OVO Powerful Central Vacuum System - Heavy Duty Central Vac With Hybrid Filtration - 35L or 9.25Gal - 700 Airwatts Power Unit - OVO-700ST-35H

Excellent: facile a installer. Très puissant, silencieux. Support et Service après vente excellent.

I was a little wary making this purchase with only one review. I called the company (based in Quebec, Canada), left a message for them to call me. They called back the next day. They told me they had been making vacuums for “big brands” for 40+ years and recently launched under their own named brand - Ovo. There is a 10 yr warranty on the unit. Ok, I was sold. It arrived in about a week. I was replacing a 20 year old Hayden SuperVac 3600. My house is 4000 sq.ft., so the original vacuum was never strong enough for my house. The unit was very easy to install. The supplied bracket works well. I had to modify the central vacuum PVC tubing since the Ovo has the input on the top of the unit. The new Ovo is rated for up to 7000sq ft. It has extremely strong suction. However, it is very quiet. The central vacuum canister is mounted in the garage - it is very quiet too. I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend to friends.

Unit was very well packaged. Amazon box. Product Box with large styrofoam blocks top and bottom as well as in the middle of canister. I had an issue with the upper cover loose and missing screw on vacuum mount which I located in upper canister. Decided to resolve myself and contacted supplier with photos. They responded within two days and were concerned and resolved my concerns. It’s powerful, quiet. I read reviews complaining about no utility outlet. I ordered one. It is available on Amazon and from supplier, OVO Nadair. It is OVO Kit-INSV-01 utility valve kit. Consists of the utility valve port, a wye PVC connector and a length of low voltage wire. Install on top, the suction inlet, with a short stub 2” PVC vacuum pipe to suction inlet and the riser pipe to the system connects on top of Wye. Easy. The low voltage wires are screwed on utility port and clipped into the speaker type spring connectors of side of canister. Unit has soft start run and when hose is removed from vacuum port, the unit will continue to run for a few seconds to allow debris to discharge into the filter. I like the soft start feature. The Center filter bag is quite long. It is washable. The suction port is on top of vacuum and drops into lower canister and terminates in a 90 degree elbow with the tapered, raised, ridged neck sleeve to accept and lock the filter bag flange hole universal to many vacuums. Easy install. You can use the vacuum without the bag but the center, washable filter must be used at all times as the air travels upward , through filter and into the vacuum two stage blades. The upper canister is pressurized by vacuum motor exhaust and blows air out the side port. Inside the upper canister is the vacuum unit suspended by four posts and a rubber grommet with very flexible sealing flange. The inner walls have a foam surround further deadening noise. The control module is nested on one side. It consists of low voltage power supply with run relay, soft start circuitry, time delay circuitry. It is protected by a sheet metal cover that also acts as a heat sink. There is an overload reset button on side of canister and a green run LED. The vacuum motor is 1525 watts. 140” water lift. 700 air watts. It is an Ametek vacuum motor. 5.7” diameter, two stage impellers. On the Nadair website besides vacuum units and accessories were ultra thin LED lamps of many varieties. Amazon sells these as well. Good to know. It’s worth checking it out. Reasonable prices and quite a selection of trims and styles. The low profile will solve many lighting issues people have. Amazon carries quite a selection of OVO Nadair led units. I read all the reviews before my purchase. Customer support is there. They responded to me with care. This has been my experience and that is why I gave five stars despite the issue I had. Communication, reasonable care resolves many issues. Customer support is key to success.

This is a very powerful vacuum. I'm a "do it your self-er" and was sure I could handle replacing our Central Vacuum unit which finally gave up the ghost after 45 years (well done!). We didn't need new accessories or beater heads so this unit made sense at a great price. Read reviews and popped the order. Unit arrived well packaged and damage free. Removed old unit and proceeded to install the OVO. There were no installation instructions. None. There were none on their website either. Our old unit had it's inlet on the side of the canister and the exhaust on the top of the unit. Assuming that all central vacs follow about the same format I proceeded to hook it up. Bad assumption. It was blowing instead of sucking. I had connected the inlet and outlet backwards. Re-plumbed it correctly and fired it up. The machine has a soft start and stop feature so the power fades in rather than receiving full amperage at startup, which saves the motor. Nice feature. The unit is ULTRA QUIET. Our old unit was ridiculously loud. Standing right next to this running unit you could carry on a conversation w/o raising your voice. Quiet good !! Now for the suction. Wholly Crap. Amazing suction. I've never seen anything like it. Compared to a Dyson, well , there is no comparison. It's probably 15 times as powerful as a Dyson or any other regular vac that you can think of. My wife was ecstatic. Once you figure out which tube is an and out, installation is a cinch. Unit is made by nice Canadians who return calls. I wholeheartedly recommend this Central Vacuum.

If I had tried it out in a store, I might have picked a lower power model. This one is unbelievably powerful (especially compared to our 40-year old broken one). I think we'll like it. It is hard to appreciate how quiet it runs, because of the powerful whooshing of air being sucked into the hose as you vacuum. Installation was easy. But note the 36" flex hose that Amazon recommended I buy with it, was not ideal. Apparently there is a different flex hose that is Ovo branded and comes in 2 pieces and importantly also includes hose clamps and needed pvc fittings. Save yourself a trip to the hardware store and get THAT flex hose. It was very well packaged. It arrived in a box that was totally beaten-up and taped back together, but the vacuum inside was fine.
