The most important decision you have to make when deciding on a central vacuum system is the tool set. Often times the builder or customer chooses the motor unit and then not even bother with knowing what type of attachments the system will have. Livng in Peoria, Normal, Bloomington, Champaign, Edwards, Goodfield, Carlock or anywhere in central Illinois, you can have all types of floors and carpet styles. A lot of homes now have mostly hard floors with just a room or two carpets.
However that room or two of carpets will never be cleaned properly if you primarily focus on the hard floors. Making it more complicated is that the most popular carpet pile of today is frieze carpeting. It is often described as most like the shag carpets of the ’70’s. Without a motorized power nozzle with a manual height adjustment, this carpet can not be cleaned properly and it can be damaged by those who run too low into the carpet.
Choose the right tool set
As an example, here is a video that shows the tremendous deep cleaning performance on carpets when choosing the right tool set for your home. A competitor of ours pushes air-driven nozzles that grooms the carpet pile but creates very little agitation. Our Elite tool set and American Dream tool set has the best motorized power nozzle that cleans deep down, much higher performance than our competitor.

This is the best tool set for those who have all hard floors like: hardwood, tile, laminate, granite…etc and may have low pile area rugs over the floors. Excellent bare floor tool with a air-driven turbo nozzle that grooms the carpet with a gentle combing action. Hair and lint on top surface of carpet or rug is picked up best with a revolving brush and this tool set has it. Air-driven means that the suction of the central vacuum motor unit turns a turbine fan in the nozzle that turns the revolving brush with a belt. This will not deep down clean a pile carpet or will not satisfy those who want agitation to loosen embedded dirt from a carpet pile.

“I want to thank you for counseling me on my powerhead purchase. I’ve only used it once but I love my new Riccar!!
After my purchase this morning, I came home and emptied my dirt receptacle. Then ran the Riccar relatively quickly over my carpet. I am AMAZED at how much it picked up that my old powerhead was missing. I’d show you a photo of the evidence, if I wasn’t so embarrassed at how much was left in my carpet by my old Beam Rugmaster Plus. WOW!!”

Alexis from Texas said “I actually made the purchase because my family has been shopping with you for about 15 years. My mother bought her Riccar Fur-Get-It attachment from you and was pleased with it, recommended it to me. So much so, that I had it shipped to the Austin Texas area where my husband and I now live. Pricing and shipping charges were more than reasonable, so I think I would probably buy my next vacuum from you and would recommend your shop to anyone I know that might be in need who is still in the Bloomington/Normal area.”
