"Not yet verified" means the manufacturer has not published the figure or we could not confirm it. We never fill a gap with a guess; our own measurements are added once a unit has been tested hands-on.
The short version
What we like
- ✓660 air watts, 134 in water lift and 121 CFM, published by InterVac

What we'd change
- ✕2 gal bag fills quickly

- ✕Amps and weight conflict between product page and manual
Who this unit is for
The InterVac CondoVac IVD660H, now sold as the InterVac Pro, is for condos, apartments and small homes where the power unit has to disappear into a closet or a wall. It is under 20 in tall and under 8 in deep, with an in-wall sibling (IVD660F) that needs only 3.875 in of depth. InterVac rates it for 3,000 sq ft.
For the size, its suction figures are strong, which is why it is a serious option rather than a compromise. The trade-offs are a 2 gal bag, a 70 dB rating, and a 2-year warranty.
What the specs tell you
InterVac lists 660 air watts, 134 in of sealed water lift and 121 CFM maximum from a flow-thru motor with 1,526 W input. Air watts predicts carpet cleaning at the tool; 660 matches full-size units like NuTone’s PP6501. Water lift is sealed suction; 134 in is more than enough for a condo’s short pipe run. CFM is airflow; 121 is fine for bare floors. InterVac also publishes working figures, 86 in and 42 CFM, which is unusual and useful: those describe the unit with air flowing, closer to real use.
Noise is 70 dB. In a garage that is unremarkable; in a hallway closet it will be heard.
Collection is bagged only: a Y20 HEPA-type 5-layer disposable bag of 2 gal / 7.5 L, behind a Y25 motor filter and in front of a Y50 exhaust filter. Three stages of filtration are why InterVac is comfortable with indoor exhaust. The small bag is the trade for the small body. The record does not state a certified HEPA rating.
Amps conflict: the product page says 15.2 A, the manual says 12.5 A at 120 V. Weight conflicts: 14 lb on the page, 11 lb in the manual.
Fit and compatibility
Standard 2-inch pipe. Low-voltage inlets only; direct-connect electric is not listed. Plug-in 120V on a 6 ft cord; not hardwired. At 15.2 A (page figure) it wants its own circuit.
Exhaust outside is optional; the exhaust filter is standard and the K-365 outside exhaust cover is an add-on. Surface mount with side panels on the included bracket; the flush-mount version uses the K-385 frame. Dimensions are 19.44 in high by 10.5 in wide by 7.63 in deep, with 3.875 in in-wall depth for the flush version.
What’s in the box, and what you still need
In the box: the power unit, 6 ft power cord, one Y20 dust bag, one motor filter, one exhaust filter and the mounting bracket.
Not included: the K-385 flush-mount frame, hose and tools, the K-365 outside exhaust cover, and pipe, fittings and inlets. InterVac sells a 35 ft hose kit separately.
Warranty and support
InterVac gives 2 years on the CondoVac line and 30 days on accessories. Dust bags, filters, tools and hoses are excluded, and using non-genuine bags or filters voids the unit warranty. Coverage is for the original purchaser with proof of purchase; registration is recommended and InterVac asks that you register before a claim.
Products sold outside the US are as-is with no warranty. InterVac Design is in Palm City, Florida, with tech support by phone and email.
Living with it
Expect frequent Y20 bag changes; 2 gal is small. Check the Y25 motor filter at each bag change and replace the Y50 exhaust filter when it darkens; the record gives no intervals. Use genuine InterVac parts to keep the warranty.
At 70 dB, put it in a closet with a solid door, or in a garage or utility room if you have one, and consider the K-365 cover to vent outside.
