I have been reading various opinions of different brands of central
vacuums on the net, and I don't know if we got a "lemon" or what. We
built a new house about a year and a half ago and had an Electrolux
installed during construction. From the very first, I questioned
whether the suction was strong enough, as i would find cat hair and
"fuzz" on the darker areas of my color block area rug. In addition to
the poor suction, I really had issues with dragging a 30 foot hose
around. We have a timberframe home, with large rooms, and it was
quite a job. Finally in desperation, we purchased a Hoover Wind
Tunnel, and for the last two weeks I have been dumping and dumping and
dumping cat hair and lint, dust, whatever because this Hoover is
picking up SO MUCH MORE than I could ever hope the Electrolux to do.
Everything I have read on the internet tells me that the central
should pick up loads more, with better suction, but I have to say, if
anyone were to ask me, I would say "STICK WITH AN UPRIGHT"!
Does anyone have any ideas as to why my central unit doesn't suck?
All in all, I think even if it did work efficiently, I would still
rather drag around a 30 foot electrical cord than a 30 foot heavy
hose.
Thanks for your opinions,
Pat
