Central Vacuum: Made in the USA

Last year we shot this picture of the grandkids in their Fourth of July regalia.  At Central Vacuum Stores we feel very strongly about our Made in the USA central vacuum systems.  I decided to repost my blog from last year, because it says it all...

From the archives:  July 4, 2011:

Each and everyone of these kids are the real deal, genuine, Made in the U.S.A.  Well, actually, that is not entirely true.  You see, Great Grandpa Chris was from Italy, and Great Grandma Sally was from Russia.  The Parsons were from Canada, the Hendry's from Scotland...and, well...you get the idea.  I guess you might say the grandkids were just Assembled in the U.S.A.

Everyone knows these days that almost nothing is made entirely in the U.S.A.  We all understand that our Made in the U.S.A. cars, central vacuums, etc. are assembled from products and raw materials brought to America from across the globe.  We appreciate, however, what the Made in the U.S.A. label means.  It means jobs to American workers at a time when we need jobs.  It means revenue to American companies at a time when we need to be supporting American businesses.  I'm not an isolationist, but I know the benefits our economy reaps from Made in the U.S.A products.

At Central Vacuum Stores we carry a variety of brands.  Some are made in Canada, some in China, some in Mexico, and we stand behind them all.  They are all great products or we would not carry them.  We know that trade is good, too!  But on Independence Day we like to talk about our Made in the U.S.A central vacuum sytems.   Vacu-Maid, Vacuflo, Royal, Valet, AstroVac, Silent Partner, and our own Imperium brand are all made right here in the U.S.A., bringing jobs and revenue to Americans, at a time when we need it.

We also have a 4th of July shipping special good through Monday.  FREE SHIPPING on all products over $17.76.  Just use the coupon code 1776.  This offer is only good in the lower 48 states.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commercial Cart Vacuum for Industrial Applications

Lindsay Mfg has been manufacturing central vacuum systems in the United States for almost 60 years.  We have found their products to be of high quality, reliable, and powerful.  Last year they began offering a unique product called the Cart Vac.  The Commercial Cart Vacuum has all the power of a central vacuum system, but it is on a portable cart, allowing the user to move it from place to place.

The CartVac PCV1000 uses a large, commercial-grade, 8.4" diameter, single stage, tangential, 120 volt and 15amp motor. Joining this motor with the CartVac's large capacity cyclonic dirt separator, HEPA filtration and all metal construction guarantees you a powerful system for many years to come. The primary separator has an incredible 37 quart (9.25 gallon) capacity. The secondary filter is a 27 quart (6.75 gallon), 6-layer HEPA type disposable bag. Look at the detailed unit specifications below and look here to learn more about the Vacu-Maid CartVac now.

Product Review: Vacu-Maid Central Vacuum P-225P

Today I was working on updating some info on the website, and I thought our readers would be interested in reading about the Vacu-Maid P-225P central vacuum system

These units are powerhouses and the features are unlike any other units on the market.  First, they are made right here in the USA by LIndsay Manufacturing in Ponca City, Oklahoma.  Lindsay has been manufacturing central vacuum systems since 1956 and they have become a major player in the central vacuum industry.  This central vac systems is a pure cyclonic which means you never lose power as the dirt canister fills.  Also, the Vacu-Maid P-225P is a split unit, which means the dirt canister and motor pod are two separate items.  This way you can place the dirt canister close by for easy emptying and the motor pod can be farther away to reduce the noise. 

The P-225P is made of galvanealled steel with a special powder coating that resists corrosion for the life of the central vacuum. The motor on the Vacu-Maid P225P is a heavy duty Ametek Lamb motor.  There are really too many feature to mention, so check out all the specs for the Vacu-Maid P-225P on our website or call us at 1-800-221-8227 for more information.  Also, while you are there, be sure to watch the video explaining the sealed motors used in cyclonic central vacuum systems. There is a lot of misinformation about these motors, and Faith, our staff engineer, discusses the tangential by-pass motor these units use.
