Tristar DXL Vacuum Cleaner Unboxing & First Look
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Here's a beast of a vacuum cleaner made primarily of a very thick metal and quality components throughout. Quite odd looking but very retro in appearance and looks like it was made in the 1950s, but I think it's a lot newer than that.

I sold those machines for 5 and a half years. Was ahead of its time. You can reverse the hose and attach the crevice tool to the tubes and use it as a blower. Also, the hair on the inner brush is real horse hair, that’s why it is so soft. The hair is on a metal band that you can pop out of the rubber housing and then keeping it in a blower set-up, you can actually blow out a clogged drain by placing the rubber to the nozzle and placing over the drain hole. I take no responsibility if you cause damage while doing that, but I’ve done it multiple times and it worked for me. Back when I left the company tin 1997, they retailed for $1895 US. The company that built the machine, Interstate Engineering was started in 1942 and originally built airplane motors.
Oh the memories this vacuum brings! I remember the day the salesman came to my house to give my mom the demonstration. He vacuumed up a box of spilled marbles, sand and even picked up a bowling ball to show suction. My mother, as a new divorcee, was swayed into buying this beast of a machine. I think she paid about $1,500 for it in the early 90s. I hated that dang thing because we had a raised brick foyer separating our living room from the rest of the house, and for an 11-12 year old operating the vacuum, it was so heavy to pick up over the brick. And I always thought it looked silly. Thanks for the memories, as my mother has been gone for 2 years now.
In 1988 I was a salesman selling this machine. We had 3 days training before being sent out with a demonstration model of the machine (rob w is correct, the first 2 digits reflect the year of manufacture of the machine), and a black pilot bag containing two tupperware containers, one that had sand the other containing nuts and bolts. If I could get my foot in the door and go through my demo pitch, I could sell a unit. And the first thing they taught us was to never call this a "vacuum cleaner"!
Where you have the part that opens up, our demo model was clear plastic. We had filter paper that we used underneath it to show how much dirt we picked up. This is how we did it: first, I had the lady of the house bring her vacuum cleaner. I would then say, "What do you consider a vacuum cleaning is? You hear a noise, and you see dirt vanishing." I would then put some of the sand on her carpet, pull out my pen, make a noise with my mouth, and swish my pen side to side - the sand would vanish! I would then go over that area with her vacuum clear about ten or more times and ask if she was satisfied that it was clean and she would say yes. I would then put a filter under the lift-up part of the Tri-Star, connect it to power, and go over the area she cleaned with her vacuum but only once and she would see a whole bunch of dirt ... that would usually sell the machine right there.
It's an amazing machine whose power actually increases as that bag fills up due to something called the Venturi system, a swirling action that increases suction as the area inside the bag decreases. Within just a few weeks I sold more than a dozen or so units before I quit to go to the job I was waiting for.
Roger, yours is a 1993 model. If you look at the serial # in front, the first two digits tell the year your cleaner was made. TriStar in America is still in business, but they were bought by Aerus Electrolux in the late 1990's & they look slightly different now. You can use a Kirby 301291 knurled upright belt to replace the powerhead belt, virtually identical in size. You are wise to use the Numatic bags in it, just fold the bag over the edge of the cloth bag. The paper bags you got with the cleaner are original, but it's been my experience that they clog VERY quickly, with hardly any dirt in the bag. The Numatic bags, being HEPA Cloth, should work much better. The filter in the back is a afterthought, like you suspected....those didn't come out till the early 1990's, & this design, with little changes, had been around since 1946.
I have the very same vacuum.....also made in 1993....my parents bought it new for around $1000 Canadian, and I inherited it when they passed.....I'm just about to replace the hose....the first major repair since bought new. It is an excellent vacuum....change your filters regularly (bag and motor) and keep your cloth inner bag clean, and you should get many years of trouble free use....I think you got an incredible bargain.....
Greetings, this is Pastor Mike of Oregon, USA. I own two TriStar DXL vacuum cleaners. If you bought it for 35 pounds (about $47 US), you got a really good deal. They sell for about $2000 new. That's what I paid for a new one back in 1994. They are very durable and it still works great. I had to put a new motor in it once. To be honest, the newer ones aren't as sturdy as the one you have (it's just like mine),.... built like a tank! You do have to replace parts once in awhile, depending on use. You should be able to get after-market TriStar filter bags (they are best). I bought a second TriStar DXL and still had to pay $500 for it (and I thought that was worth it). I have had many different vacuum cleaners: Kirby Upright, Filter Queen, which I still own, a Dyson bagless, etc. The TriStar you have is the best I've ever had. Don't get rid of it, just keep fixing it! Take care, Best Wishes and, as applicable, GOD Bless. From Pastor Mike Benjamins, Jr. of Oregon (born in Holland). 12-15-19 @ 5:04 P.M. Oregon Time.
