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.
