shakeout bag

[snugs41]

My mom has an old Model 29 upright Hoover that works fabulously BUT the shakeout bag has pretty much deteriorated. Is there an acceptable alternative since I have been told finding a replacement bag would be nearly impossible? Any ideas?

A Kirby 500 bag

should work just fine. It's a black, heavy cotton without any logo; the spring coil that comes with it will have to come out of the "business end" so you can re-fit it to your Hoover's bag ring. You can see what I did with my Hoover 725 in the attached pictures.

Thank you so much. I am not really someone that paid much attention to this vacuum that I grew up with, but now I realize what a wonderful item it is. You could pull the curtains off the rods with the power this thing has. Hate to see it die because of a part.

Hmm...well,

I may be wrong on the kind of bag you need. For some reason I was envisioning your 29 as the old "coffee can" style, for which the Kirby cloth bag would work very well. Not so sure about the one you have; maybe someone else can advise!

29

Is NOT a coffee can, a 29 was similar to a 60, 61, 52 and 63, 634 and a Citation.Bags CAN be found for this.

Not a perfect match...
