I just got a Dirt Devil Central Vacuum...I was out doing a little layout work to see what works best. I have the option of either having it close to the floor like an elec. outlet nearby, or having it 16 inches off the floor above said outlet.
It may sound silly to consider how far a person has to bend over to hook it up, but down next to the floor is a more tidy install inside the cabinet area.
If I had it raised, I would need to use a hose from the outlet to the vacuum and it would be more convenient to use, but I loose a little space inside the cabinet to configure it.
I have the parts to go either way already in hand.

Which would you do? I don't know how far off the floor they are usually installed.
