Zuum By Eureka

New central vac platform breaks mold for style, innovation, power

Vacuum dealers have long wanted to offer customers an innovative central vacuum system that combines style, cleaning power, quiet performance and intuitive functionality. Now they have it with the Zuum™ Z-series Central Vacuum System by Eureka®.

Zuum Central Vacuum Systems are the result of more than $1 million of market research and design and engineering investments around high-air watts flow-through motors that operate quieter, run cooler and are more efficient than competitive systems. As a result, Zuum Central Vacuum Systems deliver more power to the inlet valves, achieving a higher standard of deep cleaning that consumers desire. Packaged in a sleek deco-style power unit, Zuum Z-Series Central Vacuum Systems also offer an attractive addition to any home.

"The Zuum Z-Series offers a golden opportunity for our vacuum dealer customers to ramp up their business with a unique product line that looks sharp, delivers outstanding performance and carries a brand that dealers and consumers trust," said Paul Zeman, vice president of Allied National, one of the top vacuum product distributors in the U.S.

Superior Cleaning
Unlike other central vacuum systems that use a portion of their power to cool the motor, Zuum Z-series Central Vacuum Systems' flow-through motors delivers up to 640 air watts of cleaning power inside the living area. The systems are so reliable, the motors and electrical components are backed with one of the best warranties in the industry -- seven years for Models I, II and III and 10 years for Models IV and V.

Quiet Performance
Zuum Central Vacuum Systems' motor design and integrated sound suppression assure quiet operation without an external muffler.

Healthier Indoor Air
Each Zuum Central Vacuum System includes an internal Triumph HEPA filter that traps 99.97 percent of captured dust and allergens, keeping dust away from the motor. The True HEPA filtration assures maximum suction power and long life. The filter moves up and down during each cleaning cycle to assure the captured dust ends up where it belongs -- in the collection bucket. The Zuum V also includes a second sealed HEPA filtration unit that filters the system's motor exhaust. The sealed system also can be added to other models in the Zuum lineup. Zuum Z-series power units also come equipped with ARM & HAMMER® vacuum bags that reduce collection bucket odors and seat-belt-like collection receptacle latches that assure captured dirt and allergens cannot re-enter the living area.

Smart and Interactive
The top-of-the-line Zuum IV and Zuum V models talk to you. They include an intuitive, self-diagnosing LED display panel that informs the user how efficiently the system is operating, and when to check the collection receptacle, when to call for service and even provides the user with accurate time and temperature information.

Innovative Collection Bucket
Zuum Central Vacuum Systems include a revolutionary Quick Lock system that assures what gets removed by the central vacuum never gets back into the living area. Simply press the buttons, release the bucket and empty the contents and snap it back in place. A transparent bucket lens and LED display offer a fail-safe way to inform the user when it's time to check the bucket.

Zuum Cleaning Kits
A variety of cleaning kits also are available that include a complete set of cleaning tools to handle carpeted or hard-surface floors, upholstery and other above-the-floor cleaning. The Zuum handle has been designed with an integrated speed control switch. The switch has four speed settings to provide the right amount of cleaning control. Its ergonomic design fits the hand comfortably, allowing the user to position their hand for the best control of the cleaning task.

In addition to Allied National, U.S. dealers can obtain Zuum Z-Series Central Vacuum Systems from leading electronic equipment distributors serving retailers and electronic systems contractors, including Capitol Sales Co., Broadline Cable and All-Phase Electric Supply-CED. In Canada, the systems are marketed by Electrolux Home Care Products-Canada. The products are marketed in Europe under the AEG and Zanussi brands.
