Hello, I am faced with a tough choice here for upgrading my central vacuum system. At the current moment I have a Budd 7811 unit that I absolutely love!! The unit has lasted for 40+ years and has never given up on me. Just recently I upgraded my power brush to a MD stealth and I am also in love...

I ended up buying a Stealth kit and I have never been happier!!!! I got it as a floor model for only $250!!! I tried it out this morning and I have never used a better vacuum head! My carpets and floors look new again!

@n0oxy Thank you for your valuable information! I had looked at the lit and in all honestly it really doesn’t look that nice. I’m really not super crazy about the blue and white powerhead color combo. And the hose doesn’t have the handle grip I like. I like the white hose and the gas pump...

Recently I have been in he market for a new power nozzle for my central vacuum. After shopping around for a while I feel that the Stealth from MD may suit my needs well. Does anyone own one? What are some of the benefits and some of the disadvantages you have experienced with them? Thank you all...

Hello all! I just read through all be comments and I just have to say thank you all so much for how helpful you all have been!!! In regards to the symplicity and Sebo power heads. I have had one before and unfortunately I have not had a good past with them. I completely agree!! They are very...

@luxflairguy Thank you so much for all that information! Although I am aware that the Bird units may be obsolete and lould (jet engine lould) I would truly buy another Buds vacuum if I could. I absolutely love my Budd System. I have had it for nearly 35 years and it has never failed me. The only...

How is the cleaning power and performance?

Hello, recently I have been looking to replace my old central vacuum system. After hours of shopping and searching, I spotted the Beam Q power team. I really like the look of the machine and the design looks very nice. I really cant find any in depth reviews about the unit, and I don't want to...

I have a relatively new wire reinforced hose. I like it much better than the crushproof hoses. I have tried the larger crushproof hoses and I dint like it!

@luxflairguy, thank you so much for all that information! I really appreciate it. I actually have looked into purchasing a hose that has a larger diamiter, than my old one. But what I have noticed is that the newer hoses that are larget have a different end. That means that if I were to upgrade...

yes true it does tend to get very hot! But will that cause any major damage to the machine?

personally, I really dont like the bagged central vacuums. They tend to be more expensive, and opperate at higher costs. With my vavuum, its completely free to own. I dont have to worry about buying bags or filters! With me I just unlatch the bucket dump it out and thats it! I dont need to...

ok so I need your help. I dont know if I mentoned this before but the Budd system that I installed in my home, is only set up for the first floor. Until now I didnt know how to set it up for the second floor. So I have two options. I either can somehow run the pipe up from the basement to the...

I actually dont mind the bag less central vacuum. I empty it outside and as long as you do it carefully you barley kick up any dust. And on top of that I dont have to spend money on bags!

In my beach house, I have a total of 7 inlets on the first floor of my other home, and 6 on the second floor. Making a total of 13 inlets!!! Same thing, the unit turns on when I lift the inlet door. I needed the most powerful unit they had, which was I believe the Budd 9911 power unit. The hose...

The hose does not have a switch on the handle. But instead it has a nice feature. If you lift the inlet, the unit starts right away. But if for some reason you need to stop vacuuming you can just lift the inlet all the way up and it will just stop! But yes, being a nonstandard company, it is a...

Budd central vac I have a Budd central vacuum system. I installed it in my hone about a year ago. One key difference is that they use the 1 1/4 inlet, same a some Kenmore. So it has different hose than most standard systems. Also a key difference is that the unit turns on when the inlet door is...
