The Ultra Clean SC200 Steel Canadian Made Central Vacuum Power Unit pushes its way to our best central vacuum list for several reasons: its great CFM airflow, HEPA filtration, and optional exhaust. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg; we haven’t even discussed its air watts and water lift capabilities. Take a look at our best vacuum cleaner list to find more great recommendations.
Why We Like It – Ultra Clean SC200
Underneath the hood of the Ultra Clean SC200 Canadian-made central vacuum power unit is 121 CFM airflow, made possible by the Ametek Lamb bypasses tangential discharge blower motor.
- 121 CFM airflow

- Doesn’t include accessories
Power
Underneath the exterior is excellent cleaning power, thanks to its Ametek Lamb blower motor. These particular central vacuum systems are carrying 13.8 amps, with an operating voltage of 120. On the other end of the hose, that translates to 520 air watts and a 125-inch water lift.

Speed & Efficiency
The Ultra Clean SC200 Steel Canadian Made Central Vacuum Unit is only 4 CFM behind the Allegro MU4500 Champion, at 121 CFM. That means you can cover 121 cubic feet per minute, which is perfect for areas of 7500-square feet.
Capacity & Maintenance
The Prolux Vacuum and this Ultra Clean central vacuum power unit have the same capacity, which is 5 gallons. That’s more than enough for several uses before disposal. Maintenance is kept at a minimum, thanks to the use of disposable bags for both the bin and HEPA filtration system.
Durability
The ultra-durable chassis is made of steel, coated with a non-corrosive electrostatic powder finish. This definitely puts it up there as a top-quality central vacuum power unit made in Canada. The motor itself even has a tangential discharge bypass blower motor.

Value
There’s very few reasons not to pick up the Ultra Clean SC200, and one of them is the lack of accessories and disposable bags. You’ll have to consider the amount of bags that you’ll be filling up over time when you could simply purchase one with a quick release. On top of that, you’ll also have to spend additional income on accessories. Even the Hoover Vacuum Cleaner at least comes with a hose.
Ultra Clean SC200 Wrap Up
Despite its use of bags, the Ultra Clean SC200 is no doubt one of the best central units on our list. Its built-in HEPA filtration system alone improves the air by capturing dust, rather than letting it run wild. And who can forget the 121 CFM airflow? There’s even an exhaust you can install to blow dust out the other end.
