I had a call on Wednesday from Tania, she spotted a like new Tristar at a pawn shop close to my house. Of course she called and first asked, "if you want it Morgan it is there, if you don't I would love to have it". Friday morning I headed over to inspect the vacuum. She was right, it was used very little. The original filter on the blower port was hardly even discolored. Here are some pics.

Morgan,
You ARE telling the truth. I think she can SMELL good vacuums out and spot one in a second. Nice find.

Rob,

I don't know how she does it...but I remember a time we were with a group and went to a home in Chicago where the basement was full of vacuums...I was scared to death..it was a fire trap. The next thing I knew, we could see Tania's feet underneath the stair case...yelling ...I found it! I found it! A new Filter Queen in the box...none of the rest of us were brave enough..LOL

Milwaukee is only about 3.5 or 4 hours from Dubuque and yet she sniffed it out. Not a bad deal, $149.95 for the newest model Tri-Star. It is missing the upholstery tool and it didn't have the mini power nozzle.

Miss Tania...

Morgan,it is true that girl and spot or sniff out a vac like crazy.When we went to Fort Wayne,to thrift for vac's it was fun just to watch her.The girl has ESP for finding the good vac's.
What a fun find for you.You can find a new uphostery brush from your dealership.
Enjoy your new find.
Michael

Well,

The vacuum arrived today at 4 pm and by 5 pm Tania called me, she had all ready vacuumed the entire house. She was like a little child at Christmas...so glad I could help her get this vacuum. Tania is a special Lady!
