Central vacuums have the same options as the canister vacuum, except you do not have to drag a canister behind you. In most cases, a central vacuum will also have superior suction. Huge warranties, no replacement bags or filters, less to break and low to zero maintenance costs make a central vacuum the ideal choice for any home. Years ago, people frowned upon central vacuum because of the long hose you drag behind you. The hoses would also crush and kink. Today’s hoses are crush and kink-proof as well as lightweight. If the hose is stepped on it, it automatically pops back into shape, and the hose is designed to swivel, preventing it from winding and kinking.

A central vacuum creates a healthy home environment and is easy to use. Did you know that the portable vacuum cleaner is one of the leading causes of airborne dust in the home? Cheap portable vacuum models let you pick up large debris and dust and, in effect, blow the smaller particles and allergens into the air your family breathes.

When purchasing a central vacuum, you have the option of a powerhead with a spinning brush and a floor brush with soft bristles. You can also choose from a host of other accessories to assist you in tasks like cleaning ceiling fans to vacuuming your car.
