    Need a modern vac with less than 55" h20 (suction)

    @vacuumdevil / PR Yeah I was afraid of that. Ill keep looking though just in case there is an outlier.

    Need a modern vac with less than 55" h20 (suction)

    Oh and it needs to be an upright as well.

    Need a modern vac with less than 55" h20 (suction)

    I am working on a demo and my options are to go by a ton of vacuums and test each one to see if I can find one with 55" of water lift or less OR ask you all to see if you know of any. A couple restrictions: No Kirby or Sanitaire fan units Preferably the model would be something currently on...

    Shocked! The Dyson V10 Beat the Sebo Felix 1 with Embedded Sand on Carpet

    I honestly was not expecting this but the Dyson V10 had a perfect score in the agitation test I just got done with. I based the test off the Consumer Reports tests and I was really careful with keeping everything reproducible. What do you think?

    Deep Clean Agitation Test Ideas

    Does anyone have any ideas to consistently score vacuum cleaners ability to agitate and deep clean carpets? I have used a sand in medium pile carpet test in the past where I measure dust bins before and after, is that the best I can do or is there a more clever way?

    Which Bagged Vacuum Company Do You Think Has The Biggest R&D Budget

    I have recently seem there is a lot to like with bagged vacuums. But one of the things I have seen in my limited experience, is that many companies that produce bagged vacuums are still kind of stuck in the past, in the sense that they are (generally speaking) based on designs that were made for...

    Question after Lots of Particle Tests

    Well, the way I look at it is if a HEPA filter needs to be 0.3 microns, then 1-5 microns is sufficient for determining A.) if there is a sealed system and B.) if the Hepa filter is at least functioning up to 1 to 5 microns. From what I have seen in these tests the problem is a sealed system in...

    Question after Lots of Particle Tests

    I just got done with a lot of particle tests using clouds of mist that are between 1-5 microns. I found a lot of "HEPA complete seal" or Whole machine HEPA Filtration claims were off (The Dyson Ball Animal 2 failed as well as Lower end Sharks) both of which claim to have whole machine HEPA...

    Airflow vs Suction Tests Ideas

    I am trying to find a way to demonstrate the differences and pros/cons to suction vs airflow. I could use the Kirby which has a ton of airflow, but only 40" of suction, and the Dyson Ball Animal 2 which has about 96" of suction, maybe I could find a better matchup but thats later. To be...

    Best Hard Floor Attachment of ALL Time

    This 3rd party tool looks exactly like the Wessel-werk HFT265 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079ZTJX7D/?coliid=I3U82AC2C7U6MU&colid=2ISBP9V555XVB&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I am having trouble finding analogs for the vintage Hoover HF tools.

    Best Hard Floor Attachment of ALL Time

    Supposing that I could find a way to adapt any hard floor tool to any vacuum, what is the best one you have used. I personally only have minimal experience with canister vacs where these are most prominent. I know people love the Miele Parquet Twister (not so much the XL) I personally dont...

    A list of differences Between the Kirby Avalir and Avalir 2 - Also Parts Question

    So if I said in a video that "the differences between the Avalir 2 and the Avalir are pretty minimal, things like color scheme handle design and slightly different shampooer." I would be mostly right?
