Eureka Central Vacuums

Pros And Cons

They provide a startling difference to those used to more conventional systems.

With the motor well away from the user, vacuuming is actually quiet.

Without lugging the motor around, the hose and wand are almost sinfully light and easy to maneuver.

Since there is no need to compromise power against weight, the systems can be very powerful.

The drawbacks are the trouble with installing a system into an existing house, depending on the design and whether you are capable of doing the work yourself.

The more expensive systems can also cost a high amount compared to conventional systems, though again this depends on installation costs and which version you need.

Another concern is that while you can use just about any size vacuum cleaner in any size house, a central system requires enough suction to reach the whole house, which will enforce minimum sizes for a given size house.

Eureka central vacuum systems are especially attractive to those who have allergies or other sensitivities to air quality, and those who desire to do their own housework but who have trouble with heavy vacuum cleaners or who don’t want to constantly empty the bucket more than a couple of times a year.

It isn’t unusual for a company to produce very similar systems with a great disparity in price, so pay attention to warranty, price, availability and service.

Perhaps the best way to measure effectiveness is "waterlift." This refers to how much water the system could support with the suction power. However, this is a measurement of pressure, and the systems are not intended to operate in the wet.

Prices And Recommended Eureka Central Vacuum Cleaner Systems

Prices for the Eureka central vacuum cleaner line range from about $600 to about $1500, though for the lowest price the smallest system that can cover the whole house, ducting, sockets, hose and powerhead can be purchased for perhaps $400, if you can install it yourself.

Currently the most expensive (around $900) alternative among Eureka central vacuums is the Eureka CV1820G The Boss All-in-one Central Vac Kit.

It has 115” lifting power, is intended for homes up to 3500 sq. ft. and comes with everything needed for a typical installation including a full assortment of nozzles.

The next of the Eureka central vacuums is the Eureka CV1004B Single Stage Central Vac System, which is just the central motor and those items that directly connect to it, but not the gear needed to service the house.

This system is currently priced around $225 and has an 88” lift while serving a 2500 sq. ft. house.

Take a look at the Eureka CV137H Central Vacuum System Power Unit too.

This is just the motor system, but it is a powerful unit that has a 123” water lift and services a 6500 sq. ft. house that retails on Amazon for $343.
