Score: 80/100Dirt Devil 9880
Score: 62/100Rankings
The Prolux REDCEN central vacuum delivers powerful 130 CFM airflow and 3-stage HEPA filtration for large homes. Its heavyweight design, lack of an air-watts rating and high current draw are notable trade-offs. Ideal for owners of large residences who prioritize suction power and long warranties.
The HP Products 9880 is a compact, 1-gallon central vacuum designed for RVs and tiny homes, offering 100 CFM airflow and flexible hose extensions. Its small capacity, lack of noise and filtration details, and limited review data are drawbacks. Best for RV owners needing a permanent, space-saving vacuum solution.

Professional reviewers commend the Prolux REDCEN for its raw power, noting the impressive 130-150 CFM airflow and effective 3-stage HEPA filtration that tackles allergens. They highlight the durable construction backed by long-term warranties and the relatively quiet operation achieved with the muffler.
Everyday users appreciate the strong suction capability for large homes, the convenience of a bagless unit with a viewing window, and the quieter operation compared to older central vacs. Common complaints focus on the unit's weight and bulkiness during installation, its basic aesthetic design, and the absence of clear performance specs such as air-watts.
