Purvac Barracuda Central Vacuum System Review

by Thomas Hart, Last Updated - February 22, 2019

Purvac BarracudaWhen you want the most powerful central vac for your house, you should get the Purvac. Of course, the best does not come cheap, and the PurVac is one of the more expensive models we reviewed.

By the way, you can read our reviews of Top Rated central vacuum systems with buyer’s guide.

Still, with all of the features that are either the best or near the best, it might be an investment worth making. First, the Purvac provides the most total air watts with 780. Combine that with an astounding 151” water lift, and this central vac is already impressive. While 140 CFM is not the best, it is pretty high up on the list.
Interestingly, the motor is only 14.8 amps and uses a tangential thru flow design. This is likely why the house size this central vac is rated for is between 4500-9000 sq. ft., instead of the better 12000. Still, with a single stage motor, you should not have to worry about repairs as often – unless you are talking about the container, which is not made out of steel like most central vacs, but uses a composite instead.
Pros
  • 780 air watts is the highest on our list
  • 151 water lift is the best on our list
  • This is the quietest central vac on our list
Cons
  • Is fairly expensive
  • The materials are not steel
