I want to express just how fraudulent and deceptive the owners of west coast consultants LLC truly are in every possible way I was misled and lied to and I unknowingly spent over 3 weeks doing demonstrations for customers after agreeing to do 60 demos a month for a salary of 2050.00 I was not paid for anything they have devised a way to hire in mass amounts 30 or so young people and then challenge them to sell 3 over the weekend and told they will win a trip to Hawaii or a dinner with a millionaire if they can only sell 2 but this company has a business license to train and hire salesman but once "trained" I realized how I was participating in a scam on a massive scale and my family was the victim as well as my self they had me sign contracts and with all the fine print I soon found out that this was devised to ensure they would never have to pay any of the salesman regardless of the fact that I was not paid I want to express my deepest apologies to any and people I sold to or lied to by working for these horrible money hungry scam artists if anyone has had similar experiences and wants to pursue a class action lawsuit against them please do so I will do anything I can to help thanks and beware of any and all solicitors and any one looking for a job that sounds to good to be true take my word it is

I sold the TriStar MG8 model for a few months. I got out of it because I'm not a sales person, but I was thoroughly impressed with the machine. I did no-pressure demonstrations in homes where they had just had the carpets professionally cleaned, and pulled incredible amounts of pet hair and dirt out of the same carpets. The people were shocked! I did a demo for a friend who had just cleaned his carpet with another well-known, very expensive brand just before I got there, and I pulled multiple bags of pet hair out of his "clean" carpet as well. Another lady raised and sold expensive, rare cats from her home, and was looking for a vacuum that could clean not only cat hair from the furniture and carpets, but litter from the hard wood floors. Her Dyson, designed for pet cleanup, just wasn't doing the job. She vacuums her house every day to keep the possibility of disease down, yet the MG-8 was able to pull an amount of pet hair from the carpet that truly surprised her, and had no problem with the litter on the floor. The engineering of this machine is like nothing I've ever seen. There is absolutely no loss of suction or power because the air flow is over the top of the dirt in the bag, and it never clogs. The force of the air flow is so strong around the bag that you can put sand in it almost to the top, open the lid while it's on, and turn the whole machine upside down and not lose any sand! I loved doing that part of the demo because it blew me away every time I saw it. It's expensive, and they will negotiate, but at the same time, you won't find a machine that is as powerful and cleans the way that thing does. It was designed by aircraft engineers who designed the air filtration systems on jet aircraft. They had to run for hours in flight without clogging. We were so impressed with it, that my wife and I are still looking for one that we can afford to buy. There are always people who are going to be disappointed with the presentation, and even the product. But I can venture to say that all of those who are happy with the TriStar machines aren't going to be on blogs like this, and they way outnumber those with complaints. I discovered that the reason they do in-home demonstrations is because you have to see this thing work and understand the uniqueness of the design to appreciate what it is. If you saw it on a store shelf somewhere, you'd have no idea how to compare it to other machines. I don't sell them anymore, so I don't have a thing to gain by my comments, but I still want one. I truly believe they are the best vacuum on the market ... expensive ... but still the best.
