Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

A short while ago, I bought a Metro Vac Professional compact cannister (a little rocket I might add).  It only came with a standard hose.  Since I mostly have Lux cannister powerheads, with the exception of a Lindhaus head that I adapted to fit the Lux, I thought I would purchase a current carrying hose that I could use the Lux/Lindhaus head with. 

I have manly used wire reinforced hoses, I feel that they are built heavier, and will stand up to more abuse.  Crushproof is lighter, will flex back as compared to the w.r. , and will kink. 

Any recommendations you guys would have for this application??

p.s. mole, I'm thinking of taking the winter mukluks off the crown vic in the next week or two, just wait, it will snow right after!!

Hi Vernon.

I would wire the 16 svt cord  into it,it will carry the voltage better than the 18 svt,ALSO YOU CAN GET JUST THE POWER HEAD JACK KIT.i THINK THE ONES OFF THE EUREKA 1700 SERIES CANISTERS WILL WORK FINE
In fact i  know i have some. Of course you will have to get csa and ul approval

HI Vernon,

I'd stick with the wire bound hose.  Crushproof are great on a central vac (as long as they have a swivel end) but because they get pulled and kinked much more with a cannister vac they tend to deform and break down electrically.
