Sealed lift, max CFM @ 2.0" & working lift with 5/8" are always interesting - though more helpful selling a vacuum than understanding how it performs. CFM at the tool orifice @ .625" (be it at end of hose or thru the nozzle) is the metric of overall straight suction system performance. You need adequate suction, but suction does not clean, it only moves the collected debris into the filter. It's all airflow and tool design for hard surfaces, or airflow, brush & agitation for textiles. Turbo nozzles do not clean installed carpeting, they move stuff around the surface. Great Vid!
Went to your Patreon page, found nothing about ordering the working vacuum gauge. No longer available? Ordering one seems a nice way to support the channel without going full Patreon.
The only thing I don’t like about the turbocat is the noise! I understand that the louder the turbine is, the faster the brush is spinning. Not going to lie, doesn’t spin that fast for how loud the thing is!
You choose the wire gauge based on the amps that the machine draws (continuous , not peak) and the length of the cord. Assuming the Miele draws 10 amps, you would want 12 gauge for 150ft, 14 gauge for 100ft, 16 gauge for anything 50ft or shorter. I think it’s best to buy the thinnest gauge cord for your needs, you’ll save money, it will be more flexible in use, and it will be easier to store. I prefer SJEOW insulated cords for better flexibility and durability.
testing at the hose not the base of the head is like dyno at the crank . real power measured at the wheels. whats the beef with the cfm air box it literally shows the effectiveness of the airpath...
It dose show one metric one tested right. Kind of like a Dyno testing both horsepower and pound feet of torque. Using a box shape design designed to test something creates a ridiculous amount of air turbulence which is why I see that testing is invalid when done 90% of the time.
Wouldn't even a crappy airbox be somewhat representative, as long as every machine is tested with the same crappy airbox? It won't tell you much about the machine's actual peak airflow, but it could let you compare roughly apples-to-apples, no?
