(MONROE, WA) — Introducing Hide-A-Hose – the first vacuum to inspire you to clean more often. Really! Once tested, most homeowners say they would never go back to a traditional central vacuum system. With Hide-A-Hose, the drudgery of lugging a bulky hose from inlet to inlet and then coiling and storing it in a closet is a thing of the past. It makes vacuuming fast and easy.

Simply pull out the amount of hose you need from the inlet valve, connect your cleaning wand with attachment and begin vacuuming. When finished, detach the cleaning wand from the hose and let the suction from the central vacuum power unit retract the hose back into the wall.

Hide-A-Hose makes vacuuming more convenient and allows you to clean your house faster. Each inlet has a dedicated hose stored in the SmartTube™ system hidden within the walls, attic or crawl space. And since there’s no need to store the hose in a closet, longer hoses can be used, thus reducing the number of inlets by about half. A reduced number of inlets means you save time otherwise spent connecting and disconnecting the hose. The length of the hose is customizable and each inlet can cover up to 2,300 square feet. In addition, the Hide-A-Hose system saves time by retracting the hose back into the wall in seconds as opposed to the chore of storing it in the closet.

“Hide-A-Hose is the next generation of central vacuums,” says Rod Drivstuen, the company’s president. “There are so many benefits to central vacuums over portable vacuums. But people don’t necessarily find central vacuums more convenient, because they have to lug a bulky hose from inlet to inlet and up and down the stairs before finally wrestling it back into the closet where it takes up precious storage space. Hide-A-Hose brings convenience to central vacuuming, which is evident by our 40 percent sales increase this year.”

In addition to its functional features, Hide-A-Hose is up to five times more powerful than conventional vacuum cleaners that can spread particles and allergens throughout your home and the air you breathe. A recent clinical study found that using a central vacuum could improve allergy symptoms 40 to 60 percent. Many green building programs recommend, some even require, central vacuums.
