Hey
I got the power nozzle. It was gosh awful. It looks like it was never used the brushroll is brand new. There is no wear on the bristles. I took it apart scrubbed it to deatth. It looks like it was outside in a box. It had bugs all over. I cleaned it up. It is like a tech drive. The vacuum pushes itself. With the nozzle pushing across carpet by itself it makes it much quicker vacuuming. It also ois everything up. I like it more and more.

Nice buy on the Compact. Those vacuums are REALLY powerful, & with a clean bag, will easily match or outclean any new canister on the market today.
Just so you know, your brushroll in your powerhead is NOT original & is not brand new. That Compact powerhead, as you know, is a rebadged Eureka Roto-Matic powerhead made in different names for different companies. When new, that powerhead would have had 2 brush strips & 2 red beater bars. Your brushroll is a original OEM TriStar replacement brushroll, not aftermarket, as the aftermarket ones are black, & it looks like it had some use but was well cleaned & taken care of before you received it. I actually prefer that powerhead over the TriStar powerhead they designed after this one, it seems the brushes protrude out the bottom plate a little bit more & agitate the carpet just a bit more. One thing though I would STRONGLY suggest doing, before it's discontinued, is order a spare internal powerhead hose to have on hand. Those internal hoses unfortunately do crack & split up from many years of use. If you really like it & want to keep it going for many years to come, might not be a bad idea. The other thing I would suggest doing is buy a pack of Kenmore 5055 HEPA Cloth bags to use instead of the single ply paper TriStar bags, just remove the cardboard collar, cut open the bag at the seam closest to the collar, & line the cloth bag with it. You will find the TriStar's filtration is MUCH BETTER, & they won't clog quite as fast & maintain airflow longer.
I personally would have bought a TriStar though, not a Compact. They put a bit more powerful motor in the TriStar CXL's, & the other problem is with the Compact, because the blower port is built into the metal body versus a plastic basket that is riveted in & meant to be replaced when worn, you are stuck to buying only the original Ametek motor the Compact & TriStar canisters came with new. You cannot modify the blower port on the Compact's body like you can the plastic blower basket on a TriStar, & therefore can't upgrade to a more powerful motor later on if desired.
Best of luck & enjoy your Compact.

I a gree the Compact and Tristar Cxl are strong performeres and built to Last, a life time .The filtration on my personal machine the blue C9 , whit enviro care bag cloth bag motor filter is quite amazing, n o suction loss , no air flow loss and it just keeps going and going.The long hose and cord are ideal for long cleaning time , not having to look fora socket to plug into .The light weight robust construction means it can take a beating and long term use .Also the added bonus of a power head / eureka style thank you Eureka btw.,adds the grooming and cleaning ability of the cleaner .
As mention the addition of the blower port is handy for clearing clogs or derbris if need be ,.All in all the Compact electra Interstate tristar cxl ex20 are strong capable cleaner and i sure love using mine .
