I like my Tristar CXL a lot. Also, my Sebo X4 and Windsor Versamatic and Versamatic Plus. Good Vacs!

How do you like it? Is it an upgrade to the rest of the G series, or just a different flavor? Personally, I like the overall look of it (just like the original Sentria?) but that color scheme and pattern just doesn't do it for me. I was a kid in the 70's and the graphics remind me of early...

Ryan, Yeah, that coffee aroma is not so bad. I had a similar thing happen, however, with some material that had a strong dog smell to it. I was dismayed that the smell seemed pass right through the new HEPA filter that I had on the vacuum. It made me wonder how small odor particles are that...

The electric motor has to be the biggest innovation in vacuum cleaners. It's really hard to vacuum while you're stoking the steam engine with coal. The second biggest innovation that made vacuum cleaners work better, in my book, has to be the invention of carpet. Before that the brushroll would...

Based on the difference in permeability between the pleated HEPA media and the stock foam filter, there MUST be some restriction in airflow when using the HEPA filter. That's not to say the vacuum won't still work very well; my CXL works great with the HEPA filter on it. No complaints, there...

Hi, Tyler. Nice idea for a thread! Quick question about your vacs: I notice you have a Eureka PN, the Power II. I have one that is similar (it's a black "Ironsides" model), and it a great Vibragroomer II brushroll in it. I have one problem, though. It's that the Eureka PN won't fit properly...

So I'll throw this out just saying that this is my opinion. Not to start a flame war. I personally don't love the styling and look of this new machine. I think it's OK, but not great, like some of the older machines. It's interesting: the old Electroluxes were so unique looking. When you saw...

Hi, This model seems very similar in appearance to the Ultralux 80th Anniversary model I have. There are some differences: the labeling of course, and the Ultralux has a lighted status panel where the big rectangular silver sticker is. I do love mine. It is a fine cleaner and a real pleasure...

Wow, let us know how it goes. I wouldn't mind getting more suction and airflow from my Tristar. It's great as it is, but turbocharging it sounds awesome. This really is the perfect opportunity for you to experiment, given the blown motor. Please keep us informed! Quick question regarding the...

I have one of those. It looks exactly like yours! I actually love the thing. It has very good suction and performs very well. I just love the feel of it and its performance. One quirk about it is that the main switch on the body does NOT control the power going to the powernozzle. That means...

Wow, great find. I always love the blocky, squat look of the Patriot. It reminds me of a strange little motor home from the 50's. So cool! I'm assuming that the motor is pretty much the same as the Tristar CXL. Do you know if it uses the Amatek Lamb? I do love my CXL. Great performance. One...

Well, I have the DC23. It was my first real vacuum cleaner and got me interested in this whole world of vacuums. My girlfriend and I loved it. It cleaned really well. Worked fantastically on the kind of carpet she had. And it filtered really well, too. The air seemed so clean after vacuuming...

...well, I looked over the new offerings and I think this has to be the coolest vacuum I've seen. I love the graphic. So playful and fun! I love that Sebo are getting creative with their graphics. Such a refreshing change from the norm. Can you buy just the filter cloth with the graphic? I...

The US model did use Edge lift, but no longer. The current offering uses a blue Sebo power head. Well...I'm not even sure about that, now. I can't seem to find the pic of blue Sebo power head that was their website very recently. http://miraclemateusa.com/platinum.html

I've finally started using it, and it's blowing me away! What a great utility vacuum! So quiet compared to a Shopvac or to my beloved Sanitaire Mity-Mite. Interesting that the specs are so lack-luster, and yet it picks up like crazy! What gives? If it had a powered hose, it might very well be...
