Thanks
I did notice the bag I found 2 places to get them.
I turned it on for first time and something was off. The motor filter is a double layered filter. I put a compact HEPA filter on it. The bag was the bag for the machine. With the tube for hose directly into bag produced an issue. The compacts and tristars had airflow across the top of bag. The Patriot bag is like wax almost. It restricted airflow alot. I put compact bag in the machine.
With those two changes I felt it's true power. I'm guessing up to 20 percent increase.
I live wessell werk 340 power nozzle.
It's pretty close in power to my çxl. My çxl needs bearings packed in motor but it doesn't affect performance.
It's a really nice vacuum.
