If we had vacuums that could deliver a close percentage of hte motors actual draw, we could again use machines that use less power

Hi Venson:
The advantage of the fan first uprights of years gone by and ORECK and a few others still today. Carmine D.

HS:
I would take both on rugs over one or the other exclusively. Fortunately in today's vacuum market both are offered by all brands and most models. Carmine D. Such words of wisdom. I am impressed----------by your twisting.

H.S. all the numbers can be manipulated,all depends how they want to market the product, In the central vacuum industry any thing over 400 airwatts is considered powerful ,its just a # game............ regards MOLE

Would it be legal to put one of those 6500 rpm Oreck motors in the exhaust to help the flow?
THanks for saying what I was trying to get others to say. Manipulation exists in all industry. The best test is hand on experience. Forget the marketing hype.

MOLE when you use that formula , say on a 750 w lamb motor with 112cfm and 63 in w/l it comes to abt 830 aw....yet there chart says 190aw...what gives

Hi turtle,your getting very quizy about the #, the formula the rest of the story goes like this,cfm x W/L divide by 8.5 take that # and divide that by the fan case opening most are 2'', now your at the right #,still means nothing in real life applications,
Do you really think a Z06 corvette puts 505 h.p. to the ground?Its just a engine dyno number thats never achived in real life. The lamb/ametec electric motors are rated the same way, strip the fans off the motor throw a 240 volt charge into it and blow it up,but the motor made 4 hp, do you see the game yet? Do you realize that the most overlooked piece on the vacuum are the attachments............ regards MOLE

thanks mole
just like to know how they come up with the numbers they do...where xactly they came from.. why something was designed the way it was and how if possible can it be improved on.....a what if.....thing. im a way long way from what you guys know and have seen....and admire and respect that. i learn something everyday on here...i have a question i ask....from those who know...[id rather not ASSUME] ..but ive always believed that a true reading is at the brushroll chamber. and am aware of the loss of engine power thru the driveline....i do love cars..and working on them, as i do all my own maint. on my TRAILBLAZER SS......a tru beast....altho not a Z06..HEMI....she can hold her own.

This is once again a case of, "If you dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS."
Even machines with the best suction lose something in the translation by the time you get airflowing at the hose end or floor nozzle. Body seals may not always be tight enough, hose connections may also allow for leakage and even friction may diminish suction. (One of the reasons that household vacuums never usually have overly long hoses.) Badly designed wands and attachment locking mechanisms may also attribute to the same.
Not many manufacturer are up to the challenge of honsetly stating what suction measure as at the motor's air inlet and the final percentage of a hundred percent that finally arrives on the floor or at the end of your hose.
If we had vacuums that could deliver a close percentage of hte motors actual draw, we could again use machines that use less power

Quite.
I think I read somewhere that vacuum cleaners in Europe are the next range of appliances to get energy efficiency labels by law. Witness Bosch and Electrolux: Bosch BSG71266GB Filtration: HEPA filter Self-sealing hygiene dust bags Tools: Adjustable floor tool for carpets and hard floors On-board tools: crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle and dusting brush Other features: Compressor motor *1200W with performance of similar 2400W cleaner Electrolux Enviro Vac bagged or bagless uprights are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre and easy on energy consumption. Picks up 20% more than compettitve models whilst using up to 30% less energy, saving you money and also the environment.
