Nilfisk is the parent company of both Clarke and Advance. Buy whichever one has the lower price and you'll get the same machine. | ||

You've got some options here. You can retrofit most backpacks with a power nozzle thanks to this adapter cord and the wessel werk retrofit hose, you can buy a premade retrofit kit, or buy a unit that includes the power nozzle setup
Pigtail adapter cord $39.99 Wessel Werk Retrofit hose $89.49 1.25 hose 90 degree cuff $23.76 Wessel Werk EBK360+ wand $168 Excluding shipping this about the same price as the kit You could also choose other power nozzles like the Sebo ET1/ET2 Or a Lindhaus head but those will cost you quite a bit more. There is a kit available from the vacuum factory, for 324.95 which comes with the Wessel Werk EBK340 which is a good nozzle but it does have no height adjustment which if you have higher pile/soft carpet you would wand www.thevacuumfactory.com/... Now all that said I wouldn't go with the LB4 I've found it's suction/airflow to be below many other backpacks. I do like Lindhaus' nozzles but I find their suction motors to be lacking. I don't have any experience with Advance/Clarke/Nilfisk backpacks but the 144 CFM spec sounds promising I'd probably chose a Proteam if I were shopping for one They're probably the largest name in backpack vacuums out there. Like the above kit though you will get an EBK340c meaning no height adjustment, and no head light. Unless they've changed the setup on them your power head connection will resemble a computer plug meaning you'll have less flexibility for using other heads. They do have hepa after filters on the triangular shaped bodies and after market hepa bags can be obtained. I know it's a fair amount of info thrown at you all at once so if you have more questions do feel free to ask. I think the best option for you though would be to purchase a backpack with the power nozzle just to ensure you get all the correct parts. | ||

Oh!
Well I'd just go with a Proteam FS6 then. I have one and it's airflow according to my readings are 123 cfm at the hose end for the 1.25 hose with the electric nozzle kit or about 149 CFM at the end of the standard non electric 1.5" hose. They do have hepa after filters as standard.
So looking at your Brochure for the GD5 those particular units are 780w machines where the ones with 144 cfm are rated for 1300W

Bleb, if you are considering canisters with long hoses, put a TriStar EXL on your list. There is a optional 12 ft hose available for them and the MG series. They also have a optional HEPA filter for the exhaust, and aftermarket HEPA Cloth bags. I would only advise a used EXL on Ebay though and put a new motor in it. The MG series used a Electrolux AB single stage motor, later a Johnson Electric single stage Chinese motor, and are nowhere near the same quality as the double stage Electro Motor used in the EXL. Also update the brushroll to the latest style with the extra turn of bristles, that will give it comparable grooming to a Wessel Werk ebk340.
Also note that if you use HEPA Cloth bags, the HEPA exhaust filter is mostly capturing carbon dust. So don't worry as much about the exhaust filtration unless you have severe allergies. | ||

I believe you can also still special order a longer 12 foot hose for the Aerus Guardian Platinum.
