    Buying powernozzle in Europe

    Hmm...I've had a youtube commenter who's name escapes me at the moment say that where he was from Lindhaus was sold almost exclusively by janitorial supply companies. Perhaps see if you can find a local-ish dealer for them or reach out to Lindhaus Directly to see if they can point in you the...

    Buying powernozzle in Europe

    It perplexes me that major power nozzle makers like Wessel Werk, Sebo and Lindhaus are all European companies and yet they're seemingly difficult to find in Europe. One thing though. I may be incorrect here but the QDC lindhaus nozzles i've seen use a wand that have a hole vs a pin in it. Is...

    Compact model C2

    Oh you're correct it was just a model 1. You bought one off me not too long ago now. I did find it too tight with that bag and a disposable and had to bend the latch batch into place afterwards.

    Compact model C2

    Had a similar issue with the C1 I had. There just isn't enough clearance on the lid for both the cloth and disposable bag, force them into place and you risk bending the latch.

    Kirby Hose Conundrum

    There's definitely something off about that hose but i can't tell exactly where the problems begin. That attachment end and the cuff it attaches to are definitely not OEM, it bears a strong resemblance to an oreck buster B hose. Now the part i'm confused about is the hose itself. It's lacking...

    Measuring CFM?

    It stands up logically. I spoke to our HVAC guy who, while he told me the calculation of CFM is something he's not super comfortable with, to think of it like a funnel and hose filled with water. The hose is going to be the point with the most resistance but when they're working in a system the...

    Measuring CFM?

    Being so long ago and having no documentation of the condition of the machine it's hard to say why it pulled those numbers. It should have pulled closer to a 7/7.5 really. I'd imagine the post motor hepa filter is probably partially responsible, or maybe the cloth bag was dirtier than thought.

    Riccar R27

    Avoiding tariffs does seem to be a very likely aspect to it. I am curious though being out of the industry what specific issues were they having with them? I don't think we'll see a shift back to US manufacturing with them. Sad too, they were once a pretty reputable brand but they've definitely...

    what is this ?

    I saw that too and was like....what am I looking at? I thought at first it was some sort of small model but then scrolling through the images they appeared to be like a real tool set so it's like....okay so it's like an AI generated image then? I don't understand the purpose of that. If one were...

    Measuring CFM?

    This is like watching the two smart kids with different answers arguing.... I'm going to play Devil's advocate here and ask this question. When we place machines like Kirbys or Royals onto our airflow boxes and the opening from said airflow box is 2" does this then mean our measurements are...

    Measuring CFM?

    Okay before I add to this just know I don't consider my measurements to be the be all end all I think of them as a Ballpark as we're going to have environmental factors that effect our measurements, from electrical variants to environmental factors like elevation and I'd imagine things like...
