HOMEOWNERS: Do you have Central-Vac?
Im looking into getting Central-Vac for the new home this week.
We have it all pre-wired as I paid for it when we were having the house bulit over the summer.. Now im looking into getting the system installed. About 1500.00 for the one I want. Is it worth it?? Anyone here have that shit? |
the one i had was real weak but it came with the house so I really don't know much about it.
|
yes its worth it... especially if your wife has to do the cleaning... even if you have a maid and a big house its worth it... in florida my 4000sq house had it, and when you are cleaning that many carpets, it looked like a lifesaver...

Im getting the morepowerful one... (so they say) but i dont want to fork over 1500.00 bucks on something a 300.00 vaccum can do from Sears. |

My wife doesnt clean... If she did, I would buy a 100.00 vaccum and let her deal with it.. I do the fucking cleaning... Why do you think Im willing to fork over 1500.00??? Sucks to work out of the home. You get stuck with cleaning... But I did get a landscape company to do my yardwork for me!! Maybe when we have a baby Ill get a house keeper as well. All my frineds have a house keeper, but never growing up around that shit it just seems strange having some person in the home cleaning as I sit here in my office naked posting on GFY. |
It's alright. I have it and my girlfriend has it; hers is better.

Our fucking vaccum doesnt suck.. I want something that sucks as hard as a 1500.00 LasVegas whore. |
make sure it's a bagless unit - mine has bags and I fucking HATE it.
|
See, if you had kids you wouldnt need to all that, delegate the work ,and spend the 100 on the vacuum :1orglaugh

ok making the call...
I think im gunna get it. shit........ |
1500.00 for a fucking vacum..
Just seems silly.. |
bone...... I saw an episode of MTV Cribs with some BMX guy....Dave Mirra? anyway, in the kitchen there was a little slot with a lever you could push with your foot that was attached to the central vac so you could just sweep those annoying kitchen crumbs over to the slot and it would suck them up!
|
i don't have any carpet in my house, all tile
but maybe i should put one in just for the hell of it |

Shit.. Ill pay for that one! |

Is that what you call the little black guy who comes to the house to clean? |
Oh Nevermind...
Im thinking of Kirby Puckett.. |
My folks had one of those. I hope the new ones have better suction than the 70's ones. My parents used to really complain when the vac wouldn't work, I guess fixing it was expensive.
They ended up with a dirt devil from Target. We don't have a maid, but we have a lawn person. Totally worth it. Good luck with your new house. |
Shop Vac with a Hepa filter. All you need man.

Compare the HP and CFM on each model they have and divide the costs... see if its going to screw you to get the largest they have. Then call around and see what other companies have too. They can vary more than you think. ;-)
Also see if they have a model HOUSE to see it in... not in their showrooms... (You might want to get some info on installation of that models lines and keep an eye on the installer... they take shortcuts sometimes which will mess up the performance. And $1500?? Pshaw... they were selling $1500 PUSH sweepers in the 70's. lol They even came with a spray gun for painting cars. You name it and those things had an attachment. You guys missed an awful lot when the door to door salesmen went out. ;-)P |
IVe seen those!!
They are Orange arent they!! When I used to paint houses in Highschool Summers we had one. Those things are cool!!! But not what im looking for really... But yeah those bithces can suck hard cock!!! They are bulky and big!! Good for the garage.. But if I get this central vac I wont need a garage vaccum.. |

Now all we have are door to door salesmen trying to sell magazines, and preach the word of the Lord. |

Damn... She sucks hard, and she blows!!! |
Put a wig on her and she's perfect!

I have it pre wired too. But a regular VAC is just as good.

the good shopvac is the silver one

Also look into the cleanouts if the thing is a serial pipe unit... Or one clog and you are outta business until roto rooter comes and charges you thru the nose for messing with auguring a plastic pipe out. lol

I have it, but the help cleans the house, so I am not sure if it was worth putting in the house or not. If the $1500 is going to put a dent in your wallet, I would have the maid lug the vacuum around. |
I have central vac but dont use it as much as the regular vac.
|
Personally, this is how I see this issue...You only need this if you have a multi-level house. In that case, invest in a good HEPA vacuum for each level of your house to save your back and knees. Otherwise, save about $1200 and get an awesome $300ish vacuum.
Or better yet, buy the roomba. I have my doubts about this though. http://www.sharperimage.com/us/en/ca... uestid=361947 |
