$200 off Hoover WindTunnel Central Vac at Costco and Costco.ca, from 21Sept2009 to 04Oct2009. Reg. price $680. Taxes applied to reg. price.

Comes with all accessories, including power head for carpets, and all installation hardware (tubing, glue, faceplates, low-voltage wire, etc.), and a kick-plate interface for kitchen.

I bought and installed this unit and am happy with it... excellent value with the $200 coupon!

+1 to this. A great addition to any house, and this package includes everything you need to go. If you have a roughed in central vac (which most new houses have), installation is a snap.

How is the noise

This is an instant rebate, so you don't need the coupon. Great deal and it includes the floor sweep option that allows you to add a suction vent so you never have to use a dust pan!

Does Costco's website offer in-store pickup?

Description at top lists the attachments. Spoke to a couple of CVAC stores that sell Hoover and they tell me that the motor in this is small and may not be suitable. They were willing to price match but recommended a better unit.

I installed the previous model of this Hoover (the S5620 kit, I believe) in my house in 2003 and it has worked great.

I got mine for $399 ($200 off as well), my first purchase at Costco.

Like you, the new house was roughed in on the top two floors and unfinished in the basement.

I used the provided installation kit to connect to the rough-in end coming from the upstairs, added an outlet in the basement, and attached to the unit which I installed in the laundry room.

When we added an attached garage and new master bedroom/bath addition this past year i tapped into the line and added another run with outlets in the new bedroom and garage underneath, still using the pipes from the installation kit.

The outlets are easy to install at the rough in points, just a low voltage connection.

Cheers,

Dave

How many sq. ft is your house? Also, is there a lot of work putting an outlet in the basement (i'm trying to figure out what I would need to do to get a line there without cutting up drywall on the first floor)? My garage also has 2 pipes coming out to it.

Our home is under construction and when I spoke to the Central Vac sub-contractor he said his friend has this unit and it works very well. He recommended buying from Costco as his cost price for a comparable unit would be a couple hundred more.

He said he could do the install with the unit in the garage for $250.

We have a new house with CVac rough-in to the basement. We are hoping to install the CVac in the garage which will require some additional piping to be installed.

Been looking at CVac's all around and similarly featured units will cost $700 plus, and it doesn't include the accessories (this package comes with a electronic powerhead) and installation materials. All that stuff will add another $200 or so. At $479 this is a great deal.

The CVAC stores are trying to screw you over. The unit handles up to 5000sqft of home and the suction is more than adequate for even the longest of runs. You will be hard pressed to find a better unit for the same price.

our house have the CVac roughin terminated into the furnace room. we have installed the Central VAC in the garage by cutting and reversing some of the joint pipes. luckily, I know we have a pipe going from the basement to the second floor of the house behind the common wall of the house and garage. OPened up the wall and cut the pipe and installed a junction.

all in all, its a good location as the vacuum is loud (cant imagine how loud it will be if we installed it in the furnace room)
