i have a newer tri star (grey hammertone finish) just the canister no attachments. my friend who owns a vac + sewing machine shop (who loves compacts) about flew out of his seat when i asked if he would trade me a filter queen for my tri star, he showed me a couple filter queens, one has a clear bottom, i guess for demo pourposes, the one i like is a pinkish color, with a cord retractor, i like the looks of the filter queen (even though i am a diehard kirby guy!) should i go for it?

I would say that the tri-star is a better built machine that does clean better than the filter queen, but I love filter queen as well. If it is a newer tri-star then I would trade (newer meaning exl through the current model) If it was the older ones(silver bullet dxl or older) then I would keep the tri-star.

my tri star is a DLX, i think i will trade for the filter queen because i still have my moms old compact C5-PB 24th anniversary edition, (i even have the trunk that it came in!) so a filter queen good addition to my collection. now i was wondering does the filter queen have metal attachments? and did they ever have the cloth over rubber type hoses? these filter queens are growing on me i like the looks of them alot! i hope my kirbys will forgive me!

my friend told me the clear bottom was for demonstration purposes, so i guess the demo models had them. i think he will give me 2 canisters, (one looks like a 33 the other one is older with the clear bottom) and one set of attachments + hose. what i need to know is what type of hose did these come with? also did these have the power nozzle? and what attachments did they come with? i hope they are the metal kind!
