hmm
Have you looked the the riccar/simplicity vibrance/symmetry line their entry level models may work for you, otherwise how about a miele S7? they clean carpet well, clean hard floors with the flip of a switch, the handle for the onboard tools is comfortable, and the tools are easy to use, they also have a variable speed control on them, the base model runs about 400
If you're looking for something cheaper a basic hoover windtunnel/tempo is always pretty good but sometimes have short non stretching hoses. | ||

I just got a Powered Lift Away True pet a couple weeks ago. I LOVE it. It cleans very well, better than my DC65. It feels pretty durable, too. My only complaint is that it is too powerfull. Even with it on the "high carpet" mode which reduces suction, it has a lot of suction, and still clamps down to some of my throw rugs.

There are some very good uprights out there that do not cost a lot. Consumer Reports tests show that the following three uprights will give you decent carpet cleaning without breaking the bank...these 3 also have on-board tools including turbo nozzles to remove pet hair from furniture:
Kenmore Elite 31150 ($290) Hoover Windtunnel Max UH30600 ($150) Eureka Smartvac 4870 ($150) The Eureka tops the trio for carpet cleaning. The top-rated Kenmore has a longer cord (35feet) than the other two and has stronger airflow thru the hose for tool use. But the Hoover is lighter than the other two at only 17lbs (vs 21 lbs). | ||

a vacuum suggestion You didn't say if you wanted bagged or bagless, personally I would suggest a bagged model, how about the Panasonic mc-cg902, it's reasonably priced, it's a canister but does include a power nozzle for the carpets. Another great canister is the Riccar Prima. | ||

How long is your electric hose? When I installed my VacuFlo 566Q almost 10 years ago the longest electric hose available was 30 feet, now they come in 35 feet. I know it doesn't seem like much but those 5 extra feet do come in handy. I have direct connect inlets with my system and now have the Simplicity power nozzle and hose, and I've never been happier. You can't beat the convience or the performance of the VacuFlo system and if you are able to make some modifications to make the best use out of the system that would certainly be better than buying a portable vacuum. Best of luck!!

Wasn't there a thread earlier in the year from a Rainbow owner who still found the smell of pet hair reeking from the vacuum? Its not so much the canister at fault but apparently even the hose had been washed out many times but still smelt bad. Also the tools. So many owners forget that - and with other brands too. The HEPA filter on board can only go so far.
See if you can try out a second hand SEBO upright - i.e Windsor Sensor with manual height adjustment. | ||

sebo_fan - do you have a link to it? Would be curious to read. While water filtration vacuums have a lot of disadvantages, I didn't think stinky exhaust was one of them, provided the user follows directions and stores the motor unit away from the water pan. | ||

Sorry but no
No I cant Ralph and frankly Im fed up having to offer up archive links to support everything i say on this forum.
If you have the time Google it. In the mean time this previous archived thread refers to MOLD that a Rainbow owner found on his E series canister when he pulled the HEPA door off. See link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK | ||

Scott,
I don't know if this is feasible or what it would cost, but could you possibly move any of your inlets? I know it requires some work and might not be possible, but wouldn't it make more sense in the long run? Then you can utilize all the benefits of the system you already have and not need to supplement your system with another portable vacuum? Maybe even adding an inlet rather than moving one would help, again only if that's a possibility. ~Steven | ||
