You'll never be truely impressed with a vac until you have central vac... Our house has it and the first time it grabbed one of those plastic grocery bags I thought "oh crap!" The pipe from the wall port to the vac itself is about 30' long and snakes around my basement (wierdest install ever) and would you believe that thing can pull a plastic bag through that in about 5 seconds? Its amazing. I emptied the can the day before yesterday for the first time since we bought the house a year ago. Found probably 3 plastic bags in it...
