Eric

Very nice Patriot you have there. If you don't mind me asking, what is the LCD screen for in the back? And what hose, wand & PN are they using now, still the Wessell EBK340? Are they still using paper bags or have they made a HEPA bag? Perhaps if you could post a pic of the entire vac w/ attachments, that would be nice for all of us to see.

Might as well spend it Dan, we sure can't take it with us $$$
HA HA HA

 

[kirbyloverdan]

U got that right

Eric I am very thrifty though I spend it properly and buy the best money can buy but NEVER pay full price

I love that blue that's a must buy very soon maybe after the holidays I have a few family members that want new Aerus vacuums so I ordered them today for Christmas presents my buying will be done for this year after my next high end being delivered this week then the two Avalirs and I'm done till 2015

Dan

 

[vacman33]

I haven't seen it yet in person (just know the right peo

It was just released.
They are using the same plasti-flex hoses they have been using for a while. They have a few power head choices, the SEBO ET-1 or the Wessel-werk EBK360 and the classic SEBO ET-C.

They have enclosed bags that they have been offering for some time. HEPA filter is now flush with the machine making it not stick out as far.

The screen which I'm not 100% sure if its been released yet. But its supposed to monitor the filters and there is a function to set it to air filtration mode. I've heard in the future it will be able to do many more functions, almost like a smart phone. They really are thinking about the next generation of vacs.

Also has an improved motor made just for them, quieter, more powerful and almost 2 pounds lighter then previous models. I haven't got my hands on one yet but I will soon, and will post many more pics and other details. I enjoy seeing what other high end vacs are coming out with. Even kirby who has given us a new color lol

Here is a pic of a brochure I've got.

Tristar CS

Hey Dan,

Are they using another different motor in the CS? Last I knew they were using Hong Kong-based Johnson Electric (p/n motor supplier) motors from the Legacy and Guardian Ultra in this unit. Specs were 86" water and 432 on airwatts which was better than the Elux AB-Domel VM3 but were not brushless. What are the new performance specs? They also have two nice new air systems from their Canadian partner under the Tristar logo also.

[kirbyloverdan]

Brian it's a brand new motor

My guy sold it to me Friday and forgot to tell me about the new motor I just wanted it and I paid him and he left . I will get the specs soon from him . It's more powerful than my MG3 I also got a pure star air cleaner , similar to the Simplicity air cleaner I used to sell in my Vacuum store .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Very excited

Can't wait to get this

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Found another Omega

I Bought brand new and used I had this one rebuilt by the Kirby factory for $39.00

What a bargain it runs like new .

Dan

 

[stricklybojack]

Dan, great vacs, thx for posting.
NIB makes a lot of sense to me actually. First running old machines requires you to stock the consumables and that gets to be a pain. Next, who wants to have hundreds of dirty vacs around? Also it actually helps control the growth of the herd as the vintage ones are far more rare.
So when i think about it, ideally i see having a few daily drivers, NIB's (which store so much better), and a few project vacs that had to be saved or modified for the personal touch.
Some day the twain of what i have will meet what i think i should have...right, lol.

Which reminds me to say, if you bring too much rationality -and by that i mean almost any unless that's your thing- into the vacuum collecting equation, all the fun gets drained out.
Party on Dan...

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanx Robert

You are so right boxes store so much easier than assembled machines .
One day a future collector will be so glad I saved vintage NIB vacuums for them to enjoy their way .

You are so very welcome I really appreciate sharing my collection with all my amazing vacuum land friends who have been enjoying seeing the many different vacs that bring back memories or the newest machines out there .

This Proves there are kind people out there who make up for the "others"

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Here is the other High end vacuum

I bought today the newest Filter Queen I must be KRAZY this machine is no different than any of the past models . This is my last Filter Queen unless they make some serious changes this is another use once then store it away .

Thank God my Filterqueen guy sold it to me cheap because I almost didn't buy it but he made me an offer I couldn't say no to . I like that it matches my Aerus , Rainbow , TriStar and my next Kirby the Avalir.