My Father owned this company and now my Brother owns it. You got a very good deal on this machine and it looks very clean. If you need anymore information I am happy to help you. I am still using the one my Father gave me in in 1992 and it works perfectly. You can buy new belts if yours is worn. The Tristar DXL model was made from about 1993 to 1998. The company started in 1957 so there are several different models. You did get a really good deal! I believe the original price when it was brand new was over 1,500.00 American dollars
We've had one of these for about 35 years and it's still going strong! We liked the quirky retro look and apart from the belts wearing out - as they do - and a couple of connections coming loose through daily use, it's been a good 'un!
Hi Roger...nice to see a 240v Tristar. The manufacturer is based in Anaheim, California (pronounced anahyme)...which is a large city just south of Los Angeles. It is the home of Walt Disney’s very first Disneyland theme park, which opened in 1955. I would imagine lots of the hotels and motels around Disneyland use Tristars to clean their rooms!
They were developed to clean TWA airplanes between flights.
I have the same model here in Canada... Interestingly mine has a gear belt and pulley on the powerhead. No slipping. I bought it 10 years ago, and the belt still has no cracks in it. I would think its the original belt.
That looks to be in great condition from how I usually see these.
These are some of my favorite stranger vacuums that are made!
The design dates back to 1937 they were also sold under the name compact. And you're absolutely right that HEPA filter is an afterthought as a system is not completely sealed. Tip about the cord if you open the bag you can release the cord as a quick release. I personally think this machine is more elegant than the newer mg to style machines there currently producing. Great video is always Rodger I've added it to my playlist of TriStar vacuums on my channel!
What a fantastic vacuum cleaner. I have watched a lot of videos about these. What you might be interested is the European Lux brand. They only sell door to door and those vacuums are partly metal. For some reason they never sold in the UK. They are designed like the old Electroluxes, but with modern technology. I have mid 90's Lux Royal D790 and I love it. Very well made, quiet with high suction level. Actually I measured suction and it's in the same level as my Miele C3 powerline with the 1200 watt motor. Lux intelligence is the current model. I see those in the eBay (Germany).
Nice bizzar vacuum, the wand isn't damaged, that edge on the wand helps locate the knob on the end of other tube :) Rainbow uses this solution on old E2 models but it's covered by plastic ring ;)
This is the better tristar vs the newer ones. Great find
You got a really condition vacuum for a really good price! It's a keeper for sure! Usually the ones are on Ebay in North America are trashed. I was in Tristar sales training before. So I learned the history, materials(constructions) and performance specs.
The company started making warplanes(prop type) for the war. When war ended they wanted to make a consumer good. Their research and survey led them to making a good vacuum cleaner. They make fire protection equipment and undestructable plastic hockey gear as well. Hence the wierd looking after filter, like a respirator filter. They used their airplane know how to design the funny looking inlet as you said in the video. The purpose was so the air flows in at a certain degree angle to produce a cyclonic action to prevent filter clogs in front of the motors air suction pathway. Possibly they sold some rights so Vortech Force(Italian) vacuum to make theirs with similar enginnering design.
I did sales training on the MG2(newer type grey) model, the newest one is MG3(charcoal) I call the MG3 the Lamborghini of vacuums because it is dark charcoal and high performance with a jet engine like shriek. It was sold to door to door sales style. In 2009 it was sold for $2800 CDN. I was so impressed with it, I later got a demo model. Had it for 11 years now? No problems. Tristar's can run easily 30+ years. Filter Queen is another popular brand that last 30+ yrs as well. My mom has a Filter Queen at least 30 yrs and still runs.
The strong cloth bag(cotton/kevlar) is a catch for the paper bag(collection). Always use the paper bag. Clean the sponge motor filter as well. Your pleated round after filter could be HEPA rated. Possibly aftermarket makes non HEPA, the round charcoal is to remove odors.
I hope my comments helped you answer some of your questions.
