You guys got anything on wall mounted garage vacs? Bissell Garage Pro, Prolux, Vacumaid, etc.
What are your thoughts on the Kirby vacuums? I noticed that you don't review them in any of your videos. Thanks!
What is your thought on old Hoover elites?
Hi! Have you reviewed ash vacums ? Thank you !
@@adamsherer2578 Owned one. They are extremely heavy, under power, unfiltered, and of course ridiculously expensive. Replaced it with a $200 Bissell that out performed it in every way.
@Brandon Kilian All three of the recommended uprights in the description are canister type vacuums.
2 reasons:
1. They suck.
2. They don't even suck.
Oh the irony!
Lol good one
No no, he’s got a point
Lol
😂
Me: *looks at my $60 vacuum*
Vacuum: *starts sweating*
Lightening strikes outside makes you look like a shadow momentarily..... ^_^
Start saving up for a real vacuum cleaner and get yourself a 390 dollar Sanitaire EON.
Michael Xie lol...me too
🤣😂🤣😂
David Perry
NO!!!
A Kenmore 31140/31150 is far superior in versatility, and it has an insane amount of suction.
More than any Dyson in existence
Thank you so much!
I'm 20 and I didn't know. I thought the room is supposed to smell bad after vacuuming because that's the way it's been all my life and even now.
I love this channel. God I'm getting old.
🤣🤣 Ditto!
Getting old only happens when you get to live long enough
I'm only 17 i love seeing these channels
This video was an eye opener. Never knew how much dust escaped in a normal vacuum. Definitely getting a sealed vacuum soon!
Glad to hear it!
Dude this is bullshit, classic design vacuum cleaners with bags and simple container don't have the dust issue at all because there is no leakage at all and for hard floors just use a vacuum with good designed suction end and these things can be found in 50 bucks vacuum cleaner
I need you to review fridges, washers, driers, stoves and everything esle just as you do vacuums!
Xxan His channel is only based on reviewing vacuum cleaners.
His channel is called “Vacuum Wars”.
Xxan Totally agree! He is the most thorough tester out there!
Does your refrigerator somehow clean carpets?
@@CShannon1991 It's called "having multiple channels." He's already established as a vacuum reviewer, and vacuums are a household appliance. It's not unreasonable to assume a fair portion of his viewer base would be interested in a similar quality of content pertaining to other household appliances.
bobwinslow Thank you! Yes, that’s what i was thinking. 👍
I would be interested to see a filtration test of the premium robot vacuums.
+1
Me too~
Yes
@@martingo2680 Have you not seen vacuum wars tests? Also what kind of coins are you used to? The fans in decent robot vacuums are the with of at least a teacup.
@J C Have you seen the electrolux?
That black light test is awesome and hopefully will be part of your testing parameters from now on. Great work Chris!
I'd love to see the reaction when you walked to the register with a cart full of vacuums
Christian I’m sure it was a sucky face...
The clerk was really pushy with the extended warranty offer. His commission potential was life-changing money.
Id love to see the reaction when he walks back to the store to return 10 vacuums lol.
I love how you were using the v11 while the robot vacuum cleaners were running. Made me smile!
I would love to see this kind of showcase with robot vacuums, I'm super curious how their seals are and how well they filter the air now.
Coltography oh I im subbed to you and your watching vacuum wars also.
That’s funny
Also was moving all of the lights and strips to your new house hard
Definitely! Really hoping I'm not shooting myself in the foot having invested in one that I now do 90% of my vacuuming with.
@@stap1er same!
My god i just love this channel. Trying to convince a stubborn old man (my dad) to use the expensive vacuum is like climbing a mountain, and these videos does help a bit
I still have my tank Electrolux I purchased back in the 1970’s. It still has awesome suction and I can still get bags for it.
You are missing the point of the video, suction is not the problem
Straight through and no nonsense click bait, love this channel ❤️
Reason #1 -- that was me for *years!* I grew up with that "we-just-facuumed-the-house-smell"... like dust and hair that had been heated up to almost-but-not-quite-burning. It wasn't until I was on my own for a long time that I got frustrated and tried to figure out what was going on, which ended in me disassembling my vacuum to a level where I could reverse it, and cleaning off the biggest hair-wrap .... well, a really big hair-wrap.
