Hoover Bag Porta Power Adapter Review

After the third use, the O-ring broke in half. Completely useless now. Don't waste money. No event two months ago. Terrible product. Now I'm stuck with over 10 bags that I can't use.

I had to shave off the plastic to close the door. The O-ring is looser than the original and when removing the adapter, it is easy to pull out of the pocket. But the original Hoovers are long gone and MUCH better than cloth socks.

Didn't know I need this part to use disposable bags for porta power but you do need it. It was easy to put on the elastic around the bag and holder. I thought it would tear when I put it on but it was good. I used official Hoover bags for this.

Without a gasket or rubber grommet, suction power will be greatly reduced when using this adapter. I used a perimeter gasket to make the seal and it works great, but when it comes time to change the pouch (the pouches are very small) the gasket needs to be reinstalled. There is a seal on the reusable dust bag, why it is not on the adapter is not clear. I first tried a reusable bag and cleaning the bag was messy and a chore I'd rather not repeat. Bad Hoover design.
