any great vacuum canister cleaner that equals tristar compact

[salicia]

i would like to know if there is any vacuums as good as tristar compact? how are the new mieles? is there a miele that is a compact canister that is very powerful or any other brand?

Miele’s are really good the compact c2 is a really good one because it’s super small and nimble but still has the same Miele vortex motor they use in the rest of their lineup. The electro+ model comes in marine blue and hosts the SEB228 electro plus head which is a really nice full size full power head. I think you would like that given your specifications. Another one that you may like would be the zero g. It reminds me a lot of a Tri Star. I don’t know how compact it is and I don’t have any personal experience with one but I know vacuum devil on here has really good detailed videos about the zero g and I know he highly recommends it. I trust him because he definitely knows his machines.

The Patriot vacuum is better than the Tri-Star in many ways. And costs less to repair than the way-overpriced Miele repair parts.

I'd second with Mieles5380leo on the blue Miele Compact C2 Electro Plus, that is a fantastic canister. I also really like the red Miele C1 HomeCare PowerLine, the last vacuum shop that I worked at sells those because it's one of the only few canister vacuums that have less problems. Another brand that I really like is Sebo, also made in Germany like Miele. Both the K3 and the E3 models are just awesome vacuums. I personally own a Tristar CXL and I can say that I would definitely use either German canister(s) anyday over the Tristar. But if you prefer to still buy American, I'd also second with dysonman1. You really can't beat the Patriot.

Go for a older Compact/TriStar like the CXL/DXL/EX-20; they have more power than the A101 (EXL/MG/CS which is the current mdl) & the older mdls have metal wands with cord holder which is more reliable (although U will have to connect the pigtail cord for the Power Nozzle) than the A101 which have the electrified wands & don't hold up as well as the older units

If U want a mini PN (for vacing stairs & upholstery) U can use a Wessel Werk HEB160 (get the one with the pigtail cord) on older Compact/TriStar vacs

@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 replacement parts and then name a machine that has the exact same prices on the replacement parts.

if you're looking for a portable vacuum that's a daily driver consider all that I listed above.








Some of my favorite canisters I would recommend above in YouTube videos.

Recommend

I'd recommend the cxl or a patriot that's green or blue. I have a c8, c9 and cxl and the performance is the same on all 3 as the motors are the same.
I'd definitely suggest the wessell werk ebk 360. It runs about $150 but with a compact/tristar it's perfect.

I think

I think it's a bit ridiculous to put the tristars on such a high pedestal. The pre lux ones were good machines but i've seen machines with far more suction and airflow to claim they're unequaled is nothing more than uneducated bias.

I guess though the main question is what exactly are you looking for in a potential replacement?

 

[electroluxxxx]

I would happily take a Miele over a Compact/Tristar any day! for those collector(s) who say Miele's are junk should probably own more than 3 machines in their collection. Compact/Tristar machines actually lose quite a bit of airflow and it usually happens pretty quickly depending on how much you vacuum and how much sqft you vacuum. I agree with Blackheart on the fact that the Compact/tristar should be taken off of the pedestal. If you are looking for a replacement machine take a look and see what Miele has to offer, another machine that would be good to look at is a Perfect... Extremely powerful and basically an improved old Electrolux. You can also Look at the Aerus lineup. All in all I guess its all about what tickles your fancy in terms of attachments, power, versatility, quality, price and longevity.

No

You use the lotion to keep the skin soft or you get the hose!
The poster asked about tristars and compacts.
I'd love to own a miele. I also would love to have a central vacuum.
Why not a rainbow. I hear the new srx's are amazing.

one factor that needs to be taken in consideration when considering a Miele canister vs the tristar/compact.....is the absurdly high repair costs ( most likely it will be the electric hose for the Miele...its at least 3 times the cost of compact/tristar hose replacement)

 

[rivstg1]

I agree on considering a Rainbow...but they aren't good for quick pickups. From lots of testimonies and other stuff I"ve read on the SRX......uh, not impressive.

kelton

granted, that's totally true, but it also wasn't the only brand I was referring as there are plenty out there that will compare or do better lol. Someone mentioned the Patriot, and I also happen to have a Vortech Force XR3000 that I like quite well and I know for a fact that they still make them!

Les! you are too funny!

 

[thevacomaticiec]
