Hyla NST is not the latest model, the GST is. However, if you got a lightly used NST for 90 dollars, that's a STEAL!
Not sure they are as well built as Rainbow, from what I hear they aren't - but they are just as expensive. Supposedly the separator is self-cleaning; not sure how that's possible, but who knows. Can you put a wet q-tip in the separator and see if there is any dirt on it? There are a couple of people here who own them so I'm sure they will chime in. |

I wonder how it keeps the seperator clean? My rainbow seperator gets a little dusty but nothing really bad. I did take it off the machine when I first got it & let it soak in the sink with bleach water for a couple hours, but it has never gotten filthy like scrubbing it. Since reading this post I was wondering about the Hyla because I remember back in the late 1995 I saw one at the vacuum shop sitting on the counter, it was on but I didn't pay that much attention to it as I thought it was a cheap knock off to compete with the Rainbows. Euro-pro made a machine like it called the Shark bagless water filteration vacuum. I found it in the spring & summer JCP catalog 2004. It looks just like the Hyla without the electric hose & power nozzle for original $249.99; now $199.99. Mark

I am not sure how the NST works but on my GST,the water coming in forms a water GEYSER (the name GST=Geyser System Technology) that cleans the separator during operation. |
