    EU-limited vacuums explained

    I decided to explain what those EU-limitations really mean and how they affect to the vacuums. Note that these rules don't apply to the certain vacuums like: - wet & dry, battery-operated, robot, industrial and central vacuum cleaners - hand-held vacuum cleaners - mattress cleaners - ash vacuums...

    Homemade vacuum that works

    Well this needs some explaining. So this is made from parts what I already had. Motor is from Shark upright, Bin is from Dyson DC14 and powerhead is Electrolux Paragon. Motor is located in the insulated box with baffles to reduce the noise level. Well it helps, but it's still a bit noisy. Only...

    My airflow tests (mainly from the nozzle)

    In this thread I share almost all of my airflow tests what I have done. My main focus is the nozzle airflow, but some pictures have airflow measured from other places and also suction figures. First one is all of my current canisters. I used Sebo ET1 ph in all of these tests. Power usage is...

    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...

    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...

    Tested Shark loss of performance when filter is dirty

    I did this test because we vacuum collector people know how fast Shark pre motor filter gets dirty. Now the question is how fast it's going to lose performance (airflow). I tested it: First measuring the airflow with clean filter. Then sucking up 4 bin full of dust. Measuring the airflow with...

    My canister vacuum cleaners airflow performance

    All my canister vacuum cleaners airflow power measured from the canister itself. I didn't measure the suction because differences in it are quite small (78-94 Inches Of Water) Who would know that the early 90's 1150w Lux has the same power what almost new 1600w Miele C3 has. Nilfisk GM80 has the...

    Kirby ultimate carpet cleaner?

    I have started a new cleaning ability test series. I have one clear narrow see through tube with 140 millimeters of sand what I put to the each vacuum. Carpet is always being reset with the Miele C3 & Sebo ET-1 ph. It has done excellent job doing that. So after I have made sure that the carpet...

    Bag savers have huge differences

    I have two different types of bag saver attachments. One is much bigger made in Sweden by Electrolux and another is much smaller made in China. Some time ago I measured huge loss of airflow from the Chinese bag saver and thought they are not worth much. Yesterday I decided to test my bigger...

    Vorwerk Kobold VK135: Massive Airflow

    I got this rough looking, but fully working compact upright and like usually: I measured the airflow. What a shocker. I can't believe that this thing can pull so massive airflow. It has clean air design and the motor (900 w) is tiny in physical size. Well all I can say it's the most powerful...

    Sebo Felix is amazing performer

    So after testing the carpet cleaning ability of the Dyson DC40 mkII, Sebo Felix and Kirby G6 (avalir brushroll) I am amazed. So 40 grams of salt for each vacuum and one forward pass. Then using the Kirby with the dirt meter to show what they leaved behind. Kirby brushroll slowed a bit and this...

    Worlds first BAGGED Dyson is born

    Here it is. Bagged Dyson DC40. I had second bin so I can use it bagged or bagless. So far it seems to be more powerful than with the bagless bin.

    Deep Down dirt removal is unnecessary?

    So here he goes again. It's better to leave deep down dirt in to the carpet. Also vacuums what can pull air through the carpet causes pollution. Now I have heard it all...

    My vacuum cleaner collection

    I thought to make this thread so everyone who wants can put their vacuums in collection to here. I don't have a lot of room so just few vacuums have room to be in my collection. I will get more in the future (mainly uprights).

    Cordless Powerhead

    This idea has been in my mind for a long time. Now I finally did it. Powerhead used for this is the Miele SEB 217. Motor comes from the old cordless drill. Belt tracking was a bit tricky, but now it works. Cogwheel happened to be just the perfect size in the drill motor. Finland is full of...

    So I came across this "interesting" video where guy in the video shows how bad the Miele is compared to the Dyson. Miele left a lot of sand behind. I commented to the video about my opinion of the test: Not very friendly comments came back LOL So what you guys think?
