Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change the filters on my Falcon?

We suggest you clean (blow with compressed air) the HEPA filter on your Falcon-5 often, and replace it when it becomes clogged and reduces vacuum suction.

The Falcon-1 and Falcon-3 vacuums come in both standard and deluxe models. The deluxe models include a drain hose and convenient tool caddy to store all your cleaning tools.

The Falcon-5 comes standard with a tool caddy.

Leading Institutions That Select Centaur Floor Machines

The Vacuum Worked Flawlessly!

“So I just wanted to let you know I received the Falcon-5 and put it to work right away. I removed the popcorn ceiling in an entire house and filled 2 garbage bags full of drywall dust.

The vacuum worked flawlessly! The HEPA filter was spotless and the bag pre filters that you gave me were very important in this process.

Centaur switched the 10-foot hose to a 20-foot hose for me and they replaced the white filter bag with the grey drywall dust one. This level of customer service is hard to come by these days and because of that I have recommended the vacuums to a bunch of other painting companies in the US.

Thank you so much for Coordinating all of this and providing such amazing service and product.

Hats off to you for being a needle in the haystack in this day and age.”
