Fred, I sure hope you'll post some YouTube videos of this machine running. Have you turned it on yet? This may be hard to believe, but it's even quieter than a Model G, as long as it has a filter in the rear end.
And btw, it's the same filter that was used in the LX, LXI, E and E-A. So if you have any of those U.S.-made filters, they will work just fine.
And, also, yes, as you discovered, standard "Type C" bags fit the machine. The Canadian bags are identical, other than the printing on the tops of course.
