    Main Equivalency! Which one would you take?

    I really should have chosen “other,” but of the options, I’d probably choose the Lupe, if they still made it. (Since I know the initial post was kind of referring to cordless vacuums.) So I chose that. I don’t think I’d ever get a Dyson Piston. The Kirby is a fantastic cleaner, but just too...

    The dual 7.2s are my favourite setup!

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    Doesn't change what I said.

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    A stick vac is still exactly what I described. Whether or not the rest of the world all thinks that stick vacs are only the specific type that you describe (they don't, by the way) does not change what a stick vac is. They still don't have to include DC35 technology, and they're still not all...

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    The product that YOU're talking about. The criteria are things that you have decided on, not the things that I have decided on. I'm not talking about those things because they're not necessary for the type of product that I'm talking about. As I said, stick vacuums do not require that criteria...

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    Again, that's just your opinion. You are choosing to define a stick vacuum as what you think one is. It doesn't change the fact that there are other designs of stick vacuums. They indeed did come earlier, just not in that exact form factor. And I did provide examples. 🤷‍♂️ As did others...

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    There are several that are other designs. It just happens that the design that Dyson uses is the most popular, which is why other manufacturers mostly use the same design. Just because they use the same design though, it doesn’t make them “clones”. There are various features and principles that...

    Well, that’s your opinion.

    Vac n seal central vacuum accessory

    I remember those! I've never seen one in real life and I also have not seen very much content of it online either. They do seem really cool, but I can't imagine that they would have worked very well, unless used with a series dual motor vacuum unit. Vacuum sealers operate at a much higher...

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    Stick vacuums are stick vacuums. They are vacuum cleaners with the form factor of a stick. Stick vacuums came into existence before the Dyson DC35 and that form factor became a thing. Vacuums such as the Electrolux Ergorapido or the Eureka Quick Up, as well as the ones previously mentioned, can...

    New Maytag Satellite/Hoover Constellation with UK plug **HELP**

    I don’t know what motor that Satellite has, but if you know its model number, you may be able to find a data sheet for it. Some data sheets (Ametek ones at least) have a chart that shows how many watts the motor pulls depending on the orifice. So if you looked at how many watts it would pull...

    New Maytag Satellite/Hoover Constellation with UK plug **HELP**

    HuskyVacs and EurekaPrince, how many watts are the devices that you are using with your transformers rated for? If you’ve used 2000 watt cleaners before with yours, then it’s obviously fine. While I do like to think that I have decent knowledge when it comes to electricity, I am most certainly...

    End of an Era for Cana-Vac

    Ohhhh, okay. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I thought that you were referring to the motor setup and not the housing setup. I apologize. Yeah, I'm not sure what to think of it. Their new logo is a bit too modern for my liking. Yeah, no, it's not visible on their website and totally looks...

    New Maytag Satellite/Hoover Constellation with UK plug **HELP**

    Hi Ethan, Congratulations on your purchase! I'm a little jealous! I really like those Maytag Satellites. I love the modern twist on an old classic with the stainless steel. I wish that they had released them here too. I do see your conundrum with the UK plug. Typically, yes, you would just...
