The perfect vacuum cleaner (MD Central Vacuum) With EBK360 & Hide a Hose Review

[@bruno076809]

I had to replace my 15yr old system and this one had good reviews so🌼 order up! Pulled it out and installed it in about 30 minutes for the unit. Another 2 hours for the suction & exhaust pipes because I had a rather difficult corner to fit it in and the in/out were on the opposite sides of my previous unit. Powered up, works great! Way better suction than the unit it replaced. Significantly quieter as well - the old unit was at least 50% louder. Highly recommended.

[@imaginekarma8582]

That plumbing system for the central vacuum looks great. I have seen several central vacuum setups which are clogged because the debris from the upstairs falls into the tubing for the main floor or basement and not into the vacuum. Often times the problem is right in the garage where the plumbing was done incorrectly.

[@Italianv74]

I also repair vacuums as my second job so a lot of your videos are very helpful.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I bought the white floor tool for my SRX because I hate the factory floor tool. The new one glides whereas the Rainbow is catches a lot of friction that requires more pressure to move. It swivels a lot better than the oem tool as well. I love it.

[@Italianv74]

Your videos are awesome...fun to watch. You are very knowledgeable and informative. Thanks

[@jaymes1]

I see the Hoover that floats, that's super cool!!!

[@Italianv74]

That's a pretty awesome central vac system.

[@2711marcus]

I have contemplated fitting a CV but my garage is not attached and I don't have a basement so nowhere to put it sadly. I do like them very much and being able to exhaust the air outside is excellent. I will have to stick with my Miele C3 and Sebo E3 to keep my house clean. Plus my Sentria 2 when I want an extra deep clean.

[@AsloAso]

That central vac pulls a lot of amps. I saw your household lights dim for a second when you turn the suction on.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I like how quiet central vacs are but I don’t know if I could get used to the super long hose. Maybe it would just be something to get used to and after some time I wouldn’t mind.

[@2711marcus]

Lucky you. ,😊 I fitted a Flo master. It will do for my first Central Vac. I might get a Silent master sometime. The Modern Day has the tangential bypass motor which I'm told are the longest lasting.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

I would love to see airflow tests for this. So many say they clean carpet really well. So is that 180cfm at the power nozzle? I would think it would lower the farther from the main unit you get. Just curious. Mom is building a house and is considering a system like this.

[@PerformanceReviews]

There's way more to cleaning than CFM. But they're by far the most powerful vacuum cleaner you can buy.

[@Cleaning_Hero]

@@PerformanceReviews so it’s CFM, suction pressure, agitation, head design, brush roll, bristle design, brush roll rpm. Those are the main variables I can think of. Is that right? It would be a cool video if you explained all those metrics and how they work with each other.

I've never seen a dirt bin on TOP of the motor compartment! I was shopping for the NuTone PurPower 700 but after learning that the motors would just get bathed in dirt and shorten their life, I was recommended to shop Nadair or Cyclovac since their units commenly have 140+ of water lift. What's you're opinion on Nadair or Cyclovac? Or do you have a brand that you recommend?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Sounds like you might be in Canada? I'm a mile above sea level so my numbers will always be different than the published numbers. Cyclovac is the better of those two brands.

[@2711marcus]

Do you prefer bagged central vacs to cyclonic? I was considering a Vacuflo.

[@coulter281]

Go with a bagged unit. Much cleaner to empty and overall air quality

[@tru816indo]

Does that lever on the hide a hose outlet lock it at whatever length you pull out? Surely you don’t have to pull out 65 feet if you’re just going to vacuum the stairs? If so it’s still worth it to have this system.. the suction power alone.. plus it’s the most baller way to clean your house

[@2711marcus]

How good is the airflow CFM at the end of the hose on your central vac?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Its over 9000!

[@2711marcus]

Performance Reviews 9000 CFM? Don't put your hand anywhere near the end of the hose it will suck you in haha

[@kevinboothe9991]

The cm of this unit is 200cfm depending on elevation it will also service up to a 20,000 sq. ft home not 8,000

[@coydog7902]

Performance Reviews OVER 9000?

[@angeryitalianchef7251]

Mark Pritchard it’s an anime joke xd

[@2711marcus]

I've fitted an MD central vac after seeing this video. I'm very happy with it. Out of interest how much does the Modern Day power unit cost in the USA?

[@PerformanceReviews]

You would have to call around. I don't work at a MD dealer a friend of mine sold it to me at dealer pricing .

[@coulter281]

Units run from $680 to $1399 depending on the model, 120/240 volt, single motor/dual motor.

[@Mohammad-y5r2p]

How much it costs? I’ve small one in my that recently bought. Never used as of yet.

[@erinoconnell6831]

What do you think of Easy Flo? We only have vacuum shop near us that installs central vacuum systems, and all they will sell is Easy Flo. We are investing in a central vacuum because of family health problems, and so I need to make sure that whatever we invest in will be worth the cost.

[@alexanderjamieson7971]

What is your opinion on Riccar central vacuums? The nearest MD dealer is too far from me but we have a Riccar dealer nearby.

[@2711marcus]

If could install an MD central vac power unit in a cupboard in my house but do you think the noise would be loud and annoying? Wish I had an attached garage.

