Thanks! The Tristar Canada site is set up better. Each part has an actual photo, whereas the US site doesn't. That helps. Bill

Selector Switch What is the selector switch on the power nozzle for? Does it change airflow/suction? Bill

Tristar Canada? Is there a reason why Tristar Canada is preferable? Bill

Rick, it all started . . . It all started with those Electrolux vacuums my friend gave me! I do need to spend a Saturday trying to figure out what to do with everything I've got, because one bedroom is pretty cluttered. Bill

Two Tone It was the two tone unit -- taupe with a blue/gray lid. I disassembled the filter and there are several components to it. It was filthy too. But I don't suffer terribly from allergies, so I'll see if I can't find a less restrictive filter. Bill BTW -- the power nozzle on this thing...

Current Version This is the current version. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000ASDV5I/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=284507&s=kitchen

My new Tristar that I ordered off of Ebay came today! I'm really surprised at how good it looks for a $31 investment (plus $22 for shipping, of course)! The Tristar emblem is knocked off the canister. One screw is missing from the bottom plate on the power nozzle and the decal is coming off. It...

Eureka Made It has the Eureka made PN. I think it is the model that was made from 1990 to 1992 (according the the Canadian website). I can't find a model listing on the US site. I think it was around 2000 that the company was taken over by the same corporation that owns Aerus. That's when the...

Just bought a clunker! Well, I just bought a Compact clunker off of Ebay for $30. I'm curious to see how it turns out. The listing said it doesn't come with bags, so I guess I'll need to buy the cloth bag and the paper filter bags too. Any suggestions on OEM or generic? Does it matter? Also, I...

Sandy Let me try emailing you and then try replying to my email. Don't know why it would be bounding back. I the Model G cord, straps, and wheel to Cody. I do have another turquoise hose cord, but it is not OEM. Bill

So which would you buy and why? Compact/Tristar or Filter Queen? Which has the better power nozzle?

Did you? I remember it came from someone in SAT. It's a newer blue convertible with a plastic base. Was that you? If it is, you did a super job packing it. Thanks! I've never owned a convertible before and wanted to see what they are like. Good lightweight machine. LOL! I don't own a hair...

New Plastic Model Brett, it's a newer plastic model -- just as you described. It does look like it could be hot glue -- or a silicone material. I think I'll take it off again and try to make sure the area is clean and then reattach to see if that works. The cleaner is in very good condition. It...

I have a Hoover Convertible that I recently got off Ebay. It's in very good shape, except it's leaking dust at the point where the bag assembly actually connects to the machine. It looks like someone put a bead of silicone around the throat of the bag assembly to seal it. Should there be a...

Suction Does it actually create a suction to the carpet or does the nozzle shoe just ride over the carpet on those two little front wheels? Bill

PN Color I think the all turquoise PN was introduced with the late L and 1205.

Sandy Let me check my stash, because I may have another. Bill

Turquoise Cord I have a turquoise cord and straps that I'd be glad to let go of. I think I may be able to scrounge up a wheel too. Just let me know if you'd like them. Bill

I recently found an extremely nice Hoover Celebrity with power nozzle for $10. The motor is still going strong. And with a little polish, it looks almost brand new. However, the hose at the machine end is getting weak with age. So I decided to order a replacement hose, because I like vacuuming...
