Nilfisks! My two GS90s

[ultralux88]

Just this Sunday (two days ago today) I drove up to Arvada (the opposite end of Denver from where I live) to pick up my latest $40 Craigslist find, another GS90, but this one came with all the tools and manuals, only missing the upholstery tool, which I'm going to order this week along with another pack or two of bags. I have an electric hose and wands from another Eureka PN setup, but we sold the lady a whole new Wessel Werk kit and the hose and wands were going to be trashed, so I saved them, and have a black Lindhaus PN that I put on it, I use this on the one I already had, shown here with the straight suction setup.

Those are

Great machines, Mine doesent get used much because the bags are terribly expensive.

Good machines.I modify Sebo bags for their "D" canisters to fit the Nilfisk.Works great!!Just use a sanding drum on a Dremel tool to enlarge the Sebo bag opening to fit over the Nilfisk bag horn in the Nilfisk bag bin.You don't need to sand much!I have a Sebo D vacuum so I have the bags.I am sure there are other bags that can fit or be modified in a similar way to work in the Nilfisk.In Greenville there are no Nilfisk dealers.Got my Nilfisk from the trade in pile in the Kirby salesmans van.

The bus are kinda pricey, but they are large and hold a lot of dirt, and I love the machine enough to still use it. I want to replace both of their HEPA filters but those are big money and will have to wait! I do plan on buying a set of wands and the hose with the metal attachment end (both suction only hoses cost the same, so I want the cooler looking one since I already have the other with the one Nilfisk) for the one I just got. I already ordered 2 upholstery tools, another dust brush and another of the flexy round vinyl crevice tools so I'l have a compete set for the one and the only tools I really consider necessary for the more well used one I already had. The used tools with the more recent found one will be used on the one I had already. The Nilfisk I already had has more scuffs and scratches and was just over all used harder than the one I just got, so the new attachments are going to the nicer looking one. I still value both the same, but one is the kind of machine I will only use in the house, while the other is one I'd happily take out to vacuum my truck with for example, it already has scratches and scuffs so I'm not as afraid to risk one more.
