    Wirecutter (New York Times) Interview

    Some might like or dislike what's discussed here, and it is very long. But I do give a shout out not only to Vacuumland but also to Tom Gasko's store, Mid Missouri Vacuum. Bill

    So It Seems I Have My Own Vacuum Brand Now...

    Well, not really as I was contacted by this company sporting the same name as my YouTube channel. Obviously, I said I'd like to review it. Look closely at the brushroll. Very unusual as it has very long, stiff bristles. And no, I did not receive payment for this review despite the naming...

    Dreametech T10 Cordless Keeps Up With Full Size

    and full power corded vacuums? Kinda, if they are older Dysons that is. Running on its turbo power setting, this stick vac slides in between a DC25 and DC65 when testing on medium pile carpet. The T10 would do better if it had a more aggressive brushroll, which would be easy to replace/upgrade...

    Suppose You Discovered That Your Favorite Vacuum

    Or your daily driver, etc., wasn't very good. Say for example, you obtained measurable proof that your longtime "go-to" machine actually performed no better than average (or possibly worse) in your home. 1) Would you care? 2) Would you change to a better machine? Twice a week, I grab a vacuum...

    Electrolux Historical Claims

    Or at least this Aerus store in Grove City makes these claims. How many of these are true? All of them, some of them?

    Rainbow Silver Hose With Gold Canister Body And PN?

    So I'm told that when the E2 series debuted (1 speed or 2 speed), the only hoses that were available with it were not gold/brown colored. They were only grey/silver? If this is true, does anybody know why Rainbow would intentionally mis-match the gold/brown canister and power nozzle with a...

    Wanted: Kirby 500505G 13" Brushroll

    I have a D80 with the single row brushroll and want to see how the dual row brushroll would perform. The only issue is, everyone seems to be out of them currently. I have found a good price on one at Hesco: https://www.hescoinc.com/kirby-brush-roll-heritage-1hdd80-small-head-genuine-500505 BUT...

    2003 Miele Solaris S514 Airflow Losses

    Probably my most dull and boring video yet. Who watches this stuff anyway? :)

    Rainbow E2 Platinum Airflow Losses

    A bit late, but I just wanted to basically confirm Blackheart's measurements. Obviously, this E2 runs quite a bit better (and uses more power) than his sample.

    Need Assistance in Diagnosing D80

    My wonderfully polished D80 will not run after re-assembly. The headlight comes on and I've checked for power at the brushes (brushes removed of course) and I see 121 volts, sooo I need help making my shiny beauty run once again. I know these machines had issues with switches and wiring, but so...

    Electrolux Marquise 1521 with 12A Motor Airflow Losses

    Well, I was going to say "someone beat this", but I see that Mikko (Vacuumtests on YouTube) has a Philips that uses around 1900 Watts and gets 92 nozzle CFM. Go Mikko! Bill

    EU Vacuum Ratings (Dust Re-Emissions)

    Even though I don't live under EU regulations, I made this video showing (what I believe) is a massive deception created by the European Commission. It's a "talkfest" I suppose. Bill

    Airflow Box Measurements 1975-2015

    Hello All, I've had a few people ask me how they can always get my latest airflow box tests and I figured this would be the easiest way. My YouTube channel. And just so you know, I do these tests not for profit (my channel is not monetized), but for the enjoyment of everyone. Bill

    Bissell Powerforce Compact Airflow Losses

    Happy New Year 2018! So I think this plasticvac is just about the cheapest one sold in the U.S.A. Typically selling for around $40 new, I've spotted it on sale for as little as $25. So when I spied one at a local Goodwill for $5 in good working condition, I couldn't resist what should be the...
