Central Vacuum Vs Stick Vacs
Weight - Central vacuum hoses are lighter than stick vacs and easier to maneuver
Suction - Central vacuum 500-800 + airwatts. Stick vacs 100-250 airwatts
Noise while vacuuming - Central vacuum 55-70db Stick vac 70-85db
Capacity - Central vacuum 15L (empty less often) + Stick Vac <1L
Air recirculation - Central vacuum removes 100% of air sucked up. Stick vacs 0%
Cost - From $1,800 total price installed (Auckland). Stick vac $1500
Lifetime - Central vacuum 15-25 years. Stick vac 2-3 years
I really appreciated the way the author organised the information. The content is well contextualised and easy to relate to practice. I have already forwarded this article to those working in the same field. It is an article that stands out for the quality of the information presented.
The article presents an interesting comparison between central vacuum systems and stick vacs, particularly highlighting aspects like suction and noise levels. It’s clear that central vacuums offer several advantages, especially in terms of capacity and lifetime. Just considering the long-term investment, one might find that the upfront cost of a central vacuum system could be justified by its durability and efficiency.
