We hooked two of the simplicity power units together at the vacuum cleaner museum. Talk about the suction.

The imperium central vacuum units are basically the same as the Vacumaid units, but a bit cheaper and I think a different color, other than that they are the same. Mike |

I got a Riccar RPU-C10, our house was built the same year Riccar and Simplicity started selling Cyclovac built units. The only regret I have is that I went with the bagless over the bagged unit, as the filter is messy, but it still is a HEPA filter and it does filter all, there is still absolutely no dust past it, 12 years after installing it. I still have the original tool set too (obviously) and I love the RIccar power head.

I should also add that I also feel Vacuflo makes an excellent unit too, their advantage is that there isn't a messy filter to mess with, though you do have to stick a brush up in there and knock the crap off the screen, less effort and mess than cleaning the filter. You won't get a bad machine either way in my opinion, so just look at both and see which you like more. My preference in central vacs, in no order of preference Cyclovac, MC, and Vacuflo. This also applies to units made by these guys for other brands, like my Riccar.

Wow, you have a really nice system (I'm actually kinda jealous LOL). I've always liked the looks of these older units the best, especially with the decal logo on top. One of these days I would like to find the Simplicity version of this (Bagged or Bagless) and I wouldn't mind putting that one in my own home if I change my mind on the Silentmaster that I'm planning on getting.
