In-stock merchandise generally ships from our Leesburg, Virginia location within 3–5 business days. Processing time is separate from carrier transit time and is not a guaranteed delivery date. Weekends and holidays can affect timing. Special-order, backordered or unavailable items may take longer; contact us to confirm timing before purchase when a deadline matters.
Shipping options and charges are shown at checkout. After dispatch, follow the carrier's tracking updates. Weather, carrier delays, order verification and inventory confirmation may affect delivery. Inspect packages promptly and retain packaging if there is damage or an incorrect or missing item.
Eligible unused items have a 30-calendar-day return request window for refunds or exchanges, measured from delivery or in-store purchase. Return authorization is required. Final-sale exclusions, the 15% restocking fee for change-of-mind returns and shipping responsibilities are explained in our Return and Refund Policy. That policy is the governing source for return eligibility and fees.
For shipping or return help, email sales@acevacuums.com or call 703-997-9292.
Updated September 27, 2026. Request a return for an eligible unused item within 30 calendar days of delivery (or purchase for items collected in store). Eligible returns may be refunded to the original payment method or exchanged, subject to availability. The same 30-day request window applies to both refunds and exchanges; there is no separate seven-day or 15-day refund deadline.
Items must be unused, clean, complete and in their original packaging with all accessories, manuals and proof of purchase. Contact sales@acevacuums.com or 703-997-9292 before sending anything back. Include your order number, item and reason for return. We will confirm eligibility, charges and return instructions. Unapproved or cash-on-delivery returns are not accepted.
For an approved change-of-mind return, a 15% restocking fee applies to the returned merchandise price. Original shipping charges are not refundable and the customer pays return shipping. These charges do not apply to an approved return caused by our shipping error or a damaged/defective item claim. Contact us first so we can arrange the appropriate remedy and shipping instructions. Do not assume a prepaid label is included.
Air purifiers; discounted, clearance, trade-in, holiday-sale and price-matched purchases; gift cards; custom or special-order products; electrical parts; used or installed items; opened cleaning solutions; and used bags, filters, belts or other consumables are not eligible for change-of-mind returns. Other items clearly marked final sale at purchase are also excluded. An opened box alone does not disqualify an otherwise eligible unused, complete item, but consumables and cleaning solutions must remain unopened.
Inspect your order promptly and contact us as soon as you discover a problem, with your order number and photos where helpful. Keep the packaging. Change-of-mind exclusions and deadlines do not remove applicable defect, warranty, recall or statutory rights. Warranty coverage requires evaluation under the manufacturer's terms; dealer status does not guarantee free repair. Recalled products must follow the manufacturer's recall process.
After we receive and inspect the return, we will notify you of approval or the reason it cannot be accepted. Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of approval; your bank may take additional time to post them. Contact us if more than 15 business days have passed since approval. Exchanges require authorization and replacement availability; any price difference and applicable charges will be explained before processing.
This policy applies to online and in-store purchases. We will honor more favorable written return terms provided with an earlier purchase. Applicable consumer rights remain unaffected. Where the European Union 14-day cancellation right applies, customers may cancel or return eligible orders within 14 days of receipt, subject to applicable legal exceptions, without giving a reason.
Build your cleaning setup with useful accessories. Compare the hose connection and kit contents before choosing; complete kits are alternative setups.
Hose fit depends on your wall inlet, handle, wand and electrical connection. Round 1¼-inch tools do not fit every proprietary or D-shaped handle. A low-voltage hose controls suction but cannot power a corded electric brush. Pigtail hoses need a nearby electrical outlet; direct-connect hoses need matching powered inlets. Check what a complete kit already includes.
30-foot pigtail hose and SEBO powerhead kit. Requires a matching inlet and a nearby electrical outlet. Check included tools before adding extras.
30-foot TurboCat air-driven cleaning kit. Match the wall inlet; turbine cleaning needs adequate airflow and uses no power cord.
ValuFlex replacement electric hose. Verify inlet, handle, wand and electrical connection; select the correct length and connection setup.
Low-voltage hose for suction tools. Match the wall inlet and select the length. It cannot power a corded electric brush.
Separate 30-foot hose and tools for cars and garages. Confirm that the utility or wall inlet accepts the hose connection.
Air-driven Rugrat mini tool for stairs and upholstery. Requires a matching hose connector and adequate suction; no electrical connection.
12-inch hard-floor brush for round 1¼-inch wands. Not a direct fit for proprietary D-shaped connectors.
6-inch upholstery tool with brush strip for furniture and stairs. Match the round hose-end connector.
Soft dusting brush for furniture and detail cleaning. Match the round hose or wand connection.
Crevice tool for sofa gaps, corners and baseboards. Check the hose-end diameter and shape.
Telescopic friction-fit wand for suction tools. Accepts a round 1⅛–1¼-inch hose end; no integrated electrical connection.
Padded zippered cover for a conventional hose. Choose the matching length; not for stretch or retractable hoses.
Wall hanger for a conventional 25–35-foot hose wound in four or five loops. Not storage for an in-wall retractable hose.
18-by-18-inch mesh caddy for organizing loose cleaning tools. Tools and wall hanger are sold separately.
Maintenance sheets for routine central vacuum hose and pipe care. Follow the label and system instructions; not a substitute for repair of a blockage or damaged system.
Match the full power-unit model, production version, bag collar and filter dimensions. Cyclonic, disposable-bag and permanent-filter systems use different supplies. A similar size or shared brand name is not enough to confirm fit. If a matching supply is not shown, send us the model label and a photo of the old bag or filter. Shop central vacuum bags & filters
