    Adding Sound Insulation to Central Vacuum Motor?

    I hate being a wet blanket (well sometimes, but not trying to be here) but in all honesty, if you wanted a quiet unit, this one will likely never be able to meet your wants there. Also, this thing will get much louder over time, as these don’t use a filter, it’s a “true cyclonic” unit and all of...

    Did your friends/family love uprights and dislike canisters or vice versa?

    We had a canister when I was little. Mom and dad preferred the canister’s flexibility over an upright. Dad grew up with a central vac, grandma always had one during my life. My mom’s mother always had an upright and a shop vac. They use the shop vac like a canister, never understood why not just...

    Hoover Duster

    Which vault? There are simply so many, I’ve by no means seen them all, but once I gain some curiosity I tend to have little trouble finding out what’s inside. I too am a friend of the Oompa Loompas, and I can tell you, the biggest secret is: Mr Wonka has no secrets.

    Who cares what’s in the cards... It’s all about what keys you have in your hand.

    I’d love to find one someday too. And Denver might have one waiting for me somewhere!!

    Adding Sound Insulation to Central Vacuum Motor?

    But in all honesty this will never be a terribly quiet machine, and the motor may also be louder than is should be if the motor fans have a lot of filth in them, which is extremely common on these VacuMaids.

    Adding Sound Insulation to Central Vacuum Motor?

    You can line the inside of the motor section of the can with sound insulation. But two things, don’t put any on the motor itself, and DO NOT block the vents in any way! That motor gets hot and you don’t want to be keeping the heat inside there.

    I will agree to this. From now on I will refrain from interacting with John in any way on the public forums.

    John, you know what hurts me so much And I have it on good authority (basically everyone who I’ve talked to that’s had much to do with you says you said this to them) when you tell people that Tom killed Austin. When we all know it was a suicide. Old tragedy, yes, but you still repeat this...

    I’m damn near certain the police and attorneys don’t care about these forum posts. And assume any of the rest of this is even happening to you, it’s coming from somewhere other than me. I may be one of only a couple who have the gall to confront you publicly on here, but I’m by no means the...

    I don’t know what all you’re talking about. I don’t recall posting anything about religious groups or altered photos here. If all this is happening to you, I don’t know what to say. But I do know that you’ve stirred more than your fair share of the pot, and made many, many unwanted and barely on...

    For someone who seems to absolutely THRIVE on butting into other people’s business, you sure don’t like it when I do it to you!! Maybe you shouldn’t do it to others??

    That’s right “John” I actually know the reason you’re ignoring his emails and not selling him the vacuum. And if Karl does email me, I WILL be telling him. You wanna come on here and make it out like it’s all my fault, well, don’t expect it to go how you want.

    John, I truly do hope Karl takes it up with me, if he does, I’ll tell him the real reason you’re not selling it to him!! Karl, feel free to send me an email, [email protected].

    Oh John, if you had even the slightest intention of selling him that machine, no snarky comment from me would change a damn thing! I’m laughing so hard right now it’s not even funny!!

    Damage from using it as a blower

    I only really use my Kirby’s as uprights, mostly because I am just so much more inclined to use an upright, then just use a suction only hose on the central for all the tool use rather than bothering with the upright tools. As to the Kirby burning out, I was under the impression it wasn’t the...

    Damage from using it as a blower

    It’s not common, but have have seen both a Kirby fan and a couple others deform like that. I wasn’t able to tell on the Kirby but I got the sense they used it heavily with the hose, the other machines I saw this in were run clogged for an extended period of time. I had no idea using the blower...
