Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

What is the best filtration, in your estimation?  True Cyclonic/ Vacu Flo says there 'no loading' fans will hold up over the long haul, competitors disagree

MD produces only 'bag on top' designs, with disposable liners

Others have filtered cyclonics some, like Zenex, claim there is no need to touch or replace their filter-ever

Central Vac (brand) has exterior mounted motors with disposable bags

Any thoughts on Aqua-Air and/or Drain Vac systems?

Husky (presumably derived from Husqvarna) and Nilfisk offer central systems, too

Some dealers say the square footage to be cleaned should be doubled to insure adequate suction/airflow as the system ages, some say there's no such thing as too much power.

What about tubing? All the OEM mfg are against using sched 40 PVC and insist of CVS pipe.  The FlowMax Gold with the bell ends looks like a great way to go.

The hose and storing it?  Hide-A -Hose? The in wall cavity hose reel? MD's segmented concept? Beam's new telescopic hose? Maybe the easiest solution is to install a few more inlets and just use a 25ft hose?

Finally, what about the Turbo Cat? There strong opinions on both sides as to whether it really will function as well as an electric power brush.

So, how would you help someone navigate all the choices to select a system for their needs?

Scott,

Check out the hose retractor for electric CV hoses, the MD sectional hose, 20 foot length with and easily clicked in 10 or 15 ft extension. Also check out the Vroom, way better than a sweep inlet, IMHO
