Its not quite as loud as a Concept, the exaust from the direct air motor goes into the bag chamber. Sounds like a smothered Concept really. The full price is $1399.95, with a minumum price of $999.95, not cheap. |

Reggie, does this vacuum also have the two motors? One direct air and one clean air? I also like the combo tool ala the Lux combo tool. I really like the Riccar canisters too. Marty |
