I was tempted to take one of the Dyson home and play with it and see what was needed to fix it ---- presuming it was actually broken, which it might not truly have been ---- But I already have 2 Sebo vacs and my wife takes a dim view of me bringing home more projects in need of repair.

@xalen8856 21 день назад

I agree and shark vacuums in recent years have become a pain in the ass to repair. Gluing the lower duct hose in place, which is a common failure point due to how much it gets rotated around. It's made of a cheap crappy thin plastic material. They also use torx security screws to hold the vacuum together as well.

You missed a very important option...that is the ability to decrease suction. I have a newer home with very plush carpets like a lot of new homes or those with newer carpets. I bought a Dyson at Costco since I've used them in the past. I had to take it back because the suction was so strong on my carpets that I couldn't push it. Costco said several people had brought theirs back for the same reason. I replaced it with a Shark vacuum. Its suction can be turned down if needed by sliding a lever. It is the best vacuum I've ever owned.

After growing up with moms kirby that had a dark blue soft felt outside, she upgraded to a newer kirby with a carpet shampoo head sometime when I was around 14. We never ended up using any of the carpet shampoo stuff for the six years we had it before something internal burned out. It still ran and picked up but something inside absolutely fried and just stank up the place when you'd use it for longer than a minute. In the last year we used it was when it would begin to smoke and that's when I purchased a used dyson cordless v8. As you might expect, mom loved the new vacuum. It worked just as well, was much quieter, no cord to worry about... then the battery pack died. Got a third party replacement, works fine.

I bought a Shark vacuum many years ago and I love it! Some of the reasons we bought a Shark is because of its suction power, its claim to never lose suction and its "complete seal" technology. That's one of Sharks biggest selling points, that I see in EVERY infomercial. Maybe you could add another test to this and put the vacuums into a sealed chamber to see how well they clean by not spitting dust out of the cracks and seals. I would be very interested in seeing how well each one does, to know for sure if my Shark really doesn't spit dust back out into the air like they claim it doesn't.

Unlike those my wrists were not in pain with using a Shark or Dyson. I got carpel tunnel and arthritis and those german brands agitate my wrists the most. I also found the fit and finish of the plastic parts to be heavily disappointing especially at the handle of Miele. I could feel the sharp plastic sticking out. On another note the Miele wasn't able to dig and remove as much of built up kitty litter in a basement rug. I vacuumed the same rug afterwards with a Dyson V6 stick vacuum with HEPA filter attachment. Both vacuums used powered brush heads, no brushes powered by air. The dyson removed litter that the Miele couldn't.

I've had all of these vacuums apart at one time or another and in my opinion the quality that matters is rubber wheels, large amp low rpm electric motors, and metal rollers with replaceable brushes. Also, HEPA filters can restrict the air flow so I use pleated or charcoal, but use a HEPA bag.

Wish I had an opportunity to send you one of my wife's old Shark Navigators. She owns a cleaning company and swears by them. They perform extremely well, are a fully sealed system and are only outperformed by Dysons in the normal consumer bagless category. Beyond the cost difference (the Navigators run $200-240) the Shark is lighter than the Dysons and easier to navigate, which are the main reasons why she prefers them. They are just great bang for the buck and can last a long time for a plastic vacuum. One of the performance differences you see in real world use is how well the brush head "seals" against carpet, the Sharks and Dysons are really well designed for that and can sometimes be almost too efficient against certain pile designs. Enjoyed this video a lot. If you do another home vacuum test, you ought to do a fine powder or smoke test to see how much air/particulates escape each vacuum especially from areas beyond just the exhaust.

Her last two Electrolux didn't last nearly as long as the original I knew growing up, and she says her new cordless seems just as good, with way less weight and no cord.

A lot of technicians like myself recommend bagged machines, as the right kind of bags will filter way better than a lot of bagless machines, and are usually less messy.

They just work better with carpets. My Miele corded vacuum has several times the suction and airflow of even a decent cordless vacuum like the Dyson, it is able to pick up dirt from the edges of carpets, whereas cordless vacuums rely heavily on the brushes to collect debris. They are also a lot better at picking up large and/or dense pieces. That's not to say that brushes are a bad idea, they work well to loosen car hair from wool carpets for example. And really, with the capacity of the bags the price per use is negligeble. Total that up against the longer lifetime and not needing to buy batteries and they probably come out cheaper.

Fellow Project Farm followers, while this is a good video, and everything else Project Farm does is awesome - the Vacuum wars channel here on RU-vid does these same style technical reviews, and they are way more comprehensive! They focus only on vacuums (and mops/carpet cleaners/etc too technically), but another good channel to check out if you’re in the market for a better vacuum! After finding the vacuum wars channel, I ended up replacing my upright canister corded, hand held, and getting my first robot vacuum. I am SO happy with them. My floors are now cleaner than they’ve ever been, and I spend way less time keeping them that way.

