Lindhaus Valzer L-Ion: Testing Suction, Airflow, and Turbine Brushes 

Couldn't have set it all up without your help! Definitely might consider an airflow box setup later on.

@@MVPVacuums oh you definitely should the specs at the nozzle are like the most important part

You're welcome! Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about with the Lindhaus.

Actually, I'm curious about your opinion about the power of this vacuum: is it powerful enough for the role of unique vacuum cleaner in a house? I would use it for hard floors, sofas and beds (I only have two carpets)... Would I regret buying it, in your opinion?

Performance wise, I think it could work in your situation. I was using this as my only downstairs vacuum for a while, where it was cleaning hardwood floors, area rugs, and my couches. Worked very well for that purpose. I'll preface this next part by saying that I do like and use this vacuum a lot, but here are the major caveats to be aware of before you buy. 1.) Short hose - This vacuum's a little top heavy (especially with the M29R hard floor tool), so you have to keep the vacuum steady with one hand while you use the hose. Would suggest getting a telescopic wand, either a Miele or Lindhaus-size one will work. 2.) Carpet nozzle isn't good for bare floor cleaning: Even though you can shut the M30 carpet nozzle's brushroll off, it's still not nearly as effective on hard floors as the M29R suction-only nozzle. That said, the M29R is surprisingly good on low-pile carpets. 3.) Bags are on the small side: Pretty self-explanatory, and I'd recommend replacing them when they're packed about half or two-thirds full. I'd expect to get 1-2 months out of each bag if you were using it as your only vacuum.

Thank you very much for answering me so clearly and comprehensively; I think I will buy the healthcare pro eco though, because, honestly, as you say in your testing, the price for this cordless vacuum is a bit too much considering its modest power

@@fausto6882 I think the Healthcare Pro is a great choice! I've wanted to add one to my collection for a while. Hope it works well for you!

I like the Felix a lot for just the same reason, It's an awesome machine if you have a 50/50 hard floor & carpet home like I do. Like your corded model, the Valzer L-Ion is among the better grooming vacuums in my collection. That's definitely a solid list of choices for a cordless machine. You might also want to think about the Oreck XL21-based Hoover ONEPWR HEPA, which can be found around $200 on Hoover's website if you wait for a sale. I'm a huge fan of mine for the price. Cleans about as well as a corded vacuum and handles really nicely. Definitely want to compare it to the Riccar Cordless if I ever get the chance. The Makita looks like a really cool option and you'd probably be the first vacuum enthusiast on the block to own one, so to speak. That said, it looks like a pretty heavy machine at ~19 lbs according to Makita, compared to the Lindhaus at 16 lbs and the Hoover at 12 lbs. That said, it'd be pretty cost effective compared to the Lindhaus if you're already using Makita 18V tool batteries. If I hadn't found the Lindhaus below MSRP, there's a good chance I would have ordered the Makita instead.
