OVO 700 Airwatts Heavy Duty Powerful Central Vacuum System, Hybrid Filtration (with or Without Disposable Bags) 35L or 9.25Gal Bottom Load Dust Bin

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.

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 have been through a few units . Local shop wanted 900 for a replacement unit. This unit is more powerful and easy to install. Great feature besides being quiet is that it stays on for a few seconds longer after pulling hose off to allow remaining dirt to get into bag…..amazing and I installed in 15 min. Simple ,,,,,,

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!

If I had tried it out in a store, I might have picked a lower power model. This one is unbelievably powerful (especially compared to our 40-year old broken one). I think we'll like it. It is hard to appreciate how quiet it runs, because of the powerful whooshing of air being sucked into the hose as you vacuum.Installation was easy. But note the 36" flex hose that Amazon recommended I buy with it, was not ideal. Apparently there is a different flex hose that is Ovo branded and comes in 2 pieces and importantly also includes hose clamps and needed pvc fittings. Save yourself a trip to the hardware store and get THAT flex hose.It was very well packaged. It arrived in a box that was totally beaten-up and taped back together, but the vacuum inside was fine.

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.
