Manta Mop Head for All Vacuum Cleaners Q&A

You have the correct directions, the Manta will fit - guaranteed!

At this time we are not adding this product to the Stealth Kit.

Yes, this will work with your and any Beam Central Vacuum. Enjoy!

Yes, better for cost, size, maneuvering and lower height.

Thank you for asking. This attachment, like all our others, fit on standard hose ends. Standard ends are a circle with 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 inch diameter.

Hello, yes the Manta works very well with the Budd Central Vacuum.

Yes, the Manta will work great with all canister vacuums except Electrolux. BUT NOTE: The wand or tube in connects into must have an outer diameter of 1-1/16" to 1-1/4". Some canister and upgright hose ends have a smaller outer diameter and will not work.

Great question. It may fit, let's spill the details and you can decide. It all comes down to the hose handle connection. Standard central vacuum hoses have a handle with a metal tube about 4-8 inches long coming out of it. This tube goes INTO the accessories. Typically, with Electrolux style connections it is the accessory that clicks into a hole in the handle, or extension tube end. If you have that style then then our accessories will not fit. We know that not all Electrolux/Aerus owners have the non-compatible type of hose but it is rare if they don't. Having said that, though, the vacuum ports on your wall are compatible with all our hoses. You could by a non-electric, not too expensive, Low Voltage Hose and then use all the accessories with have. You could also upgrade to our Stealth II electric attachment set and replace your entire kit. Hope that helps!

Hi, many times these brands had opposite connection types than the rest of the industry. The industry standard fit is male going into female attachment connection. The Manta's neck is that type of connection. It receives into it the extension tube and there is no click in feature. There is a solution though for these non-standard connections. A separate Low Voltage Hose can be used. All our hoses fit into the wall connection for all Electrolux and Centralux. Also, if your hose and tools are tired, consider buying a complete new Attachment Set. They all fit into these systems directly. www.builtinvacuum.com/kits.html is an over view of the kits.

Hi, is it possible to fit new extension tubes for a few dollars? Would these here fit? http://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=406P. Try removing yours and putting your hose end directly into the Manta, then you know the new wands would work.

It will fit your Rainbow vacuum, or any vacuum, as long as the tube it is connecting to is 1-1/8 inch to 1-1/4 inch diameter.

Hello, yes the Manta fits right into all Hayden Central Vacuum Systems.

Yes, the Manta will work if you also use this adapter http://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=406AQD.

Yes, the price includes both the plastic upper part with swivel neck and one washable mophead.

Yes, this tool will fit your Kenmore System (all of the Kenmore Systems, actually). Thank you for asking and enjoy the product.

Hello, yes this will fit your Kenmore Vacuum System. Thanks for asking.

If the end of the hose wand measures between 1-1/8 inch to 1-1/4 inch wide then absolutely yes! That measurement is known as industry standard and the majority of vacuum manufactures use it.

Hi, for quite a few homes the Manta and CentraMop will not be overkill. The CentraMop will keep the kitchen floor mopped and vacuumed quickly for the mid-week cleanings and the Manta will keep your wood or tile floors throughout the home clean all week long - and it does it without banging-up the furniture. Where both are not needed is in homes where cleaning more thoroughly during the middle of the week is not as desired or where there is not a lot of hard floors throughout the home.

This is an accessory tool that is compatible and available with the Stealth system. Though not every tool is included with the Stealth kit, all tools can be added to your system. Once the Stealth power head is removed from the extension wand, the Manta will fit right on the end of the wand.

Hello Sharon, this is going to be a subjective thing. We suggest getting both and returning what you don't want for a full refund. The decision is based on how busy your schedule is, how clean you want the floors, how dirty they are to start with, etc. We have seen opinions all over the board on this issue. When you have a couple of kids you are busy and the floors need constant vacuuming and light mopping so in that case the CentraMop would be better, for instance.

Manta wins for cost and size and maneuvering.

Yes, Manta works excellently with Nutone systems.

Hello, that is a very odd issue. The metal tubes on the hose to the ground are usually long and fit into accessories. Please double check.

Hello, homeowners have their way of using the Manta and it depends on the type of debris on the floors. Pre-vacuuming is not usually done. Try it straight away and if you notice the need for pre-vacuuming then please do so.

Height of Manta head is three inches. Replacement mops are now available.

That is a great idea. A small Manta for smaller surfaces. We will entertain the thought. Meanwhile, consider one of these products. http://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=403PBL,403CB

Hello Cecilia, the Manta fits all uprights, canisters and central built-ins except for the few that are not standard. A standard connection to the Manta has the hose tube sliding into the neck of the Manta. The 1-1/8 to 1-1/4" wide hose tube male end slides an inch or two down into the Manta's neck. Enjoy! This is a hugely popular floor tool for its size, shape, and softness.

Hello Dale. To wash the cloth tuff pad you'd unvelcro it from the grey base and toss it in the washing machine, then tumble dry.

$29.99 was basically a misprint in a catalog before we actually received the Manta. Sorry! Good news is the price is $5 less than the older, smaller, and less effective Mop Head before that.

The Manta Mop Head is compatible with extension wand ends that are round and measure at 1 1/4" diameter. (The extension wand is the pipe or tubing that connects your hose handle to the carpet attachment tool)

Hi, your expectations here are key. It will get the hair but not all of it will be suctioned up. It will be gentle on your floor and furniture but you'll have to vacuum the Manta's edges as you finish a room or two depending on how much hair there is. Another option is to use a 402D or 402W floor brush first to get the hair up and then do a dusting with the Manta.

Hello, yes this will work with button wands. The button slides under the neck easily and helps hold the brush on. Also, we have a wand that is button on top and friction on the buttom here http://builtinvacuum.com/retail/shopretail.php?part_no=406TB

Yes, it will work great if it is very smooth and the grout is not too wide.
