The cordless stick vac formfactor

[Vacuum Facts]

You didn't really make clear what, specifically, you 'disagree' with. First, cleaning performance data matters, not suction, airflow etc. alone. I suggest you look at more than one poor internet source to learn more. Secondly, the sources you cited wonderfully evidence of a lack of understanding of even basic science, that again, is out there for you to look at. There was even a thread on this very forum recently that went through the science and exposed the shocking ignorance too frequently displayed, such as the remedial errors of using vane anemometers to measure airflow in non-uniform flows, and failure to appreciate why this doesn't matter for carpet cleaning anyway. It's all out there for you if you really care...

I don't really give a rodents rear end about "cleaning data". All I know is that those nozzles cannot clean pet hair from our area rugs. That makes them useless in my home with my rugs and my pets with a desert back yard. Whatever data you will drege up means nothing if the darn thing cannot clean my rugs, and they can't. Even some Wessel-Werk and Miele power nozzles leave the hair on those rugs. Our big Kirby struggles on one of them. But a Lindhaus power nozzle used with an Aria canister does the job. One pass and the hair is gone. Same with a 43 year old Kenmore with a freshly rebuilt Powermate and a modern Ametek motor. Cleans great. Use a HEPA dust bag from Numatic and the bag chamber stays spotless. No dust anywhere. A Hoover Hushtone has no problem cleaning those rugs either. That Hushtone is a remarkable vacuum to use and especially so when you see the price. But there isn't a stick vac made that can clean those rugs.

I do believe your personal experiences. However, not a single manufacturer I'm aware of engineers for you personally, and since everyone's use is different, they engineer for other things that are more widely applicable to the majority. Objective cleaning performance across all floor types to formal industry standards is usually the goal for the better manufacturers. This is because this is applicable to almost everyone. For trash manufacturers, they're happy with copying the work of the superior to achieve a lower but excusable percentage of the performance and practicality but at a lower price to undercut, regressively, at the expense of the 'suckers' buying.

But there isn't a stick vac made that can clean those rugs.

On this factual point, I've seen no reputable evidence to support it, so have no reason to believe it. You're welcome to provide some to support the position.

I mean, your subjective and unfriendly opinion is at odds with reality. My recent Dyson V16 Piston thread is the most viewed on the entire history of this forum. By far! And I'm getting DMs about it from lurkers who are seemingly too frightened to speak freely on here for fear of hostile judgement by nasty bullies who won't let you sit at their table if you're not part of the 'right' club. What we need is more diversity and interesting technology on here and less playground name calling when someone makes an irrefutible point that someone else doesn't like and has no defence against.