[@coulter281]

MD silentmaster series is pretty quiet with acoustical motors

[@bsdguy]

Okay, that is great for option 1. What would be your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th recommendation.

[@PerformanceReviews]

Really the only place you'd want to skip out is maybe not getting a hide a hose . You could get a smaller motor unit if you have a smaller house. There's really not a reason to go cheep on a central Vacuum . Especially considering whatever you spend is equity in the house.

[@JKot-tp9un]

Is the wiring for the power head in the hose? Is it low voltage or normal 120v ac?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Central Vacuum heads can be both ways.

[@pointermom7641]

This may sound like a ridiculous question but how do I detach the carpet beater wand from the hose? I have pushed the black button at the top of the wand and nothing happens.

[@jeffp2001]

I have a MD E2 maybe 15 to 20 years old burning smell when running believe it needs new motors are the new unit much better performance and noise or would you just replace the motors. Think replacing motors is about 300 new unit is 1k. Thx

[@PerformanceReviews]

I'd call a professional out and get their opinion. It's really hard to diagnose things over the internet.

[@andrewdye7881]

What does the pipe that's going though the ceiling go too?

[@SaltandPepper8010]

What’s your opinion on a central vac versus a Kirby? I’m assuming the central vac is better but I’d love to hear your thoughts

[@PerformanceReviews]

This central vacuum has four times the power of a Kirby G10. No belt to change no fan to break the exhaust is vented outside the tools are easy to use lighter weight I could go on and on that's not even a comparison.

[@SaltandPepper8010]

Performance Reviews thank you so much!

[@SaltandPepper8010]

Performance Reviews we are building in a few years and I want to put central vac in. I just had a Kirby salesman come to my home and do a demo. I was tempted to buy one. But then I thought about the central vac in a few years and how that will probably be better

[@akaredcrossbow]

Great video!! ?, Is there a longer hose to buy for a Miele C3 Brilliant? Thank You!

[@PerformanceReviews]

Nope . With 10M or 30' of Reach, what can you not get too?

[@akaredcrossbow]

Performance Reviews I have thick pile carpet and most of the time the canister does not like to follow so well. Longer hose would be less pulling of the canister............ I just figured out how lazy I actually am! LMAO Great videos! Keep them coming!

[@phils5221]

I have a Nutone central vacuum (not a fantastic one), it's exhausted within the house (in the utility room) because the home didn't have a rough-in to exhaust it outside. I'm worried about the fine dust getting into the living areas, do you have any recommendations for an exhaust filter that's not terrible?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Cen tech makes an exhaust filter that fits on the 2-inch PVC fitting that needs to be changed every 6 months but it helps a lot. You can also find HEPA grade bags for your nutone .

[@phils5221]

This is great, thanks for the tip! I've seen alot of questionable ones for sale online with no way to tell if they're any good. I'll pickup a Send Tech one.

[@akaredcrossbow]

Beautiful home!!

[@Cleaning_Hero]

What would the best central vac brand be? I’ve heard of Beam and MD.

[@dallasadams760]

Definitely MD. They have the best warranty and make quality made in USA products.

[@carpetrug01]

Do you know how good duoVac and purVac units are?

[@benelhirmez4408]

Are central vacuums better ( in terms of suction) than a Miele C3 with the powerhead?

[@PerformanceReviews]

+Benel Hirmez This one has about three times the power maybe a little more.

[@bault9726]

I want to know if CVs can be put into existing homes. Mine is a condo about 40 yrs old.

[@PerformanceReviews]

You'd have to call and get a professional estimate an opinion from your local Central vac installer.

[@JMatta-on2gy]

Does this central vacuum have a muffler on the power unit?

[@PerformanceReviews]

This one does not but one could be added.

[@JMatta-on2gy]

@@PerformanceReviews How loud is this system without the muffler? Because I saw on MD’s website that it was 76 decibels. Do you know if that is with a muffler and vented outside or not?

[@michelejoerres4165]

Does this vacuum head work good with ultra soft thick dense carpet?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Yes I have similar carpet I can vouch that works on dense carpet very well.

[@jonathansimon498]

About how much was this specific power unit? Which model number? I couldn't find any pricing info online.

[@PerformanceReviews]

You need to consult your local MD Dealer. With central vacuums you must do business locally for the most part.

[@jonathansimon498]

@@PerformanceReviews Ok thanks. This is the only bagged unit I've seen with a utility valve as well! Kudos to MD for that.

[@electroluxlad]

Personally it’s not worth the hepa bags Bc since it’s being vented outside

[@PerformanceReviews]

Full retail on for HEPA bags is $29 . The improved airflow and extended motor life is worth it alone.

[@kyren5757]

I agree with performance reviews HEPA bags are always better if you can use them and as he said that they’re only 29 bucks I would Byam immediately there’s so much better than paper and has he said they improve suction and airflow and keep them strong longer

[@coydog7902]

11:43 is the best sound!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@angeryitalianchef7251]

at 11:34 it looks like the hide a hose is gonna break something from how floppy it is.

[@lesliebrown6808]

What does it cost to retrofit a central vacuum system?

[@PerformanceReviews]

Each house has different you'll need to have a local Central Vac installer come to your house.

[@mikemyers625]

well if you ever change your mind let me know cuz I like to buy that

[@mikemyers625]

how much for your hoover concept upright
