    Working vacuum test gauge explained.

    I Haven't Learned How Suction Maintains Airflow, Mark? Uh, I even made a video several years ago clearly proclaiming that very fact. What matters is remaining usable airflow (keeping agitation aside for the moment), especially if you want super deep cleaning. In that arena, low suction high...

    Working vacuum test gauge explained.

    Saving The Best For Last... Onto airflow box creation. Once again, you’re completely wrong and pushing a false narrative. You need to familiarize yourself with a Physics/Mechanics concept called “path of least resistance”. For example, water self-levels and air finds the easiest way out (test...

    Working vacuum test gauge explained.

    Yet another false narrative based on the almighty SUCTION Post# 394286 7/3/2018 "In my humble opinion Working water lift is the Most realistic way to test vacuum motors." Since when did your humble opinion suddenly become fact over the previous two years and where did you obtain 45” as the...

    bearings in bulk purchase?

    There is no such this as "Kirby Bearings". I have made quite a few Kirby refurb videos where I clearly show Kirby has used bearings from literally everywhere. Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, etc. The front bearings are typically 6200 and the rear are typically 608 types. You can get a 10 pack...

    The SRX has been tested

    Thanks for the update Josh Rexair rates the SRX as follows then: Canister (maybe with a hose attached?) -- 11.5A x 120VAC = 1380 Watts With PN -- 12A x 120VAC = 1440 Watts Your measurements: - no hose attached: 756 W - hose attached: 765 W - w/ PN running: 975 W Barring some weird PF (power...

    The SRX has been tested

    Thanks for your testing and continued responses Josh Could you verify what Rainbow rates the SRX for power consumption? Usually, it's printed near the separator. I looked at the manual and wasn't able to find the power usage. Based on the limited info we have so far (subject to change as more...

    The SRX has been tested

    This test wasn't run at full speed? When I saw the slightly less than 800 Watts power reading I immediately compared the motor pitch to one of the other existing SRX videos on YouTube. Blackheart Lower Speed SRX Listen around 0:50 mark Colter Cardas High Speed SRX Listen around 4:10 mark...

    Vacuum cleaner pick up tests on carpet

    Livestream Alex, As far back as 2018, I remember you asking how to contact me but you claimed you were unable to locate my (public since 2014) email address. You have now made at least two claims regarding a possible email exchange initiated by yourself. I have never received any communication...

    My Final Comments On This Thread Everyone should see how Alex self-destructs and attacks everything except the actual claims when he is proven wrong. I will always attempt to correct faulty premises and flat out lies, especially when it's fairly obvious. Some people have no interest in the...

    Well Yes, Alex's Argument Has Been Debunked By well proven methodologies that can be easily duplicated. Thanks for your bagless version of this proof Mike.

    VacLab Response Part 2 2)Vacuum Wars Erroneous Testing Unfortunately Vacuum Wars does not know how to perform proper scientific testing and he has posted many hilarious results showing near and well over 100% pickup.

    6 Pairs of New Balance Shoes Here in the Lab VacLab Response Part 1 In 1982, I took my first advanced placement (re: College level) Physics course as a junior in High School. Many years later I submitted term papers and received an “A” in a graduate level (i.e. 500 level) Physics/M.E. lab...

    Suppose You Discovered That Your Favorite Vacuum

    Or your daily driver, etc., wasn't very good. Say for example, you obtained measurable proof that your longtime "go-to" machine actually performed no better than average (or possibly worse) in your home. 1) Would you care? 2) Would you change to a better machine? Twice a week, I grab a vacuum...

    Is it better for a vacuum to run on slower or faster speed?

    Overheating At Low Speeds Is A Myth Think of continuously variable speed canisters (or uprights). Some users run them on low speed for hours with no issues year after year. Generally speaking, a properly working electric motor generates less heat at less RPM so it should even last longer...

    What will the CCP Virus mean for Kirby?

    I'm Sure In-Home Sales Have Been Decimated For the time being and some companies might go under. As far as a redesign, Kirby would have to be careful not to foul up the top performer that already exists. Remember the Porsche 911, Chevy Camaro/Corvette, and Ford Mustang? With some exceptions...

    3D printed Kirby adapter for disposable bags

    Les, You Obviously Can't Read And YOU even gave Ted positive feedback on the first video. From the description section of the first video: "First attempt at upgrading classic Kirbys to the newer HEPA filtration standard. NOTE: This item is being developed by "Ted" in California and is not...

    3D printed Kirby adapter for disposable bags

    Les, once again you have quite a faulty memory "Vaclabs did s video presenting the idea. I was made aware of this. I asked bill politely to not pursue it further." Les, you are wrong on multiple counts and I have your emails (and one other person's) to prove it. 1) "Vaclabs did s video...
