Prolux CV12000 Red
Score: 80/100
VacuMaid P125p
Score: 81/100Rankings
The VacuMaid P125p is a cyclonic central vacuum with a generous 27-quart bagless capacity and a 10-year warranty, suited for medium-large homes up to 9,000 sq ft. Its 40-lb weight and 75 dB noise level can be drawbacks for some installations. Best for homeowners seeking a bagless, high-capacity replacement unit with strong warranty coverage.
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.

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.
