Your responses are the cookie cutter ones. That’s the whole freaking point here.
Exhibit “(I lost count)”
Sounds like maybe someone is in fact motivated by “clicks and profits,”
Explaining it again for you: You continually link your own material to dodge others questions. Often you could easily respond with a sentence or two in good faith versus sending someone down a wild goose chase that frequently doesn’t answer the question anyway.
So we should only measure suction?
When have I ever measured suction on my channel? No, cleaning performance, obviously.
Okay... So did anyone (else) try to properly measure actual cleaning performance?
You need suction, airflow and agitation. One alone won't clean your house. A good vacuum has a balance of all three.
I still recall when I was a kid agitation came from arm muscles. We had a 1957 ( I believe ) Lewyt Big Wheel and I remember my mom scrubbing the carpets with that suction only floor nozzle like she was scrubbing a really dirty floor with a bristle brush, or holy stoning the teak deck of an old warship. I mean serious hard scrubbing, not just letting the nozzle glide over the carpet. That cleaned nothing. It was hard sweaty work. Flopping the rug over the clothes line and beating it with a broom stick was almost easier. And unlike the ads from that era she sure as heck wasn't wearing a dress, earrings and high heels !
The same vacuum with a suction only floor nozzle cleans, or should I say doesn't clean, much differently than it does with an electric power nozzle on the end of the wand. Agitation matters greatly.
Only the laboratories can measure it to industry standards. As long as you have a representative and reproducible method, you can make relative comparisons, which I do. Frickhelm probably fits that bill as he shows the trends you'd expect, and his results are consistent with mine, showing independent reproduction to some degree. There are issues though with some of the new technologies in the V16 that render both our testing insufficient for that particular machine, as you'll find out in my review. That's a problem for me because I'm not quite sure what to do about it yet. I have some ideas, but I'm too busy at the moment to work on it as a hobby. The V16 is amazing though, but also a victim of itself, uniquely.
@Vacuum Facts, so your and @frickhelm 's method(s) is(/are) the best, because it's (both) consistent, reproducible and representative, similar to laboratories' standard, but accessible and doable at home, especially if you have backed carpets (not shaggy rugs as Kirby fans would've suggested). Too bad reviewers focused on doing the big mess tests which are not representative. Such reproducible-yet-representative tests like yours should be the gold standard in YouTube vacuum cleaner reviews and tests, not the afterthought it currently is.
Yep, V16 is a tragic machine. It's precisely as my hypothetical review of it would describe. Too bad you refused to give away the true problems for us. But we do know the cause of all its sudden deficiency in performance as you and @frickhelm noticed: it has to do with Dyson brand's stupid recklessness. It's ridiculous and too dupe-like of them to launch the V16 in such crippling state.
Ok then, test a Sebo G4 or BS36, Lux D820 and something from Lindhause like a Healthcare Pro or Diamante. Compare them to the bagless vacuums. Test a modern Miele too. Don't be afraid.
-Another example of larger material is breakfast cereal. Anyone with children will understand this one.
He tested a Sebo Felix and found it very hard to disparage the actual cleaning results.
