The one we have is great. You just have to get it serviced every year.

Wouldn't you? It's an investment for convenience and you can actually go years without servicing but its worth the ~$100 if you don't take care of it.
I bet you don't even get your HVAC serviced yearly.

Scheduling and then letting someone into my house is an even bigger inconvenience.

Wrong, chud. You let them into your garage. They're also not trashy like some of the HVAC repair and pest control men.

It could be a suit and tie neighbor wearing a bowtie and a stovepipe hat, I still have to let him in and supervise. And he can service the main unit, but unless he's a ahapeshifter he won't reach the connection ports upstairs from the garage or basement, you BIPOC.

Not super familiar with Beam but I dealt with Honeywells for years and they soured me entirely on the concept
It's all so unnecessary and inconvenient anyway

I like being able to get the edges and corners and go under furniture with the central vac head. I think we only had it serviced a few times in 20 years and it only recently died from a lightning strike and it was $100 to replace the main board.

My mom has that same one at her house. It works pretty decently.
I came across a Hoover GUV for $75, which is similar but meant for garages (so the hose connects to the front rather than being hardpiped). Couldn't pass it up.

Interesting. That actually sounds really useful compared to dealing with a large shop vac.

Shopvac still has better overall suction and wet capability, but the Guv is tits when I just want to quickly vacuum off my work area or inside a car.
