Nice

I like how you got the roses or flowers and how it looks like it came from the factory that way. I also noticed your super long hose. I do really like the color.

I simply applied the decal from printer paper, after copying the photo and printing it, then added transparent tape over it.Voila and work out all the air bubble so it stayed on better .Its not factory but ,best i could do whit what i have .It has a touch up on the bottom and side of the canister, i plan on buying a new bumper or cleaning it better works awesome .The hose is a replacement. Its about 8 feet. I can make it 12 feet if i connect it to a spare tristar compact hose.It is handy to have it needs a new cap and bumper but this vacuum is use 365 days a year so thats why i fix the paint shes a driver not a show vac .

Hey

I ordered from sweeper guys on eBay and they said bumpers are no longer available and I received their last one. They took forever to mail it to me. I believe TriStar Canada probably sells it as us site isn't good for ordering. Canada has a stronger dedicated compact/TriStar owners. When looking Canadian site might be the only company with bumpers.
I still have to put my compact logo back on my c8. I vacuumed my small bedroom testing HEPA bag. I think 3 minutes that's stuffing bag and unstuffinng then vacuuming room. I haven't vacuumed that room with compact in a while. It cleaned fast and sucked up way more than 880 my dirt devil stick vac and shark duo clean rocket.
When you vacuum with your compact do you take cloth bag out and blow it out and blow filter out after each time you vacuum. I think filter is prior to vacuuming. It's instructions on bags.

If i am vacuuming very fine dust i will clean filter out and cloth bag before and after let say dry wall then yes .But house dust i change bag once a month and motor filter every 6 months B.Like i said if im using my C9 for fine dirt then yes for sure and paper bag always too .