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

One of the last another brand new never used

Regina Housekeeper made under Oreck ownership its a Kool vacuum with variable speed I think this was a Lewet branded vacuum at one time also .

Heavy as hell I totally forgot I had this one anyone have one of these let alone brand new ?

Dan

 

[gsheen]

I love that Classic. I got one just like it the other day. Although you would not say brown is a interesting colour it does suit the design and seems to make it stand out.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Gareth It's a perfect color for

This style Kirby I like the brown I have another one somewhere I remember putting it in a storage container just not sure where

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Here is another HOOVER

Gee maybe my middle name should be Hooverloverdan

" well although I am a Hoover lover "

My favorite Hoover Windtunnel an original one at that and BRAND NEW

Me and my BRAND NEW vacuums ...

Hoover U5451-900 Windtunnel Plus with dirt sensor In a gorgeous wine color and made in good ole

North Canton anyone have one of these BRAND NEW ?


Dan [this post was last edited: 10/29/2014-19:22]

 

[super-sweeper]

gosh, have that same WindTunnel. one of HOOVER'S finest hours, as far as bypass cleaners, that is! 

 

[kirbyloverdan]

This is such an amazing

Vacuum by Hoover I have the newest version 100th Anniversary that my good friend John Gregory owner of Sweeper Central gifted me and it's equally as good those Chinese sure know how to build a quality Hoover

Dan

 

[gsheen]

That is so true Dan. Many people blame the chinese for poor quality mean while its the fat cat Ceo.s of the company in their own country that tell the chinese to make it cheaper.
One thing about China anything is possible. If you want it cheaper they will do it. If you want Rolls Royce quality they can do it too. It all comes down to what the CEO,s in the western world want to pay.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Gareth you and I

Understand that but most collectors can't comprehend this fact that some companies do actually pay for quality .

I'm sure if you removed the made in China sticker nobody would know the difference and couldn't tell them apart .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Well they arrived

I received the new HEPA cloth bags for my new Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum the card board is very thick and they got rid of the weak spot the handle the you would use to pull the bag out of the machine .

My machine has only leaked once with the bags that came with the machine once Aerus took my original bags back and sent me the improved paper bags my machine has been dust free inside the bag chamber . Aerus claims a 250% improvement in filtration as compared to the paper bags I don't think the HEPA filter will ever get dirty

I only ordered these because I like this type of bag and basically because I can .

Dan

 

[marks_here]

I love it!!!!

"Because I can" I can't stop LOLing

 

[williamr1248]

My Extensive collection part 6

Dan,
You lost me .
What are you referring to in a 250% increase in filtration when they already were claiming almost perfect filtration with all the filters?
Unlike other users, you stated you had no leakage with the former paper bags.
If the bags are not leaking why would they claim a 250% increase in filtration and why would they go to the expense to change the bags?

Also what are your referring to "because I can"? Are these new Hepa bags available to all users or just available in certain areas?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Robert

Aerus bags were always high filtration now they are even higher filtration right on the package it says 250% better filtration the best just got better how are you lost ?
Can't something perfect be improved ?

And because I LOVE HEPA cloth bags I bought out Hoovers remaining stock of style B bags for my Aerus 8lb Fresh Era upright and for all the Hoover & Royal light weights John Gregory of Sweeper Central in Dunmore Pa gifted me . I now own every last HEPA cloth B bag that TTI had left in stock 200 in total you can never have enough bags thanks to my great friend John Gregory

Because I can ...

Rake leaves or pine needles we VACUUM them

My cub cadet leaf vacuum sure comes in handy this time of the year .

Yes Gareth you spotted my new White Mercedes ML350 SUV in the driveway I now own 3 two SUVs and a convertible I got white because I'm usually black only but this was a great buy so it's my good guy car .

They tried to sell me a Red one cheaper but I said only old ladies approaching their 60s drive red cars
my mother has a red Mercedes and I only see old woman in red cars .

Dan

 

[marks_here]

That is so true Dan! That's all I see here in The Glade is blue hair red Mercedes! . With the odd Audi every now & then!

Because I did...

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Old lady's in red cars I have no idea why that's the color car they pick but you wouldn't catch me driving a red car
