You can get the Carpet Pro version with on board tools. It's the same sucker made by Tacony, the parent company of Power Flite, Riccar, Simplicity, Carpet Pro. Shop around for the best price, anything over $220 is a 95% markup over dealer cost.

I forgot to add that it is a very good cleaning vacuum, not as good as a G5 and newer Kirby but close. Keep extra belts handy.

Are you a housemaid or a carpet cleaner? If you're a carpet cleaner, just use the vacuum hose attached to truckmount. Is now a good time to call you a moron?

Excellent question.
And like everybody else here, I too, will be interested in Larry's answer.

 

[BIG WOOD]

@Nomad74 have you broken one of these vacuums?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I'm trying to imagine someone saying that to Larry's face...

I'd suggest it's the MORON that uses a $30,000 TM to do the job of a hundred dollar vac
butt what do I know.....

I was assuming to use the vacuum prior to HWE. I guess it is different for housemaids. They don't have truck mounts or portables

 

[Nomad74]

@Nomad74 have you broken one of these vacuums?

No. I'm sorry, I have no interest in a vacuum that doesn't have an edger. Kind of like a TM that has no off switch for heat.

 

[Dolly Llama]

the hose of a TM belongs on the end of a wand/tool
Not cuffing the perimeters of rooms and bottom of door jambs

if you're going to pre-vac, then use a vac that can vac all of it
Makes more cents than using a tm

[Kenny Hayes]

What’s the difference in that and all the others?

Definitely loosing it.
Was my friend Larry drugged?
Somebody better change the dosage.

 

[BIG WOOD]

It’s a design that’s lasted. Kinda like sanitaire, and Electrolux/proteam. I’m gonna try it. And the extra hoses can be added on it for $45 for the bells and whistles dudes

I think one of the mb’ers has this old vacuum

 

[Nomad74]

Just get a Shark at Best Buy and get the warranty. It's wonderful.

 

[Kenny Hayes]

That’s what I mean, just like those. But get the wand!! You upgraded to a van, you can’t diagress to a wandless vacuum!!

 

[J20770]

Between the Tacony brands? Simplicity and top of the line Riccar vacs are made in the US, the rest are made in China. There is a difference in the plastics used between the US and Chinese made machines with US made being stronger and having a better fit. Of course you pay a premium for domestic units. The units with a steel brushroll clean exceptionally well having 4 stiff brush strips but they put a strain on the belts. Thankfully the belts are cheap and easy to change. Being that they have stiff bristles and a floating nozzle they can bounce on CGD but that will go away as the bristles get worn in.

They spec hepa cloth/filtrete type bags but you can use paper if you like to change it after every prevacuum.

This is the same design as Panasonic, Sharp and Sanyo, all good cleaning machines.

I picked this up in Vegas

 

[steve_64]

Powr-flights are pOS. Get a shark navagator it has Better technology

He’s incapable of seeing truth

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Panasonic, Sharp, Sanyo, Clean Max, that’s what I saying. All the same just like cell phones, smart phones, dumb phones, you name it. There is no perfect anything or maintenance free anything this side of heaven.

 

[hogjowl]

I’m pretty darn close though
