The future of TriStar/not Electrolux is very grim and confusing.

@tolivac 🤣😂 it definitely was a refugee of a vacuum. @blackheart You're not wrong it could have been worse I've had much worse. I got screwed on a Bridgeport milling machine that UPS freight supposedly misplaced some of the parts. @gregvacs28 get your Nazi sympathizing ass out of here...

@gj9696 Glad you were able to find that part! I was worried that might be hard to find.

I just wanted to make a post about a recent experience. I returned this machine in the eBay seller is currently selling it broken. I just wanted to warn the community not to purchase this machine. Here's a video showing whats broken and the like to the live ebay listing...

@gj9696 Hey if it was from this seller in Waco Texas. don't buy from them I got some new old stock that was broken as well. They're storing them outside or something. Them not shipping them with adequate packing material. https://www.ebay.com/str/texasapplianceparts

@blackheart @n0oxy @lesinutah You're 100% correct. But the purpose of this post was for a deranged person to be on their soapbox shouting nonsense at all of us.

@j3ttf Yeah they use the same basic variant of this for about 20 years.

@regularrett69 It's nice to see more pictures of this. There is a time when these things were not uncommon. Very cool to see now. I assure you whatever local vacuum store is by you will sell you all of their" mega "bags for next to nothing.

I recently acquired a Miele S248i. This machine was made in 1988 in free Germany. It's one of the basic models with no speed control or switch on handle. The power nozzle motor was made in 1982 the power nozzle itself was made in Switzerland. I have to say upon first use the machine was...

That old machine really looks great with a good polish on it!

@doron Are you buying it to collect or do you plan on actually using it? If you're looking for something to actually use in the regular @compuvac has a good point all of those machines are more practical.

If anybody wanted to see one of these taken apart.

@eurekaprince yeah I figured that out from your link thank you so much again. It'll probably be a month or two before I'll have a video to post on it. But from one another friend of mine said it is pretty powerful. after taking it apart and putting it back together it's really innovative for...

@eurekaprince Thank you!

@ctvacman Thanks for replying I figured you'd be on here. I searched eBay UK and EU and came up with nothing.but if you have a seller or a different place I would love to hear!

Upon obtaining a Viking v720. I came across an old thread on vacuum land referencing a 739 machine and also came across a very old YouTube video with what appear to be White HEPA looking bags inside it. I've looked around the internet and not seen these HEPA bags for sale anywhere. However I was...

This was brought up in a previous thread. There was a previous thread titled "worst vacuum YouTube channel" or something like that.

@tolivac I would say the Hoover/TTI machine is of higher quality then the Riccar/simplicity. Having the battery down low makes it maneuver a little bit then there's the lifetime belt which is a big improvement!

@salicia As much as I love tristars. That sort of performance is common with most of the middle to higher in canisters these days. SEBO,Miele,Nilfisk, Lindhaus,Numatic & Zero-G all have Superior performance and features. It's weird to me that somebody would complain about the price of...

My full review on the Hoover version.
