If you want to see a U.S.-built, Advance-designed Carpetwin, try this one -- the current model of a machine that's been in production for 40+ years:

Can that model you linked to really clean a carpet effectively, in just one pass?

Re: the Carpetwin 16XP

Calum,

Keep in mind the 16XP is designed for daily use on low-pile commercial carpet, such as hospital or hotel lobbies and corridors. An institutional/business housekeeping department is more about efficiency than really deep cleaning most of the time. With high suction power (clean air design) and an aggressive brushroll, the 16XP and its similarly-designed "one-pass" competitors do an acceptable job quickly. Heavy duty construction means less downtime. Other factors -- filtration, for example -- are secondary.

Thanks for reply

I think this is a testament to the power of this vacuum just for the amount of dirt that was packed into the nozzle and fill tube. Either that or it came from a very filthy environment.

In any case great clean up and restoration.
