Central Vacuums with Hide a Hose

[kirbysthebest]

Show us the Miele you speak of

I was not aware of any other Tandem air machines besides the Tacony models.  These are true Tandem machines.  They have a Direct (dirty air) fan close to the action for good air flow, and a Bypass (clean air) motor behind the bag for suction.


 


Pretty dern good machines.  IMO

Think of a Tacony tandem air vacuum as a "monster" vac you can buy.It is the same idea as some vac collectors by pairing a Kirby or some other direct air upright with a central vacuum,NSS M1, or another canister vacuum.The direct air fan close to the flooring surface being cleaned-and the clean air fan after the bag and filters.If you want a "monster" vacuum you don't have to make up-the Tacony Simplicity-Riccars are excellent choices.I still use a separate canister,though even if you can use the Simplicity-Riccar machine as a "canister".Its just awkward to me.-But it will work.The Tacony machines have it over a Kirby for canister use-no worry of quarters,pebbles,and such going thru the direct air fan at max motor speeds.You just can't pick up large,long items with those of they will clog the airpath.Such as pens or popsickle sticks.Beleive me at the vac shop-folks have tried!!You need a commercial canister or Shop Vac for those things.

Rex,

For sure! Then Sebo is an excellent machine. Kirby's are durable, but picking up coins, or hard objects can break the fan.

Tacony cordless nozzle

Tom, when will the cordless power nozzle be available? That sounds kind of neat. Wonder what kind of battery life it will have, hopefully it will spin as fast as corded power heads. Yes, it would be interesting to add that to something like an old Electrolux model g or some of those 1950's canisters that you showed me last year.