-
I think the reason that people buy cheap vacuums is because my Dyson Pet Pro 2 (the last upright model that runs off of a wall outlet) costs *four times more* than a $89.99 unit from Wal-Mart. But:
1 - it looks the same as far as basic shape goes
2 - it sounds the same -- a big loud "whrrrrrrrrr" when running
3 - the carpet has more-or-less the same 'freshly-vacuumed' marks on it
-
If people are like me, then they don't/didn't even know that the 'burnt-dust-vacuum-smell' isn't a fact of vacuuming, _it's just indicative of inferior design._
I bought a dyson v11 to my mom. after a month when I visited her again I realized she didnt use it. I asked her why, she said 'I would rather use mop, I cant stand the vacuum smell.'
I took me so many effort to convince her that modern good vacuum have actual seal because shes got use to one without.
@@bilibiliism what does a good seal have to do with the vacuum smell? And usually the vacuum would smell if u vacuum up smelly dirt and leave it in the bin for a while and/or u never wash the 2-in-1 filter
Specifically because your vacuum will need to last long and protect your family&home from all the shit on your floors it makes sense to save up to get better vacuums. This was IMMENSELY helpful since I didn’t (previously) put too much respect into the HEPA filter. Putting all my priority into almost trivial features like swivel and cord rewind and attachments. I knew that a full seal was important, but coupled with HEPA, THOSE are the real priorities we all should look for. Thank you for doing all this.
I knew my vacuum was junk when I saw it covered in dust and I was sneezing when using it and the room smelled bad. Now I know.
I literally had that black and blue black&decker and upgraded to a cordless stick after watching some of your videos. The results are insane. It's almost like I wasn't even vacuuming before 😅
This is one of the most helpful channels on CZcams. Thanks for all your help.
This is without a doubt the most concise, thorough, and informative reviews channel period!
Thank you!
I can see why you made this video. I hope people who are looking for a budget vacuum follow your tips if they have bad allergies to dust or pollen. Lets just hope for better budget vacuums in the future!
Great information. I had always gone from one cheap vacuum to the next until I recently bought the shark one you always suggest and holy cow!! Night and day difference in so many ways! Thank you for what you do!!
I appreciate who ever took out time to do the research and thoroughly explain it.
@Vacuum Wars I'm very late to your video but I'm so thankful to have found your channel....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!!!
This is such important information ....I just don't know why you aren't OVER..... MILLIONS OF SUBSCRIBERS?
YOUR research and editing and your time......it is an amazing package that is incredibly well thought out and the master is superb!!!!
Again, so thankful for what you do....God Bless you and all who may read this comment 🙏🐾🕊🐣
Yes, a new subscriber now AND using your shared expertise in finding a new vacuum.
Thank you so much!!!
I never ever knew about the heppa filter vacuum and I’ve been using cheap vacuums my whole life because I come from a poor family. Maybe that’s we got sick so easily... thank god for this video 😭
I wish you all the best in the future Kaylynn!
I hope your health will be amazing 🙏
Best regards from Norway
If you want to vacuum hard floors, I love the duoclean line from Shark. Excellent at getting all the debris that suction only with no brush roll would miss. I honestly wouldn't go back to using a vacuum without it; the only exception is owning a Kirby specifically for carpets.
Oh no I've been having issues since we moved and have hardwood. I bought the cheap 54 dollar vaccum and it blows the dirt away at times on my floors. Thank you for these videos!! I also have bad allergies.
A little clarification regarding the early vacuums. Some COULD clean hard floors. Straight suction vacuums most notably could because, as the term implies, there was no brushroll. others like the early pre-war kirbys could allow you to take the belt off (this of course was before built in belt lifters were a thing) or had mechanical, gear driven brush rolls (that is, they would turn as the wheels did). The latter was found on straight suction machines (see Kirby’s video on the scott fetzer sanitation system for an idea of how the mechanical roller worked)
As someone who's worked in HVAC, it's funny how much people focus on a filter and not what houses it. If your filter is more air tight than the housing.. your'e gonna have a bad time 😅
I had purchased a Walmart vacuum on sale $99 and thought I got a deal. I found your video and cancelled my order immediately and got the Shark NV352 Navigator Lift Away Upright Vacuum because I still need a budget option. Thank you for making adulting easier for me I am truly grateful!
This was very helpful thank you for the insight. I would have never known what to buy today if it wasn't for this video and the vacuum didn't disappoint.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I have had my mother-in-law fuss at me for spending so much on a vacuum (in her opinion) and now I can show this because the hand-me-down (that she gave me and was...20 years old) would make the room stink and it always hurt my back to vacuum with it.