Do you know if TriStar is owned by Aerus now? Regardless, I'm very surprised they don't have an online buying option, or even a "hey, I'm interested, send a salesman to my house" sort of setup. We have a 1991 machine I inherited and it's great. Wondering how it compares to the A101 models.
@@BrandenMoffat they sell Tristar parts at Eletrolux dealers. Possibly some ownership or merger.
Sorry don't work for them any more.
I believe the newer ones have a diffrent motor from 91's. Tristar's are durable, saw an older 80's one the only thing replaced was the power cord because she always yanked on it.
@@stevel1475 Thanks! I've only had to replace the pigtail between the canister and hose as it's always being tugged on with the way it's designed.
Nice unboxing video. I still have my Tristar I bought from a door-to-door salesman in 1995. It's still going strong, but I had to replace the powered hose at least once. FYI, this vacuum was designed by Raymond Lowey. Fun fact, it's featured in the film Gattaca (1997) with Jude Law, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman.
Back in the 70s I sold these and was convinced it was one of the best vacuums I have ever seen bar none😊
12:08 Roger's unfortunate misfortune has invented makeshift thumb guillotine!
In America , sold door to door, very expensive bagged cyclone,painted metal, nicked named the PIG for its looks. A selling feature, the salesman lit a cigarette, let the vacuum suck it up, and the lit cigarette was put out due to the cyclone. Exhaust filter was added later,(Your correct it was an after thought for allergy sufferers, caster wheels were supposed to be same material as bowling balls. A friend tried to sell a similar version in the US in mid 1970's
Made me chuckle for some reason 13:06 "Wow". Good work Roger, you put a lot of effort and time into your videos. It certianly pays off. Cheers!
I ❤my Tristar cxl 50th anniversary edition cause they're the best vacuum that been sold door to door and they're an absolute vacuum killers
I saw them all through the 90s for $2269.00 they have been manufacturing that machine for years away in the 50s still manufacture today in the same location Anaheim California interstate and engineering been to the factory many times worked for Jim Ogborn Excel distributing Anaheim and orange you’ve got a hell of a deal
Cyclonic refers to the cyclonic action inside of the bag all of the dirt is forced to the front of the bag so it keeps a clear path for the air flow to the fan which is in the back😊
I paid $2500 for my tristar! Lol exact same machine! You got a great deal on that!😎😁💕
My parents still have theirs. Works great. We called it "The Pig" growing up.
I have had My Tristan since 93 or 94. The serial number starts with 93 which is the date it was manufactured. It’s been very reliable and still works well. Mine had a retractable electric chord but was too short and was pulled out too far and will not retract any more. It’s a nuisance wrapping the chord up but I don’t have much carpet left so will likely last me my lifetime. Mine came with attachments for hardwood, upholstery etc. It’s served me well.
You can pick up Filter Queens cheaply on Ebay too. I might get one of those.
Haha that filter is crazy! The newer Tristars have a more modern looking filter.
Yep, you can still buy tristar vacuums, your dxl was the last model to use that body style and the exl was the first model to use the new more streamlined body. The newest model is the cs and the good news is every tristar/compact uses the same paper and cloth bag set up so they are available
Yes they are, but I can't find them in the UK.
I was able to find some paper bags on Amazon.

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't see them when I first looked. I have added them to my basket ready for my next order.
When are you going to do your update video on the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball? You did a short one but you said you’re going to a full review.
I like the retro look of this vacuum, it looks like something from the 1950's.
Exactly. They were designed in the 1950s with "atomic age" styling which was the most modern style of the day and at the time was branded as a Compact
I have a tri star ,it is my second one in 60 yrs. The cord pulled out of the motor and it's pretty new. What can I do?
I had that model years ago. Had it all these years, but lost it when I moved a couple of years ago. I bought mine new for I THINK $1300 USD., maybe more. I wouldn't use any other machine if I could help it. Am looking to getting a more modern (used) one here shortly. I used to be able to blow up air mattresses and stuff from the other end. Loved that feature, too. BTW, that is not the right bag that goes inside the filter part. You've probably found the right one since then, I'll assume, as this is a year old already. : )
Yep they have them here in the USA
Those are great vacuum cleaners.
The design is from the 1950s, but didn't change very much until the mid 1990s with the EXL. (And the EXL, MG2 and CS are still pretty similar under the hood.)
