Now own the Silentmaster S5-44 unit as shown in the large picure.Replaced its bag to start the New Year.When I replaced it-the unit hadn't been used for more than a month-bag was almost half filled!!My unit runs from 120V 15.8A.Runs off a 15A outlet just fine.Unit is in the hallway of my place-so the 35Ft hose will reach both ends of my house.This machine is the GO TO in my vac collection along with Kirby,NSS M1.Used the M1 to vacuum the area around the Silentmaster bag before removing it.My machine uses GIANT Filtrete bags.The motor area under the cloth bag -SPOTLESS!!I have a Stealth Kit-customer bought it-used it a few weeks and didn't like it.The hose has a blue cloth hose wrapper.Nice touch.The Stealth powernozzle works good for me.Use it in areas where the Kirby Avalir rigged to the Silentmaster doesn't fit.also have a wand with the Sebo ET1 powernozzle.The custoemr traded the hose set back to Mike and got a Meile canister instead.I got the set at a good price-hose cover thrown in!I will continue to try to collect Central machines.The Filtex ones are common here-but no units in the trade pile.Figure since the motors on these are easily replaced-you don't see them.Also changed the bags in My NuTone CV450 and CX550 machines.NuTones are common here.

Tomorrow I'm going to start installing a 3 motor Filtex unit from the 90s in my would be mother in law's house. I can relate in the area of craving power, in my ouse I had a Riccar RPU-C10, its a 240V dual motor Cyclovac unit, 1160 Airways, 248CFM and 134 IOW. Its got enough power at the end of the hose that it hurts your hand when I put it over the hose end. I expect this triple motor Filtex will be about the same. It'll be quite the thing for all the pet hair and dirt they've got, its overwhelmed every vacuum I've taken over there in one way or another, none have come close to deep cleaning like I want, and they all fill up so fast on the dog hair.
