I removed the hepa filter cartridge material and replaced it with new hepa filter material. I had found 3 large hepa filters for some large equipment at Goodwill. Sealed and easy to cut apart. Used a sealant to prevent blow around. |

I just keep waiting for the customer at the Greenville Sew & vac to get rid of hers-but at that point the machine may be too worn out to consider.Parts for them at hard to get. |

I've always thought they were interesting too! Kinda rare beasts though. I believed they were rebadged machines, Oreck did not actually make them did they? Cameron |

The canister part was made in the Netherlands by Dutch appliance giant Philips. If you google “Philips Oslo vacuum” or “stofzuiger Philips Oslo” you will see the identical cleaner minus the power nozzle.
It was actually tested by Consumer Reports when it appeared on the North American market, and it did very well, if I remember correctly. Europe always knew how to make a quiet, powerful canister/cylinder vac. |
