Personally I also recommend an MD, if you get the M715h, it runs on a regular 20 amp circuit. If you get a dual motor unit, either a 240v unit or a 30 amp 120v will be needed. The M965h2 or the S900r2 would be good. If you want the most sucky that can be had, you want to mount two M715hs in parallel on the system.

Well, installing the plumbing is the hard part, I'd imagine. If you have an unfinished basement in a one story house, it'd probably be quite easy for you to install by yourself.
I say 'easy,' it'd probably take quite a lot of work, but I mean it'd be simpler for you to handle on your own, and at your own pace. Of course that's just me talking from a general house-work standpoint. I have no real experience with central units. |

MD is the first company that comes to my mind. The Flo-Master F650t is a fantastic unit, one of the best single motor units that I've ever used. The Modern Day M715h is also great. But if you're willing to go the extra mile, then either the SilentMaster S900r2 or the Modern Day M965h2 would be my recommendation.
For kits, the Stealth is the best in my opinion. But if you wanted something more aggressive on carpets, the Complete 360 is what I would recommend. And in regards to installation, I would recommend hiring a central vacuum contractor.

I used to own a Vacuflo but I got such a bad sinus infection from emptying and cleaning it, I switched to a Modern Day SilentMaster. Best Central Vacuum Ever in my opinion. I love the Tru-Seal Hepa Bags. Touch No Dirt-See No Dirt-Breath No Dirt.

I think Centraluxs are overall decent for what they are. However though, I personally would not recommend them or use one in my own home. On the power units, The dust would circumvent the filter and cake up the motor fan with dirt which would cause the motor to sound louder overtime, and eventually the motor would go bad. It's not just Aerus but with any system that uses the same filter set up as the Centralux. If it were me, I would wash the filter every time that I would use it. As for the attachments, the hose is wire reinforced. Heavier, more expensive, and generally has less airflow than a crush proof hose. Not good if someone would accidently step on the hose and ruins it. Also the wands are plastic. On the wands, I would usually see electrical connections go bad on them and I would usually see those spring buttons including the neck break. And there's no manual height adjuster on the powerhead, it won't deep clean carpets as well as other powernozzles I've used that do have them. Again they're decent systems but bottom line is there are much better options out there.
According to the current Centralux manual, they now have have the option to use a bag liner for cleaner and easier emptying. Similar to what Vacumaid uses on their cyclonic units. Also, it looks as the whole system is assembled in the US. And from what I heard, you could special order the electric pistol grip hose and attachments from Aerus. If you wanted to use the Aerus central vac attachments, that's what I would recommend over the deluxe accessory kit. Or you could get the Perfect Central Vac Tool Kit which would be alot cheaper. |
