Hi Total,

As usual, I think it just another brainstormed widget vendors hope to make a little money on.  If you miss the drawer thingy and stuff falls to the floor, they have those little ports your baseboards that you can sweep  stuff into to be sucked away by your central vac.  Yet, heaven forefend, that would actually mean touching a broom.

Although I'm all for the idea of central vacuum systems, I wonder as to what kind of powerhouse system you'd have to put in to support  the use of doo-dads like that.  I think one video I viewed had at least two drawer vacs in different spots in one kitchen.

Of course, if I had the money to foot the bill for stuff like that I'd probably have somene in two or three days a week instead.  I'd happily tell whomever, "Go do this . . . go do that," from my easychair.

Hi Andy,

The company that sells this alo sells a catch-all (the maker calls it an "interceptor") that's meant to capture any wet or gooey stuff before it gets to the main tubing the central vac system or under-counter mounted vac  you need to power it.  That however would also mean having to keep the catch-all clean to inhibit odors, etc.

I suppose I qualify as a card carrying capitalist but sometimes I wonder  -- yes, even me who'll buy anything once.  I've just come upon the Drawer Vac.  It's half vacuum, half garbage disposal?

Check out the link below and tell me if this would work for you in your kitchen.
