I agree about the gas pump handle..hate doing anything above the floor with that handle. We have a basic hose to clean out the cars in the garage. I wish there were still more electric pistol grip options for central vac hoses. My parent's have one in their basement and I prefer it over the...

Tom I agree wholeheartedly regarding the Hide a Hose. My partner thought I was nuts for retrofitting a HAH outlet into our central vacuum system. He uses it more than I do now! Can't wait to get the Volt nozzle so I can keep my upright in the closet to stay. I *HATE* dragging/storing the...

Just stumbled upon a video highlighting the new power nozzle. Can't wait to get one for my hide a hose system! http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6UFO3tngNg

We have had one at our beach house for about ten years and it's still working. We have mainly hardwood floors so it's used for that and cleaning the furniture of my dog's hair. The tools are not the best and the hose has a permanent crimp in it where it meets the handle but for about $80 I...

Well the original Dirt Devil central vac actually came with a very nice tool kit - the Vacuflo Edge Powerhead kit. The option we were given for central vacuum by the builder was simply YES or NO. For this reason I assumed we were going to get a bottom of the line kit. However, the Edge kit...

Thank you everyone for your recommendations. I actually went with the MD Flo-Master 650 and despite it's size, it definitely packs a punch! It's very powerful! I knew the DD unit was typical builder grade but I will say it was a powerful machine while it lasted. I purchased a green Shark...

Thanks for the advice guys. I reached out to the gentleman who retrofitted a hide a hose outlet in my home and he recommended a MD Flo-Master 650. He's installed them for several years and never had anyone require a service call. In fact, he actually has them privately labeled for his company...

Next month I'll have lived in a new construction home for exactly four years. The builder put in a Dirt Devil Pro Series 990 central vacuum. Yesterday when I came home from running an errand I noticed my garage smelled like smoke. I came in and I could hear the cleaning lady "vacuuming"...

Oh I need one of those for my Hide a Hose! Right now I rigged a Nutone 598 powerhead with 30ft extension cord for use in my wall to wall areas when vacuuming with my HAH outlet.

I was wondering if any of the previous dealers who commented still have any white Guardian uprights? As I mentioned before - the new black color scheme doesn't do anything for me. Unfortunately I don't have a local dealer in my area and the only uprights that come up on Craigslist or Ebay tend...

I just bought a white Miele C3 Cat and Dog canister back around New Years and it comes with that exact same nozzle. It really is a nice powernozzle even if it doesn't have a headlight. I previously owned a Miele S528 Filtration Guard canister with SEB236 powernozzle that my parents bought when...

I am glad I'm not the only person who never uses my vac pan. All of my friends with kids love it and think they are the best. In hindsight I'd rather have vroom installed in my kitchen island than the vacpan. We have also toyed with the idea of adding a second HAH outlet for the bedroom level of...

Our Cat and Dog is the white one...just purchased it around Christmas.

The Hide a Hose outlet isn't very noticeable when the door is closed. It's about the size of a panel of 3 light switches you'd find in a kitchen but is mounted vertically. Ironically enough, the only people that ever notice it are children...whose parents are then very intrigued by the idea...

I posted in one of the pictures how I was able to rig an electric nozzle to use on my frieze carpeting. We also have a Miele canister that we never use because it's a PITA to pull around behind us.

As I was cleaning today I forgot to post pictures of my Hide a Hose outlet I had retrofitted to my home two years ago. As you might recall (it's been awhile) my home was built three years ago with the standard builder-grade central vacuum system. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to choose...

I remember there was an episode of Roseanne when Dan and the kids made her an office in the basement. She stalled her writing by vacuuming the basement with a blue Kenmore (Singer/Ryobi) all-plastic blue straight suction canister that was being sold at Sears in the late 80's.

Hi All, I was wondering what your preferences were in regard to hose handles - gas pump or pistol grip? I grew up in the 80's/90's and my parent's canisters were mainly pistol grip handles - Sears Best Power-mate (on/off switch on handle), a black Hoover Spirit, etc. It seems like almost all...

Thank you for all of the suggestions! I've actually tried the Shark and Miele uprights before too. Guess I'm too picky ;) The Shark was actually the closest to "perfect" upright vacuum that I have used...just didn't love emptying the container after every use. I'm very much a "bag" kind of...

Hi All, So I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what's available out there on the market right now but thought I'd check and see if I'm missing anything. I'm looking for a vacuum to use when I don't feel like dragging out the central vacuum. Currently, we have a Vacuflo with Hide-A-Hose...
