Right now? A Hoover Windtunnel Air. It's only had two bottom plates, one motor, one repair to the floor brush sensor replaced. :) I'm not trying to knock it either cause it wasn't meant for abuse. Otherwise I use a Riccar for work. Better built but still wish it was the commerical model. Since...

I've read the rather lively debates marcus :) I try to not be a dyson hater, but I can't let their 20 years of "Never loses suction" just go by while they now say, "No, really, we mean it *this* time!" They don't really mention that their older non cinetic designs fall into that category. They...

Well black hart since the black one just got reduced to $179 I'd try for that, cause I rarely see them below $350. Cheapest I've ever been able to try for them was $160, but was outbidded. But oddly enough they stuck an ice blue filter on it instead of the black one, and it looks very odd...

They've gotten a little better. But that one in the video posted earlier is what my dad has, and it barely has any bristles to it. At least it came off easily to clear a clog on it from having such a small inlet :P Problem I see with that one is what happens when the floor head floats on the...

And a direct vacuum still has all that piping as well to deal with on the other end. It's the same problem, as that motor has to fight that resistance as well. The best way to mitigate that is what sebo did, which is keep right angle turns to a minimum to none, keep the bends at nice angles and...

Yeah I should clarify that isn't 1000w each motor, but total, at least that's what I remembered going to Ricarr's website. In a way it does make some sense that the brush motor can also again function as a suction motor next to the floor nozzle. Saw the Maytag equivalent for $900 this past Fri...

Oh, and blackheart, if you are looking to buy one, I might be selling mine, cause I can't keep it. I'd rather sell it here than ebay.

Only problem with the Felix's on ebay is most don't come with all the attachments that come with a new one, like the parquet brush. Of course you do save a lot. One right now is going for $209 with a black body but the person put on a ice blue filter. Also have used the Windsor Axcess, works...

@sebo_fan No that is the price for the outer filter. The bags went up $3. Nothing major, but it did just go up. I'm not sure about prices of vacs. Unless that is the normal price, it seems that the Felix in the UK is going for $385. Here it is never less than $600. It is kinda weird that...

I just took a trip to my local Sebo dealer, who used to work for Hoover for 30 or so years. He just got back from a Sebo exhibit which showed off the new models for the USA market coming in the next few months. Obviously you all in the UK and Germany already have them. After seeing the new...

I think the only reason, if any, why a direct air will pick up more is because the static pressure is greater than a bypass at the nozzle. Sounds obvious, but I can't explain why that should be the case. Think about it - each has to pass air through bags so the net result should be the same...

Well Riccar and family has their tandem air vacs. I'm not convinced it is necessary. They claim to offer the benefits of bypass which is good filtration and good hose suction with the benefits of high floor nozzle suction. I think both motors use 1000w. Personally I can't see why bypass can't...
