    Is the Wessel Werk HEB-160 useless?

    I mean, it doesn't have very good agitation at all. The Electrolux Sidekick does a much better job and has a wider opening. https://www.wessel-werk.com/en/products/electro-brushes/230-heb-160

    What commercial vacuums do you think are terrible?

    In my opinion, the bypass Bissell commercial vacuums with the Ningbo Defeng motors are terrible.

    Why do bypass vacuums have such terrible deep-cleaning performance?

    Simple, because of the lack of airflow. The bypass vacuums have a long hose that restricts airflow and the airpath is off to one side, whereas the direct air vacuums have a much simpler airpath.

    Deep-cleaning carpets that haven't been cleaned in 20+ years

    I bet it'd satisfying to see the years of embedded dirt, sand, bugs, pet hair, dust, and even carpet fibers get pulled out of the carpet. If you had a Kirby or a central vacuum system, you'd be pleased with a clean carpet in over 20 years. And if you hired a carpet cleaning service, it'll look...

    What's the best handheld vacuum?

    I think the Royal Prince and Dirt Devil 501 hand vacuums are awesome. They both have impressive agitation and airflow.

    My reasons why Johnnyl8 (VacuumFacts) Sucks

    1. He's a toxic Dyson fanboy. He supports Dyson like it's a gift from God. I know it's his opinion, but Dyson is nothing more than the Apple of vacuum cleaners. They're overpriced, poorly built, and underperforming. Plus, stick vacuums are for quick clean-ups, not deep-cleaning. 2. He claims...

    Are mini-electrified upholstery tools better than turbo tools?

    The Wessel-Werk HEB 160 has been excellent for removing deeply embedded dirt in car interiors, on mattresses, and on stairs. It's been used for MD, CVI, and other central vacuum companies. It's much quieter than a turbo tool and it has motor overload protection to protect the belt, which is a...

    Bissell PowerForce Compact 2112 Honest Review

    Talk about Chinese junk! My mom had a Bissell and it was complete GARBAGE! It only lasted 2 years and had terrible filtration and cleaning performance. She aventually got a SEBO Felix that was a million times better.

    Central vacuums vs robot and stick vacuums

    While robot and stick vacuums are extremely popular with the millennial demographic and making full-size uprights, canisters, and central vacuum systems obsolete, both tend to not deep-clean as well as full-size vacuums, especially uprights and central vacuum systems. Stick vacuums tend to be...

    Spencer Turbine

    Converting these to residential central vacuums Imagine if you replaced all the inlets with ElectaValves, add a good electric power nozzle, a good crushproof hose, a filter bag, premium attachments, install it in your 10,000 square foot home, and you'll have an overpowered residential central...

    What direct-air vacuums do you like?

    I mostly like the Royal and Kirby vacuums because they are all metal. The Royal All-Metal Uprights tend to be much lighter weight and have brush stiffeners, while the Kirby vacuums can have multiple purposes, like a blower, a shampooer, and can even be used to spray paint or shampoo furniture...
