    Kirby G6 Tandem Air With Nilfisk GM80

    Okay so I decided to try this crazy experiment by connecting Nilfisk GM80 to the Kirby G6 fill tube to see if the Nilfisk limits the G6 airflow. Turns out that the airflow actually increased 12 cfm. Not much and this setup doesn't really make sense. However it was interesting to see how these...

    Why I like Dyson

    Here is some of my thoughts about Dyson uprights + They look very different and cool + Usability is often great + Technical innovations (pushing bagless technology forward) + Cyclonic system is by far the best in the industry + Great filtration + Availability of spare parts + Very high...

    Quietest Vacuum

    Philips P74 Electronic This is easy. By far the mid 80's Philips P74 Electronic. It has almost none motor sound. 90% of the sound is airflow running trough the vacuum.

    Not worth it: Riccar/Simplicity tandem air uprights

    Blackheart 95.55 cfm is more what I would expect from this vacuum. And yes they seems to have very good brushrolls. I can't deny that I wouldn't want one of these in my collection.

    Not worth it: Riccar/Simplicity tandem air uprights

    To be honest I am canister person. Sebo Felix is the only upright what I enjoy using as a daily vacuum. It's very versatile and easy to use. Normally I would use canister only but Felix has changed my mind due to the ease of use.

    Lux Mondo and Powersystem 1500

    Speaking of Electrolux vacuums is there anyone who owns EU Lux vacuums? Just a bit background information: Lux is the high end Electrolux same way as US Aerus Electrolux. They are only sold door to door. They used to be Electrolux, but they became Lux when Electrolux became mainstream brand and...

    Not worth it: Riccar/Simplicity tandem air uprights

    Yep I love my Felix. I bought it just because of the hype, but oh man was it worth it. Very versatile for whole home vacuuming and it really cleans carpets very well. High German quality vacuum is investment for years to come.

    Not worth it: Riccar/Simplicity tandem air uprights

    I have seen service video of it and indeed it's very complicated 😀 You can get the same performance a lot cheaper. For example I saw US version Sebo Felix in test and it got 81 cfm. That is very good. EU version with 700 watt motor gets 74 cfm and that is still good. 900 watt Vorwerk VK 135 has...

    Not worth it: Riccar/Simplicity tandem air uprights

    Okay so this is a bit rant. I have seen these been tested on the airflow box and results aren't impressive at all. Now to remind you they that they cost up to 1600$. So obviously you will get huge performance from these due to the two motor system? Sadly that's not the case here. Nozzle airflow...

    The Best Hard Floor Tool For Pet Hair

    @vacuumdevil Yep I have seen the video👍 I have used Twinner with my Shark Rocket stick vac and it doesn't work too well at all. It needs more suction/airflow to work like it's designed to work. Twinner comes with adapter so it fits to 35 and 32mm pipes. Here is picture of those pads what can be...

    The Best Hard Floor Tool For Pet Hair

    It would be better with wheels, but those felt strips are changeable and twinner sells packs of felt strips very cheaply. You are right about that it doesn't work with low powered vacuums. It needs a high power canister vac to work right.

    The Best Hard Floor Tool For Pet Hair

    I am tempted to get Wessel-Werk RD285 but for now I have been very happy to my Twinner nozzle. It has been sales hit from all the way from the 90's.

    Sebo K3 with PN

    I also have K-series airbelt with the ET-1 powerhead. Excellent vacuum for sure. My only complaint is that the suction/airflow starts to drop dramatically when the bag is half full. Miele bags don't do that. Otherwise it offers everything what I want from high quality German vacuum.

    Kirby Sentria 2 not outcleaning a rainbow e2 black

    What it comes to carpet cleaning performance the brushroll/cleaning head is the most important aspect. High airflow vacuums usually are great at fine dust pick up. Especially if the carpet is deeper pile. They don't need stiff brushroll. Suction is needed for long hoses to maintain the airflow...

    Problem with the bagless vacuums

    When people don't take any care of their vacuums also bagged vacuums will fail. I gave old pink Volta U258 to my sister because previously she had bought super cheap bagless vacuums about once a year. Few years later Volta came back to me. She just said that it doesn't suck so well anymore. Well...

    Problem with the bagless vacuums

    I did this video because more and more people are buying bagless vacuums. Commercials make them look better than they are. Both Dyson and Shark suffer from the same thing. Part of the dust goes to the motor. Shark pre motor filters leak and Dyson inner bin pipe collects dust making it dirty the...
