Yeah, I don’t think it’s worth adding retroactively to a house, but I certainly didn’t mind living in a house that had one.
I’ve never encountered these myself, but apparently some houses have a similar system but without the external tubing. In those, you would sweep debris under a thing that resembled a baseboard radiator, then flick a switch or press a button or something and it would magic the debris away. I doubt those are as clog resistant though.
That’s really weird, and I imagine absolute hell to fix if it clogs (or breaks in any way), but jealous af, that’s so cool
My parent’s house had one. It was used at least one a week for the entire time I lived there. To my knowledge it never clogged.
The tubing was huge compared to a more traditional vacuum, which I imagine helped.
Well shit, looking into them now I’m gonna have to consider them when it’s time for my wife and I to buy a good vacuum if we own a house by then

You see those at hair salons a lot.
Makes sense!
