Central vacuums save your time and energy through convenient cleaning without having to drag a heavy piece of equipment around your house. But all central vacs are not made the same. Below we look at three great models you will want in your home.
Electrolux 4B-H403 Honeywell
The Electrolux model on our list of three great central vacuums certainly measures up to the brand’s longstanding history as one of the best vacuum cleaner manufacturers. As our top choice, the Honeywell 4B-H403 features 500 air watts of power at 120 volts with its 13.7A dual-stage motor. Like other Electrolux models, you can expect this one to last. It is durable, made of heavy-duty steel. Its motor protection system also ensures it is long-lasting.
The vacuum’s motor provides 110 inches of suction to power through cleaning your 3000 square feet of space. It also features a HEPA triumph air filter that self-cleans, taking another bit of drudgery out of your common floor-cleaning chores. The machine features a mounting bracket that helps you secure it to the wall.
Besides all of these great features, the unit is quiet. You will not wake your sleeping baby in the next room, despite its heavy-duty power. This quiet is thanks to noise-reduction technology.

- Heavy-duty steel body

Hoover L2310 GUV ProGrade Garage Wall-Mounted Utility Vacuum
Along with Electrolux, Hoover is one of the brands to choose for your home vacuuming. The Hoover L2310 costs surprisingly less than most central vacs and provides a great budget option despite coming from one of the best vacuum manufacturers. But this model is best for garage use to clean your garage, workspace, or vehicles.
Despite being tough enough for rough cleaning that the garage usually entails, this space-saving unit easily mounts to a wall, gets into the smallest spaces of your car or truck, and requires no special wiring, piping or venting. You simply plug and play, so to speak. The unit also features a 30-foot crush-proof hose.
The Hoover garage vac offers a 10-amp, 120-volt motor with strong suction, yet quiet operation. You can even clean up screws, broken glass, and nails with this durable model. But thanks to an array of seven easily attached tools, you can easily clean crevices, tight spots, wide floor spaces, your vehicle dashboard, and delicate upholstery.
Built for long-lasting use common to the Hoover name, the vacuum features a five-gallon canister constructed of heavy-duty steel with a permanent self-cleaning filter. That cuts even more costs from your budget. To clean the canister, you only need to unclamp it from the unit, empty it, and clamp it back in place.
Features of the Hoover L2310 GUV ProGrade Garage Wall-Mounted Utility Vacuum include:
- 30-foot crush-proof hose
- Seven attachment tools
- 10 amp, 120-volt motor
- Five-foot power cord
- Five-gallon tank
- Three years limited warranty
- Permanent self-cleaning filter
- Requires no venting or piping
Prolux CV12000
Prolux has long focused on giving consumers the quality they want. This quality comes from extensive research and development as part of the product design process. So if you want bang for your buck, the Prolux is our favorite model for delivering quality at a great price.
As one of the most powerful central vacs you can find, the Prolux CV12000 features a 150 CFM dual-stage motor. The unit works as well in a small home as one with well over 10,000 square feet of space. You can expect the durability typical to the brand, such as through the vacuum’s powder-coated steel body.
With three filtration levels and a bagless dirt chamber, you clear your home of dirt and debris with little fuss. The CV12000 also boasts a micron pre-filter and a HEPA filter, cutting out home allergens along with common dirt and dust.
Getting into nooks and crannies are no problem with the model’s accompanying accessory kit. With the vacuum comes a selection of tools, including two accessory caddies, four deluxe attachments, and an electric power nozzle to use on carpets. With a generous 30-foot hose and two-speed switches, you easily stay in control of your cleaning agenda.
