I have the tristar dxl and I never had the power nozel that goes with it. I was wondering if its worth paying the $100 i see in ebay used or go with any other power head u guys recommend.

You wanted it it would be there. Get a weseell werk ebk 360 about $160. It's the best power nozzle period. If not get an eureka power nozzle for $40. It's like the original

For Originality only the factory will do .Now you can make your tristar cxl dxl C8 C9 a supercharge cleaning monster with the vibra groomer 2 or 3 brushroller ./ orrrr you can do a resto mod and go Werveck german pn ebk 360 your choice both are good .But personally my tristar cxl 50 and Compact electra interstate both run there factory bushroll and pn .

Take the original but $100 is what the vacuum runs with the power head.

Yes

It will fit I'm attaching a link to the cheapest I could find. The handle should plug into the handle of your handle.
It's the best power nozzle on the best canister. It's a beast and you'll love it.

Dont think hose will fit the tristar you have  youd need a adpter to insert hose in weslverk wand and a pig tail.

Wessell werk attaches to TriStar hose perfectly. You need a pig tail on the wand to the wessell week because of an inch gap.
The wessell werk is retractable and a pigtail may not be needed.
I'd do the wessell werk. The TriStar are good but wessell werk is freaking awesome. It's worth the money.

No it did not ..not on my setup .
It will not fit ...the wessel wand does not fit on the gun of the hose of the tristar. Someone said i needed the long neck ph. Not sure , but I have tried multiple times.

Maybe I got the wrong hose or wessel

I saw your other thread too before you sell this off I think you can make this work.

That nozzle and wand will not be compatible with the stock hose since they are a direct connect type rather than a pigtail (having a cord)

So what you appear to have gotten seems to be for adding a power nozzle to backpack vacuums, the good news here is that this appears to be a wessel werk retrofit hose which should be able to be converted to use with your tristar.


First you'll need to change the machine end on the black hose. That piece circled in red should be able to disconnect from the hose it should just be held in via friction if you get that off you'll want to get this part in the link it will just pop into place when inserted and you'll be able to plug the black hose into the tristar.
As for the electrical connection you should be able to disconnect it at the green arrow to get a 2 pin connector, now i'm not sure if it's long enough to make the distance to the power nozzle plug on the body of the machine, as it looks rather short in the photo, but if it's not there's no need to worry these too are replaceable


If you take these steps and convert the hose you'll find it far more convenient as you'll have an on/off switch for the power nozzle at your fingertips enabling you to more easily clean hard floors

If you need further assistance or are having a hard time I can provide a video walkthrough on this as I have two hoses around that are very similar to yours

overlooked this

Hmm looking closer it almost appears the electrical cord is like melded together so it would require replacement and in scouring ebay for the part it appears you have already listed your set for sale so perhaps too late for advice

Well I did find a pigtail that should fit between the hose and machine body it may be a little long but I didn't think the 11" versions would be long enough
