    Ridgid NXT Backpack Vacuum

    Given the fact that Proteam and Ridgid are both owned by Emerson Tool Company, it is no surprise that Ridgid would eventually have a backpack vacuum. To me, it looks like it is based off of the Proteam Super Coach Pro 6 backpack vacuum with a different tool set and a shorter cord at only 20...

    Kirby Here's Proof Book

    I seem to have no luck on eBay when it comes to finding the Here's Proof book for an Ultimate G Diamond Edition. Does anyone have suggestions as to what the magical phrase is to find them on eBay? I have searched everything I can possibly think of and I am not finding anything.

    Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition Transmission Question

    I have an absolutely immaculate Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition and the transmission is a little bit noisy when it is off and in neutral. I am thinking of just replacing the transmission because I know where I can get them brand new and cheap. My only question is that if I buy a new...

    VacuFlo Model 26 Circuit Board

    Hello everyone, I have been doing some planning to when the circuit board in my Model 26 finally bites the dust. The vacuum runs fine with no issues so I just was wondering how the rest of you managed to put in the newer circuit board from VacuFlo into this unit specifically with the low...

    Central Vacuum Mufflers

    I am wondering what everyone uses for a muffler on their central vacuum system and if anyone has a cherry bomb or glass pack muffler on their central vacuum system. If you could post pictures, that would be fantastic.

    Custom Central Vacuum Inlets

    This may sound like a waste of time but I was thinking about taking a normal Full-Door central vacuum inlet but by drilling a hole and installing a push-button switch that automatically turns on the vacuum as soon as the door to the valve is opened (kind of like Budd, Kenmore and Genuine Vacuflo...

    Does anyone have any PDF copies of Vacuflo brochures that include the Model 26 or brochures that they could scan? I have a Model 26 and I would love to track down the original brochures for the unit. Some brochures for the T21 power nozzle would also be helpful.

    I can't seem to find any pictures of these on Google Images. If anyone has an Aerus/Electrolux CentraLux central vacuum system, could you please post pictures of what your inlet valves look like. Specifically, if they say Electrolux on them.

    VacuFlo Model 26

    I'm new to the central vacuum scene and I have an old Vacuflo Model 26. The entire power unit including the motor compartment is metal. After I use the vacuum, the top dome which is above the motor is warm to the touch and the exhaust piping is warm to the touch. Is this normal or is it a sign...

    Improving VacuFlo Central Vac Filtration

    I have a relatively old VacuFlo Central Vacuum Power Unit and I'm finding that the unit is discharging more dust out of the exhaust then I would like to see. I know that this kind of power units need to be vented outside but I use it only for my garage and my car so I don't want to throw an...

    I'm having a problem with my Rainbow E2 Gold. When I took the clear covers off to wash the decals underneath and one of the tabs on the plastic covers broke off and fell inside the vacuum. I took it apart to look for it and hopefully remove it. I didn't see it and I put the vacuum back together...
