Got it I got the somewhat hard to source, replaceable brush strip and it made a HUGE difference plus it's easier to push around. The SEBO powerhead actually tells you when to replace the brush strip with its idiot lights which are not so idiotic after all - lights are all green now, it's...

Hi there hey there ho there, ok so I have a vintage Patriot set up for HEPA with a 350e Sebo powerhead and it all works GREAT. However, I recently am getting some indication from the banks of idiot lights that the BRUSH STRIP needs replacement and lo and behold I looked at it and the bristles...

I have the patriot 4 wheel version with Hepa filter bags and the Sebo nozzle with the idiot lights, and THAT beast captures all dust. It's annoying to set up with an archaic design of inserting/ locking the hose fitting in place being a twist and lock pinch your fingers routine did I say...

HEPA bags I have a Patriot canister which I like more than the TriStar (the newer ones!) which has one of these VAC HEPA bags and I could not believe the astounding amount of fine dirt, grit, loose hairs and whatever else it trapped. Pounds and pounds of dust and crud, where did it all come...

? Mystery here with this adapter I have this A101 adapter and it does NOT fit 1-1/4" wands or generic tools. It is slightly too large! Anybody else seeing this?

Aren't there wand adapters so I can use generic floor tools / accessories for this model? There is SOME kind of short adapter but apparently it was used for: a BEDBUG SPRAYER accessory! WTF. Another extremely dumb marketing decision made! This just sucks.

Miele continued Vac shop confirmed the board is bad. And it may not be available. If so, the hunt for an odd-job electronics tech to replace the Triac will be underway. These people are harder to find than a lost gold mine.

Miele Platinum Canister continued..... The motor tests good! Spins up fine when electricity is directly applied to motor windings attached to board but will not spin up even when board is getting electricity and control panel is lit! Is this definitely the board gone bad then?

So I am diagnosing a problem on an S344 CANISTER. It turns on, the green panel lights go up and down, but the motor never comes on. I opened it up and determined that power is going to the small board astride the motor, but the motor itself never gets power. What is the likelihood A) the...

Miracle Mate Do you have it complete? Here in Burbank!

Envirocare CRAP Oh yeah, there's complaints all over the internet on this. IMHO these are defective-design paper vacuum bags. There's a perfect youtube video the guy complains about the liner ripping just like mine did, so he put in a VAC HEPA bag, which is what I'm ordering. SHAME ON YOU...

THIS IS A PROBLEM! I just contacted EZ vacuum about this! This seems like a VERY serious issue that somebody needs to get a handle on especially the mfg!

I don't know if all Envirocare bags are doing this but I used one for my TriStar 101G and the inner microfine liner quickly DISINTEGRATED and SHREDDED after a few uses. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Would seem to be of major concern. Hmmm. Can take photos.............

Yes I have one Yes I have a car wash vacuum in my collection, along with an entire car wash. Right in my living room. I drive my car right in while I'm having breakfast/ whatever. So convenient............

Why bother? I also repair espresso machines - some with similar repair problems and design - some are just NOT meant to be serviced, impossible to open up and get to parts(if you can even get them) like NESPRESSO - sealed units that cannot be serviced and if you try, it's a cure that's worse...
