Vacuum Hubbs

I have heard of Free Wheel Hubs and Auto locking Hubb’s but I haven’t heard anybody discussing Vacuum Hubbs. The appear to have all the good points of a free wheeling Hubbs and address the issues around Auto Hubbs. They lock and unlock when the vehicle engages or disengages 4wd.

Then again, I was reading the sales pitch

Any comments,advice
