"Well, all I can say is you can't beat personal expe Not really, add knowledge of what you're using and the physics of what goes on to the mix, and you might have a point, but without it, you're just trolling to bump up your post count... For example, a clean-air motor in a domestic situation...

Just clean fans, I think if they tried doing it with dust, dirt and fluff going through, it would clog up too easily... :)

Nah, what you're thinking of is a 2-speed, which needs no explanation... :) A two-stage is basically a motor with two fans, one up front, that feeds through a set of vanes to the next fan that then goes through another set of vanes then finally out through the motor's back end, this helps to...

Now that's a good point, that one in the other thread isn't a J424, it's a 1424, I never even thought of that... :P

"So I tend to know a thing or two about vacuum reliabili Can't say fairer than that... :)

The reason for modern vacuums having higher wattage motors is because they're usually single-stage motors, so to get more air through, they have to spin faster, but two-stage motors, like in my Tristar, can be lower powered and draw more air through, but it's more expensive to design to fit in...

"t is much appreciated :) " No problem, I can't stand people who deride those who are learning, everyone learns, even I do, regardless of age, height, colour, sexual preference or state of mind... :)

So, JM stated something in the past, was found to be wrong, and now says that it's "probably", would that not be classed as "learning"? Gaining "experience"? You know, the very much essential things in life in these, and I quote; "futile non-essential threads from a teenager"?

The pancake motor design is actually old, but they just kept upping the amps over they years, so the highest amp models (the 7 Amp@120v) tend to go through belts like I go through cola, but the lowest (I think 3.5Amp@120v) tend to last longer... :) There is the issue of them using round belts...

If a clean air motor is left to run with a clogged bag or filter, yes, it'll overheat, but, it shouldn't burn out, as most motors are fitted with thermal overload switches (you can usually see them tied to the windings of most motors), it would eventually damage the motors though to the point...

No, the smaller diameter would mean the belt is not as tight as it should be, so the pulley on the motor would slip more and cause the belt to overheat and lose more tension, ultimately resulting in the belt failing... :) This is more prevalent on the Pancakes as like I say, they have a bit...

"It is strange that Eureka would make a belt that is obv That's the thing, the belt is right for much older models, and fits tightly, but for later models, they must have changed something that loosened the fit, my guess is the groove in the brushroll on VGI and VGII brushrolls is a smaller...

"HooverCelebrity", or Fred... Take a look here to see: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?16934_25

Note that my last reply was for sebo_fan, I forgot the quote...

I was simply responding in a similar that manner you used, it's not nice is it?

The blender motors are usually the smaller, lower amperage motors, usually encased in a "tin can" setup, they generally go into the plastic-hooded models (with the vents in the top, rather than the side), they're not as strong as the pancake motors, so they wouldn't take too kindly to the Hoover...

Here's a question, if something appears on TV that you don't like, do you sit there complaining about how much you don't like it, or do you leave it be and change the channel? Because it seems you're stuck on the same channel and just finding anything to complain about... Yeah, these sort of...

Sorry, but if you want to complain about someone who's younger than you simply because they are younger than you, then you're being very intolerant and quite ageist, I'm not taking sides, but I will help defend someone who is being attacked without a valid reason, and you're not exactly giving a...

I'd say that it was a perfectly valid question, after all, you don't learn if you don't ask, and when you have people complaining about such questions, such as yourself, then you make the forum feel more like a clique for only those who hold the knowledge of such things and refuse to share the...

oooooOOOOOOOOooooo!!!! Handbags at lunchtime... :P
