I think George has many problems with his upright . My mother uses a Discovery II she has owned since 1986 I just checked it out yesterday and there is no dust in the bag chamber nor any on the after filter under the bag and that's with 27 years of use she vacuums everyday and hundreds of bags .
I also turned her`s over and held a tissue by the suction hose on the bottom of machine and switched the vacuum on and the tissue stood still no blowing around like Georges.
I would suggest George take his to Aerus and have it checked out and serviced as something is wrong with his upright . The home solutions and all their previous bags have always been excellent filtering bags .
