Does your loud vacuum cleaner cause stress for you and your family? Do you feel you must sacrifice cleaning power for a quiet vacuum cleaner?
Not any longer!
NuTone’s® Central Vacuum System is the quietest and most powerful cleaning system that does more than clean floors. It enhances your home’s environment by improving indoor air quality and reducing noise while providing exceptionally clean carpets and other surfaces. Now cleaning can be accomplished while the baby is sleeping or the family is enjoying their favorite television show.
NuTone’s Central Vacuum System is a quick, effective and quiet way to remove dust and allergens from your home with minimal effort.
More Cleaning Power
Up to five times more powerful than upright and canister systems, NuTone central vacuum systems pull more dirt and dust out of the house and exhausts it outside of your home.
Better Dust Filtration
Dirt and dust are captured inside the Power
Unit – away from living areas.With HEPA® filtration, anti-stick technology and Microban®
antimicrobial coatings, dust and bacteria are trapped in the bag.
Built-in Convenience
The lightweight hose is all you have to carry upstairs or from room to room. No heavy canister or upright vacuum to lug around. And, the handy VacPanTM makes small clean ups in the kitchen a breeze.
Quiet Performance
The internal sound suppression system reduces noise disturbance. In addition, with the power unit mounted in the basement, garage or utility area, the noise is away from your living area.
Good Investment
Increase the resale value of your home without investing much more than the cost of a portable vacuum.
