central vacuum Congratulations on the new central vacuum, yes, they are very powerful, I use all of my units without pipes by attaching a hose directly to them, the power is awesome and I find myself using my central vacuum units more than my other cleaners. By using a unit without pipes, anyone can have that cleaning power, no need to mess with pipes. Mike | ||

Congrats!
I've always wanted a central vac. MD used to have some great older sales tapes online I would watch all the time. There's some new home builds out where I live where I saw a DirtDevil system being installed. Thought that was an odd choice.
How did you decide on the ModernDay model? I know they really push the SilentMaster as the TOL, and there's also the FlowMaster, which may be the lower end. I'm sure there's some sort of overlap in terms of airflow, so I wonder how their sales model works. | ||

I love my Modern Day. Love the True Seal bags. I had a Vacuflo for many years until I got a sinus infection from emptying it. Cost me more than $100 for a doctor's visit and the prescription. Out went the Vacuflo and in came the Silent Master (which is NOT silent - not even quiet). I love it. I use it with my sixty foot hide-a-hose and the battery Perfect power nozzle as well as the Volt battery nozzle.

Perhaps this needs to be in another thread but those that have a “portable” central vacuum system I would be interested in seeing your set up. Could be a fun little project to rig something up. Cameron | ||

I miss ours
We had a SilentMaster unit with the Stealth powerhead at our old cabin until we sold the place back in like 2007. We've only had it for like a few years. I liked it better than our system at home which is a Beam 287S with the Rugmaster Plus powerhead and a few Turbocat turbineheads that we rarely use nowadays. I don't know which model our unit was, it might have been a S2 since the place was about 6,000 sq. feet but given for the fact that our cabin was located in the highest altitude of Idaho, it might've been a different model (Could also been used as 240 volts). Another thing too was that our third floor up (We've had four floors in that place), there were no inlet valves installed in that floor. I still don't get why we didn't had those put in when we first built the place but eventually we've somehow managed to reach the hose up there without either having the contractor come back out and put in more inlet valves (Which probably would've effected the performance) or simply buy another vacuum which that was our original plan. Anyways, I've somehow managed to grab some pictures of our unit from the realtor since the place had been recently listed for sale again so these first two pictures is what was our old SilentMaster when it was put in. The next two is an older SilentMaster literature that I've also managed to save from work a few years ago since they looked just like ours. I think these are my most favorite looking units ever from MD.

Mike, were you with us in the old museum when Owen and I fired up that old Filtex? We used two Kirby cords to do the same thing as that device. It was while we were running it, with the intake covered, just letting it build suction then opening the utility valve. Made it bark like a seal! Every time it barked the lights went dim in the place!

was that last year Was that last year at the convention when you ran the Filtex? Wish I could have seen that, in September I'm going to try to bring all four of my beasts to the convention, I will probably have to bring that power supply as well since I don't think a 240 volt outlet is available there. I can't wait for everyone to see those. Mike | ||

Mike
Since the theme of this year's convention in September is "Central Vacuums", it will be so cool to see your "beasts". Owen and Evan and Evan S. and Reggie are central vac experts - their input will be amazing. Thank God we have more than enough room here to hold the invited guests (we have limited the number of people we have invited to the convention so as to be able to social distance the entire time). We are planing a "Pilgrimage" to Evan R.'s home on Friday afternoon/evening as his central vacuum collection is breath taking. Don't forget that Saturday is the banquet - fresh Sea Food from New Orleans, Hans Craig's Southern Specialties, grilled "beer can" chicken and pulled pork, Robert C.'s wonderful deserts. And everyone gets to take home their "Mid Missouri Vacuum" mask. Good times ahead.

viper I'm assuming you're talking about the Drainvac Viper, that is an awesome central vacuum unit. It's probably the most powerful single motor central vacuum unit available but it's very quiet, are you going to use it with pipes or just attach a utility valve and use it as a super duper canister cleaner?

220V machines--I figure I could try one with that device shown earlier that combines two opposite phases to get 240V.Most 240V central vacuums use a 240V15A outlet.Drainvac makes a 240V dual motor machine.Similar to the Viper.Their main difference is greater suction pressure over airflow. | ||

With the theme at this year's vacuum cleaner collectors convention being Central Vacuums, and only 20 invitations, the annual pilgrimage to the Vacuum Museum is smaller for a reason. Social distancing will be in place, But we do have 3500 square feet to display all the Central Vacuums that folks are bringing. Can't wait to hook up Mike's Viper and Drain Vac units. Chicago Mike is making us all a reusable and collectible face mask as well as the wonderful shirts commemorating This Year's Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention as well as all the brands of central vacs we are celebrating.

I made up a utility inlet for the Viper-used the parts that came with it!The new Schottler Reasearch "Patriot" vacuum is an amazing portable canister vacuum.Don't know what kind of motor this thing has-its power is incredible for a portable vacuum. | ||

Shirts
You probably have to have tom talk to mike about the shirts. I have 2 dual sanitronic shirts and a d80 floor mat that's a d80. He did socks, pillows, mats, and other custom items. I wear both my shirts every week for 2 years. He is quiet in his ways but it's a shirt you would order custom for your company from a big corporation. It's not a t-shirt shop screen print.
He has been a ghost for 6 months. Tom can maybe ask him. Les | ||

Well I joined the bandwagon 
took down my Vacuflo 466Q that I've had for 6yrs put up a Cyclovac Constructor used that for about a year and just got a older never been used Silent Master S4 like in Reply# 18. It was easy to install just changed the piping, added some cable to start it and it works!! I'm using the Sebo ET2 power nozzle from my Felix and I don't have anything negative to say about it. Will be interesting to see how long it takes until the bag needs changing as the 466Q I only emptied once a year and it wasn't even half full and the Constructor isn't even half way full, I guess I'm not a slob!!
