[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have one that I have used since they host a lot of family events and we try to help out. I would never bother with one and they aren't huge fans of it either. Lugging around the hose/ and or accessories you need to do a good job isn't much less of a hassle than just carrying a good vacuum, and the performance of the central vacuum system just isn't the same as a regular vacuum. Also, the central vacuum system technology is much harder to update since its part of your home, whereas vacuum technology is changing. My parents don't use theirs anymore. They keep a Meile on one floor and a Shark on the other. [/quote]

The vacuum itself is just installed on the wall so that could be updated at anytime.  You can always buy different attachments.  I personally love ours and would definitely install. [/quote]

Our house has one.  I'd never seen or heard of these before moving here.  My then two year old got the surprise of his life when he opened one of the little doors to a hose portal the day we moved in.  I'm not sure what he was expecting, but certainly not a blast of sound and huge suction vortex.  I still laugh when I think of the look of horror and shock on his face.  I work at feeling bad about it, but it was such a perfect slapstick moment.

One other nice thing on the big house front depending on layout and your tolerance for chaos and mess:  we were able to turn a chunk of our basement into a sport-court like space.  Our kids have had a blast playing soccer, floor hockey, etc. down there when the weather is bad or it's too dark to play outside. [/quote]
