Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Is this true about high-end vacs being made in China?  I recently bought a new TriStar MG3 vac (NO, I didn't trade in my old CXL) & the data sticker says "MADE IN CHINA"  I guess this really is the end of Tristar?  Or did the end of TriStar happen when the EXL came out?

here's a pic of my new Tristar.  I paid $820.00 (includes MiniStar power brush & extra filters/bags)  Will the HEPA motor filter fit the MG Series?
