The only one I know of is the old style Electrolux hose. I don't recommend a wire reinforced hose though, they are much heavier, less internally aerodynamic, the internal hose diameter is only 1 1/4inch, whereas the newer hoses, although all with gas pump handles, are 1 3/8. The difference is...

Parker, you say? How come we have never met???????

Its more of a knockoff of the Miele combines with the previous line of Tacony canisters. Not bad machines, but not anything like a Tri-Star.

I guess to me, what it all comes down to is how much picking around do I feel like doing. I'm not one of those who dislikes bagless machines because they are modern or plastic. There was a point in my life when I actually thought the idea of a bagless machine was superior to a bag! I know, I...

The loss of suction in the pipe system should be absolutely none, airflow loss is very minimal, as the pipe is smooth inside, and if the proper fittings are used, the bends are too. But to me the elaborate plumbing system is part of the draw of a central vac me anyway... But I've put both the...

My current unit is a Riccar RPU-C10. I have a thing for machines with two motors in parallel, I think this offers the best end of hose performance. Although honestly, I've seen and used lots of units that didn't have any more power than a very powerful portable machine, such as a Tri-Star or my...

Your 50th machine is a Cassic, well my first vacuum ever was a Classic! A machine of significance to me too!

Well, with Bissell being so committed in their current commercial endeavors, I can't see them doing anything worse than Eureka may have done... Either it will remain about the same, or maybe improve. Personally I don't see any deaths imminent here.

Alex Braun might even have this all memorized, I swear someone stuck a hard drive in his brain...

Tevis Campbell Intervac with Dust Bubble?? Well I have no idea what we're talking about, but you have my undivided attention on this one! 

I really need to get my hands on one of these Eurekas with the rubber cap in the hood. I almost had one, but it was in rough shape, and someone with a severe sense of entitlement greedily grabbed it from me. Looking back I should have put my foot down, but at the time I simply didn't feel like...

OOOHHHHH A Pullman (White) Holt I have a newer version of that machine. When I think of a "shop vac" this is what I think of, as I use these for that purpose. I think the average Shop Vac and its competitors tend to be too lacking in suction and build quality!

Agree with everything above, see this all the time at work!

I've got one of these! I really love the Royals in this blue color myself!

This is a trend out here in CO! A depressing one, but they seem to think they have something really special when they come across a Kirby to price...

Do you have any central vac related items?

I would really like to have the yellow Air-Way with the Don Clark P/N that I brought out all those years ago...

Of course bagged vacuums are inherently better at filtration! All of the machines that are truly certified HEPA, other than the Rainbow, use bags. Bags make it simpler to force all of the dirty air through the filter material. They also lend towards a simpler and more direct air path, which...

Yes, the black one has a cord winder, I have the black machine in my collection!

It’s always worth waiting for the right proposition with these things...
