Nice
Certainly a central vac is better than no central vac at all or even a portable. Good thing you stocked up on a whole bunch of bags cause they've since been discontinued. In fact all parts for the VX series are no longer made except for the motor, they were just so bad.
I had high hopes for NuTone ever since DrainVac bought them out but to my disappointment, DrainVac is selling Pure Power units with the DrainVac logo on them. I was told by DrainVac they were selling off the PP units and build something new for NuTone but so far that hasn't happened. I think just like NuTone, DrainVac is also going downhill since their quality check has been terrible with units being shipped out with defective motors and now Think Vacuums is the US distrubuter for DrainVac as they also have terrible support from my experience. Thankfully you can swap out these NuTone units for something else that's more powerful, quieter, and greener. There are just better options out there today. | ||

Good thing we have one of the POST-fix VX's! Wouldn't bother swapping to a different central vac NOW, as our NuTone is still doing an amazing job. Maybe in ANOTHER 16 years... we'll see, but she's rock solid right now... couldn't be happier! | ||

If you need a new motor or relay switch, you can order them from MD Manufacturing.

Interesting. I had thought by the 2000s that Nutone had ditched their proprietary inlets and were using the industry standard Canplas and Hayden inlets. | ||

You sure that's from the Loew's Jersey? Maybe my memory's failing, but that doesn't look like the basement of the Loew's Jersey. Are you sure that pic came from there? I remember it being different. | ||
