central house vacuums

Carol for dog hair a swifter is much better then a broom. You do have to remember to buy new pads for it.

@Nyboy I have a Swiffer. Also have broom with rubber bristle. All work, Just HATE Dog hair in the house. I think he needs to LIVE outside. After all he is a hunting dog.

It's amazing how much hair a dog can lose and still not be bald isn't it?
My outside dogs with indoor visiting privileges leave a lot of hair. Especially Larka!
She's about 10 times bigger than Wren and loses about 20 times more hair.
I have one of those commercial floor sweepers (pre swiffer style) and it does a great job, but those little hair bunnies hide under the furniture and I have to get after them with a vacuum hose.
I can't imagine the hair if the dogs were in all the time.

Ummm ! Wanting a central house vacuum system and installing one in an existing house ( weight bearing structural supports , need to drill holes in 2 x 4 studs , or through floor joists may weaken the walls / floor supports , new sheetrock, tape and texture , repaint ) may be two different things. When one gets a quote for the installation one will rethink it . Yes, it can be done, but the best time as well as the least expensive to install the vacuume system is at the planning stage and new construction.

No, but how about one of those Roomba things? My step daughter has one and they like it a lot.

Roomba's are great on hard floors. They leave a trail on carpets. But, they keep you honest between vacuumings. I have had 2 -they do not last too long, given the price.

Pre-vacuum? Never heard of doing that. My Nutone system picks up everything first time through.
