Hello all, I have just acquired one of these machines and was wondering where I should search in the UK for spares online, does anybody also know where one would find a brushroll motor or spares for them in 240v?

Tristar has been out of production for a few years now and parts are becoming hard to find. The brush roll is common to modern Aerus power nozzles but not sure where you would find a 240 volt brush roll motor. I am pretty sure the existing brush roll motor can be disassemble to replace brushes and bearings and 120 volt ones at least last forever. Everything about them is super durable.

The wands are identical to those on the Aerus Guardian Platinum ( the US version of the Lux Intelligence, but our flavor has Aerus style plastic wands and a steel reinforced hose, very different from the Lux parts ). You can use Guardian Platinum attachments too though it is better to try to find the Tristar attachments on the US eBay site, along with their perch that fits on the wand.

Btw, a 240 volt Tristar is rare. That's a keeper for sure.
