Ultra MVP
One of the problems with this machine is the brushroll motor is pretty wimpy and the brushroll will stall due to the machine sealing to the carpeting. I can use it alright on my carpet as long as the height adjustment is set at least to the middle but i've noticed i still get vibration from it on the 2nd highest setting. Rugs are kind of difficult to clean as it tends to clamp onto them.
It is odd that they'd be able to snatch a pipe away from an everlast I've not measured one yet, but I don't think it has more flow than one, but i think it has something to do with the nozzle configurations since the airflow path on the mvp is located at the rear of the nozzle facing foreward at base>? height it's most likely directing it's flow towards the front. I've always felt like Kirbys (and therefore royals) distribute it's flow around the perimeter of the nozzle due to the air path being higher (airflow hits the inside of the nozzle and is spread out more) I could be wrong though it's just an idea.
Other members have told me that I need to get my hands on a Royal Powecast. They too had a short and wide airpath.
