Which is the right model for your house?

When selecting the perfect central vacuum unit for a house, it is generally wise to halve the manufacturer's square footage recommendations. This approach is based on several reasons, with the primary one being that having more cleaning power is always beneficial. Next, the cost isn't more more, especially considering a lifespan of more than a decade.

Tangential Bypass vs Flow Through Motors

Tangential-Bypass Motors are an exceptional choice when it comes to high-quality central vacuum motors. These motors, although slightly pricier than flow-through and peripheral-bypass motors, offer unmatched durability and superior performance. All of our in-stock vacuum units have this type of motor, except for the SR38.


One of the key advantages of Tangential-Bypass Motors lies in their ingenious design, specifically engineered to redirect the hot air out of the motor chamber. This innovative feature not only ensures optimal functionality but also significantly extends the lifespan of these motors. By effectively managing the heat generated during operation, Tangential-Bypass Motors outshine their counterparts in terms of longevity, making them a worthwhile investment for those seeking a long-lasting central vacuum unit.


Moreover, when it comes to power, Tangential-Bypass Motors are second to none. In fact, in many instances, a single-motor tangential bypass motor can match or even surpass the power output of a dual-motor vacuum unit with flow-through motors. This remarkable power allows these motors to tackle even the most demanding cleaning tasks with ease and efficiency. With a Tangential-Bypass Motor at the heart of your central vacuum unit, you can confidently bid farewell to subpar suction and hello to a truly powerful cleaning experience.


In conclusion, while Tangential-Bypass Motors may come with a slightly higher price tag, their exceptional durability and impressive power make them the ideal choice for those seeking a top-notch central vacuum unit. With their ability to redirect hot air and their unparalleled performance, these motors are a testament to engineering excellence. Upgrade to a Vacumaid® central vacuum unit today and elevate your cleaning routine to a whole new level of efficiency and longevity.
