Abstract
The present invention is directed to improvements in the operation and design of a vacuum cleaning system installed within an aesthetically appealing housing. The invention advantageously incorporates a vacuum motor and debris canister design that is positioned within a slide out drawer assembly for quick removal of the motor and debris cannister from the housing. The vacuum motor'"'"'s suction is directed to a pan that is substantially flush mounted with the floor. Debris from the floor is then moved into proximity of the pan where it is then suctioned into a pan that is substantially flush with the floor. The debris ultimately being deposited within the debris cannister of the vacuum cleaning system.
