Yes it is a "Vacuum Indeed"This is on one of my most wanted machines-esp a vintage one.Was all beautiful chrome with a Certified vacuum motor-not a Royal one.The machine does have two motors-an induction one to spin the huge drum shaped roller brush.then a suction only motor to vacuum up the debris the pile roller bursh dishlodges-another thing about these is the brush roll bristles reach all the way down to the backing of the carpet-regular uprights don't do this.That is why these "pile Lifter" machines deep clean and "lift" the pile of the carpet.The machines look more like lawn mowers than vacuum cleaners-I have seen these in person and its much like running a lawn mower. You push the machine only in one direction and use it --just like a lawn mower.You pretend the carpet is a "lawn" and vacuum it with the pile lifter machine in that manner-pushing and pulling the pile lifter will fatigue you quickly-guess it will build up muscles-but will damage the carpet you are trying to pile lift.The machines are customarily used by carpet cleaning services-its applied to the carpet before the cleaning process-then again after the carpets have dried to reset and lift the pile and dislodge dirt the carpet cleaning process loosened up.
