## Description

The Imperium CV280 is an all steel central vacuum power unit made of galvannealed steel. Galvannealed steel is made by combining the process of galvanization and annealing.

The powerful, flo-thru motor is manufactured by Ametek-Lamb, the folks that have been putting motors in the very best central vacuum systems for years. No central vacuum system on the market today can give you this kind of performance and value for your money. With 561 AirWatts, the Imperium CV280 is powerful enough for homes up to 3500 square feet.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2 years old and very pleased with the unit
*by H***K on December 4, 2013*

Have used this for almost 2 years now.Great workhorse. Easy to install and very easy and clean bag changes.I bought the reducers to use regular schedule 40 PVC pipe. Its a very good idea.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly powerful!!
*by S***Y on July 31, 2010*

I bought the CV280 to replace a 20 year old, 2 motor Filtex central vac power unit. Our old unit was awesome, the suction was unbelievable and I was expecting to have a hard time replacing it with something affordable but just as powerful. I did tons of research online and decided on the Imperium CV280. Really, it sounded too good to be true for the price. Boy was I wrong, it not only lived up to my expectations, but surpassed them!! This thing is powerful!! We have a 2000 sq.ft home and this unit has more than enough power. It almost has too much! The brush attachment almost gets stuck to the floor the suction is so strong. My mother-in-law just built a house and bought a $500 Hoover central vac and it barely works better than her broom. This is a great product at an amazing price!!Update: Almost 8 years later and still works like a dream. Never had a problem with it. Highly recommend!

### ⭐ Wire up the garage inlet before attaching to vacuum (with short stub wires)
*by C***R on December 1, 2017*

Great replacement for my dead Nutone. Stronger motor, very simple bag replacement.The only dislike: The "garage inlet" has to be installed separately. The instructions are mediocre. They should tell you to wire up the garage inlet with short wire stubs over a table.,The contact fingers and their tiny springs are likely to fall out when you are connecting the low-voltage activator wires.Update: Motor dead after 5 years. First it started sounding hig pitched, like an angry tiefighter. The relay still clicks but motor does not run. I have to take it apart to troubleshoot, see if I can get a new motor for it or what... The previous Nutone lasted 17years, so this is disappointing.
