Consumer
Reports
The first consumer reports publication on central vacuums
came out in 2004, which means all machines were tested in
2003. This particular publication was generally not accepted
in the central vacuum industry as accurate. There was a very
small amount of vacuums tested at this time, therefore
limiting the results they could of had. A lot of variables
such as filtration type, bag or bagless style, quietness,
etc. were left out of the equation. This means any vacuums
that were featured in this publication were not compared to
all the other central vacuums on the market and can be
misleading. This industry changes rapidly with stronger,
more quieter vacuum units and with more advanced technology
going into central vacuums, consumer report magazines simply
can't keep up with the changes. Our staff continuously
attends vacuum conventions and seminars to make sure we are
aware of all the latest advances in the central vacuum
industry. The question is, do you want to make your
investment based on something a writer for a magazine wrote
or from the advice from a central vacuum expert? With over
30 years of experience, we eat and breath this business.
Although the different consumer magazines can be a good
guide to purchasing a good central vacuum, many individual
needs are not taken into consideration. For example, if you
have a child that suffers from asthma you may need a certain
filtration. Another example would be the sound level of a
central vacuum. You may need to install the unit in a
interior closet, requiring a quiet unit. They also do not
talk about the units track record of service or repairs.
These are just some examples of individual needs that make a
in depth comparison chart a better guide when purchasing a
central vacuum.
We were approached in the
fall of 2007 by two popular and leading consumer
magazines because of our unbiased, comprehensive and
truthful knowledge of the central vacuum industry. They
wanted the most of complete overview of the central
vacuum industry so they could form their own opinion
based on thousands of hours of research. They actually
purchased the majority of the vacuums they tested. Seven
of the 13 units that were purchased from us were to be
tested for future publications. They choose our site to
buy that day, and when we got that phone call we felt
like we were on cloud 9.
Ratings
There are 10 universal
factors that go into these ratings. These factors are power,
warranty, quietness, convenience, longevity, durability,
maintenance, state-of-the-art materials, number of service
calls and best dollar value.
Central
Vacuum PVC Pipe vs
Plumbing PVC Pipe
100% of the
companies in America will tell you; never use
regular plumbing pvc
when installing a central vacuum system in your home. Plumbing pvc
inside wall surfaces are too rough and elbows are too tight, and
will provide insufficient air flow. Central vacuum pvc pipe has a
thin wall and will prevent clogging for many years to come. This
thin wall is a schedule 20 gauge as apposed to a schedule 40 gauge.
We will only sell you the highest quality virgin thin wall pvc
tubing
(new style easy fit bell ends). NO REGRINDS. We
only use top quality fittings which are made in stainless steel
molds and are 25% heavier than inferior fittings.
