    The hack that can save pre-release version of Dyson V16

    I'm definitely referring to Absolute Rainbow and the ironically named Vacuum Facts.

    They won't, they exist to be trolls.

    Wanting to Test Vacuums

    Just wait until my Shark® Navigator™ review comes out and I reveal the simple fix. It's so obvious, I don't know how anyone isn't talking about it yet. It would only take a moment to describe, but I'm just too busy. Trust me though. Shark is truly at the top of the game—the peak of vacuum...

    Wanting to Test Vacuums

    There's actually one small, simple hack to the Shark Navigator that makes it the best vacuum possible. More power than central vacuums, lighter than stick vacuums, higher capacity than shop vacuums... It's a shame they released it in such a state. It's such an easy fix to make, anyone could do...

    Wanting to Test Vacuums

    You are correct that airflow though the instrument is not constant along the cross section, but the tool should be calibrated to account for that.

    Wanting to Test Vacuums

    Most of that is relevant for measuring just the motor performance and system restriction (which is an important metric), but what I was pointing out is that his setup gives some information about the interface between the cleaner head and the surface being cleaned. I don't think the .8...

    Vane anemometers don't inherently read high. Or are you referring to the effects of turbulence and uneven air flow I mentioned?

    How so?

    Wanting to Test Vacuums

    I like that his method allows testing the interface between the cleaning head and surface being cleaned, instead of just the airflow and suction of the motor minus plumbing losses. I saw on another video that he taped the head to the box to get peak values, but I hope that he does unsealed tests...

    Main Equivalency! Which one would you take?

    Are you ok?

    Any equivalent fan I could use?

    I wouldn't. Vinegar will corrode the metal. If heavy corrosion buildup is your concern, there are better ways to remove it that will do less damage to the part. Otherwise just clean it with a good detergent. Could also use an ultrasonic cleaner if you have one.

    Any equivalent fan I could use?

    What exactly is the issue with the fan? It looks structurally sound from the picture you provided. Vibrations caused by the fan would be because the fan is unbalanced, which based on your picture would mean that either one of the impellers inside has become at least partially detached and...

    Main Equivalency! Which one would you take?

    If only we had options besides 'old machines with large center belts' and 'Dyson's clone of the uncleaned center strip concept'. I guess the technology just isn't there yet...

    Main Equivalency! Which one would you take?

    The saga continues lol... I do have a question though. Which brands would you say are best and worst in regard to parts compatibility across generations? Seems easy enough to accomplish to a fair degree if they cared to do so.
