You need to try a Numatic Henry or James! James runs about $270.00 and Henry about $50.00 more. Can't be beat! Far out perform a Miele! | ||

Henry and Miele the Henry is a great machine, very quiet and powerful. I also enjoy my Miele C1 Olympus. And, if you get a straight suction machine, it is possible to add a power nozzle later, you could get the Tacony Volt, and Perfect Products now makes a battery power nozzle as well. These will clean carpets far better than any straight suction rug tool. Mike | ||

I am in agreement with Tom Air-Way, and Filter Queen have great straight suction rug nozzles. Rexair (Rainbow) had an awesome straight suction nozzle, as did the Hoover Portable (suitcase model). | ||

You beat me to it!
I just finished vacuuming through the first floor with my Hoover Portable. Since it's the only straight suction vacuum that I have any real world experience with, I was going to give it a vote. I'm surprised how well it does getting cat fur off the braided rug. And on bare floors, I'm impressed with the edge cleaning. I was sure nobody else was going to be mentioning it! Barry | ||

I’d have to say that my favorite straight-suction vacuum is my Craftsman leaf vacuum. Does that count?
Ok, if not, then give another vote to the Sebo E2.

I am very pleased with my Miele C3 FreshAir suction only canister vacuum. It was a limited-edition Canadian version of the highly-rated Miele C3 Alize. It has an extra-long telescopic wand, SpotLight ergonomic handle, AirTeq carpet nozzle - which is super effective for cleaning low pile rugs and bare floors, and very quiet operation.
It’s a pleasure to use! Just wish Miele would offer a plastic tool caddy for all the extra attachments I’ve bought over the years (mini turbo, universal dusting brush, flexi crevice tool). | ||

“Straight suction” is kind of a misnomer. The term that should really be used is “suction only”. This refers to a canister/cylinder/tank vacuum that does not have an electrically powered motorized power nozzle with revolving brush roll for cleaning carpets. These suction only vacuums may use an air-driven turbo nozzle to clean carpets, but no second electric motor in the carpet nozzle.
“Direct Air” or “Clean Air” refers to the position of the bag in relation to the suction fan. Direct Air vacuums have the dirty air going through the fan first before being collected in a dust bag. Clean Air vacuums have the dirty air go first through the filtration bag, then secondly through the motor. I prefer the terms “Fan First” or “Bag First” to describe the two configurations. | ||

Yeah, I'm not sure anything would destroy a vacuum faster than using it in a restaurant. My Legend II looked like it was used in a restaurant; there was so much grease built-up and caked-up in the nozzle and fan chamber. Took forever to clean all of that out. | ||

Miele C3
Quite simply the Miele C3. It just have everything what I want from the canister vacuum cleaner. In the Finland Miele has extremely good reputation and they sell well despite they aren't cheap. Picture taken from the Finnish "Gigantti" electronic appliances shop site. Price 299€.

HMMM-at this point wouldn't ANY vacuum cleaner without a powered roller brush be considered "straight suction"?Just thought I would throw that in! | ||

Another striaght suction vacuum I have-is made up by the Sew&Vac place here-the "Port-O-Vac" this is an MD central vac unit mounted on a janitorial cart-also I have one that has a ProTeam backpack unit mounted on the cart.Either of these works well with a Volt Powernozzle. | ||

another great machine Another great little central vacuum unit is the Drainvac Atomik, I love this machine, it's small but very powerful. It includes a straight suction hose but you could easily connect an electric hose to it if desired. And if you decided later that you wanted to connect it to pipes, you can do that too, the design of this machine is awesome. Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO n0oxy's LINK | ||

the m1 Hopefully your atomik will arrive soon, mine arrived in a few days after ordering. I have thought about getting the M1 since I love canister machines, that's the only direct air canister that I know of, most canister machines have the bag before the fan. Mike | ||

I don't like straight suction canisters for vacuuming carpeting. When my boyfriend and I first moved into our house his grandma gave us an old eureka princess. It was the only vacuum we had at the time so I used it to vacuum a house full of wall to wall carpet. The eureka only has the straight suction floor nozzle. No revolving brush at all. It didn't pick up dog hair or threads which was totally annoying. It was also a pain in the butt to vacuum an entire house of carpet with a straight suction canister. I know way back when, a lot of people had straight suction canisters. That must have been tedious! My eureka has a vibra beat nozzle but all it did was make a lot of noise that scared my dogs and really annoyed my boyfriend. The plain carpet nozzle did a better job than the vibrabeat nozzle. After several months of cleaning with the eureka my mom gave us a shark navigator for Christmas. It's plastic crap but I was glad to have it at the time because it's an upright with a revolving brush at least. So does anyone here like using a straight suction canister on carpeting?

I don't use the eureka anymore really. My boyfriend uses it to vacuum the cars but that's about it. I have a Kirby now that I love. I use the hose and attachments on it for vacuuming the upholstery and above the floor stuff. I did buy a turbo nozzle for my eureka but it was useless. Once I would put it in the carpet the brush would stop turning. I Didn't know they made battery turbo nozzles. How cool. Wish I had known that when I was using the eureka for all my vacuuming.

awesome Great, can't wait to hear what you think of the Atomik, are you going to use the hose it comes with or hook it up to a different hose? It sounds like you have lots of central vac hoses and attachments, I think you will really enjoy it, and you may find it much easier to move around than a big unit on a cart. Mike | ||

 Power nozzles will always be preferred, but I have learned to appreciate a good rug nozzle as well! I don't know that I can pick a favorite, I enjoy a central vac, the NSS M-1, Mieles do well too. I simply haven't the patience to try and sort out all of my favorites, but I do enjoy a well designed rug nozzle on a fun machine. | ||

Oh yes--the Volt powernozzle is a great mate for the Atomik and with an adaptor made up by the vac shop I go to for the Pig as well. | ||

@n0oxy
@Ultralux88 I was thinking along the lines of portable vacuums. But it sure is hard to beat a good central vacuum!:-D Well just chalk 1more up for #CentralVacuumpropaganda I guess we're all just going to eventually agree that Central Vacuums are best? Everything always leads back to well if you had a "central vacuum" :-D Thanks for all your input guys! | ||

I got the idea of using a central vacuum without the plumbing from vac shop displays where the unit is mounted to the wall and it is demoed with the utility inlet-or a standard wall inlet mounted to the machine.Of course ANY central vac machine will be most powerful used in this manner. | ||

Another good thing to use the filter outlet bag on the Atomik-it acts as a muffler-without it the unit can be loud.And I find when you start the machine-hold its handle to prevent it from twisting from motor start torque. | ||

motor tork Have not had the issue with the machine twisting when starting up, this is when sitting on a hard floor. Still, it's amazing that Drainvac was able to fit such a powerful motor in to this unit. Mike | ||

@tolivac There is not a noticeably difference without pipe .
I would be happy to test with a working water lift gauge for you. Using a gauge is the only way to see the difference.