Hi Roger, I have this vacuum and I feel like they are a robust vacuum. The only problem I've had is the power cord where it connects to the vacuum for the power hose seems to get wrapped around and will short out eventually. The suction power isn't top of the line but I do like it. We call it here at home ( Piglet ).
It will work just fine without that silly looking filter, they did for years.
Hello. Do you know of any difference between this vacuum and the patriot vacuum? I see that the power head looks different but don't know if they work any different.
@@Bunkysworkshop work the same just different body and bigger motor in the patriot
That is either a exl, or a cxl, they are very good cleaners and they do use a cyclonic system with the bag. Air comes in and swirls around the bag chamber.
My family used to have one of these when I was young in the early 90s. I called it the silver pig, and I hated it. It always fell over and my skinny little butt was only just strong enough to tip it back up. They seem to perform pretty well, on part with electrolux vacuums, but as a kid, yeah I didn't like it. Also, you can get HEPA rated pre-motor filters and/or HEPA bags and you don't need to use the goofy exhaust filter thing.
Was there HEPA back then? I like bagged but also light the added HEPA filters with it. Looking for a older solid build vacuum
If that one was mine I would paint the housing in antique gold. Wrap the vacuum hose in cloth and replace the electrical cord with a textile braided one and the vacuum cleaner would look awesome vintage! (by the way I subscribed since you seem to have many interesting videos.)
Oof I felt that lid on the thumb 😢🥲🥲
I’ve used Sugru to repair a loose cord on my rainbow power nozzle. You might consider it.
The "cloth bag" is meant to be a support for the paper disposable bag.. They are both used. The cloth bag is not intended to be used as a dust collector..
Oh these are amazing! I have a us one which is a cxl. Bags are cheap on amazon us, but can order/give you some?
Hi Roger if so when are you going to do a review on your Dyson v8 absolute that you got for Christmas ? They are such a good little vacuum, I think it will impress you. My Grandmother has one and it really impressed me. I love the deep carpet cleaning that the Dyson v8 can do. I would really love for you to do a review on the Dyson. I really like your channel and find it the most useful and entertaining of all, keep up the good work. 😀😉
thanks for some vacuum goodness
I think these cost around $2000 in the US. It seemed to perform ok but you'd expect a lot more for such an expensive cleaner. Maybe the later ones performed better?
12:07 just nearly wee’d laughing 😂. Don’t know why that tickled me so much
Great videos I don't suppose you sell any of your machines do you?
Can you please make an unboxing and review video on the Dyson Cyclone V10 absolute? I would appreciate it. Thanks!
neat looking
I just got one of these vacuums. Mine has poor suction due to a massive air leak around the lid. I do have the cloth bag inserted. The Tristar parts person told me to order a new cloth bag. I am not confident that a new bag will make much difference. The bag doesn't look very worn and if I close the lid, no matter how much pressure I apply, the air leaks all around the lid. Seems like it needs some kind of rubber gasket but perhaps I'm wrong?
The cloth bag has a thick rubber gasket to seal the lid, if you have an air leak try a new cloth bag. To my knowledge that’s the only gasket for the lid.
We have one, and the head unit is failing. Where do I find a new (not used) "turbo head" for these vacuums?
Growing up in the 60's I remember my bf's mom had a "Interstate compact" very similar to this minus the "carbuncle" air filter theirs had just a flap where the hose could be connected for blowing. Though it came with an air powered beater brush the vacuum worked so well with only the "Magalite" rug floor attachment (one of the first pieces you unpacked) the air powered beater brush (which looked like a swimming pool vacuum head) was never used.
You can still buy bags and accessories on Amazon at reasonable prices.
One thing I remember about this vacuum was when they got their first remote controlled RCA color TV (remote was not inferred) whenever this vacuum was used it would turn on the TV and raise the volume to the highest level, seemed the TV didn't like when the vacuum was used ;)
Here is some history you may be interested in, (bf's mom's was the bluish green pictured in photo)

When Interstate designed this machine in 1937 for Howard Hughes to be used in cleaning airplanes it was affectionately known as "the pig"

@@seesea-sv3xw I am lucky enough to have two "TWA" upholstery tools that were used to clean the airplanes between flights.
Nice vintage Tristar!
The company originally made propeller fighter planes for WW2. When the war was over they did a survey. What home appliance they would spend a bit more money on for a quality product. It was the vacuum.
