Thanks, that's really good to know. I haven't bought one yet, but I'm
leaning toward the Dyson. We currently have a 2 year old top of the
line Hoover bagless that spends most of its time turning itself off
supposedly because of a clogged chamber. Trouble is, after we empty
it, it still won't go back on for nearly an hour.


Before spending $500 for a Dyson, look into how much it would cost to go
central. It cost us about $100 to have a central vac system installed.
Included 2 outlets inside the house and one in the garage. We have a 35
ft hose for the garage to reach out tot he cars for cleaning. Until
recently we had a samoyed for a pet (he passed away). Was great for
cleaning up all the fur. Would only have to empty the container every 3
or 4 months.

That's a thought, and our house has a crawlspace that would make
installation of the pipes fairly simple. Hopefully they've improved them a
lot over the years. My parents had one in a 2-story house years ago. It
performed pretty well, but over the years they had it, they replaced
several burned out motors, and it was not due to lack of maintenance. I
don't recall the brand.

I'm assuming it's missing a 0. I can't imagine it costing only $100.

Maybe they just ran a long hose from a Shop Vac up throu a hole in the
floor.

Your right. Cost was around $800 for the vac and $100 per interior outlet
installed
