Meet WallyFlex, your new butler.

The WallyFlex is an innovative auxiliary hose for central vacuum systems. Clean efficiently with one hand, in just one second! It is easy to use, practical and very nice-looking. WallyFlex is always there when you need it. Perfect to quickly clean the dryer lint filter, remove mud from the entryway or easily vacuum hair and make-up powder from bathroom countertops. Ideal for cleaning any dry mess in the kitchen and pantry.


WallyFlex is simple to install and can easily be added to most existing systems. WallyFlex connects with any universal inlet mounting plate and installs like a regular inlet valve. WallyFlex is an innovative cleaning system that is simple to install & use, high build quality and function & amazingly affordable. WallyFlex was named  VDTA's 2011 New Product of the Year for it's clever design and unique operation.  

To use a WallyFlex you grab the hose end, pull it to the spot that needs cleaning - up to 13ft (4 meters) & return hose to cradle when finished. Best of all WallyFlex gives you the full performance of your central vacuum power unit with hundreds of times the cleaning power of a hand vacuum and 100% perfect filtration.

The WallyFlex design is ingeniously simple. Starting with installation that does not require special tube or fittings, only a common inlet mounting plate. The WallyFlex valve assembly connects with the mounting plate and the low voltage wires are connected to the switch. Connect the removable stretch hose which twist-locks into place and you are done. WallyFlex lets you easy activate your vacuum system when you grab the hose with a flip out switch. Clean with one hand in one second. WallyFlex extends the convenience of central cleaning into any space easily and affordably. See the video for WallyFlex in action!

Don't Forget The Vacpan!

The Plastiflex Vacpan quickly became the number one requested central vacuum accessory because it makes cleaning easier. Central vacuum systems are all about convenience for the homeowner. The Vacpan adds more convenience to any central cleaning system and makes using the vacuum simple for cleaning busy spaces. With the Vacpan sweep inlet you do not need to fetch the vacuum hose and tools, just grab your broom and sweep into the Vacpan inlet.

The Vacpan inlet features a toe operated kick switch, and when activated will suction away dirt, debris and dust. The Vacpan sweep inlet is fast and efficient which makes it great for high traffic areas like the kitchen, mud/utility room and entry areas that get dirty quick with mud, dirt or accidental dry spills like flour or breakfast cereal. The Vacpan Sweep Inlet is available in colors to match your rooms decor including White, Almond, Black or Black with a Stainless Steel cover plate to match other stainless steel appliances in a kitchen.

The Vacpan sweep inlet is simple to install into new homes or existing systems. A handy new flexible hose rough-in kit is available for installations in cabinets and walls which greatly speeds the process in new installs and retro-fits. The Vacpan Quick-Trim Plate is also very helpful in those installations where a Vacpan can only be installed from the front (like an existing cabinet).

A brushed stainless steel face plate can be added to any Vacpan sweep inlet to enhance it's appearance among other kitchen appliances, or a combo Vacpan with stainless faceplate VCPSS01 can be purchased as one item.

If you prefer central vacuum inlets that multitask then consider the Vacpan II series of baseboard and wall mount combination hose & sweep inlets. The Vacpan II inlets operates as a standard hose inlet with low-volt hookup. The combo inlet features a height adjustable channel that reaches to the floor and functions as a sweep inlet by simply sliding the door up. Two sizes are available in the Vacpan II inlet; baseboard mount which has a 4" height from floor to inlet, and the taller wall-mount which has a 16" height from floor to inlet. The Vacpan II inlets install just like standard hose inlets using a standard inlet mounting plate.


The Vacpan sweep inlet has become a standard part of most central vacuum installations, and for a few homeowners the Vacpan sweep inlets are the only type of inlet installed. The Vacpan sweep inlet is also very popular in some commercial applications including hair salons and veterinary offices. The heavy duty Automatic Dust Pan is also available for utility service, commercial cleaning and other high usage environments.


For homes without a central cleaning system Vacdepot offers a self contained Vacpan inlet system which can be mounted within a cabinet and powered by a compact vacuum system that stores under the sink. The self contained system is great for retro-fit's without a central vacuum, RV's & boat's, or special application utility cleaning system - contact Vacdepot for more information. The installation and uses of the Vacpan are nearly unlimited, and the convenience remains unparalleled in modern central vacuum systems.

Board to Death

There are many features in the new Wessel-Werk EBK360 powerbrush to be admired. LED headlight array, sculptured augured brush roller, 5-position step on height adjuster and redundant cooling systems just to name a few. But it is what's missing in the new EBK360 powerbrush that gets us the most excited about the new design.


