Overview

The Cana-vac™ Series CV687 is a central vacuum system designed for medium to large-sized homes. Here’s a brief overview and review of its features and performance:

Key Features:

1. Power and Performance:

   • The CV687 is equipped with a powerful 8.4” Tangential Bypass Motor, which delivers excellent suction power and airflow, making it efficient in removing dust, dirt, and debris from various surfaces.
   • It has a maximum air watts rating of around 700, providing strong suction capabilities suitable for deep cleaning carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and more.

2. Filtration:

   • It features a hybrid filtration system that includes a HEPA filter for capturing fine dust and allergens. This makes it a good choice for households with allergy sufferers or pets.
   • The system can be used with or without disposable bags, offering flexibility in terms of maintenance and cost.

3. Capacity:

   • The CV687 has a large dirt capacity, reducing the frequency of emptying the canister. The large canister also means it is suitable for larger homes or frequent cleaning needs.

4. Durability and Build Quality:

   • Made in Canada, the CV687 is built with quality materials for longevity and reliability. It is designed for continuous use and comes with a warranty that often covers the motor for up to 10 years.

5. Noise Level:

   • It operates relatively quietly compared to many traditional vacuum cleaners, especially if installed in a garage or basement. The noise-dampening features make it more comfortable for home use.

6. Installation and Maintenance:

   • As a central vacuum system, installation requires some initial setup involving ducting throughout the home. Once installed, maintenance is straightforward, with filter changes and canister emptying as the primary tasks.

Pros:

• Strong suction power and high-performance motor.
• HEPA filtration system for better air quality.
• Quiet operation and large capacity.
• Durable and reliable construction with a good warranty.

Cons:

• Requires professional installation, which can add to the initial cost.
• The central vacuum design means it is not portable; it's fixed to the home.
• Regular maintenance of the filters and bags is necessary to maintain performance.

Overall Review:

The Cana-vac™ Series CV687 is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a powerful, efficient, and reliable central vacuum system. Its high suction power and effective filtration make it suitable for homes with multiple flooring types, pets, or allergy sufferers. The initial cost and installation requirements may be a drawback for some, but its performance and durability generally justify the investment.
