If Men Vacuumed
I think that we could make a fortune! We could market them in green (my perferred color), orange, blue, red, whatever! What wife wouldn't support this purchase if it got hubby to pitch in???

Speaking of vacuuming I just bought my wife a new Dyson man does that thing work. It has more suction than my large shop vac.

My wife is real happy with the roomba (remote robotic vacuum). It is a little saucer shaped disk that really works - everyone comes to see it go under the beds - work its way around chairs. Its a real conversation piece and goes for about $200.

CUTE, but a zero turn would be easier, when the new house is done I'll keep the kirby upstairs and get a dyson for the downstairs. I wish they were around when I bought my kirby!!!!!

Guys -
You are missing the chance for a great project; put in a central vacuum system. These things are real power houses and you can run outlets everywhere, upstairs and downstairs - great to have one in the garage. You just plug in a hose and go to work with all the attachments you could want. If you do it yourself, it will be a lot cheaper than a Kirby.

Ditto the central vac. Put one in for the wife for Christmas. A Nutone cv450. was told by dealers not to go bagless, they cost a lot more and are nasty to clean. only run about $850 with me installing, took less than one day. but the best part is the dirt and noise is outside. is cleaner than a heppa filter.

I put a nutone central vac in my house 16 years ago. Installed it myself. It has the collection bag that you dispose of when filled and it still works great.
I just thought that the green machine in my picture looked like fun.

If Men Vacuumed
For anyone putting in a central vacuum system, I stumbled across a nifty little piece that no system should be without, especially if you have 'little folks', two legged or four in the house.
It is a little trap door that goes into the toe kick panel of the kitchen cabinets in some out of the way corner. It has a little flap that opens out like a dust pan. You sweep everything up to it and flip it open, when the door opens the vacuum comes on and sucks up the debris, then just flip it shut.
They cost about $50 and if you have a pipe nearby they are a cinch to install.
Best of luck.

I saw those little kick plate trap doors too. Was planning on installing one this summer when I redo the kitchen floor. Glad to hear that they work good.
Thanks

Oh BTW, it does seem that men are interested in vacuuming even if they don't have a machine like the one in my picture. All we seem to need is the special vacuuming toys like Kirbys, Dysons, Roomba, or even better yet - CENTRAL VAC!!!  :0)
