I have 2 connections for my central vacuum, and I reach everywhere!! All dust, hair and other debris goes into a large tank in the garage, where the motor that powers the vacuum is. The lower part of the tank is removable, and the collected dirt and hair can than be dumped into a plastic kitchen can bag, and go into the trash barrel. I splurged, and bought the heavy-duty power wand, thinking if the dog hair. Glad I did. I have never had a problem with this system, which is several years old. I have changed 2 belts on the power head. The house is amazingly dust-free, and I live in a dusty area.
