Cleaner Indoor Air with Dirt Devil®
How safe, clean and pure is the air is in your home? Most people take their home's air for granted and assume it is safe, clean and breathable. Yet indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air, due to today's more tightly sealed housing construction, synthetic building materials and furnishings, and chemically formulated household products. Most people spend 90% of their time indoors. Poor indoor air quality can impact health, safety and comfort — especially in children and the elderly. Dirt Devil® eliminates 100% of vacuumed dirt, dust and allergens, so you can live in a healthier home with cleaner indoor air. Cleaner Indoor Air with Dirt Devil®

Dirt Devil® eliminates 100% of vacuumed dirt, dust and allergens, creating a healthier home.

Dirt Devil®’s Platinum Force® units offer homeowners healthy choices for healthier homes, regardless of their size, design or venting preference.

Dirt Devil® Platinum Force® Vacuum Power Units

 

Dirt Devil Platinum Force Canisters

Dirt Devil® Platinum Force® power units feature Cyclonic Filtration Technology® (CFT™), a unique dual filtration process that utilizes cyclonic separation for primary filtration and a pleated filter for secondary filtration. Unlike central vacuum systems that rely on permanent cloth filters, the powerful performance of Dirt Devil® will not decrease as dirt accumulates.

Live in a Cleaner, Healthier Home

  • On-board canister inlet valve promotes cyclonic cleaning power.
  • Replaceable filter provides optimum filtration and system performance.
  • Clear, comfort-grip dirt canister is easy to handle.
  • Powerful, high-performance motor delivers reliable, lasting performance.
  • Whole-house cleaning versatility with a wide selection of cleaning kits and accessories.

MaxAir® True Cyclonic Central Vacuum

 

MaxAir Canister

MaxAir True Cyclonic Central Vacuum Systems are designed for convenient whole-house cleaning for homes up to 22,000 sq. ft. MaxAir separates dirt from the air using dual motors that work together for 100% removal of all vacuumed dirt debris.

MaxAir leaves nothing behind but fresh air.
When you vacuum with portable vacuums, you will often notice that odors and dust particles remain in the air or that vacuum power decreases as dirt accumulates. MaxAir's dual motor design creates a high-efficiency air stream that removes 100% of vacuumed dirt, dust and odors from your home. And unlike portables, MaxAir comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, to ensure worry- free cleaning year after year.

MaxAir delivers better Indoor Air Quality.
Polluted indoor air contributes to 50% of all illnesses, according to the US EPA. The extreme vacuum power of MaxAir doesn't just clean carpet and drapes. It keeps the air you breathe clean as well.

MaxAir systems aren't seen – or heard.
MaxAir systems transport all vacuumed dirt and dust particles through a network of in-wall tubing directly to the power unit, which is typically located in a basement, garage, crawlspace or utility room, so noise levels are kept low throughout the living areas.

Cyclonic Filtration Technology® (CFT™) provides maximum cleaning power
Dirt Devil® features Cyclonic Filtration Technology® (CFT™) is a dual filtration process that removes 100% of the vacuumed dirt from the living area. For primary filtration, CFT uses Cyclonic Separation, a process that removes 96-98% of the dirt from the air stream without the use of bags and filters. The remaining fine dust particles (less than 5%) are trapped in the high-performance filter. Unlike central vacuum systems that rely on permanent cloth filters, the powerful performance of Dirt Devil® will not decrease as dirt accumulates.

 

 

CFT is an exclusive dual filtration process designed to deliver maximum cleaning power every time you vacuum. CFT begins with Cyclonic Separation to remove dirt, dust and allergens from the incoming air stream without bags or filters. Cyclonic Separation starts the moment vacuumed dirt enters the power unit from the intake. As the dirt-laden air begins a downward descent, it spirals along the inside of the unit, picking up speed and forcing 96-98% of the vacuumed dirt into the dirt canister. The remaining fine dust particles are pulled upward with the airflow and are trapped in a high-efficiency pleated filter cartridge. Less than 5% of the vacuumed dirt is exposed to the filter and only clean air is left to exit the power unit exhaust.

Versus Permanent Cloth Filter System

  • Cleaning performance decreases quickly as the permanent cloth filter becomes clogged with dirt.
  • Airflow forces 100% of all vacuumed dirt directly against the permanent cloth filter – no cyclonic air path or separation is achieved. The result is dirtier filters for greater clogging potential and less vacuum power.
  • Debris is not released from the permanent cloth filter until the vacuum system is turned off. This helps to unclog the filter, but a dirt film remains – reducing original performance.
  • Permanent cloth filter systems can not be restored to like new condition once dirt and dust are embedded in the filter. Coatings like GORE-TEX® and Teflon® help reduce embedded dirt, but do not eliminate it.

Hide-A-Hose System
Hide-A-Hose makes your central vacuum system more convenient. You'll never have to move or store bulky hoses again. Up to 50 feet of hose are concealed within the wall until you need it. The sustained airflow and vacuum power of Dirt Devil®'s Cyclonic Filtration Technology® (CFT™) automatically retracts the hose when you're finished vacuuming.

Dirt Devil Hide-A-Hose

 

  • The vacuum hose is stored inside the wall, enclosed within the system's vacuum tubing when not in use.
  • Pull out the length of hose you need, connect the remote-controlled handle and begin vacuuming. One 50 foot hose can cover 1,800–2,200 square feet.
  • When you finish, the suction from your Dirt Devil® power unit pulls the hose back into the wall and out of sight. Then you simply carry your handle to the next inlet and repeat the process.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
There are many measurements manufacturers might use to assess their vacuum system’s performance. But, what does it really mean?

Amps represents the amount of electrical current consumed by the motor during use. The implication is that the more electricity the motor uses, the more powerful it is. This is not necessarily true. A motor that uses more electrical current does not always mean the current is being used more efficiently.

Horsepower measures the power of a motor. Horsepower can vary according to voltages, motor loads and temperature variances, and is not an accurate measure of how well a vacuum system will pick up dirt.

Sealed Suction measures the maximum suction generated by the motor without airflow. Because vacuum cleaners rely on airflow to clean effectively, high sealed suction without airflow will not clean anything.

CFM is the maximum volume of airflow measured in Cubic Feet Per Minute. Maximum CFM ratings occur when the vacuum system is operating without restrictions to airflow. In normal vacuuming conditions, hoses, cleaning attachments, bags, filters and accumulated dust create restrictions to airflow, reducing CFM. Therefore, CFM alone is not a good indicator of vacuum cleaning performance.

Maximum Air Watts represent the air power delivered by the power unit. CFM and Sealed Suction are combined to represent actual vacuum cleaning power. Maximum Air Watts is recognized by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) as the best way to measure the actual cleaning power of a vacuum system.

Sustained Cleaning Power is the ability to maintain Maximum Cleaning Power over time. Cyclonic Separation, used in all systems from H-P Products, delivers the highest sustained cleaning performance because the dirt is removed from the airflow without restriction.
