It is actually TRUE that dirty bagged uprights collect far more dust and in turn often require their dust bags to be emptied more frequently. That in turn means more pay out for dust bags, and paper ones at that. Im surprised Hoover hasn't offered a synthetic dust bag but then they're always out to make money...
An example of this is when the original Turbopower bags had the reuseable pull seal on them. I found the reusable shake out style was useful to a point - but the paper still clogged up too much to be relied upon a second time.
However, here's where the Junior and Senior fought back "in the day," though. Whereas the Turbopower has something like, 6.5 litre dust capacity, the humble little Junior and Senior offers 9 litres capacity per bag and if you have ever allowed the bags to fill completely on both the Powerplus top fill uprights and Junior U1036 and others fitted with the top fill tube, the bags can be completely choked with dust.
Cloth bags were also available for the Junior and Senior. I found it strange that they weren't available for the Turbopower or let alone TP2 series. Nice to see the return on the Purepower Lifetime model though.
Im surprised though that brush rolls are not available for the Turbopower, either. You see brush strip replacements are getting scarce now for the Junior and Senior/Powerplus, but they are still available. Not so with the Turbopower though.
And lets face it, the Junior and Senior are no longer on sale.[this post was last edited: 9/2/2015-18:51]
