museum The museum is an awesome place to visit. I always look forward to the convention every year, it's one of those places you would never get tired of going to. For a vacuum collector it is paradise. Mike

Keurigs I don't drink coffee though I know you can get other things in Keurig cups such as hot chocolate. I don't think I would get one for a couple reasons. First, I've heard that some of the plastic from the Keurig cups gets in to the drinks and of course that's not good. Whether or not that...

Aerus classic These are great machines, I do wish they would have stayed with the two stage motor though. It doesn't have things like speed control but that's fine, less things to fail. It's a cleaner with a great design that has stood the test of time. Mike

I know a lot of us collect other appliances besides vacuums. I'm not sure if anyone on here collects coffee machines but if so, you will probably like this youtube channel. He does other reviews as well but a lot of his videos relate to lots of different coffee machines, including lots of the...

congratulations Central vacuums are great, I'd say you chose a good power unit and a good power nozzle. While you could vent the unit outside, that unit has very good filtration, there's no need to put another hole in your wall, you would really gain no benefit by venting it outside. Since I...

love the sound Love the sound of the motor on that youtube video, between an "E" and E flat. Definitely a two stage motor, what a contrast between that and the high pitch screaming sound of most vacuum motors today. I like the sound of those older motors much better. So each cleaner in the 16...

hoses It should be possible to swap those vacuflo proprietary valves for standard ones, then a hose with a cord could be used. I store my hose behind my couch, it fits nicely back there, it's not a big deal to pull out and put away. Bagless central vacuums are just nasty, there's no other way...

motor and sound I would love to see one of these, I wonder what motor they used and what the sound was like. I have some idea since I've heard other motors of that time, I've heard the power team that Eureka made in 1972, I wonder if it was similar to that. It was an "f" note, that's the pitch...

love central vacuums If you have the walls open anyway, I would absolutely suggest installing the piping. Central vacuums are great, I use all of mine without pipes, attach a hose directly to them and the cleaning power you have is amazing. I agree with Owen, I also love my canister and...

go with the Sebo Felix I totally agree with Rob on this one. I think the Sebo Felix is probably the best upright vacuum you can get. I would also suggest the Felix over the Dart, the Dart does not have as many features and is more designed for the commercial market I think. The Felix is one of...

difference between CXL and DXL I bought a beautiful Tristar DXL earlier this year at the vacuum collector's convention, it's in perfect shape, love that cleaner. In my opinion that was the last decent Tristar, once Aerus bought Interstate Engineering their Tristar cleaners were not near as...

Sears and Titan vacuums I used to really enjoy visiting Sears stores in the 1980's, I was a kid back then but I used to love the appliance department. This was before my time but if there was a such thing as a time machine, I would love to transport myself back to around 1972 or 1973 and visit...

great cleaner That is a great canister vacuum. I have one as well. Looks very similar to the current model Aerus classic but uses a two stage motor. As far as I know, the models such as the 2100, diplomat, and ambassador were very similar. A great design that works very well. I think your mom...

I'd go for the classic I would definitely go for the classic. The Legacy hose end is nonstandard and so is the electrical connection. Or as has been mentioned, you could get the Perfect clone or the clean obsessed version, I think they are the same other than the color. A very nice canister...

mixing attachments and power nozzles Absolutely! I'm a big central vacuum person and many of those attachments and power nozzles are designed to work with standard central vacuum hoses, but I prefer to expand that to canister cleaners as well. I'm not really an upright person, canisters...

I was browsing the e vacuum store web site just to see if there were any new canister cleaners and I was surprised to find that they are selling the Filter Queen now. I doubt that anyone will pay the price they are asking, if you look at their canister vacuums page it's $3398. That's crazy and I...

getting an upright Actually a good power nozzle canister will clean carpets just as good as an upright. Many people choose to use an upright for carpet and a canister for cleaning everything else. Certainly there's nothing wrong with that, but a power nozzle canister will meet all of those...

great video Alex, great video. Audio was great. It was awesome getting to meet you at the convention since I've watched your channel for a few years. It was interesting running that Drainvac central vacuum using the transformer you brought, I think we probably pushed that to the max since all...

Sebo ET1 In my opinion the Sebo power nozzles are some of the best power nozzles available. The Lindhaus power nozzle is also very good, but Lindhaus is a much harder brand to purchase, just not a lot of places that sell them. the Miele SEB nozzles are rebranded Wessel-Werk nozzles. Mike

great convention The convention was great to say the least. I came back with two awesome machines, a brand new Titan T1400 and a beautiful Tristar DXL. Tom, did you say you took pictures of us using the Drainvac central vacuum unit? I still can't believe it changed the color of the cushions...