Get a KIRBY VACUUM.
Put it at the end of your driveway for your mo in law to see 🤣
You've just taught me why my vacuum has its issues! It wasn't even cheap! Now I know what to look out next time.
This is probably the most educational video that I have seen on vacuums. Thank you.
Thank you!
Good informative video, cheers. I really like the black light test. I'd love to see that integrated into some of the new reviews like the V11 Outsize, to see how much of that black light visible dust gets picked up from the floor.
Love how the test dust says “ may cause cancer if inhaled”!
Do you review central vacuums?
The reasons you addressed in this video were they primary reasons why I spent the money and installed a central vacuum in my townhouse. I used to have a small, bag less, canister vacuum, with hepa filters, and yeah - it would smell somewhat cleaner, there would be that lingering dust smell. Further, anytime
I emptied the canister, it was release a lot of that dust. Cleaning the “washable filters” was a horrible messy messy job - an allergic persons nightmare.
So so happy with my central vac.
Thank you I learned a lot. This is valuable information, keep up the good work!
great video! can you do some test of air purifiers as well? or do you have another channel for these kinds of stuff?
My Numatic James only cost me £90 on offer at the time I bought it, and it's a great vacuum, has a HEPA bag and a huge filter too, the air always smells clean after using it. Numatic vacuums are one of the best selling here in the UK, I can see why too after having mine for just over 2 years now and it's never let me down in any way. We also have a MK2 Dyson DC40 animal too and that's alsona good vacuum but I don't think it's as good as the James is, the carpets always look cleaner when they've been done with the James than they do when they've been done with the Dyson.
Wanted to mention, going back to old vacuums only doing carpet and rugs, I remember growing up vacuums didn't even have roller brushes they had metal roller beater bars. To clean rugs way back when you'd bring them outside and beat them hence beater bar. I'd be curious to see a comparison between a super old style metal beater and newer brush style on the sand pickup test
Steve, the Hoover Junior/Senior had beater bars and brushes on them.
I can confirm that the Hoover Junior and the Hoover Turbopower 1 [no beater bars, just brushroll[ are very good at picking up sand [walk dogs on the shore so plenty of sand comes home]
Your vids are amazing. Ps should I buy the debot 960?
I’m shook. Thanks for sharing. Very informative. I love my Dysov V15 Detect and now I feel more justified buying it.
How about durability and service ability?
I found out the Shark we bought a few years ago requires a whole head replacement for just fixing the beater bar. It’s insane because it’s almost half the price of the vacuum to fix.
I’ve been through cheap vacuum cleaners because that’s all I could afford. I’ve been taking my own advice to never buy a cheap vacuum cleaner ever again in my life.
You don’t even have to tell me twice. I’m saving for expensive vacuum cleaners.
But Thanks for the heads up!!!
Cj Smart e too I’ve had cheap ones for years well it’s a dyson 8 for me next very light as I’ve got arthritis I just want for clean and go, in little spurts daily.
The "Shark® APEX® DuoClean® with Zero-M® Self-Cleaning Brushroll Upright Vacuum" (with the true pet upgrade) has been amazing! I don't hurt my back anymore and I got it on sale! I recommend signing up for e-mails and waiting until a good sale happens. President's Day is coming up, so that would be one. If you (or anyone else) would like to know more or see anything on it, let me know. :D
Most of the expensive vacuum cleaner websites now have financing programs. You should see if you qualify for one. At the end of the day you are providing something amazing for your household and your family will thank you. 😊 hope this helps.
I forgot to mention that I have allergies and asthma.
Steve Sherman WTH are you talking about?
Thanks for the info man. I think this video should go to everyone
Glad to see my vacuum is your #1 choice. Shark vertex is amazing!!
The dirt devil power swerve stick vac is my favorite budget vac of all time. Costing only $68, it comes with both a squeegee and a brushroll on/off switch. The battery lasts 20 minutes and 2 seconds on full charge, far more than it says on the box. It has a partially sealed system around the dirt bin, although not having a HEPA filter. It’s also very light and cordless/convenient. It’s my favorite!
I wish you included the cheap ones to find out which one is the best for budget geared consumers. What better way to show how amazing the premium vacuums are by comparing them at the same time with the same tests. Even just for fun. It just seems like Robot Wars has a little bias towards the premium brands example the never heard of $1600 vacuums.
love this channel, thanks for your work.
