The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

Science Fiction

@ralph123 That's not Common for a central vacuum to clog.
I know lots of installers and repair People in the Central Vacuum Industry.
Central vacuum don't relay clog Simple physics of how there designed,
Leaky Pies are not common ether.
I think you should do some more research.

@vexorgtr @vacfan1982 Make the point and case !

Whomever is handling the pipe work for the central vac just needs to think about the flow, and lay the pipe work in a way that debris cannot escape the air flow path and be tossed into a non flowing area. If your CV is plumbed well, it will be very unlikely to clog. I have not experienced a clog with my system to date. (12 years)

If you've never used a properly installed central vacuum, I encourage everyone to try it out. Even with the old 70's era motor, it still performed well. Now with the modern motor, it's the king of dirt pick-up.

If you think he is annoying now...

Just wait.

Apparently he got his hands on a G5 and is using it for a series of new videos. He claims that “they are all the same anyway” and something along the lines of the Kirby nuts will go bonkers and any information contrary to them all being the same is rubbish...

But even if you don’t care for Kirby, the modifications made to them since the G5 run (1997-1999) have absolutely improved their performance. I doubt I’ll watch the videos, but did think it was appropriate to inform others of what’s to come, lol.

Happy vacuuming - whatever machine(s) you use.

This Vacuum Facts guy seems to have only two goals.
1: To proof why the Dyson V10/11 is the worlds best vacuum.
2: How wrong everyone else are.
He has made up nickname for the vacuum enthusiasts: Rapid vacuum enthusiasts.

 

[vacfan1982]

Very subtle changes to the Kirby.

Mike it's "Rabid vacuum enthusiasts"

 

[mike811]

Oh yes
Well Generation series Kirbys are quite same except improved stiffer oblique style brushroll and more power (higher motor rpm).
We all already know what the results of his "tests" will be. V10 is far better than the Kirby
Thing is that he has already done the damage to his reputation. Just looking all of his videos show how obsessed he is with the Dyson. His biggest mistake was to start war against "rabid vacuum enthusiasts" He has also done several copyright violations and number of videos has been removed from his channel by youtube. I know that the Kirby hype can be overwhelming at times, but he is in totally different level.
His attitude and arrogance has caused huge amount of dislikes to his videos so he had to hide them. At first people got mad at him, but now nobody seems to care anymore. He is what he is and we all know it.
When one youtuber vacuumed V11 filter with another vacuum he absolutely flipped
So better leave him alone and block him. I certainly have and I don't bother anymore commenting or watching his videos

 

[vacfan1982]

It's all a bit too serious isn't it. We are discussing vacuums not Brexit

 

[mike811]

You are right. I am actually very relaxed person, but I got carried away

 

[vacfan1982]

Johnny seems to have that effect on people

 

[crazykirbydude]

We all know Dyson's metaphorical dick is planted deep in JohnnyL8's ass!

 

[crazykirbydude]

Sorry, I got a bit heated. Trolls really piss me off though!

 

[vexorgtr]

Kirby is fundimentally the same for many years.....

We know that Kirby systems have seen small improvements over time, but the system was very solid to start with. Kirby vacs are among the most powerful, and since the product is effective, major changes are not in order. I look at the 70's era one my mom had... newer units had the transmission drive, better bag/filter, stuff I think we can agree made it better.

Mr. Vacuum Facts crossed the line with me by disrespecting the central vac... which is my favorite. That does not mean I thumb my nose at other machines, but I have found my favorite.

This Vacuum Facts guy is against the whole vacuum cleaner community. You're not the only one who has been affected. Majority of his videos are made to (try) convince people how wrong they are and how misleading their videos are. I am surprised that his channel hasn't been taken down after all the copyright violations. You can Imagine how upset I was to find out that he had taken screen shots from my videos. Then using those in his videos to show how "ridiculous" my videos are.
He is poison to the whole vacuum community.
I don't even want to watch his videos anymore, because I just get frustrated.

@mike811

The guy is a knob head but I'm not sure if you're necessarily in the right, over copyright law. His usage sounds like textbook fair use.

https://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/fair-use/what-is-fair-use/

"In its most general sense, a fair use is any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as to comment upon, criticize, or parody a copyrighted work. Such uses can be done without permission from the copyright owner. In other words, fair use is a defense against a claim of copyright infringement. If your use qualifies as a fair use, then it would not be considered an infringement."

 

[mike811]

Well youtube removed few videos from his channel after I made the copyright claims. Those videos had screenshots from my channel.

JohnnyL8 is a total tool. He dismisses proven scientific fact as marketing mumbo jumbo. It's a proven fact that strong airflow is needed to properly clean floors and carpeting. Dyson cleaners only produce around 52 CFM of airflow for a full size upright, which is the worst airflow of any high end upright. A Kirby Avalir 2 produces around 150 CFM at the cleaner head, which is almost THREE TIMES as much as a Dyson. An Aerus Electrolux canister will get about 100 CFM as well, almost twice that of a Dyson. Also, The Kirby and Aerus Electrolux agitate with vibration. The Dyson agitates by grinding and tearing at the carpet fibers. When you vacuum with a Dyson, most of the stuff in that bin is actually ripped up carpet fibers, not dirt! There have been numerous complaints of Dysons tearing up carpets, and even some carpet manufacturers will void your warranty if you use a Dyson on that carpet. They're also not durable. I came across a Dyson DC07 a few days ago that you could pull to bits with your hands! I don't even need to mention the Dyson V10's self destruct battery!

 

[vacfan1982]

If you look at Johnny's new video he's shows that the Kirby doesn't perform as well on modern carpets which have a waterproof non permeable backing. I won't pick up any flour from under the carpet.

I think you all should watch

 

[mike811]

Fitted carpets in the US are mostly flow through. EU countries rarely have fitted carpets (only UK). Mostly rugs are used in the EU (flow through) where the Kirby performs well. So totally pointless video unless UK is the whole EU LOL
Here is the video:

 

[vacfan1982]

Yes I made this point in the comments. But maybe the future is waterproof backed non permeable carpets.

 

[crazykirbydude]

Well, nothing will pick up flour from underneath a rubber backed carpet! I still stand by Kirby. It has a Gold CRI seal, while Dyson and Shark have none!
