This is the second home in which I have central vac and what they call “hideaway” hoses. The hideaway hose sucks up into the outlet after you vacuum so no hose to store! The hoses are long enough to have just one on each floor. I can’t imagine cleaning without it!

A central vacuum system is ideal for large homes or homes with more than one level. These systems are easy to use and give you access to a powerful vacuum cleaner without lugging the unit all around the house.

The central vacuum seems like such a great idea, will you please let me know how you feel about your decision now? I am also in the middle of building a home, and the thought of having a central vacuum makes me happy. I have three young children, and it would be so nice to just suck all those crumbs in the kitchen away.

Too bad for those of us homebuyers out there, if the home to buy lacks a central vac, then we’re the losers as installing it AFTER ain’t cheap or easy no matter what the liars out there who claim it’s “easy” to retrofit would have us believe.

Well, beyond those cons, the pros have more points that do give a Yes to installing Central Vacuum. A central vacuum is much better at suction, easy to use by not having to carry your canister or upright here and there. Also other benefits like healthier air and less noise make them a better choice.
I agree that installing them is cumbersome, but that is at once or make a better decision whenever you are building a new house.

With a central vac it is easy to vacuum drapery, upholstery, walls, above door jambs, all sorts of place dust collects. I NEVER dust, just use my central vac to vacuum surfaces. It’s easy and keeps dust away. In my summer home I have a Dyson cordless – decent but no way can I do the blinds and upholstery as easily – and no way near as much power as my central vac (which is completely vented outside and could easily suck up a small dog if I’m careful lol)).

There really is a lot that you have to take into consideration when deciding whether or not to have a central vacuum. I’m really glad that you’re honest with some of the downsides, but I do agree that it is worth having in the end. After all, the sucking power and being able to set up an outlet for specific areas of the house are great.

I have central suck which is good on the stairs and wood floors, but my Dyson is my go to, it is more powerful then central and does a better job in carpets.
