Will vacuuming damp carpets damage my machine?

[jmurray01]

Can I please advise the original poster NOT to listen to that advice given by "vacmaster0000", as it isn't correct.

Vacuuming up anything other than a rain drop of water with your Vacuum Cleaner is dangerous to you and your cleaner.

Excuse me?

Who the hell are you? A 7 year old kid who has 2 Hoover vacuums and thinks he can post on here 24/7? You make a hell of alot of threads, a drop of water will damage a machine? Hell no. Aslong as its not standing, or soaked, it's fine. And you shouldnt say ''not" to listen to a poster, one day your going to do it to the wrong person, I hope you do. Im just posting my 2 cents, there was no need to say not to listen to me, so really, back off. I never said vacuum up a damn pond.

Excuse ME. I'm 16 years old, I own 8 Vacuum Cleaners, and I post often - Is it a crime ? If so, I am very sorry and I hand myself in for arrest.

Vacuuming up any amount of water is potentially dangerous - Just ask anybody who has had an electric shock from a Vacuum Cleaner.

I wasn't starting a fight, I was just saying that what you said was, in my opinion, wrong.

I just don't want somebody or their vacuum being damaged.

Mhm.

I see what you mean there, it's just really, that was uncalled for, if you disagreed with my comment, then there was no need to say it. It you don't have anything nice to say, keep it yourself, okay? And he'll be fine, aslong as he's not sweeping up soaked, or damp surfaces, he'll be okay.. I don't want no body getting hurt either. But really, it's not alot of water.

In Jamie's Defense (Defence):

Vacuum cleaners run on 240 volts where he's from, so anything that might cause a shock here could weld you to the wall where he is. Sounds like he's just operating out of an abundance of caution.

 

[vacmaster0000]

Aw yeah

That's true. Well idk.

Turbocat...

Is the Turbocat better than your run-of-the-mill turbo brush?

If it's good, a Turbocat and a wet dry vac sound like a good combo.
