Retractable Hose Systems
The Convenience of a Cordless Vacuum with the Power of a Central Vacuum
For decades, central vacuum systems have been known for their powerful cleaning performance, quiet operation, long lifespan, and superior filtration. Traditional central vacuum systems remain an excellent choice for many homes thanks to their simplicity, reliability, and tremendous cleaning power.
Over the years, however, homeowners often asked for a more convenient way to store and manage the vacuum hose itself. While traditional hose systems are lightweight and effective, carrying the hose from inlet to inlet and storing it between uses was sometimes viewed as less convenient than smaller portable vacuums.
Retractable hose systems were developed to solve this problem while preserving everything homeowners already love about central vacuum systems — powerful suction, quiet operation, superior filtration, and long-term reliability.
Modern retractable hose products from Vacuflo like the Chameleon, Vroom, Spot, and Vroom RetractVac systems allow the hose to remain neatly stored out of sight until it’s needed, delivering exceptional convenience without sacrificing cleaning performance.
For Whole-House Cleaning
The Chameleon Retractable Hose System is designed to provide convenient whole-home cleaning coverage with up to a 50’ cleaning hose and approximately 2,200 square feet of coverage from just one inlet valve. Unlike some retractable hose systems that require a large storage cavity inside the wall, Chameleon cleverly utilizes the existing central vacuum tubing itself to store the hose, making it an excellent option for both new construction and many existing homes.
When you’re finished cleaning, the powerful suction of the central vacuum system effortlessly retracts the hose back into the tubing for neat, out-of-sight storage. The Chameleon system is incredibly robust and easy to use, allowing the customer to lock the hose securely at any length while still featuring the convenient automatic lock at the end of the hose that makes the system simple to learn and operate.
Unlike some retractable hose systems that can place excessive wear on the hose or hose sock, Chameleon utilizes a heavy-duty 3D nylon locking ring that securely holds the hose in place without damaging the hose itself. Proudly Made in Ohio, the Chameleon Retractable Hose System is built for long-term durability and backed by an impressive 5-Year Warranty.
But what about the Garage?
The Vroom RetractVac (VRV) is one of the most convenient upgrades available for garages, workshops, and vehicle detailing areas. Utilizing the same smooth automatic locking mechanism found on the Chameleon Retractable Hose System, the VRV is designed in a compact configuration that is especially easy to install in garage environments.
VRV systems are commonly installed near the front of the garage, allowing you to easily clean vehicles both inside and outside the garage without dragging around a portable vacuum or extension cords. Available with either a 30’ or 40’ retractable hose, the VRV provides tremendous reach while keeping the hose neatly stored and out of the way when not in use.
Unlike traditional retractable hose systems that use a cloth hose sock, the VRV features a sockless hose design that is ideal for dirty garage floors and automotive use. This helps keep the hose cleaner while improving long-term durability in garage environments.
With a central vacuum system always ready to go, cleaning your vehicle becomes quick, easy, and convenient whenever you need it most. No more dragging out a shop vacuum or feeding quarters into a car wash vacuum just to clean your vehicle’s interior. The Vroom RetractVac gives homeowners a powerful built-in cleaning solution right inside their own garage.
The Vroom Retractable Hose is one of the most convenient additions you can make to a central vacuum system. Designed for quick cleanups in the areas where messes happen most often, the Vroom stores a retractable stretch hose neatly inside a compact 3” wide cabinet housing that can be installed in virtually any standard base cabinet.
Vroom systems are most commonly installed underneath kitchen or bathroom sinks, allowing the hose to remain hidden out of sight without interfering with shelves, storage space, or everyday cabinet use. Available with either an 18’ or 24’ stretch hose, the Vroom is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, pantries, laundry rooms, and other high-traffic areas where quick cleanups are needed constantly throughout the day.
Installed exactly where you need it most, the Vroom is ideal for the “3-second cleanups” — crumbs on the kitchen counters, dog food on the pantry floor or debris around a bathroom vanity. Simply pull out the hose, clean the mess, and let the hose retract neatly back into the cabinet when finished.
Unlike small handheld vacuums that constantly need recharged, emptied, or replaced after a few years, the Vroom utilizes the full power and dirt capacity of your central vacuum system. There are no batteries to charge, no tiny dust bins to empty after every use, and no loss of suction as the unit fills up.
Compact, convenient, and always ready to use, the Vroom makes everyday cleaning faster and easier without having to drag out a portable vacuum.
The Spot Retractable Hose System is essentially a Vroom designed for locations where there isn’t an appropriate cabinet available for installation. In many homes, areas like mudrooms, laundry rooms, bathrooms, pantries, and entryways may feature all drawers, open shelving, or limited cabinet space, making a traditional under-cabinet Vroom installation difficult or impossible.
The Spot solves this problem by providing the same convenient quick-cleanup functionality in a compact wall-mounted design that can be installed almost anywhere. Featuring a retractable stretch hose that stores neatly out of sight when not in use, the Spot is perfect for handling everyday messes exactly where they happen most often.
Whether it’s pet hair in the mudroom, laundry lint, crumbs in the pantry, dirt near an entry door, or hair around a bathroom vanity, the Spot allows you to quickly clean the mess without dragging out a portable vacuum. Simply pull out the hose, clean the area, and allow the hose to retract neatly back into the unit when finished.
Like the Vroom, the Spot utilizes the full power of your central vacuum system, eliminating the need for constantly charging and emptying small handheld vacuums. Compact, convenient, and always ready to use, the Spot makes everyday cleaning faster and easier in the spaces where quick cleanups matter most.
HS6000 Pro Retractable Hose System
The Hide a Hose HS6000 Pro is the newest and most advanced version of the popular Hide a Hose retractable hose system. Designed to combine powerful whole-home cleaning with improved convenience and ease of use, the HS6000 Pro features an upgraded hose valve and an easy-to-use hose locking mechanism that allows the user to comfortably secure the hose at the desired cleaning length while vacuuming.
Like other premium retractable hose systems, the HS6000 Pro stores the vacuum hose neatly inside the central vacuum tubing system, keeping the hose hidden out of sight until it’s needed. When cleaning is complete, the suction of the central vacuum system retracts the hose back into the tubing for convenient storage.
The HS6000 Pro is an excellent option for homeowners looking for the convenience of a retractable hose system while maintaining the powerful suction, quiet operation, and long-term reliability that central vacuum systems are known for.
