Built-In Central Vacuum Systems
H-P's innovations began in 1955 with its introduction of the VACUFLO® True Cyclonic™ central vacuum system (required no bags or filters and exhausted outside). Since then, H-P has continually focused on product innovations and designs that make central vacs more affordable, more convenient and easier to install. Some of these insightful and popular product enhancements include lightweight in-wall plastic tubing, automatic inlet valves and lightweight flexible plastic hoses.
VACUFLO® Built-in Central Vacuum Systems
Since its introduction in 1955, VACUFLO has earned a worldwide reputation for quality products by expanding its presence in the U.S. and Canada, as well as exporting to new markets such as South America, Africa, Germany, Austria, Japan, Italy, Australia, Belgium and China.
Besides market expansion, VACUFLO products have continually evolved and expanded to meet the changing needs of a growing customer base. Product expansion has resulted in an exclusive line of VACUFLO True Cyclonic power units with premier performance motors, including a dual-motor model, and an extensive line of accessories and cleaning kits. To further accommodate and attract installations that are unable to exhaust outside, H-P Products introduced an entirely new line of Filtered Cyclonic™ power units in 2001.
Dirt Devil® Central Vacuum Systems
H-P Products holds an exclusive licensing agreement with Royal Appliance Manufacturing Company to use the Dirt Devil® and Dirt Devil® Platinum Force® names on central vacuum systems and accessories to be marketed by H-P Products through Building Supply Dealers and Distributors. Dirt Devil's® 98% brand name awareness coupled with H-P Products' central vacuum manufacturing expertise (since 1955), offer consumers a winning combination.
Central Vacuum Systems for RV's
In 1997, H-P introduced The Small Wonder, a central vacuum system for recreational vehicles. Today, H-P markets the Dirt Devil® CV950 offering more power and capacity to the RV user.
Turbine Products
In 1980, H-P Products, in partnership with Black & Decker, designed and introduced the first turbine-driven floor brush to the central vac industry - the TurboCat® Plus. This innovative power brush has continually been improved and updated throughout the years, and in 1991 received the prestigious Business Excellence Award for Design. In 1982, a smaller handheld version called the RugRat® was introduced. Today, H-P's turbine products are sold worldwide through dealer channels and to Original Equipment Manufacturers like Eureka and Beam.
