I have a central vacuum vented outside & I have no problems at all in fact it's been a month since I have dusted & the air filter hasn't been changed in 4 months now. My house is sealed very well, just had the energy test performed & all I needed was more insulation in the attic. Windows, doors & any other crevices were not showing any smoke being blown or pulled through. Even the exhaust fan in the kitchen & bathrooms weren't leaking neither was the exhaust from the clothes dryer. The dampers on those do exactly what they are supposed to do. I don't know about other homes but mine is efficient as they come both energy & comfort.

If your house is super sealed where does the air come from when a central vacuum pulls it out of the house? | ||

The world's first vacuum cleaner collector, and the Grandfather of the hobby, was Stan Kann. Stan started collecting vacuums in the early 1930's. He always said (when talking about Hoover's terrible filtration) that "nobody ever died from the dust".
Having lived through decades of inefficient filtration systems (Kenmore canisters from the 1970's were terrible, as were Eureka type H bag models), no one really was too bothered by dust UNTIL the Rainbow salesmen made them aware of it. In my personal opinion, I like HEPA filtration portable vacuums better than Central Vacs. Not all centrals are vented outside, in fact, only VAC U FLO and other cyclonic machines with no filter, require it. To me, the 'boa constrictor' which I call the hose, makes the Central cumbersome and awkward to use. Give me a good 8 pound upright with HEPA bag, and I'm good to go. | ||
