Overview
The Central Vacuum 35ft Premium TurboCat Kit (416P35) is a popular accessory package designed for central vacuum systems. Here's a general review and overview of its features:
Key Components of the Kit:
-
35 ft Hose: The kit includes a 35-foot crushproof hose, which provides extensive reach for vacuuming larger spaces without needing to change outlets frequently.
-
TurboCat Powerhead: This is a turbine-driven brush head designed for deep cleaning of carpets. It works without electricity, using air-driven technology to spin the brush roll, which makes it ideal for homes where an electrical powerhead is not feasible.
-
Attachments: The kit usually comes with various attachments, such as:
- Dusting brush
- Crevice tool
- Upholstery tool
- Floor brush
-
Adjustable Wand: The telescopic wand allows for easy height adjustment, improving comfort during use.
-
Accessory Caddy: Some kits come with a storage bag or caddy to keep attachments organized.
Pros:
- Great for Carpets: The TurboCat powerhead is highly effective on carpets, as its air-driven brush roll helps dislodge dirt and debris embedded in the fibers.
- Long Hose: The 35 ft hose allows for cleaning large areas with fewer interruptions.
- Lightweight and Maneuverable: The powerhead is relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver around furniture.
- No Electrical Outlet Required: The air-driven nature of the TurboCat makes it ideal for households that do not have an electrical outlet near each vacuum outlet.
Cons:
- Less Effective on Hard Floors: The TurboCat is mainly designed for carpets, so it might not be as effective on hard floors compared to a powerhead with a dedicated brush for hard surfaces.
- Lack of Electric Power: The air-driven powerhead may not have as much suction power as an electrically powered head, particularly for very thick or high-pile carpets.
- Noise Level: Some users find the TurboCat to be noisy due to the air-driven turbine.
Ideal Users:
- Homes with Carpets: This kit is particularly suitable for homes with a significant amount of carpeted areas.
- No Electrical Outlets near Vacuum Inlets: The air-driven TurboCat is a great choice for those who don't have electrical outlets near each vacuum inlet.
