Central vacuum

[Captbarryw]

Finally getting around to trying the central vacuum. Definitely should have brought the dyson.

Just a quick tip for other new owners... if it doesn’t work, pull the basement storage walls out and plug it in... small oversight 1 million and one for assembly crew I guess...

I’ve pulled all the interior panels out of the basement area. Wow what a mess, both in execution and the large amount of trash left behind. With a small amount of thought, storage down there could easily be doubled.

If I could figure out how to post a pic I would.

Also, be sure the filter bag is in the vac properly. Mine was just stuffed in and not installed properly.

The bag in mine was also just stuffed in there.

Can’t say I see a need for this thing anyhow. As far as convienance goes it’s a step in the wrong direction. 20 years ago it would have been nice.

Will likely remove the entire unit after this trip.

Oh brother, I'll check mine now.

During our walk-through at delivery, our dealer made a point to show us the central vac, how it worked and how to install the bags. Ours works well and we find it very convenient. Especially so since we have 2 dogs who usually travel with us. With one being a very fluffy husky mix, keeping the fluff under control is a constant battle.

Yeah I agree.

I have a 200 lb English mastiff and blue tick with me. There is no comparison how quick and easy a cordless vacuum is compared to messing with this. Not to mention in mine at least, you have to crawl up in the hole to change the bag.

For me, I don’t like it.

Our 398 TH is 95% hard floors. A broom and a mop.
No doubt GD listened to customers.
Our last TH was all carpet. Never carpet again.
