Edgar, Both Of My H2L's Headlights Drove Me Nuts Until I had the chance to completely refurbish them and tightened up the headlight connections. In the past, the light might flicker for a few seconds then stop and return 10 minutes later. Anyhow, both are fixed now and I've run both for...

Alex, Now I Know Why You Act The Way You Do You are a conspiracy theorist and believe that the government is out to to get you. This isn't China. You really believe that the CDC and the FDA are lying and any info not approved by you, an uneducated high school graduate (did you even graduate?)...

I've Particle Tested Three Type C Bags 0.3 um Results: DVC 4-Ply Paper = 8400, V.A.C. HEPA = 1650, Perfect HEPA = 370 So the 4-ply paper is relatively lousy and the best is the "Perfect" brand HEPA. BTW, if you filter the exhaust (I've tried), you may manage to reduce the non-toxic carbon...

Here's Some Links And Info For Inquiring Minds https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/n95-respirators-and-surgical-masks-face-masks "The 'N95' designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very...

Take A Look And Tell Me What You See Rob, I don't see anything in the below videos to indicate something unusual, especially with the "lost cause" video. Can you tell if parts were upgraded? Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 (Bill's Lost Cause) Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 Teardown And Bathtime These...

I've Tested Two D80's And Here's My Numbers The first one was a wreck (never rebuilt), but still pulled around 5.0 Amps, fan only, no brushroll or light bulb. The second one Kirby rebuilt in 1990 and I refurbed in 2018. Motor Speed = 11,152 RPM (BR Spinning) 4.8 Amps, Low Speed, BR ON, Bulb...

Mmmmmm, "Got a D50 or D80 with a bad motor and want more horsepower and speed?" My fully refurbished D80 tests at 125 nozzle CFM, which means a CFM density of 5.61 CFM per square inch, which is extremely high. So high that pushing effort is unrealistic on medium pile or higher/thicker carpets...

Here Are Some Real World Figures Since we never have "unlimited" current to prop up the voltage under an increasing load, the voltage will drop. Said another way, since we never have unlimited suction, the CFM will drop under an increasing load. Take a real long look at this actual motor...

Mark, I Can See You Aren't Familiar With Ohm's Law You said: In a vacuum cleaner the voltage can be seen as the suction, the current as the airflow and the carpet is the resistance.So low suction (voltage) will mean a low airflow (current) through a given resistance ie the carpet. Proven by...

Wow, Alex You Don't Even Have A Basic Understanding Of Electricity or power formulas at all. Quite shocking really. Try learning E=IR and P=IE and their variants. ================================== But it's possible to have a motor produce multiple horsepowers without it consuming more...

Alex, You Perform No Quantified Testing And Promote False testing methodologies like "working water lift". You have no scientific/repeatable results that I know of. I debunked working water lift in thread a while back. No one uses it except you and it doesn't prove anything at all. A Kirby DS80...

That Vorwerk Is Really Something Quite Special But I have a question: Does the G6 label really say 580 Watts? I've never touched a European 240 Volt Kirby and I'm surprised that it would be rated at less than 840 Watts. I would expect the motor coils to be different but I wouldn't expect the...

Do You Live In A Hospital? Since people don't normally live in Hospitals, that point is invalid. Also, hospitals use different methods of cleaning floors/hallways than residential homes. I also don't wear a hazmat suit although that might be the safest place to be at the moment. Completely...

RE: Jon in Reply #12 You NAILED it! Exactly right. If you need to pump water (fluid) and/or lift an item (bowling balls, etc.), high suction is required. If you need to move dirt in a volume in air, airflow is required. Keep the air moving and you keep the dirt contained in it moving. Bill

Let's Examine The Original Statements, Shall We... Mark's Claims (with no evidence of course). 1) Personally I prefer low pile carpet or hardwood floors as "they are more hygienic." Where is your evidence that hard floors/low pile (bare floors with fuzz) carpets are more hygienic? FACT...

E2 2-Speed Motors Never Wear Out? "The motor itself will never wear out as there are no carbon brushes." Tom, This motor has bearings which wear out/fail in a fairly predicable manner. Rainbow wants you to run these newer machines as much as possible and when the bearings go, have customers...

2nd Correction for Reply #4 I typed: Shop-Vac and other companies have insane false ratings like "6.5 Amps" I meant: Shop-Vac and other companies have insane false ratings like "6.5 HP" It was bad "unit swapping" day. I hate it when I have those. Bill

Correction for Reply #4 I typed: A Hoover Celebrity couldn't run at 3.7 HP because that would mean 3.7 A x 120 V = 2760 Watts, which would require a 23 Amp 120 Volt circuit. I meant: A Hoover Celebrity couldn't run at 3.7 HP because that would mean 3.7 HP x 746 W/HP = 2760 Watts, which would...

I See A Massive Suction Loss Which is by design. Still, what a shame to lose that much from the hose to the PN. From Hose To PN: 90-16=74" Loss From Wand To PN: 76-16=60" Loss Thomas Rectenwald's hot-rodded 12A Lux Marquise pulled 91 CFM paired with 38" of suction. It's a real bear to push on...

I Second The E2 1-Speed Recommendation In Mini Meet #19, I measured the highest Rainbow canister airflow ever from an E2 1-Speed (I have not measured the SRX's airflow yet). Results: 107 CFM filter in and 127 CFM filter out. The measurements start around the 21 minute mark. Newer E2...
