The Dyson was an EXCELLENT choice in terms of a bagless machine. Bags would have been better, but at least you bought the best. Now in terms of the CV, AVOID Nutone and Beam. Aerus/Electrolux, MD, and Hayden are your best choices. | ||

Personally I wouldn't recommend a Nutone. I like the MD units the most. CLICK HERE TO GO TO rexaird's LINK | ||

Scott! Do not buy that Nutone.!! They are awful. the motor is made in China, the bags are expensive, rip when you try to remove them and don't filter well. Go to Thinkvacuums.com or Central Vacuum Store and follow thier leads. Both sites have vast amounts of info. Greg | ||

Airway back in business I cannot believe that I am seeing this, hopefully they will still have the same quality that they had when they closed. | ||

I am a big proponent of central vacs
I have owned a number of them over the years. I prefer a bagged machine over cyclonic. The cyclonic has a tendency to need more maintenance, in my opinion. Nutone tends to be for the building trade - more BOL. If you put one in, get the most powerful unit you can, you won't regret it. I put a smaller Filtex unit in my place in California and was really disappointed. The MD units and particularly the Silentmasters are great units. Their website has the most comprehensive set of information and parts available. My S5 draws 30 amps and has been wonderful.

Nutone VX-series
I used to work for a small store that sold appliance parts and was a Nutone dealer and an authorized repair center. The VX series was apparently the worst unit they had ever come out with. The techs and the owner never sold them to anyone, they were constantly replacing builder installed units with new ones, and Nutone even stopped producing them for a while so that they could try to correct some of the problems, mainly the motors and computer boards. The shop owner did like the standard Nutone CV series units as they had decent performance and were easily serviced. I have a Vacuflo 566Q with direct connect inlets in my house and I absolutely love it! I installed it in the house about 4 years ago and I have never had a problem with it. Its a true cyclonic bagless unit, and other than emptying the dust bin, you have to vacuum or brush out a small metal screen inside the unit every 3 or 4 months. I usually vacuum the screen with a canister vacuum and it takes literaly all of 2 minutes to do this. I did research several other manufacturers, and the only other one that was a contender was the SilentMaster. I chose the VacuFlo because its bagless and there is no cloth or foam filter to clog, so it never looses suction, any dirt that isnt deposited in the canister is exhausted outside the house. Remember that whatever unit you choose, along with proper installation, choosing the right hose, power nozzle, and accessories makes a huge difference! ~Steven | ||

One last thing I forgot to mention, do exactly as Fred said above, buy the most powerful model they make or you can afford. I believe my unit is rated for 7000sq feet, which is about double the size of my house. The difference in price for this unit was only about 100 or 150 dollars more than the 466Q and it was worth every penny! Trust me, you wont ever regret it! Good Luck! | ||
