Central Vacuum ABS Resin vs. Metal

Learn the differences between ABS Resin central vacuums (new video) and Metal central vacuum systems.

Welcome to ThinkVacuums.com. Rust is one of the problems you may encounter when purchasing a metal central vacuum. These units are no less qualified when cleaning your home… though over time their durability is considered questionable. These units are susceptible to corrosion, denting, and are much heavier than some of the newer ABS resin made models.

The choice is yours, but as experts we feel the lighter more durable, rust proof material of ABS resin is the direction central vacuum manufactures are heading.

Bad Central Vacuum Motor - Potential Fire Hazard

Our service technicians just came back from a service call. Our customer was complaining of an electrical smell after seeing sparks / flames shooting out of her central vacuum system. We advised her before arriving to unplug it immediately. Sometimes we are able to save the central vacuum motor but more than often it is safer to replace the motor or complete central vacuum unit.

We wound up installing a brand new DrainVac central vacuum system. The customer could not believe how much quieter and much more powerful her new vacuum was. She felt more comfortable to replace the system rather than repair the old one. The old system which she owned for over 15 years; a NuTone CV450 (no longer in production).

We went into great detail on how energy efficient these units are… not only will she be saving on electricity bills but, she will be cleaning the house much faster and with less effort.

Our customer initially complained that her original builder never gave her the option of selecting the central vacuum system herself. She felt that he just dumped the system because he got a good buy and claims it never really worked that good from the start.

She was extremely pleased with our fast service and job well done.

How does Ferrari make their cars more powerful?

In the car world, Ferrari is known as tops, the best. When you mention the name, it has a persona about itself knowing you'll be getting the best of the best.

We were told by Drainvac to keep this hush hush for months but being that they are now implementing them in their new machines we just can't keep quiet anymore. The specs of the new motor will be coming soon. We're waiting for data sheets to introduce the improved motor results we got a sneak peek at some of the changes and we were very impressed being in this business for so many years

Domel of Europe makes their motors just south of Germany in a country called Slovenia. Domel is one of the largest and oldest European motor manufacturers in the world. Domel has manufactured motors for the Sebo vacuum company of Germany, Miele vacuums of Germany, Wesselwerk of Europe attachment company and a host of all European vacuum companies that just need a motor in their application. They are renowned for their innovations and adapting to any application that is needed. These motors are designed with a life span average, between 22 and 30 years. With European engineering, there is no planned obsolescence built into any of their motors. Their motors are built to last many years with the latest and greatest materials incorporated into them. With triple the amount inventors/engineers backing them they are known in this central vacuum industry as one of the best there is.

Domel's philosophy is different than other motor manufacturing companies. They plan and build their motors to last, unlike other companies who plan an obsolete date of only a few years. Domels motors are world-renowned for their power, durability, and European craftsmanship which is how a real motor SHOULD be built. They don't make high airwatt/throwaway motors like their competitors do, all motors are designed to last a lifetime. That's what impresses us the most.

Getting back to the reason for the blog is to tell the world that the collaboration of Domel and the Drainvac corporation of Canada are coming out with a new and improved motor line up which will be the envy of the industry. Not only are their motors the finest made but like the header says how can they make a great thing even better? This is literally years in production. And new innovation materials. These new more powerful motors will be introduced within this month of May/June. More information will follow. No other manufacturer will be able to get these motors made especially for them for approx. a year to a year and a half. These are going to be a proprietary motor made just for this company.

As an added bonus, if you call up and mention this blog you get a $10 discount good for ANY model Drainvac or Purvac central vacuum!

New PowerStar Central Vacuums

PowerStar, one of the rock solid central vacuums in the industry - celebrating 50 years in the business - is now unveiling a new line of central vacuum units designed with superior quality in mind. The brand new UPS500A, UPS800A and UPS900A bring in better airwatts, better waterlift, and an extraordinary warranty to the masses. With a 15 year warranty on parts you can be assured these units were manufactured to last. It has a rock-solid steel body covered under a lifetime warranty. These canisters are constructed with an epoxy-coated paint making them heat resistant and rust proof. LED status indicator lights are strategically located for easy reading. These units produce alerts when maintenance is required. The extra large dirt capacity alleviates constant dirt disposal. These units can be used with a bag or bagless, however paper bags are preferred for easier, cleaner dirt removal.

Equipped with ergonomic clips and handles for the dirt receptacle and new stereo-type clips for wiring make your installation easy and hassle free. PowerStar has incorporated powerful Electro long-life motors for a high performance 25/30 year life expectancy.
