    Has anybody figured out who makes the best Central Vacuum Electric Power head accessory pack? Or are they all the same?

    I have been looking for a local dealer in Portland, OR where I could go and find the best accessory pack, but I only found one, and their power heads are not electric but air driven.

    I read somewhere that I should buy one manufactured in Europe, and with rubber wheels.

    There are many many places that sell these accessory kits on line, but they don't describe them in enough detail to do any meaninful comparison shopping. They all just say general things like "deluxe" and leave it at that.

    Any recommendations?
