<html><div> I had a central vac in a previous house - I think it was beam.</div>
<div>Worked great and yes the hose was quite long - didn't have the sweep port but I sure wanted one!</div>
<div>That was years ago though.</div>

<div>When my wife's sister passed away we got her Kirby - I love that thing! It is a Cadillac with the drive but no onboard tools with this model. Nut if you have lots of plain floor to vac - this is the device. The wife doesn't like it because it is so heavy. Her tool of choice is a Hoover wind tunnel that works well, has neat onboard tools, is bagless and relatively easy to dump/clean, and didn't break the bank. </div>

<div>I recently used my mom's Dyson and it worked well. I was particularly pleased with the integral pull out hose in the handle but no way would I pay the crazy price for a new one.</div>
