Tom, your system is quite impressive, I enjoyed looking at that last year at the convention. I'm still debating whether to add a two motor system to my collection. Since I connect the hose directly to my units, no piping, I'm not sure if I would notice any difference, though I can see the use for this system with long pipes. Then again, since I use a central vacuum hose that is 1.5 inch diameter, it might make a difference, I will have to ponder the idea a bit more.

Regarding Beam systems, I have one, it's in the classic series, model 275. It originally came as a bagless unit, and emptying those is awful. Tom, I guess with your system, you have to deal with the same thing. Isn't dumping out that vacuflo unit a big mess? Or perhaps you've found a way to avoid that when emptying the canister, but I know when emptying the beam unit, it was awful. And the claims that those filters automatically clean themselves is a joke, but even with cyclonic units, there is a screen filter that you have to clean. I was able to get an adapter to convert the beam unit to use bags, that is so much better.
