Recently got a flow master with the stealth kit and sock covered hose it’s a pigtail connection but it’s really nice certainly beats carrying the Kirby up and down the stairs, personally don’t mind carrying the hose around but I can see the appeal of the hide a hose though I really want to get a drawvac for the kitchen counter and workbench at some point
Thank you this makes it possible for us to do hide a hose all around instead of doing hide a hose where we have tile and having to do two standard systems to deep clean carpets(we have BAD allergies)!!
Wow this really is a game changer like you said. A hide a hose is something I have wanted for awhile but it wasn’t an option without power. So I have been looking at competitors that do have powered options, but they just don’t do it for me. This now makes it viable as I would never consider the Tacony battery powered head, only German for me. Now if I can connect this up with my Sebo E1 or a Henry, then I’m absolutely a buyer.
Whats the main advantage to using something like this versus an upright vacuum? I imagine the suction is quite good and its nice to have the main unit outside of the living area but with the high filtration bags available today, does a central vac offer all that much that an upright doesn't offer? Also, how does this particular nozzle compare to the SEBO nozzle on the D4 premium?
Versatility, quietness, convenience, power. I could never schlep a canister around. And an upright is out of its element on any surface except wall to wall carpeting.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Miele made a cordless canister to go with it. The difference would be a a battery pack in place of a cord reel and a BLDC version of the vortex motor.
This is great gives me something to ponder . I’m building a new home and I think I’ll have this added to a central vac. Well done . I was wondering what your favorite Panasonic from back in the day a canister vac and what was your favorite upright from Panasonic. I love the old Panasonic units . Panasonic built such quality products.
Is this one compatible with a Miele straight suction? Does the handle that this p/n comes with have to be used with it, or can the Miele handle be attached to the wand directly?
Is this a 1-1/4" connect? I'm a flooring installer and I've been looking for something like this to attach to my shop vac hose that I converted to a 1-1/4" metal coupler with a 12' hose.
It's very different it has a lifetime belt a swivel neck it's compact and it doesn't have a fan spinning and restricting air flow and causing air turbulence.
Any of your local Central Vacuum people will have it. It's often known as an "edge charge" It can be found for sale here: builtinvacuum.com/product/ebk-battery-powered-brush/?c=carpet-brushes&s=battery-powered
Cleans better due to stiffer, shorter bristles and faster brush RPM. Similar longevity/build quality. Nice bright LED headlight. Toe touch height adjustment. And of course, available in battery version unlike the Sebo. To be fair, the Sebo is also an excellent product!
