I don't believe this
Where did you hear this news from? As far as I can tell, you don't appear to be a Nuera Air dealer based on not carrying any of their products on your website. You also claim that they "may have" stopped production which isn't a fully yes or no scenario. I'll know it to be true from Nerua Air themselves and their dealers when I reach out for confirmation this week because you're also not backing up with any sources. It's very possible you've only heard that Nuera Air has just only temporary shut down their facilities to take some vacation time off, I know that MD Manufacturing in the USA does this. But Nuera Air is one of the largest central vacuum companies in the world, I don't get why they'd just go out of business overnight because they did buy Beam not too long ago. They're one of the more popular brands in the states. Another thing is your profile seems off. 36 years was when you opened the business yet you're born in 1996. And 1,000 vacuums you have!?!?

I'll just keep my Modern Day. And the Tru-Seal Hepa bags.

Alex, I totally believe it! Superior Vacuums has this same article posted on their website. Why would they risk getting in trouble with Nuera Air & possibly losing access to the distributorship of their brands by spreading false information? As for the information in the profile, I would bet that it was a employee who was tasked to create the profile & make the post here....that would explain why he was born in 1996. And the reference to 1,000 vacuums could very well be what they have in stock. Another reason why I believe Superior Vacuums & trust this article is I have personally dealt with them before. I bought a Miele S401i canister vacuum from them a couple years ago - dealt with 1 of the managers & he & his assistant were very pleasant people to deal with & did everything they could to make me a happy customer. If you look up the Google reviews for them, I actually left them a positive review.
As for Nuera Air putting these brands out of business? As far as Beam & Husky are concerned, goodbye & good riddance! Beam USED to be a good brand decades ago....however, Electrolux AB totally ruined that brand! The Beam Alliance models are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! The Domel single stage motor that those models used is very poor quality, with a short lifespan. The dirt collection & filtration system is crap on these too....VERY outdated, poor design. And that Electrolux AB hose, wand & powerhead setup is by far THE WORST right now in the industry! In fact, that powerhead is so bad, it could easily qualify as 1 of the worst powerheads ever made. As for the Husky brand, that was just a hardware/department store brand that was primarily sold in Home Depot here in Canada. From what I have seen of their offerings, I wasn't particularly impressed and thought they were only average at best. I cannot speak to the other brands, as I don't know that much about them. But, my guess is, Nuera Air most likely pulled the plug on all these brands because they KNEW they were poor quality, crap brands, and decided it was best to pull the plug before their company's reputation suffered serious damage as a result. Either they will stay out of the Central Vac business entirely, or more likely, they will come up with new designs and a couple new brands eventually and market them. | ||

Welp, it's true
They went out of business last week. Nuera Air didn't answer my calls back so I reached out to one of their dealers today. Pretty shocking cause not only they were one of if not the largest central vacuum company in the world but they had I think very fine systems. I liked the designs of the DuoVac power units, one of my top five picks for a recommendation. Well, not anymore. Now DrainVac just got bumped into it's place for my top five picks since they're very similar. But honestly, I could care less about Nuera Air because I do like other brands that are better in my opinion. MD Manufacturing, CycloVac, Vacuflo, and Vacu-Maid. My parents have a Beam from 1991 and if it had to be changed out today, I'd put in a Allegro since they're as close to what my parent's Beam was built back in the day and I really like that the filter can be machine washed. If somebody does take over from Nuera Air then great! However, a big corporation like that would be very hard if not impossible to do because I'll admit, Superior Vacuums does have a point with the way the central vacuum world is today.

 I still think central vacs are the future! Although I personally wouldn't want one. I can see the need for them in the field. Especially in new construction. If I wanted to own a vac business, I personally believe that installing/servicing central vacs is the direction I would go. Eventually, I believe all door-to-door vac companies will cease to exist. Because the market has shifted, and it seems the average consumer wants a Shark or Bissell from Walmart and will throw it away when something happens and buy a new one. Repeating the same process over and over. Because of this the standard vac shops have probably seen less repairs overall thus hurting their business. The mentality of the American population has changed over the years. Having small appliances like vacuum cleaners repaired has become a thing of the past. | ||

I just realized Superior vacuums is located in Canada and so is Nuera Air. Since this is being posted on a US based site. I'm assuming this will also affect the US as well? If so, I didn't realize the US central vac industry imported so much from Canada forgive me for my ignorance. I'm not a central vac enthusiast. | ||

Yes we've had alot of Canadian built units here in the states. I think the one that'd affect us the most would be Beam cause again, that's one of the more popular brands. While you still don't want to put a system in your home, you can always collect them. I know there are some Canadian units that I'd love to find for my collection like these older Nuera Air DuoVac units for example. I loved the colors they used to have.

I would say so
At least for my area, I know there are many more houses that are being built without having a central vacuum system. If any were to install in a central vac, they'd at least buy something that's cheap like from Amazon for example. That's what my aunt did. She or at least my uncle didn't wanted to spend alot on a MD or any of my top recommended picks. Instead they got a Allegro. If you think about it, is it really worth paying extra for a DuoVac where you can get a OVO that's very similar for alot less? Kenney has made an excellent point, consumers nowadays want something like a bagless cordless stick vac over a central vac (not me).
