Look at what happened to Hoover, Eureka, Electrolux, etc. They all went to China & most of them aren't the same quality as back when they were USA made. I should've bought a Royal or Kirby instead of the Tristar MG3. Hope the new Tristar lasts as long as my old Tristar CXL & 23rd Anniv. Compact did.
Ive learned over the years to research and ask as many questions as poss,..consumer feedback/forums ect. with time u may grow to like it.
