We would like to take a minute and
explain why Consumer Magazines may be misleading at times, especially on
the internet. Consumer Magazines may very well work great for customers
looking for TV's, cars etc., but when it comes to the vacuum industry it
couldn't be more far off. Giving ratings or judgments on a item that has yet to build a proven
track record just does not make sense. These ratings are based on name
recognition and price. If a vacuum has been on the market for a couple
of months or less how can you properly rate it? Common sense will tell
you that even us as experts with over 40 years of experience cannot
properly rate a vacuum until it has built up some sort of track record
and repair history.
 Other
websites may try to mislead you with claims of a central vacuum unit
being a "Best Buy" and/or rated high by consumer magazines. One
particular website points out that some Consumer Magazines rated the Eureka®
Central Vacuums a "Best Buy" in 2004. These units turned out to have major relay
board, motor gasket, and tank gasket issues and as a result
are no longer being made!!
All those poor people were misguided and took the trust of a report,
only to find out later just how poor some of these units really were.
Furthermore, the Beam® Model 2775 and AirVac®
Model BV2000 were also rated highest in their class and are also no
longer being made. How
good of a buy could that unit have been if the company pulled it off
the shelves in less than 4 years? Would you buy a car today just
because it was rated "Best Buy" in 2004, which means it was tested in
2003? Probably not. With technology changes in what seems like every 6
months,
our staff continually attend seminars and conventions to keep our
customers up to date on TODAY'S best and newest central vacuum
products.
We are a well respected dealer and represent more than 20 central
vacuum manufacturers
and consider ourselves experts in the central vacuum industry. We deal
with many units that have been featured in Consumer Magazines as well as
units that have never been rated. Our central vacuum ratings found on
our comparison chart pages are considered among the most accurate and
unbiased on
the internet. When you are unable to touch and feel a vacuum unit it
is important to find ratings you can trust, ratings created by central
vacuum professionals.
We know what is important to a customer and our ratings are based on
that. Power, quietness, filtration and warranty all go into our
ratings as well as overall problems we may have experienced with
certain units.
When searching for a central vacuum unit, remember to ask our
experienced, professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff who know
the business and are waiting to help you.
