I have a Nutone that has been installed since 1978 and have not had one
problem with it since. Well, wait.......I DID have a clog when my son
decided to vacuum up some French toast one time. Other than that, no
problems.

I was at a cistomer's house the other day and she had an option I want to
install wjhen I redo my kitchen. It was mounted on the kickplate of her
kitchen sink. She called it a "central dustpan". Basically you can sweep the
floor with a broom and then step on a small lever to open a door (which
kicks the central vac on) and you sweep it into the opening. I just thought
that would be really handy to have for cleaning up in the kitchen without
having to drag the hose out.

Anyone know what the real name of the accessory is?
