These two videos show which has what. The first Progressive I can easily tell has a Panasonic motor and the second Progressive I can easily tell has a Ametek motor, I definitely like the Ametek one better. Same goes between the other two Kenmores as well. I also agree they were great choices for...

This is certainly something new I just learned on here. I didn't know Numatic had Panasonic motors in the past, I knew Dyson did. That's because I never really paid too much attention to Numatic since canisters aren't my taste. I always thought they used Ametek motors until I did some digging...

I'd open it up to take pictures to confirm that it's legit. Now one thing I'm willing to bet is that because it sat in the box for many years, the bearings are dry so that would decrease the value. When I watched a YouTube video of someone buying a NIB Concept, it didn't sounded very healthy.

The Cen-Tec CT14DX that was made by Panasonic under the VacuMaid brand.

Unlike most uprights, I really like that Kirbys never tip over when you're using the hose.

Like you, I'm not into cordless stick vacs either. I like the Dyson V8 I use at work but I rarely use mine at home. In fact, when mine dies, I won't be getting another one. That being said, I'd say this Black & Decker DustBuster CFV1200 would be my all time favorite. I've never owned it before...

I remember that system! It was from one of your blogs online I've read years ago, should've been called "Not So Silent Partner by VacuMaid".

Very cool, thanks for sharing! If I really wanted a split system, I'd rather get a bagged MD with a cyclonic separator like this for example by Pittsburg Central Vacuum. I've seen some dealers put in three different VacuMaid units like this for example by Ford's VacuMaid, I think that's too much...

Everyone definitely has different tastes, I even have a friend who likes Shark better than SEBO or anything else she's ever used for her realtor business. When we were having a friendly discussion one day, she thought I didn't knew what I was talking about with vacuums until I showed her...

The Vacuflo 960 has since been discontinued, so is the CycloVac 7515 but they do make a 7525 today. From your list, I'd recommend the CycloVac. You'd have the option of having it either in parallel or series, can be used as bagged, ton of power, and one of the quietest central vacs I've ever...

You can also get an extension hose for the FELIX. Also with the brushroll shut off, I don't need to worry about the brushroll spinning on the carpets while using the hose. From experience it's much easier taking the brushroll out than taking out the brushstrip. When it comes to servicing, taking...

I never noticed the weight issue being a big deal, yes there is a difference I will say that but it's not that alarming to me. I don't think you've watched the video but it does in fact have a mounting clip to store two attachments on. As for falling over, well both the G and MECHANICAL models...

From your list, definitely the SEBO FELIX. One of if not the best upright designs I've ever seen.

I've found that the foot pedal switch on the G4 tech drive to be more reliable than the G5 and newer models. I also like the brushrolls they used that makes sweeping up better. They can easily be fitted a metal fan for more power. And they used phillip screws unlike torx. Personally this is just...

I might if I did a service call, but I haven't even met the new neighbors yet who bought that place a few years ago. They're not the only ones with a split system, I've got a few more in my neighborhood at least from what I've seen. Two are VacuMaid and one is a AstroVac, they're all single motor.
