Canisters that Agitate

Tolivac, not all uprights spin the brush faster than canisters with a PN. There are canisters out there that have direct drive motors or toothed belts, such as Sebo, that turn very fast and don't get bogged down as vacuums with regular belts often do.

The weight part makes some sense but I don't think that is all of it. I have seen vacuums on Ibaisaic that agitate very well while others do not and they may both be bypass uprights. I think all the perfect elements have to come together to create the best cleaning experience. It is the "gestalt" of the vacuum cleaner. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts meaning as the machine is built and designed it becomes something different altogether as agitation, suction and airflow as well as the design of the vacuum cumulate in a system that relies on all the other components to run properly. Getting that formula just right is not easy and one small change can recreate the whole.

I would like to quite my therapy practice as design vacuums for a living.

I didn't say the uprights turn the roll faster-they just have a more powerful motor to do it-and the Volt is the only powernozzle I have that doesn't stall on the carpets as most of my other powernozzles do.The belts in them are still like new.IE-Kirby motor-6A vs 1.5-2A as most 120V powernozzles have.The Kirby brush doesn't stall unless the belt is worn or the height is set too low.
