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 VacPan

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.

Redeﬁning the

Central Vac System

Snap, drop, discard.

On bagless cyclonic models, remove the debris canister in just a few seconds. Undo the two snap closures and whisk it away. Filter cleaning and replacement is a breeze.

Convenient…

NuTone’s Central Vac Power Units feature a new sleek design allowing it to mount closely

against the wall so you can make the most of your space. The revolutionary internal sound

suppression system provides a much quieter performance. And, for added convenience,

we’ve included a status light on the hose handle and power unit which indicates when the

VX™ unit’s bag or canister is full and needs emptying.

Powerful…

Our new motor designs have up to 5 times more cleaning power than conventional

vacuums. Select the model that best ﬁts your home size – with our single unit VX1000

providing enough power to clean a home up to 12,000 square feet. And with better

ﬁltration, you won’t just be spreading the dust around. Microscopic dust particles are

exhausted to the exterior of your home, unlike conventional vacuums.

Warranty…

NuTone offers one of the best in the industry. The VX475 models have a 2-year warranty,

VX550 models a 4-year warranty and the VX1000 models come with a full 8-year

warranty on the Power Unit.

Finally, don’t discard your old attachments. Your current accessories can be used with our

new VX Power Units. Or, keep it as a spare kit close at hand in your workshop, hobby room

or garage when you require those quick clean ups!

Accurate bag-full or tank-full lights.

Progressive status indicator lights tell you in a glance when to change the bag or empty the debris basin. Bagged models feature a true “bag-full” light and shut down automatically to avoid rupturing the bag.

Clean quietly.

Noise is suppressed better than ever before. Our revolutionary new internal sound suppression system deadens sound. No external mufﬂer is required! What’s more, our new quick-mount installation brackets minimize vibration.

Convenient installation.

Left- or right-hand intake ports simplify new or retroﬁt installations. The slim proﬁle lets the tank ﬁt in tight corners.