They specialize in making firefighter mask filters(filter media) and hockey gear(plastics). I am familiar with the MG2 and MG3 specs. They have a magnesium metal body, bowling ball plastic for the wheels, unbreakable plastic for the shafts and handles. Kevlar and cotton catch bag. The air that flows into the vacuum body at a 30 degree angle(airplane know how) that causes a cyclonic flow. So it doesn't block the filter flow in front of the motor suction.
It's good to use a disposable vacuum bag in the catch bag.
Maintenance items is catch bag should be cleaned, motor foam filter should be cleaned, after filter should be replaced once a year.
Hope my info helps!
I have have owned my MG3 Tristar for 11 years. Sounds like a mini jet engine, I wear ear muff protection when I use it. My friends that come over are impressed that my place looks spotless. The secret, vacuum once a week with the Tristar!
Filter Queen is another good vacuum. My mom has a Filter Queen(700 model) for 30 years. It still works, she had the hose replace at like 25 years because of a tear.
The one and many people recommend is the Model 700(brown one) a real workhorse. I have found 3 Model 700 thrown out. They all work, guess they were moving out or getting rid of old stuff.
@@stevel1475 The company ( Interstate ) was owned by Howard Hughes and started making vacuum cleaners in 1937 to clean airplanes.. I really don't know where the other information comes from ...
@@1953childstar when I went for sales training they told me all that.
We have a few. The design originally predates WWII, obviously.
Extremely good performers with HEPA bags, of course they do look weird.
The power handles always crack.
In a harsh environment like one of our shops, these last.
After Electrolux bought them, they lost a lot of quality. This one is original - early 90's, I think from the condition of the electrical cables. Always a weak point on all power nozzles after 30 years or so.
They were originally designed to clean airplanes my grandmother had one
Any eureka, or Kirby belt will work for them just fine. I prefer Kirby as they last longer. Bags are still made through envirocare and are a dime a dozen on eBay here in the states for fairly cheap.
I laughed with tears in my eyes when the lid fell.
late 90's as the fliter used to be different. Was larger and was 1200$ usd bought from door to door
Excellent buy for 35 pounds. I've never used one. Was it as loud as it sounded in the video?
What is 35 in American money??????
@@yolandagomez4979 Goo-goo-google it!
looks to be in great shape the outside is made with the same material as the nasa shuttle
You shouldn't have cut the paper filter; it fits on top of the cloth filter very well. I know it's little bigger but it will do the work. I think the belt is okay as it is rotating the roller brush freely. I think the strange noise is due to the paper filter, it's not in place.
35 pounds, did you say? That's an excellent deal.
That is the same shape from the 40s when it was called the revelation 😊
I been looking for a TriStar CXL 50th anniversary edition vacuum cleaner for years and i been looking on eBay and i can't find one
original filter contraption had three carbon filters with a 6" hepa surrounding them all inside a plastic that's almost twice the size of yours...
Classic design. Look up "Compact". I think the design dates from the 1960's if not earlier
The "compact" was designed in 1937 and produced by Howard Hughes company "Interstate" to clean airplanes..
When are you getting the Dyson V10 in for testing?
I'm not.
ibaisaic that sucks. So much buzz for that vac. You should be the first person they send one to for review.
I don't have enough subscribers I think. Dyson decided to send loads out to RUclipsrs with lots of subs but no vacuum experience. I did ask them for a sample, but they didn't respond.
Odd that the won't send one to you to review. Dyson sent them out to tech reviewers (computers, mobile phones, etc) to review in the US. It was obvious that these young millennial had little interest in vacuums and were doing it because Dyson paid them for the reviews. One review was all of 3 minutes.
I sold these machines in California for about 10 yrs they’re made in Anaheim
I actually sold those. They were great’
I do prefer an Aerus to a TriStar. Both are built well but the TriStar would serve as a great boat anchor.
I think it could do with a set of bunny ears on top of the bag door to match it's tail.
best vacuum ever made
Omg that is the strangest weirdest machine ever and what was that extra bit on the end couldn’t stop laughing 😂
I need the metal ring that holds locks in the hepa filter
Actually roger the wands are supposed to have that notch sticking out that you thought was damage. It is to allow easy assembly of the wands without pushing the button manually. The power head cord you can find on eBay cheap. Bags and all parts are plentiful and honestly these machines are work horses that are cheap to maintain and quite powerful.
