With a good central vac why would you EVER want a "regular" vacuum
cleaner??????

We had a Beam for about 20 years, and it outcleaned ANY portable vac I
ever tried. I replaced it last year with a new CanaVac unit and it has
WAY more suction - it will literally lift carpet.

The central vacuum is too fraught with weak spots.
Like how do I debug when it doesn't work?

A whole lot easier than tearing apart many of the "standard" vacuums
today.. I can isolate why mine doesnt start by turning it on manually
with the unit-mounted switch. If it runs then and not when plugging in
the hose, it is a remote wiring issue. If not it is a unit problem.
The "switches" on the outlets are all in parallel, so if none work you
know where to look (common wiring). If only one doesn't work you also
know where to look.