@Billy123bobzzz 19 дней назад

Thank you! well done! In our own case (we have tested vacuums for decades) we found that lifting "stuff" is not as important as dealing with hair that wraps around the brush/roller (everyone has long hair) and have never found a unit that is significantly superior at helping us deal with hair. We found that over time the hair issue gets worse because in some models it slows the motor, damaging it, others are difficult to disassemble to get the roller out to get access to the hair so we cam cut it out and their (mostly plastic parts) fall apart or are damaged so now it doesn't clean the floors very well. None of our girls have hair as short as 5" so for us that ids far too short to test with, we found that there is a non-linear relationship so as the hair gets longer it tends to get more wrapped around the roller much faster. We also tested modestly priced vacuums that claim to be pet hair oriented and they seemed (in our subjective tests over the years) to collect more hair on just one pass (we always do multiple passes in the real world) but are not easy to remove the lomgt hair from the roller so its tedious to de-hair the roller.

Great video as always. I used to sell Kirbys and Rainbows. My only issue with the testing if you sealed the vacuums for the CFM/MPH test. No one does that. It's not a real-world test. A crappy vac with weak power will still lift a bowling ball with a good seal. I know this because it's one of the things I used to show when demoing the vacs I used to sell. A high-power, high CFM vac isn't going to work efficiently if it's got leaks. I've seen plenty of crappy vacs pull out more dirt than "better" vacs because they had a better seal to the floor and less leaking.

One thing I didn't notice in your tests was overall envelope integrity/seal. There's a vacuum review guy on youtube that does a pretty good independent job like yourself, and a big factor for some of the models you tested is how well they filter their exhaust, and how good of a seal everything has. The dyson was out of our price range, so I ended up getting us a Shark Navigator (2 years ago), the lowest cost high-performing HEPA sealed upright I could find at the time. It punches pretty close to a Dyson IMO, but most importantly, it maintains our air quality while cleaning. This doubly benefits with no settled dust an hour following cleaning. Our previous walmart vacuum did horribly with this.

Grabbed mine on sale for $99 & it's been great for a vac in that price range. The suction is really good too compared to others in it's price range & it doesn't feel like the lightweight pcs of crap in that price range either. It's solid & I love that I only need to rinse the filters every so often & quickly run a seam ripper across brush roll to clear hair off. No disposable filters to buy, no belts to replace & it does the job I bought it for.

It not only entirely eliminated hair getting caught but was pulling up 3-4 times the junk in my carpets even after I'd used my previous vacuum over the same area. While it is heavier, I'd 100% recommend it to anyone with medium/large dogs with short or long hair.

I believe that for all tests, having the lane widths the same width as the head (or perhaps roller) would have been a better test for picking up the sand, rice, hair etc. This is because it takes into account both the width and how many passes it would take for any given area vacuumed - we tend to vacuum by overlapping passes - and it would also call out the vacuums which did not have enough suction for their head width. This provides a fair overall comparison between vacuum efficiency (how much it picks up in one pass) vs how many passes I would need to make for a given area (function of the head/roller width).

A couple years later we moved into a split-level house with deep pile carpet, and last December into a ranch with hard floors except a couple of area rugs. It has been an absolute champ throughout, including quite a lot of “off label” use in the basement and garage since January, cleaning up moving dirt and contractors and all manner of whatnot.

Sanitaire SC886 standard model with a 50’ heavy duty cord and 12” wide will work sooooo much better and more powerful than the crappy Dyson and last for umpteen years at half the cost.

One important factor is whether the system is sealed, meaning, the dust/dander/skin cells (yes, that stuff) is staying in the canister and not going out of the exhaust. VERY important factor for me with any vacuum purchase. One easy test is if it smells bad after you vacuum, that’s because all that stuff settled on the ground is up in the air and into your nose. Or if you have an air purifier, it’ll probably be going off while you are vacuuming too. Buy a sealed system, it’s worth it.

I have 3 dogs, including 2 gigantic Anatolian Shepherds who generate a lot of fur, and we foster dogs too, so I use Sebo vacuums with filter bags. The filters last us about a month.

@@Blink_____ Or just keep your trash can outside of the living space? I empty my vacuum into a trash can in a utility or mud room, not in a trash can in a kitchen or living room.

@@Blink_____ yeah I keep grocery bags for emptying the canister, it's too gross to do inside. I used to think as long as you were not too violent about it it should be fine, until the sun rays coming in one morning convinced me otherwise.

I have a Shark Apex, very similar to the Stratos. Best vacuum I've owned, although it is heavy. No hair wrap on roller bars, has suction adjustment (for different surfaces), and is the most versatile upright I've seen. "Lift-away" function makes it a canister, nice for stairs, and also has a little dolly, so canister on wheels. The attachments are also versatile for every need and work extremely well. Shark's customer service is fantastic as far as no-hassle warranty replacement on vacuums and parts. Highly recommend.
