I've had a VacuFlo 566Q for 10 years now and I can't say enough great things about it! Not only is it quiet but it has amazing power! I upgraded from the horrible 14 inch Lindhaus power nozzle to the Riccar/Centec power nozzle and hose last year and it cleans amazingly well. The Riccar nozzle...

Scott, I don't know if this is feasible or what it would cost, but could you possibly move any of your inlets? I know it requires some work and might not be possible, but wouldn't it make more sense in the long run? Then you can utilize all the benefits of the system you already have and not...

How long is your electric hose? When I installed my VacuFlo 566Q almost 10 years ago the longest electric hose available was 30 feet, now they come in 35 feet. I know it doesn't seem like much but those 5 extra feet do come in handy. I have direct connect inlets with my system and now have the...

Parunner58 Are these prices you received to have someone install the central vacuum or just for the unit itself? I installed my VacuFlo myself, I have a split level colonial and it was fairly easy. I have 4 inlets, one inlet per floor does the trick for me, and I have no issues with using a 30...

VacuFlo I have a VacuFlo 566Q that I put in about 8 years ago. I have 4 direct connect electric inlets, an electrified hose with Lindhaus power nozzle, as well as the non electric turbo grip hose with the TubroCat Zoom kit. It's one of the best things I've ever bought, I absolutely love it...

Congratulations to both Dan's on your new machines!! They look amazing and I really love that shade of blue! I'm looking forward to hearing more about them after they are put through the paces. I'm curious to know how long the cord is? The long hose looks fabulous and I like that it only...

@simplemind That Electrolux floor tool you remember that your mother had is still in production today, it's still included with the TOL Aerus Electrolux canister. It's a reversible tool so it can be used on bare floors with the bristles or flipped over and used as a straight suction tool on...

My vote is for the Diamond Edition. I've had a Heritage 2 Legend, Legend 2, G4, and currently have an Ultimate G and Ultimate G Diamond Edition. I'm not crazy about the light gray color scheme but the Diamond Edition looks much nicer than the Ultimate G. The 2 speed switch is a wonderful...

I have the Hoover Lynx cordless and we love it. My sister loved it so much she even bought one for her apartment even though she already has a regular Electrolux tank, and she really couldn't care less about vacuums. The Lynx is great for quick pick ups and bare floors and its revolving brush...

I love the new color scheme of the new Kirby Avalir!! It's beautiful in my eyes and I'd love to have one! I really do wish they would bring back the 2 speed switch like my on Diamond Edition. I love that I can vacuum wall to wall carpet and then switch to low to deep clean the small door mat...

I have had a VacuFlo 566Q for more than 7 years now and I love it! I actually bought it from Charlie's (vacman1961) vacuum store. I only empty the bin about every 5-6 months but when I empty the bin I simply vacuum the screen in the unit with another vacuum. My house is almost entirely bare...

Contact eBay right away! I bought an Aerus Guardian a few years ago from a seller who claimed the machine was like new, had a new HEPA filter, and had been cleaned and inspected. The machine was not even close to what he claimed and it didn't look like the one that was pictured in the auction...

Buy the Wessel-Werks nozzle or take a look at the TOL Simplicity/Riccar power nozzle. I have the Lindhaus/Stealth power nozzle and while it's built very well, it's performance leaves a lot to be desired! If the brush roller had two rows of brushes it would probably clean much better but overall...

George, the store on Commack Rd is the only one I've ever been to. I was born and raised in Commack, still live here, and that Electrolux branch has been there for as long as I can possibly remember. I know there was another location in West Islip on Montauk Highway by the Robert Moses PKWY...

Charcoal filters Has anyone tried those new charcoal pre-motor filters yet? I too saw them listed on the Aerus website and I thought I would pick up a pack for my Renaissance at my Lux dealer when I was there to buy some after filters. When I asked the about these filters the lady looked at me...

I'm so glad this thread was started as I too am very interested in the TOL Riccar/Simplicity canister, but I prefer the color of the Gusto over the Riccar. However there really hasn't been much discussion about these machines on the forum. I'm curious to know more about these vacuums, especially...

I had they same grey 6500SR for many years that I bought from a Kirby dealer from his trade ins. I think I paid less the $100 for the both a 6500 and matching 3500SR upright, both in excellent cosmetic condition. The upright was mechanically perfect but the canister was another story. I don't...

I have a VacuFlo 566Q in my house that I installed myself about 7 years ago and I love it! I bought my unit from Charlie "vacman1961" when he had his shop. He highly recommended the unit and after years of use I can't imagine not having a central vac, they are powerful, versatile, and you can...

They have done the same change where I work as well. We used to have 3 ProLux uprights, they asked for a new machine when one needed service and received a Cirrus in return. The first Cirrus worked great for a few months and now it's worthy of being in the dumpster. We received a second Cirrus...

I purchased a generic Lux hose about 7 years ago for my Diamond Jubilee from ESSCO, which looks very much like the genuine hose. It doesn't swivel nearly as well, is not made with anything close to the same quality of materials as the lux hose, and not only does it not swivel as we'll but the...
