The most frustrating vacuum video on Youtube.

[vexorgtr]

This guy's whole channel is basically raving about his dyson stick vac... and in this case how it's BETTER than a Central Vacuum system... Absolute rubbish. I hope his stick vac fails. As a CV owner, I can tell you it's the most effective system I've ever used, I've never clogged the tube, have it vented outside, and dirt goes into the bag. Arrrg. Every time I see this in my suggested I want to give this video 400 thumbs downs.

I know it's hard to hear - but you shouldn't let it bother you. Everyone has his or her own opinion. I never thought much of central vacuums until I got my Vacuflo. Now I think they are great, but I also have a Hide-A-Hose which help me to like it because I don't have to put the hose away.

I hear you. I have no idea why people keep buying Dyson sticks. They only last 15 minutes and just whisk the surface of the carpet, and do not suck anything out of the fibers down to the floorboards, leaving it all in the carpet. Remember the old Eureka commercials with the cartoon dust devils sawing apart the carpet? Funny how we keep moving backwards as society progresses and nobody has a memory past 10 years.

Also the video and his logic is so flawed anyway. It's like comparing a twin axle dump truck to a pickup truck in terms of hauling capacity. Comparing a Dyson cordless stick with a 15 minute battery to a wall-powered enormous central vacuum makes no sense.

At my house, a stick vac would be a total joke.

Our house is pretty big, and there's LOTS of areas that need vacuumed. There's no way on earth that you could sweep my house with a stick vacuum... There's over a dozen rooms to sweep, and three levels. I've decided sometimes to fully vacuum all floors, furniture and drapes... and it's a several hour job even with the most efficient tools.

Heck, when I moved from the Nutone motor (vintage) to the Imperium (modern)... I was getting dirt I couldn't get before... then when I upgraded from TurboCat to electric, I got even more dirt from way back when. When 20+ year old carpet is
fluffy enough that you can put footprints in it, you know you're doing a decent job.

His affection for that Stick vac is like that of some Apple Computer users... they get angry if you suggest there's any other product worth using, and if you think that anything else is better in any way, they want you dead.

The video-------TOTAL CRAP!!!!!!I don't see the person using his Dyson stick vacuum-he just rants on at how bad central vacs are.Not this goon again-just ignore his total know nothing RUBBISH!!!!!

 

[vexorgtr]

I think this guys whole channel needs deleted....

Other videos are full of false tests... where he'll take a Henry with nothing but suction, and compare it to his stick vac with a turbo nozzle... Any kind of agitating brush is better than straight suction on a carpet.

Arrrg. I don't mind most vac channels, as they try and put some fair tests together and then go from that... If you're going to compare similar machines, that's fine, but when you're rigging the tests then they aren't really tests!

Even in a house

that's not that dirty or doesn't get much traffic - I still would NOT trust a stick vac!

 

[vacuumdevil]

Lol I have seen this .

The whole channel is false information.

I will eventually get around to making roasting video of this.

"The vacuum advisor" YouTube channel is pretty bad as well.

 

[vacfan1982]

I actually agree with some of the things Johnny L8 says. It's not all rubbish.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@vacfan1982
You might want to specifically clarify that .

All I have seen is rubbish& misinformation from that channel.

 

[mike811]

Be aware!

I have had to contact the youtube because this guy has took screenshots from my channel videos. So he made a copyright violation.
Those videos have been removed from his channel. I am not the only youtuber who has had to do the same thing.
He is clearly against everyone who doesn't agree with him with his Dyson obsession.
If you argue with him, he always ask for links for other peoples claims, but he doesn't show any links to his claims.
At least other youtubers show tests, but all he does is talk like a robot and show those cartoon like "data sheets" what he made.

 

[vexorgtr]

Better than buying a Stick Vac....

Today I had to repair the handle on one of my CV's hoses...

I sure wasted money doing that, as I could instead vacuum for 15 minutes at a time with far less airflow and suction. Should have bought that stick vac. LOL.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@mike811 Wow ! Who ever is running that channel is a real piece of shit then .

Unfortunately cartoon like "data sheets" are becoming all the more common on vacuum YouTube channels. A few other channels do this to . I can't think of any vacuum YouTube channel that is actually practicing proper scientific technique. In my humble opinion a spreadsheet is useless for youtube.
if you include a link I'm happy to follow a complaint to YouTube as well about that dude copywriting infringement on your channel.

 

[vexorgtr]

I don't think that "Vacuum Wars" is too bad.

The "Vacuum Wars" Youtube channel isn't one I flag as horrible, as they set up the same tests for several vacuums. Maybe It's not scientific, but It's at least fair in my estimation.

 

[vacuumdevil]

@vexorgtr I met the dude who does vacuum wars he's a pretty chill guy! He got into this out of frustration of his shark vacuums apparently. Guys got a degree in film and it shows in his videos! I wouldn't say they're scientific ,but I would definitely say he's working hard on that! But we weren't rtalking about his channel.

@vacuumdevil

I was trying to quash my negativity. Imagine the horror one feels when they've built up a central vacuum and sold their other vacuums to finance it... and once It's tuned up and working to a higher standard than anything I've used prior... Some idiot makes a video saying his stupid stick vac works better.

Although it may have no bearing on real world performance, one of the FUNNIEST old demos that I've seen performed was hooking two vacs up hose to hose, and seeing which one could collapse the other's bag. This was much more fun before we saw all the hard plastic enclosures and bag-less systems.

At this point in time, the ONLY vacuum cleaner that gets used inside my home is the CV. I like the reduced noise, increased power, and lack of odors. I've got it working to my satisfaction, and I have a tool for just about every purpose I can think of... therefore, I don't appreciate some pretentious faceless bum telling me that I'm a fool for building up the system I've always wanted.

There, back on rage topic.

Assuming the central vac is installed properly and is not clogged or leaking, it likely works very well. However, many are very leaky or partially clogged, or have hose problems and have little suction/air flow. The Dyson could easily beat those. In real life, there are a lot of lousy central vac installs out there, combined with user error and indifference. They are nearly worthless in performance.

 

[vacfan1982]

I installed an MD central vac 3 years ago. I've never had a clog or noticed any leaks.

It is very powerful, I can feel the suction pulling the carpet up. Very pleased with mine.

 

[vexorgtr]

My home's CV piping is from the 70's, and there havn't been leak issues. It was installed by someone who must have been a plumber. It's done like water drain pipes are... everything goes downhill.

My preference is to have a bag type power unit, due to easy maintenance. There's enough power in my CV to lift carpet and linoleum, so I have to be sure that the tools are proper for the job. The floor brush with wheels is a good way to prevent "clamping" to the hard surface floors. The shop area ends up with many small computer screws on the floor, and they go right up the vac with no issue.
