Cleaning that leaves nothing to put away
With Hide-A-Hose the hose retracts into the tubing behind your wall when you are done. Nothing gets coiled up, nothing gets stored in a closet, and nothing gets carried from room to room. What changes is not how you clean. It is what your house has to hold.
The difference shows up when you finish
How you clean does not change. You open an inlet, plug in, and clean the room. The difference arrives at the end of it, in what there is left to do.
Nothing to coil up
When you have finished, the hose retracts into the tubing behind the wall. There is no length of it left in your hands to gather in.
No closet holding a hose
The hose already has a place, and that place is inside the wall. There is nothing to store between cleanings.
Nothing carried room to room
What travels with you is what is in your hand. Nothing stands in a corner waiting for the next time.



30 to 60 feet of hose, and all of it lives in the wall
Hide-A-Hose hoses are made in lengths from 30 to 60 feet. Whichever length a home is set up with, the whole of it sits inside the tubing between cleanings, and the only part ever out of the wall is the part you are holding.
A hose long enough to reach comfortably around the room it serves is a real object with a real size. That is the part worth picturing, because in a Hide-A-Hose home it does not have to live anywhere.
Which length suits your home is one of the things we work out with you in person, along with where the inlets belong.


Watch what happens at the wall
Two more short clips. The first is the hose out in a room, at work. The second is the inlet itself, close up.
Why the hose can stay in the wall
None of that is a clever bit of storage. The hose is not put away somewhere out of sight, it is kept inside the same tubing the system already runs through the house.
- It lives in the tubing
- At the inlet, the hose is stored inside the tubing behind the wall. That is the same tubing the suction travels through.
- The unit draws it back
- The suction from the power unit is what pulls the hose back into the wall when you are done with it.
- You take out what you need
- You pull out the length the room in front of you needs, and the rest of it stays where it is.
- It fits the tubing, not the machine
- Hide-A-Hose connects to the tubing inside your wall rather than to the power unit itself. That is why the name on your unit is not what decides the answer.

Whichever house you have
The two sides split on one question and nothing else: is there a central vacuum in the house today. Either way it starts with a free walk-through of your home.
You already have a central vacuum
It is an upgrade for a system that is already in your wall, whoever installed it. Whether your existing tubing suits it is one of the things the free estimate answers.
Repair and service for the system you have →You do not have one yet
Hide-A-Hose is decided as part of the system itself, while the route through the house is still being worked out rather than revisited afterwards.
A home that is already built →A home still being built →Hide-A-Hose is an MD brand

Hide-A-Hose is MD's own brand, and we are an authorized dealer. The new systems we sell and install are MD. Service and repair are a different matter and always have been: those cover every brand of central vacuum, including a system somebody else put in.
