Ultralux You stated: "At any orifice size, more water lift will increase the flow." My Response: Suction does not increase the flow, it ATTEMPS to maintain what you have. Notice I said ATTEMPS. You cannot exceed the base airflow measured at the motor, it's all downhill from there. Want some...

Canadian Central Vac Requirement? I only did a quick Google search to verify a new home builds central vac requirement. I came up with bupkis. Huskyvacs, please provide a link that shows central vacs are mandated in new Canadian home builds. Bill

Beagledad, I have no such "belief's" about something that can be measured, tested and quantified, of which vacuum cleaner performance can be. Any summation is directly derived from repeatable, testable data for those who care to examine it. I am loyal to no brand or type or cleaner, but I am...

Annual Cost of Running Vacuums You have to make some assumptions. Adjust your usage as required. Say you vacuum 50 hours per year (typical). A machine that uses 1000 Watts would consume 50 kW/hrs per year. My electric costs 11 cents per kW/hr, so I would pay $5.50 USD per year. A Starbucks...

Geez, hold up their dude And stop putting words in my mouth. Let me state this plainly I LIKE ALL VACUUMS, PERIOD! Central vacuums have their place but aren't very efficient at what they do. It's by design. Now let me respond to your claims: Your Claim: "losing 95% of their cleaning...

Attached is all my 2 cycle sand pickup tests And if you want to see what high airflow and proper agitation can accomplish in a controlled environment, checkout my sand under the carpet tests (and other stuff under the carpet tests). Alex, I noticed that nowhere have you ever stated what year...

My intent was to show off Blackheart's tests But Beagledad, if you know anyone that performs extensive measurements, please post the links here. Discovering the truth is a terrible thing these days (HA!).

Huh, looks like it posted in the Contemporary section. Great!

I wanted to put this thread in the contemporary section, but it's not a new machine. Power usage = 1556 Watts Airflow @ Port = 192 CFM Suction @ Port = 134 inches ***No Piping Installed*** Hose airflow = 111 CFM Hose suction = 130 inches Hook up your favorite wand(s) and power nozzle and...

Blackheart's Canavac Tests Power consumed (no nozzle), about 1556 Watts Canister Airflow (@ port) = 192 CFM Canister Suction (@ port) = 134 inches ***With no piping*** Hose airflow = 111 CFM Hose suction = 130 inches Hook the above to your favorite wand and power nozzle and you'll see airflow...

Tekjunkie28, You said "I dont agree with the statement that older rainbows blew out mist but Id like to see that. I bet that came about from people who didnt know how to use it." For the first 60 years of Rexar/Rainbow, there was no exhaust filter and dealers spoke highly of "water washed...

Reggie, Please everyone remember that your personal experience usually doesn't equate with the typical user experience. Owners that actually care about their machines treat them differently. I've never clogged reasonably working vacuum under normal circumstances. That being said, I've seen...

Dusting Sooner With HEPA This isn't a surprise if you understand the difference between what a Rainbow expels versus what a HEPA bagged machine expels. Consider the HEPA filtered exhaust. It's clean, dry air that will disturb your existing air. In short, it blows existing dust around without...

The Simple Answer is No, They Don't I've posted extensively on this subject in the past, but central vacuums can't be as good as the best portable vacs. Let's investigate why... 1) Assume a typical central vac canister (single motor) starts with 140 CFM 2) Add 50 ft. of piping and 35 ft. of...

oldCrankman, That's The BEST Video I've never seen! :) Seriously, it was too dark. I wouldn't mind seeing a re-do with more lighting. Bill

electromatik, please give us the links that prove air quality is improved in a typical home. I would LOVE to see that. Actually owning a newer type particle meter shows a very different picture of vacuum filtration. Here are some general numbers to consider: 1) Assume a small sealed bedroom...

Went to Godfrey's Website and... Perused their online catalog. https://www.godfreys.com.au/wertheim-7-series-w9000 My greatest niggle is that it's a re-badged machine. Yeah, I know a lot of sellers do that, it's quite commonplace, but a name as legendary as Air-Way now being a $1299 re-badged...

I would be very interested in an all new design BUT Would us enthusiasts really be that satisfied with an all new Kirby that wasn't much...of a Kirby. I think of the Hoover Convertible or any other machine of that type. Decades went by and the basics changed very little. Cosmetics sure, but...

I've Always Said If You Have To Have one of something, you need two. Since vacuums are so cheap, I'd get two (but they don't have to be exactly the same). Bill

Well, not really as I was contacted by this company sporting the same name as my YouTube channel. Obviously, I said I'd like to review it. Look closely at the brushroll. Very unusual as it has very long, stiff bristles. And no, I did not receive payment for this review despite the naming...
