Why you should vacuum after shampooing.
Переглядів 163Місяць тому
Once the carpets are dry make sure to do a thorough vacuuming to get out the particles loosened up by the shampooing process. As you can see even in a very short pile carpet there's very fine sand left behind after pre vacuuming and shampooing.

      Right, a single stage motor tends to produce higher flow numbers where multi stage motors sacrifice that for higher lift. In this case we have 2 like 8 amp dual stage motors in parallel. It could be boosted to surpass it's current flow but eh It's mostly a novelty item for me

      I had to look that up lol. I was like wait the Hoover pixie? The Pixie/Steward was a machine with pretty good performance for it's size IMO. But yeah odd that the less powerful cordless machine got a hose while it didn't

    I am Dutch and I grew up with 2 of these at home! They were really common in Netherlands like 1 of 8 households had these machines! Really competing with Miele for the luxery vacuums! After this version came the Vision Excel from Philips with 425 airwatts, which evolved in the Philips specialist series vacuums, to the Performer series with 550-600 airwatts and even in 2024 there is a model which is the great great grandson from this vacuum

      i'm so used to them being an uncommon sight that it's so odd to me to imagine them being everywhere like that. I did take a look at their UK website and noticed the one bagged machine they had listed has been discontinued.

      @@jeroentabor4760 Okay, so the UK site wasn't an ideal place to see their lineup then? I'm not too familiar with different styles of plugs. Hmm yeah that's unfortunate but pretty typical of most manufacturers most brands "Aren't what they used to be."

    Nifty machine, but has performance notably below my 1980 Lux 1401B with the PN4. Similar power usage as well. Thanks for testing! Keep 'em coming. 👍

    These are very nice vacuums. Extremely common model (straight suction) in Europe. I am trying to find survivor to my collection. I have older (mid 80's) Philips P74 Electronic and it also has the same style motor what is in your GM80. All I can say about it is "over engineered" It has very complex exhaust channeling going around the bag compartment like a spiral and whole channel walls are coated with foam. Exhaust air comes out from top of the bag compartment. Bag full indicator "sensor" is metal flap floating in the exhaust air channel. So it only measures airflow, not suction. All I can hear is air flowing through the vacuum. Sounds like nothing else. So no wonder yours also had few design "quirks".

      That sounds interesting it if i'm picturing this right is like Sebo's airbelt but with a spiral shaped exhaust channel?

    Wow that is poor airflow and one of the biggest let downs what I have seen. My Lux Royal D790 (late 80's to early 90's) with 1150w motor pulls 102cfm from the hose end. Not only that, but my Elektro Helios Electronic U318 (Lux 325, late 70's) pulls 90cfm from the hose end with the original 900w motor and braided hose. And yes motorst in these have this weird axle end what makes them unserviceable. Than god they last a long time.

      Agreed. I've seen your videos on the lux so i figured this may be similar but lesser than yours but man it's...nowhere near as powerful.

      @@Blackheartvacs I might buy one of these 739 era design Lux vacs just to be curious. They were extremely popular in Finland thanks to busy door to door salesman and rare to Finland powerhead included. Powerhead was their "trick" Almost everyone used straight suction canisters and salesman always pulled tons of dirt from customers rugs. Still time to time I see these for sale.
