    Vorwerk Kobold VK-150 from Japan, will run on US house current. German exotica in the far east.

    The VK140/VK150 are an absolute beast of a vacuum and you don't expect it from it's size, overall design, and very light weight. I imported a VK140 from the UK which is the same as a VK150 just in green and actually with slightly more power. It's the only vacuum I currently have where I can't...

    Help me decide: Nilfisk GD930, or Aerus, or something else

    The Lindhaus HF6 is a great option. It's a very large tub style bagged canister vacuum with a huge capacity. 3.5 gallon bag! It also offers sealed filtration with an optional HEPA or charcoal filter, very long 40 ft cord, very nice onboard tools with good storage, long 7 ft hose, and the M29R...

    Main Equivalency! Which one would you take?

    If we're talking specifically cordless vacuums you can't really get much closer to a corded vacuum than the Lindhaus Valzer L-Ion (also sold in red as the Karisma L-Ion). It's a Valzer/Karisma upright but cordless. It uses a DC version of Lindhaus' wonderful M30/PB12e powerhead, it's bagged of...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    No you wouldn't, you have zero desire to change your mind. Every single shred of evidence or testing thats not yours you have dismissed, going so far as to blame any Dyson reliability issues on the user. You come onto this forum with your high and mighty arrogant attitude that your testing, your...

    Dude really just called a vacuum created before James Dyson was even born a knock-off :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Thoughts on The Lindhaus Healthcare Pro 14in

    I have an older HF6 with a bad motor, I might able to try this. Does it say the wattage of the HF6 motor in that chart? I've noticed that all the newer HF6s are listed as being the 750W "EcoForce" model but thats only for Europe. The current U.S spec models are still 1050W they just went from a...

    Thoughts on The Lindhaus Healthcare Pro 14in

    That's interesting because their canisters are quite powerful and on par with the best German stuff. My Aria Platinum with the straight suction hose pulls about 90" of water lift, though the electric hose drops it a bit but its still 80"+. The newer HF6 does about the same with its...

    Sebo Announced Price Increases

    My dealer told me last month Lindhaus has already started increasing prices unfortunately. So far I believe its only on the uprights, not sure if the power nozzles have been affected yet. They're definitely my choice as well. The Sebo ET-1/2 are excellent but the Lindhaus PB line just has some...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Cyclones can develop smells too. I don't buy the idea of bags being particularly bad for the environment when you're still dumping the dirt from a bagless bin into the trash. It all goes to the same place where it's in your house garbage bag or your vacuum's bag. Any airflow/suction loss of a...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    Henry Quick solely based on it being bagged. Far less messy to dump and no cyclone assembly means less maintenance plus no complicated airpath that reduces airflow, therefore better for performance (a big deal on something with a small battery powered motor). I'd love one but the only drawback...

    Dyson engineering ineptitude and complacency

    I have a DC21 in my collection. I've had almost all the earlier non-Ball Dysons and of all those the the 21 is one of the better cleaners. Its got a ton of power too 55" working water lift/110" sealed water lift. I've had the later DC23 Motorhead as well which performed similarly. The primary...

    Best vacuum

    Best is definitely a central vac. Nothing beats it in terms of raw power. But for a non-CV it's a tie between the Sebo Airbelt D4 and the Lindhaus HF6 for me. Leaning more toward the Sebo because of the handle controls and the hose is much nicer than the electric hose that comes with the HF6...

    Pick your poison: Main equivalency!

    God, OP I am so ****ing sick of the non-stop spam garbage and constant berating towards members of this forum from you and Vacuum "Facts" when we don't agree with you. This place was far better before you two showed up.

    Favorite central/canister cleaning head?

    Seconding Lindhaus power nozzles. I've had a couple HF6s with PB14s and a PB12e on an Aria Platinum, they're all fantastic. The standard PB12 comes with a single-chevron brush roll but the variant included with the Aria Platinum comes with a dual-chevron brush roller that improves the cleaning...

    What is your favourite kirby

    The early Generation models are my favorite (G3/4/5). Their design and look (color schemes) were so emblematic of the early-mid 1990s and as someone born in that era they bring me great nostalgia. I remember those being around as a very young vacuum enthusiast. One of my uncles actually had a...