Like most other electronic systems these days the powerbrush has gone hi-tech. When the rubber belt was replaced with the geared belt it was technology that became responsible for the upgrade. While rubber belts are slow, underperform and often need replacement due to wear, they did have one great feature - they would break. Breaking the belt does not sound good to most folks, but the alternative would have been much more costly permanent damage of the powerbrush motor. Rubber belts are cheap & easy to replace. Powerbrush motors are neither cheap or easy to replace.

If while vacuuming you happen to find the dish towel that Jake your sheppard pup moved from the kitchen to under the sofa your rubber belt driven carpet vacuum nozzle would emit a screeching noise. This followed quickly by a puff of smoke and the dreadful "snap" of your vacuum belt breaking. This was a cheap low-tech approach to motor protection developed in the early 1900's. New vacuum systems use geared belts which do not slip or stretch. These new vacuum nozzles use high speed rollers that can spin 2 - 5 times the speed of rubber belt systems, up to five thousand revolutions per minute. To control this process the powerbrush circuit board was born, and it was complex. Along with jam protection to shut the motor down if the brush roller could not spin (due to a clog or damage), the circuit board was also filled with sensors of all types; under current, over current, free-spin and high drag.

The control boards had LED indicators, adjustable potentiometers and many had push-button circuit breakers. The circuit boards in vacuum cleaners have seemingly become an arms race in components, only to be topped by vacuum cleaners now running software. Even the vacuum cleaner has outsmarted the computers once used to put a man on the moon in the 60's.

In a stunning leap forward the EBK360 has for the first time done away with the "circuit control board". Advanced design has lead to a simple answer for controlling the geared belt drive system. In the case of the EBK360 a short circuit, or a truncated track is a good thing. Fewer parts with lower replacement cost and higher reliability are now provided in a conectorized environment within the EBK360.

In addition to the motor mounted self-resetting thermal breaker, a single circuit self-resetting overload protector takes the place of old fashioned mechanical push-button circuit breakers. To assure proper activation of the circuit protector and eliminate EMI feedback from the motor an inline electronic noise suppressor smooths out the power delivered to the system. That's it! The entire control system is held in two external modules with three inline connectors. The new control system is a hi-tech back to basics solution provided by quality software & hardware engineering instead of the continual escalation in a war of components mounted to a circuit board. Doing more with less leads to higher reliability and user satisfaction. We never like circuit boards in power nozzles, that's why the new electrical system in the EBK360 is our favourite new feature. We understand & agree - a new control system is not exactly a "sexy" design upgrade - but there is always the cool LED headlight array (if your into that sort of thing).


The Wessel-Werk EBK360 Powered Nozzle can be found on some european import brands of portable canister vacuum and in the Aspria brand Souveran CVA360 attachment set. Additional models of the Souveran central vacuum attachment set include the CVA360D Deluxe set and the CVA360U Ultimate central vacuum attachment kit.

Vacdepot First to Go Green [Bar]

Vacdepot pioneered online shopping in the floorcare business fifteen years ago. Since our very early days Vacdepot has securely processed orders online for our customers. In those first days some had concerns about security when ordering online, but many early internet users were

geeks like us and understood the security that encryption provides. For more than a decade online shoppers have known to match the secure server you are ordering from with the website you are shopping on. If a website operator does not have a secure server certificate in their own name you should shop elsewhere.

Now the term Secure Server is just as common as Blog or Facebook. Recently the secure server certificate issuers and the browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox introduced Extended Validation secure server certificates, or EV certs. These certificates provide additional information to the server user, extra security in the order process and an easy visual reference when using new browsers.

Like all secure server connections the new EV certs show a gold padlock to indicate the connection is secure. In addition new browsers will change the URL bar to green and provide security information about Vacdepot right in the green bar. FireFox browsers also use a green box in the URL bar to indicate an EV certificate with enhanced information on the click through. Vacdepot is the first online vacuum cleaning systems distributor to offer our customers use of a EV Secure Server Certificate. Vacdepots EV certificate is capable of providing high-grade encryption using a 2048 bit encryption key. Vacdepot's processing systems are also PCI compliant, and independently monitored for security. Furthermore Vacdepot owns and maintains the Vacdepot website on a dedicated server. Our systems are not shared with hundreds of other websites in an insecure "website farm".

Our new extended validation certificate is one more way we show that our customers online security is very important to us. Add to this our A+ rating with the BBB and our exceptional third-party (not paid for!) customer reviews and you begin to get an idea of our dedication to the business. Mix those great things with our amazing low prices and it is easy to see why Vacdepot.com has remained the most popular and most respected source on the internet for vacuum cleaning systems.
