I've owned an Aria Elite and Platinum, and i also owned a HF-6 but it never functioned well due to it being poorly cared for.
I liked the Arias, i was surprised to learn it had a single stage motor in it. With it's old tapered hose it could pull a 7.5 on the baird meter, and with the newer, updated, hose it could pull a 5.5 which is still pretty impressive. It's power nozzle and floor tool are some of the best I've used. They were known to have issues with their hoses, and i didn't really care for the flat cord. With the HF-6 I never really got to see it's full potential. When it came to me it was clogged to hell, and looked at those someone had used it as a bagless machine. The pre motor filter crumbled at my touch, the baffles were full of dirt, and the airflow was pretty pitiful. I ended up taking it apart, and when i got it back together the circuit board failed. It's too bad, I think i would have liked it, Well other than the really long hose. |

Hey everyone, got the hf6 yesterday, it's awesome. Once I've had more time to play with it, I'll write a review. This is different than any other canister I have. It looks similar to a wet dry vac, though I don't think you can use it bagless, and even if you could, I would never do that. It's a great canister for sure! |

Don't know if you knew this, but the HF6's origins IS that of a wet-dry vac. I do remember seeing on the Lindhaus website years ago a water-filtration version of the HF6....yes, you are reading right, & I do mean EXACTLY like a Rainbow. Don't know whether it used a separator or not, though. I will see if I can try to pull up some info on it later today for you & everyone else.
