By 1958, the Hoover Junior was looking rather old-fashioned and offered little over its competitiors. The Junior 1334, launched that year, went some way to addressing those problems. A new full width nozzle cast alloy casing was introduced, and the Hoover Junior 1334 was the first small British upright to use disposable paper bags. Mechanically the cleaner was little changed, although the method of attaching the tools was simplified - you can see this here. After this machine was introduced in 1958, there were various detail changes until it was discontinued in around 1968. The 1334A of 1962 featured a zip-up bag, and in 1965 or thereabouts the cast alloy nozzle housing was changed for a lighter (but less durable) plastic one.

The pink Hoover Junior 1334 on this page had been left out for the dustmen when I rescued it. it's in totally original condition, and still runs well.
