While it seems like this is best fit for something along the lines of an RV or a small home, I can't help but be intrigued by the Intervac. It's basically a small canister that can be placed inside a wall, creating something similar to a central vac inlet, but with the motor and bag all self-contained. My hopes would be that since the unit is inside the wall, the sound would be dampened enough the noise level could be lower than an actual canister. I'd love to try one of the "remote mount" setups where the motor would be placed behind the wall, and on the other side would be just the suction inlet. Then it could at least look like a real central vac.
Has anyone seen one of these or it's cousin, the Garagevac, which looks to be the same unit with a tool caddy? While I doubt I'll ever buy one, it has piqued my curiosity.

I have had one of these for a couple of years. The one I bought hangs on the wall and the halo around it holds the hose. It also holds the basic tool set and has a hanger for the floor brush adjustable metal wand and brush.
This vac has a hepa synthetic bag and a motor filter. They have two choices of hose. Stretch or 30 ft Central vac hose. I chose the stretch. It has a lot of pull back so I had them make another stretch with a special end to attach to the old. That way I have a more managable hose to get to all corners of my garage. They did warn that if I used the stretch capability there would be a suction loss. I could actually extend this halfway down my drive, but the suction decreases alot, but I just wanted it to avoid the pull back and easier storage... I still have it, and recently I broke a glass dish in my kitchen and used it to vacumm up the shards of glass in my kitchen. Worked great for that. I am intrigued by the central vac in the wall unit. They did not have this when I got mine. They are fast shipping and I still order replacement bags from them. Good to deal with. Hope that helps, Bud Mattingly PR-21 |
