It was mentioned here in reference to different sized filters for the MGx series motors compared to the older models: CLICK HERE TO GO TO twocvbloke's LINK |

i would to give my MG2 more airflow but i've never switched out a motor before what should i look for to make sure the motor would fit correctly?
Back on topic though go with the older model i have a CXL and an MG2 in terms of airflow it's no contest the MG2 pulls a 1.5/10 on my baird meter and if i recall my tristar pulls about a 5.5/10. The power nozzle on the MG2 i feel cleans a bit better however i like to pair mine with a Eureka VG3 or Wessell Werk nozzle then the MG2 cannot touch it. I would just go with the older model the tools are much better, the machine itself is less problematic and packs more of a punch |

I have both CXL and MG2 models and I like them both. I think they are both very powerfull machines....But do like the attachments and wands on the CXL model better then the MG2 model better..... Dan |

Here's a better pic of my TriStar that my parents bought new. Now I have a better camera to take good pics instead of the cell phone's camera, which its pics are too small or blurry. |

not interchangable . The newest Aerus Guardian Ultra attachments will fit Tristar .
I own a Tristar MG2 and I think it is very well made and powerful . I own a NIB DXL with the newer black plastic power nozzzle . I prefer the MG2`s power nozzle over the DXL`s . The plastic wands are wider and allow more airflow which we all know what that transfers to . |

I have both a Compact C9 & a TriStar CS; but I use the CS more because it's more user friendly
I had the CS motor upgraded to the Ametek 115923 high-performance motor & the CS outcleaned the C9 Compact However I still use the Electrolux 2100 more because the PN 1692 has headlight; & I've put axles on the rear wheels to disable the 'floating' feature, so it'll groom the carpet better The CS gets used on the main level; & the C9 gets used on the upstairs But I use the 2100 on both levels |

I wonder why it outperformed with a high performance motor. The original motors were crap. If you try to order one it's not oem it's a replacement because basically the motor had issues.
Stock vs stock there is no contest. The do sell oem stock replacement motors for compacts. If you put a high performance motor in a compact with a wessell werk ebk 360 with hose of your choice(since we're modding vacuums), it will beat exl every day of the week and twice on Sunday. The best it every day comment is if you add 25 percent more powerful motors in both is the backing up my statement without sounding like an idiot. I'll engage you but other homer posters are just trolling. |
