For the upright I would recommend the Kenmore Peohressive Red Pepper Bagged Upright. Panasonic is going to be stop manufacturing vacs which means the Kenmore Elites Progressives and I forget the other one are going to stop being made! :( Anyway get a Kenmore Progressive BEFORE December as that is when it is rumored to not be manufactured anymore.

I always recommend folks to take a look at Carpet Pro as one of the best budget uprights ever made. It's got a steel handle, bottom plate, and steel brushroll with replaceable brushstrips. You could also purchase an extentable crush proof hose to fit in the back to use to vacuum floors with that feels exactly like you are using a central vac. Thare are some Panasonics that are like that as well I would also recommend as well but they are a little too much for the price and yes Panasonic will be discontinued by later this year but the parts will still be available for them.
For Central vacs, Vacuflo makes units for Dirt Devil (It's the same thing) and both Dirt Devil and Vacuflo has a closed bag filtration model that is Overall really awesome and I highly recommend those better than the filtered cyclonic units. MD does have an option where you can also use them as a closed bag filtration. There's a video from MD that shows how to do that. And if are still interested in looking, take a look at the Riccar or Simplicity units as they are not only powerful but ridiculously super quiet and it's got it's best warranty on them | ||

My 1984 VacuFlo (thank you Owen Perkins) has the two original motors. They will run forever. Owen replaced the carbon brushes once in the unit's entire 'life'. It's a true cyclonic, vented outside. I will never have a different brand, as the VacuFlo is easily the most powerful machine I've ever seen or used. It IS a commercial unit though, built to clean a church or a school. I've used my VacuFlo to clean things no vacuum should ever have to clean (don't give your dog taco salad - not a pretty sight coming back up). The VacuFlo just soldiers on and on and on......

one more bagged unit Here's one more bagged unit, this one uses the Ametek 8.4 inch motor, it's the most powerful motor you can get that works on 120 volts, note that this unit does not have a manual switch, that may or may not be important to you. CLICK HERE TO GO TO n0oxy's LINK | ||

one more bagged unit Here is one more unit you might consider, this one uses a flow through motor rather than a bypass motor, 5.7 two stage. CLICK HERE TO GO TO n0oxy's LINK | ||

If you're a costco member, you have this Husky as an option. The reviews look pretty good. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ralph123's LINK | ||

flo master Not sure what the specs are on the 650, they changed the models recently. I have a flo master m85 which I think is the most powerful 120 volt model you can get, it's good, uses a flow through motor instead of bipass, but if you can live with that, they are good units. | ||

That is a reason why I like MD-built in the US and they back their machines!They are top quality-and SIMPLE-no unneeded gizmos and gadgets-just a powerful vacuum unit. | ||

A Spencer unit would be GREAT-but remember these are for commercial-industrial use-not in a home.You would probably need 3 phase power to run the unit. | ||

The Dirt Devil would be a low end contractor grade unit. I know some central vac guys that really like the MD series. There are many different designs to central vacs as far as the bag or filter or cyclonic. I'm not sure what state you live in but there are some friends in the vacuum world that specialize in this stuff and could offer you service and/ or advice. You'd be surprised how far they are willing to drive for a job too as central vacs are a neat and expanding market niche.
