Just throwing this out there so those not familiar with Miracle Mate can get a look-see . . . |

I've had a Miracle Mate and Vortech Force. The Miracle Mate is quite heavy. For the most part I liked both machines but what I did not like about them (as well as the Compact, Tristar, Patriot, etc.) is that the way the hose is made/positioned, it extends the length of the machine quite a bit so maneuvering in tight quarters is difficult.

Hi Venson,
It has been awhile since I've had the Vortech but I don't recall it having a HEPA in the bag compartment but then I don't remember a lot of things these days LOL. I did buy it new. I don't have allergies so having a HEPA filter doesn't really make any difference to me. I did like that the Vortech had the separate non electrified hose - it was so much lighter than the electric hose and it had the regular handle instead of the pistol grip like on the electric hose.

Hey Gary, I will certainly put you on the list as part of the "Intelligence" posse. PS -- Couldn't find an image of the Vortech filter I mentioned but I'm posting a shot of the new model anyway. |

When I said Tristar has a good motor I meant to say,the older CXL's and DXL's. not the current Aerus owned models. |

Thanks for the links Gary. Especially for the power nozzle Vortech has taken on. Looks like Wessel Werk and Sebo have the PN source sewed up. Venson |

I think Compact/TriStar (IEC) Air Storm/Patriot, Miracle Mate, & Vortec Force were all designed by the same engineers? Or are they all affiliated together? |
