Does anyone have an air powered turbo kit for their central vacuum? I have the Hayden Super Pack with my VacuFlo and I hate it! I like the Plastiflex turbo grip hose much better and was thinking about buying a second kit for the house. Since I already have an electric kit I am curious to know how well the turbocat nozzle performs. I would change just the hose on my kit but the Hayden p/n doesn’t adjust low enough to clean my berber and professional style rugs. Perhaps the turbo nozzle would be fine for these two rugs? My VacuFlo is the 566Q and I assume it has more than enough power to turn the turbo nozzle. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks!

I have a TurboCat
It seems to work quite well. You are right to be concerned about enough power to run the nozzle. I have a Silent Master S5 that dims the lights when it runs (30 amps). I like the ability to use a lighter hose. I use the Nutone with the power switch on the end. I think it is a great way to go. Also you can get them in nice colors. Fred | ||

New Turbo Cat
Thanks for the info Greg! I used the Zoom once at my best friends house but i wasnt really impressed with it. They have a VacuFlo system also but its the 760 dual motor unit. It has a higher CFM than my unit but the water lift is not as high. Their house is over 7000 sqft and this unit should be more than capable of handling the house but my unit seems to have quite a bit more power to it. Anyway, I used the square style TP120 turbo cat in the vac store where I bought my system and the nozzle just took off across the floor when the vac was switched on. I didnt want the turbo nozzle at the time since we still had our large German Shepard and I didnt think a turbo head, no matter how good it seemed in the store, could handle the hair like an electric nozzle. Does the Zoom model clean better than the older style TP120? By the way, does anyone know if there is a Plastiflex hose made to work with an Electrolux P/N? I think the P/N from my Epic 6000 would do an excellent job if paired with the central vac. Thanks! | ||

Electrolux Hose
Greg, I purchased the Turbo Cat Zoom kit from VacuFlo and so far I am very pleased with it. The Plastiflex turbo grip hose is in another world when compared to the Hayden hose. I would like to get rid of the Cen-tec Hayden power nozzle and just use my Lux power nozzle with my system. Do you know where I may be able to find a direct connect central vacuum hose that will work with a Lux wand? I checked ebay but I only saw one and it had a pigtail cord and looked just like the hayden hose. Is there a company that makes a generic hose to fit or would I have better luck getting it directly from Aerus? Thanks, Steven | ||

Thanks for the info Greg. Im going to get rid of the Hayden kit and just keep my eye on ebay for a genuine Electrolux central vacuum hose. I know I have seen them there before so hopefully one will turn up again. I love the small grip Lux handle, Electrolux is at the top in my book, and its just the perfect size for any task! Thanks Again! Steven | ||

I would still suggest looking into a Riccar/Simplicity electric tool kit. I have been very happy with mine. | ||
