Great job as always mike. Love how clean all your installs are

Love the installation/project videos with Mike. Btw, chilli mac is hands down the best MRE!

Hey Mike, Great job as always looking forward to the hidden hose install That should be very interesting. you and Matt talked about it in one of the other vacuum videos I think the remote on off for the vacuum would be a killer feature. I don’t know of any, but I’m guessing there are but probably very few vacuums that you could turn on or off from the nozzle end. I’m hoping you guys can dial that in an offer that as a feature that would definitely make me wanna buy one just for that feature alone anyways hope everyone is well at OG. You guys have a great one.

Another fine install Mike! I like how the switch is at perfect Matt toe height compared to perfect Matt finger height at Helen house.

I guess it's all personal preference, but I really like that white tank/canister instead of the typical black canisters you get with other manufacturers. I think it blends in better. Looks like a very sharp set up! I would love to have one of these set up's in my own garage. I use my vacuum more than any other tool in my garage probably and having a set up like this would be so convenient. Looking forward to the options available as a package with everything I would need to do an install.

Great job again Mike! You guys should set up a channel (Shop time with Mike)

What's the ballpark cost going to be for this package? Looking forward to pre ordering!

Super clean install as always Mike. But isn't the cannister a bit close to the reel? Looks like its going to be difficult to empty/replace the bag.

Basic question: did you use nuts to keep the receptacle attached to the faceplate? It looks like it but couldn't quite tell

Need a really great set of attachments including a very small attachment to get into small spaces

Yeah…that’s a must. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of great options out there.

Was there a ground to the metal junction box itself? I do believe you need to connect a ground to the box itself.

It's on the backside, it's sandwiched to another 4 sq j-box

When will Mike’s be available in the store?

Should have put a switch at the upper junction box so you don't have to bend down to flip on the vacuum.

Stupid question, but how does the canister open? Not a whole lot of clearance above or below the tank. Does the canister need to be removed from the wall each time to empty it out?

There is a simple lid that sits on top. Then there is a bag inside.

Is there any reason why a flex hose can’t be used from the vacuum to the reel? Seems like it would make it so much easier.

No reason. It certainly could be used.

I hear you Mike on the purple primer. Keep that away from the Swisstrax at all costs lol

I would have swapped the upper outlet for a switch or added one to the box for conviene.

@@CrispusAttucks2315 It's the same components it's just mounted on the wall differently. The hose reel is in the way of the vacuum lid in my opinion and I prefer left to right. Hence the power switch and vacuum mounted on the wall to the left of the hose reel.

Electrical code for wet locations??

what brand is the vacuum?

Why don't you hard wire the vacuums in? Like a light fixture. Wouldn't that look even cleaner. The same goes for the pressure washers.

The clearance between the top of the canister and the hose reel is too little imho. After having a central vac for 30 years I have some experience with them.

You should have just done a box offset on each side of the conduit instead of having to put a kick in it

Premium products come with premium prices. Can't afford it at one time? Finance it or buy it in pieces until you have a complete system. Still not an option? Make due with not so premium pieces. Plenty of folks wall mount ridgid vacuums and cheaper reels/hoses, they look just as cool and still perform well.
