BEAM Precision Among "Best" New Custom Electronic Products

The BEAM Precision, the only central vacuum system powerhead that cleans itself, has earned a "Best" award as one of the most noteworthy new products and technologies offered to custom electronics dealers. Forty winning products were selected from among 197 entries of products from multiple categories such as home automation, home theater, security, audio and more. They were chosen by a panel of respected custom electronics industry leaders and the editors of CE Pro magazine. The winning products were announced October 15, the opening day of the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) Expo in Dallas.

Best Award winning products were judged on four criteria:

·  Innovation;

·  Functionality;

·  Competitive advantages; and

·  Benefits to the installer.

The BEAM Precision power brush includes a retractable blade that cuts through hair, thread and pet hair that get entangled in the brush roll. The consumer simply steps on the Brushroll Clean™ pedal on the powerhead to clean the brush roll. It eliminates the frustration of having to use scissors or pull the tangled hair out of the brush roll by hand or the need to take their powerhead in for service. It allows the brush roll to work like new every time.

In addition to Brushroll Clean Technology®, the BEAM Precision offers four levels of height adjustment to thoroughly clean any flooring surface. It is the only central vacuum system powerhead capable of vacuuming every type of floor surface with ease from hardwood and tile, to area rugs, common wall-to-wall carpet, as well as ultra plush carpets. The BEAM Precision includes a hidden valve on the highest height setting to thoroughly vacuum ultra plush carpets.

BEAM Built-in Vacuum Systems is the world’s leading producer and marketer of built-in central vacuums. BEAM products are sold in more than 50 countries around the world.
