The first Pig I bought was from Daycon Jaitorial Supply in Wash DC.Lived in an apartment and used it to clean my place.Was fine.One time while emptying the bag(no paper bags then)Someone yelled up the trash chute-"QUIT DUMPING THAT VACUUM BAG!"So I waited unitl they were done.Then later I just took the bag to the trash room and dumpted it in the dumpster.Then obtained the outer bag that used the paper ones.I have used my Pigs to clean my house at present many times-no more awkward then my central vacuums-the Pig is just as powerful as some of my central vacuums.Its wheels roll easily.And when they don't easy to oil them.My Pig did better than a Sears Shop Vac when cleaning up after renovating a freinds basement-the Pig even ate a 6" peice of Romex cable!My freind was impressed-and the lots of drywall plaster dust!sprinkled with a few nails.Did have to get a new bag from Daycon.He paid for it.And he liked to vacuum his house with the Pig and its powernozzle!

Either one, it doesn't matter. Any could clean a residential or a commercial place. I just brought the PIG up because it's the most powerful direct air machine out there and I compared it to a different machine almost similar to it that I use daily for commercial cleaning.
Honestly, I don't think it's impossible for the PIG to be used for residential cleaning. Lots of homes should have closets that would have room enough to store the PIG in. I mean sure it's got alot of drawbacks than most other vacuums but hey, any vacuum to have is better than not having a vacuum cleaner in a home at all
I know for sure that I wouldn't live in a home without having a vacuum cleaner, even a broom isn't good enough for me.

I know for sure that I wouldn't live in a home without having a vacuum cleaner, even a broom isn't good enough for me.Remember at one time Pigs were popular for movie theater cleaning.They could gulp down the spillpopcorncandy wrappers with ease-but NOT the spilled drinks making the floors sticky.On one movie theater chat site they showed adds for the Pig in a theater trade magazine.Cleaning contractors like them-esp for really heavy cleaning jobs.
Do have a wet-dry vacuum that has the motor-fan on top of the drum and a filter bag on the discharge of the motor fancase-a sort of direct air shop vacuum-the Tornado!!Have one of these and like it.You can detach the motor-take off the bag and use the blower motor as a really POWERFUL blower!!!Cleaned my front porch with this machine and you could listen to leaves and other debris going thru the fan!then thooped into the huge cloth bag-like the pig the bag can hold 6gal of debris-the drum 12gal of dry debris or liquid.A shut off valve in the drum lide prevents water from being ingested by the motor suction fan.
Vorverk VK 135 has amazing 100 cfm from the nozzle. For example Kirby G6 has 120-130 cfm from the nozzle.
How it can do it is insanely simple airpath from nozzle to the motor.
However on full power it can be pain to push on certain type of carpeting. Powerhead has extremely high rpm brushroll, but not the greatest agitation. Carpet grooming is where it shines.

My Miele C3 is the best cleaning and filtering machine I’ve ever owned. I wouldn’t trade it for any other mobile vacuum. The only thing I would even think about giving it up for is a central vacuum, but even then the fine tuning of the power controls just make it a dream with versatility.
