Central vacuum install "pipe dream"

In all honesty, I really just like the looks of the 14' Stealth head over the other offerings from MD and Lindhaus. And yes, while it's true that my house is pretty small, I think the 14' one would work just fine. Although, now I'm wondering if the single row brushroll is gonna do a lousy job on my medium pile carpeting. However, I'm still not 100% sure if I'd even get the Stealth nozzle. I'm thinking the alternative would be to get a Whirlpool Kenmore PN, or maybe an ET-1, or maybe a Hoover Windtunnel nozzle, just to name a few other options. Whatever the case, I want a nozzle that'll be durable, quiet, and effective.

That Lindhaus power nozzle is one of the very best on the market. I have power nozzles from Lindhaus, Wessel-Werk, Sebo ( ET-C, ET-H, ET-1, ET350 ), Miele, Kenmore/Panasonic/Hayden/Nutone ( all made by either Whirlpool or Panasonic ) modern Kenmore power nozzles sold today, along with old and new Tristar, CMB Edge Clean, Hoover, Aerus / Electrolux USA, Swedish Electrolux ( their weird Ze3 power brush ), Vorwerk (EB360 that came with my Tige 260 ), Samsung, VAPamore (CRAPamore) and Riccar power nozzles. The Lindhaus power nozzle is the best of the bunch. The Lindhaus nozzle cleans in one pass pet hair from our area rugs that a Miele SEB236 requires six or seven passes to clean. Huge height adjustment range and very effective brush roll. Can't say enough good things about Lindhaus power nozzles.

Very helpful...

Amtraksebo1997, I think you're making the right call to shelve the project. If you're planning on moving out in a couple years and your Mom wants to tear the house down and rebuild eventually, what's the point? What I would suggest doing is, wait until you move out on your own, then buy a really good portable vac or central vac if you buy a house. That way you won't regret it later.

This is very reassuring, though it still pains me to do it, even if I've slowly lost interest over time.

I'm already putting my money towards something more manageable right now. Also, I already have a selection of decent portable vacuums to use in the meantime, such as my Nacecare Henry.

There are two Lindhaus Aria Elites on eBay right now and they are priced reasonably. There is also an Aria Platinum which I don't recommend. The Aria Elite has an analog dial to select motor power and speed. The Aria Platinum has an electronic push button power selector that is achingly slow to respond and resets at 600 watts every time you unplug it. Very annoying. The Aria Elite is much nicer to use. I have one of each. Really nice vacuums with the best power nozzle if you are so inclined.
