Bagless cleaners are better than Bagged cleaners.

This is one of the reasons why I like central vacuums the best. All of the dirt would be taken OUT of your house and into the unit of either the garage or the basement without smelling the dirt when you vacuum. What's even better is adding exhaust pipes so all of the dust that would eventually make it past through the motor would be taken OUT of your house and the rain would later filter the air of all you have vacuumed up. Of course you would then eventually need to empty or change the bag once or twice a year, and of course you would also smell the dirt when you do maintenance but I find it much more sanitary than all of the other types of vacuums that I've used.
 
A good central vacuum is a great option on many levels.

Unfortunately many perspective customers don't or cant go that route. Due to over all cost. And yes many will opt to over pay for a machine that isn't effective in hopes of finding a portable vacuum that works. Others are in a property that they don't own and there for are unable to install a built in system.

So there is always going to be a market for a portable unit.

A lot of new homes being built have central vacuums as the plumbing for it can be installed before the walls go up and the over all costs are included in the mortgage.
 
If you don't own the home-you can still use a central vac if you want to.Just purchase the unit and use it with the long hose.You can use the machi ne "Freestanding" I and other collectors here do this.Of course if you move you can take the vacuum with you.
 
Would like to see how one would use a central vac "freestanding".
Don't they need to be properly vented? .. Would it even be possible to use an electric hose to use a powerhead since you dont have the actual inlet (in the wall) plug installation?
 
EASY-just that use the 35ft hose in the utility inlet on the machine.I have two hoses that can use 120V powernozzles.You plug the pigtail cord on the hose into an outlet-then the central unit into another outlet on a separate circuit.I use the Volt powernozzle for the most part so another outlet isn't needed and you can use a non powered hose for the Volt PN.don't need to vent my unit since I use The Tru-Fit Filtrete bags in the machine along with the cloth bag.According to MD if you use either the Tru-fit or HyperFlow Filtrte style bags venting is not required.And particle count meter readings VERY low-less than ambient air-not 0 but close.the reading I get must be from carbon motor brush dust.
 
Bagged versus Bagless

Hi All, I'm new here : ). I'm not a fan of bagless vacs...I do refurbs and bagless vacs (dysons) are just
filthy inside. I just did a riccar n2000 with a nice hepa bag in it...it will stay very clean overall. The cyclone in a Dyson becomes so dirty...it's also difficult to clean versus putting in a new hepa bag.
 
I saw him saying air flow didn't matter too.

I mean sure it isn't every thing but I'm 100% positive it's important. You don't just want suction on one part of the foot (that's what I call the floor nozzle).

free standing central vacs

Like Tolivac, I use my central vacuum units free standing, I have 8 of them, it's awesome. Some machines have a utility valve built in and for those that don't, just attach a utility valve to the in-take, works great and you don't have to deal with pipes. Granted, you lose the benefit of the unit being in a different place but I have not found this to be a problem. All of my units use bags so no need to vent them outside. I have some laundry crystals in each bag so it actually smells pretty good. For electric nozzles, connect the hose to the machine and plug it in to a nearby outlet, I have two electric hoses, one is 35 feet and the other is 50 feet. There are even some central vac units that are designed to be used free standing without pipes.

I bought some Sebo Deodorizer capsules that you can suck into or put into the bag as you install it into the vacuum.They work pretty well and give a very slight,pleasant lime odor.You can also use Featherlyte deodorizer in any machine-just pick it up.And they come in many different "smells"-vac shops have them.Sadly this company might go out of business.Sad-they make a fine product.If anyone on here knows about the details-please let us know.
 
Vac Yum are granuals you can vacuum up and they work well. Lots of fragrances.  They will not clog bags. Goodvac.com sells them. These are not for Water Filtration vacuums.