Also, you will find the machine is more powerful if you remove the “butt plug” filter. For some reason those filters restrict the airflow quite a bit. Kirby belts are a perfect replacement belt for these powerheads. They are a timeless machine here stateside. They are powerful, very capable cleaners and will give most modern cleaners a run for their money. Get creative and try different power nozzles. They work amazingly well with a sebo ET-1 power nozzle. These old beauty’s are becoming more and more rare. The new models are not near as powerful.
I've got one identical the only thing that's different is the white filter. I believe I bought it in the 70s. If I remember correctly I paid $700.
What did you pay in American money?
It cost me £35 which is about 48 Dollars at today’s exchange rate.
Isn’t this very similar to the Pinnock Premier??
The same machine !!!!
Hi plz can you do a vid on your Henry cordless
I need it my paw has one but it dose not work 😢 and it is destroyed The motor filter was gorilla glued on the lid broke off it’s dirty just it’s missing the hose and all the attachments
I have a vacuum cleaner like a TriStar but its a ghibli vortech force vacuum cleaner
They were expensive like Kirby's rainbow filter Queen
yes they are a american company that started in 1991 my mother used to have a tri star sweeper and they are very good sweepers but they are verry heavy.
btw there still making em today
They are still made and are now owned by Aerus. Still made in USA. Sorry about your thumb. It did the same thing to me once. I'll never forget it because I still feel it on damp days.
The main unit still looks the same but the new powernozzle is the same as the Aerus. They will last a lifetime.
I used to sell these machines. The TriStar is an American product (remember reading the labels ;-) ). The first two digits don't necessarily indicate the age. I bought mine brand new in 1998 for $1,200 (about $2K in 2018) and the serial # begins "94..." You almost received one of the best vacuum cleaners ever made. I'm not saying that from a biased point of view. I spent a lot of time (way too much time) testing this machine against others. Except for the whiny complain I heard from people that it's a canister, I've never seen any machine clean better. To those who prefer an upright, I say "clean your car interior with both and get back to me." The reason I say "almost" is because the Turbo Brush you received is from an older CXL model. The DXL is the last model produced before it was completely redesigned for the 1999 release. The DXL Turbo Brush was equipped with a cog belt that never slips and a small circuit board that would shut off the motor if something got caught in the roller. I've used my TriStar like a rented mule for 20 years and it still performs like new! I've never replaced the belt in the Turbo Brush.
It is cyclonic Roger I think. As far as I know it's an open bag and the dirt is pushed to the sides like the cyclones in a bagless to keep the airflow strong. But I could be wrong :) It's a very solid cleaner though
I like them too. What is the suction and airflow like?
Mark, the TriStar is NOT cyclonic at all. They claim that they are, & the dirt swirls around & falls to the front of the bag, but that's utter rubbish. Look at where the hose intake is, then look at where the dirt falls in the bag, & it's plainly obvious the dirt simply drops there, nothing cyclonic about it at all! Just marketing BS.
Haha fair enough :)
It is cyclonic if you use the proper cloth bag and the disposable paper bag.. Many idiotic people use either the cloth bag alone or the paper...
@@2711marcus You can upgrade the motor.. It is a standard "Amteck" motor and you can purchase a decent 9 amp version to gain more suction. The original vacuum in 1937 had a 500 watt motor.
We have those in America except they’re very old I have a few but I do not like them And that second tube isn’t damaged it’s been like that so you can just push the hose on and not push the button first
Use hot glue around the wire it will hold it firmly in place I did it to my vacuum and it is more safe
Rodger I say I say I have a brand new try star 💫 un used from my Nan
cord was originally white
❤️💙
With that weird 'carbuncle' on, it reminds me of one of those grey cardboard type urine bottles you get in hospital for hardbound patients.
Lmao I watched that and was going buy that when I got off duty 3 hours later, I wondered who bought it ...
Scott Donaldson I have one for sale.. in same condition..
This is the vacuum my grandma and mom both own/ed, and I've always hated it. Thought it was hideous and weird looking, and more importantly, it always smells weird after using. Even right after changing the bag and filter.
This model is 1993 to 1998.
The other vacuum cleaner is a filter queen
I tore this machine totally open to replace the motor don't leave outside in the rain it will rust from within
go too 12.11 its the best part of the vid...lmao
this is from someware from 1993-1998
