OVO PAK70DP-40 Heavy Duty Powerful Central Vacuum System, Hybrid Filtration (with or Without Disposable Bags) 35L or 9.25Gal, 700 Air watts with 40ft Deluxe Plus Accessory kit Included, Sliver

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.

I don't write many reviews, but this unit went up to replace a different model that was in our home when we moved in a couple of years ago. I thought the old unit was fine, but suction degraded, I checked it out and tried to fix it and simply could not. I hesitated to buy this vacuum because it seemed too good to be true, but finally gave in. When it arrived it was in great condition, well packaged and getting it out and ready to go on the wall went quickly. I simply removed the old mount, mounted the bracket and was ready to try and fit the existing pipes. Be sure you either have your pipes lined up, flex hoses ready to go or someone to tackle that for you - something many overlook. Luckily I had ordered the necessary parts and had everything running in less than an hour. The difference between our old unit (it was less than 10 years old) and this one was night and day. The increased suction when we powered it up pulled things from the pipes that had probably been stuck in there for years. The noise level almost had me forget connecting to the exhaust piping because it simply was not as loud as the old one when it was hooked up. Once fully connected up, I can have a conversation in my garage with the unit running. The ONLY drawback I see is there is no connection on the unit (just fix one in with the piping) or on/off switch on the unit. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase and I would definitely buy it again.

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.

The vac works as described. Much better suction than our 13 year old unit. Relatively easy to install. Wish the mounting bracket had holes in a vertical alignment so you could mount to one stud. Only reason not 5 stars is the grey cap on the top is very uneven. I don't think this is a functional problem but the unit is mounted on the wall near the entrance from the garage to the kitchen and I see it every time I go into the house. I will call them and see if there is a fix or if this will hurt long term. Otherwise, what a great vac. With the old one I could not go in the garage while it was running without earplugs. Now it is so quiet I can work in the garage while it is in use. I will add a pic when I figure out how to!

We have had ours for almost 2 years now and it works fantastic. We retrofitted to a previous system built in to our 30 year old home. So easy. No complaints. If you don’t have one, you are missing out!!!

Bought this complete central vac system from OVO for new lakefront cabin, and installing it was a breeze with the matching install kit. Had a Beam system in last home and this system is more powerful, much, much quieter and a very reasonable price of $837 complete. It is so quiet that the installation in our utility closet cannot be heard in other parts of cabin-the noise of the suction from the hose & handle is louder-awesome. And the support from the company in Quebec, Canada (thank you Catherine Roux) was great-one minor piece failed during install and they shipped replacement immediately, arrived fast and now working. The added bonus is that it is manufactured in Canada, NOT China. Highly recommend for new construction or retrofit of other brands, most of which are made in China. Great product at a great price

I am a master electrician for about 35 years and run my own company. I am also a central vac installer. I want to warn any person considering this unit that the terminals are not good. I spent more time trying to connect the two low voltage wires that I did installing the whole unit. The clips are spring loaded and immediately fell apart. Definately do not buy

I received the vacuum system to replace a 10 year old nutone system that died. Before replacing, I tried nutone customer service and got the cold shoulder. I looked into the part cost if I tried it without their help and found that replacing with a new OVO system would cost me about the same as replacing a couple suspect parts on the nutone. The unit arrived very well packaged in two days. I don't think even the mail system could damage it with how well it was packaged. Installation took me about 1 1/2 hours. I had to move the piping since the old unit had input on the side and the OVO has the input on the top but that is relatively easy. Directions provided were clear though they were not really even needed due to how simple it is. First impressions were very good using the vac. The suction is much, much better than my old system. However, I did find that the system would stop after running for awhile and start back up on it's own. I got ahold of OVO customer service on a Friday night. Amazingly, they responded right away. After talking with them we determined that the issue was in the low voltage. We checked the unit and found no issues. We found the issue in my old nutone hose. Resistance was high in the slip ring for the low voltage. I cleaned and adjusted the slip ring and now it works perfectly. The on/off circuit in the OVO must be more sensitive than the nutone. OVO customer service followed up, even on a Saturday. I highly recommend this product and company. I'm buying a new set of OVO accessories as well!

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

Bought this to replace a 20 yr old beam after doing quite a bit of research. Suction is much better on this unit than what we had before, and comparable to much more expensive units (you can look up which ones use the same motor). Installation was quite easy and just required a bit of pipe/fittings to hook up the existing piping to the unit (fyi, intake is on the top, exhaust is on the left side of the unit if looking at it from the front). The mounting bracket was really easy to install as was the electrical (plug into wall socket + connect two wires from existing system into the unit). Overall it took around 1 hour to get the old unit out and this one in. Suction is very good, noise level as well (quieter than our old one (edit: A LOT quieter) but a lot more powerful... And our old unit had an external muffler!). Having the suction come on gradually is likely going to make the motor last a bit longer and the extra time it runs after you shut it off (about 3seconds) are nice to make sure the hose is empty of debris. It does take a bit of getting used to as it still runs a bit when you shut it off but i really like the feature. The warranty on this unit is 10 years but 1 year for parts and labour but we got a pamphlet in the box selling an extension on the parts and labour to 10 years for 50$ so that might be worth it for some. The manual does state that the motor will need servicing at 500 hours (typical for these types of vacuums i think) but that should be quite a bit more than 10 years of use. As for the accessory kit (we bought the carpet+deluxe 30ft) it was quite an upgrade from the existing ones we had. The hose is a lot less stiff and allows us to go a bit further than before. It does seem quite resistant though. For those wondering, it is not just and on/off switch on the hose but vacuum/off/vacuum+beater 3-way switch. The accessories are very nice brushes and don't seem too abrasive. Everything clicks or fits in nicely, the suction bypass is well built and out of the way. I was impressed with the build quality. As for the carpet beater it is a Johnny Vac model PN33 (brush on/off foot-button on the beater itself), can be locked at 90 degrees (upright), 6 depth adjustments and has a good range of motion in terms of tilting left/right, forward/back. The only improvement i would like is a better indication of what depth level to use (the descriptions are for level 1 and 6 and quite vague so you kind of guess where it should be). One small detail, i did not receive the accessory bag but i'm not even sure I want/need it so not a big deal for me, i may contact them if i make up my mind. Overall great vacuum/hose/accessory combo, much less expensive than comparable models (and less than half price compared to them with the amazon prime deal!). I even suggested my parents buy the hose/accessory combo to replace their old ones.

Finally installed the unit (renovations take forever), and I am very pleased with it's performance. Seems to be very powerful yet quiet. The 2 second delay on start/stop takes a bit of getting used to, but is actually a very good idea, as it gives the unit time to clear the inlet before shutting down. A couple of dislikes: 1. There is no inlet (for a hose) on the unit itself. I was expecting one and had planned the inlets in my house accordingly. It will be easy enough to add one in the mechanical room with the unit, but it would have been nice to have it already available on the unit itself. 2. The metal extension pieces do not fit together properly. There is a button on the top end that is supposed to click into a hole on the receiving end, but they do not meet up. Consequently the extension pieces do not stay together properly. This is a major flaw. I have not had time to look at how to resolve this problem.

So fat so good. First was DOA had to return it for exchange. Got the new one two days later. The new one works great so far. Lots of suction. And fairly quiet. Compared to my previous one (Sears KenMoore)