Much appreciated!
My 5yo soon lives watching this video and has watched it a dozen times. I must also say though that it made us get a better vacuum too so thanks for the education!
Sealed systems will be the next innovation in robot vacuums.
Unless they are Craftsman, I have a small one that I bought more than 3 years ago and removes the dust very fine in my bedroom.
Not all cheap is bad lol
Thanks for this. Looking for a new vacuum and I hate that "vacuum smell" after vacuuming. Will be looking at sealed units.
Dang!!! So goooood! So helpful! Thank you!
you are very welcome!
Just bought my first shark navigator with the sealed system and it’s insane I never have to dust in my house it seems like
Can you review a steam mop I've been looking at them but I want to know if they actually work good
I just purchased a McCulloch Steamer 1285 to specific which is their best one but they have a cheaper one thats smaller.. It cost me about 200 but its worth it OMG if your gonna spend over 100 dollars on a steamer get one thats versatile vs a simple floor steamer that you can only use one the floor. Its comes with like 23 attachments, holds enough water for 2hrs continuous steaming, has a long hose and cord like honestly I'm in love with this thing and its amazing on my Hardwood and tile floors check it people have reviews on it.. Plus during covid having a good steamer around to disinfect your home and even your N95s to stretch them out since real N95 mask are limited right now for most of us. But yes you should get a steamer you will LOVE IT! 😃
Thanks for the video. Helped me decide to purchase a high dollar vacuum.
Gr8 video, what’s your opinion on the Henry, Hoovers?
Is this the case with robot vacuums?
I bought a new $50 Bissell 5 years ago.....it is still going strong.....
The puke emoji - my favorite! I knew Shark would be top of the lists in the recommendations.
About a week ago after a flea incident I went and got a 59 dollar Bissell and yea it was a vacuuming beast but as soon as I looked it up on CZcams this video popped up. I’m so glad it did because as soon as I saw the unsealed system without a hepa filter I took the bissel back and ordered your recommended shark Apex duo clean. Unfortunately it was a refurbished model that broke in a week so I traded it for a cordless Tineco pure one S-11 tango. I just got this new Tineco S-11 a couple days ago and this thing is a really good and affordable cordless vacuum Plus it is perfect for my whole house of hardwood floors. I think it’s much faster without a cord for daily vacuuming, so the broken Apex was a blessing in disguise. Thank you for the video and the visuals it really made me see just how unacceptable it is to have dust blowing out like that, to me you might as well not vacuum.
Thank you - you made my day!
Nice mask, I wear one when I vacuum with our non sealed vacuum you showed in the test
So what about robot vacuums ?
BRO!!! I LOVE YOU!!! Thank you for your service!!!!
Thank you too!
I have the bissell magic vac which is a super cheap vacuum - around $60+ but I bought it on sale for like $20-25 CAD. Its one saving grace is that it has a squeegee. It picks up all the visible particles no problem.
Also you can't buy spare parts for cheap cleaners. When they go faulty you have to buy another one.
Please test the robot vacuums with this! I’d really like to know
This was my first thought!
@@CannabisTechLife Same!
One problem.
*How are you going to keep it from running the fck off?!* 😅
It ticks me off that Shark skimped on hepa filtration on the Ionflex f80, but have it on the P50 canister version in the same price range. I still love the f80, and the Mrs. wanted it over the P50 because it's not as heavy, and she goes over baby gates a lot in our home. Plus it came with 2 batteries. Though it doesn't bother us when vacuuming, it would have been nice peace of mind. No regrets on the purchase though, it's a great little machine, and handles hard floors like a boss. Keep up the great videos.
You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for this content. Not as fun as kitten videos, but very, very useful and I'm sure you have improved the lives of your fellow citizens.
That awkward moment when I have the exact same vacuum as the one in the thumbnail 😂
don't buy bagless either. the bag is a giant filter and when you are done the bag is self contained so small particles won't get back out, like from dumping a bagless bin
good points. I would love for you to test few vacuums with the blacklight test. I.e. - everything cheap against dyson.
What a great test with the air quality! Is the filter system in the roborock s 5 max sealed ? Thank you for your awesome videos !
I knew this from smell and it tripping my allergies to the point that I HATED vacuuming because the one we had blew it straight in the operator's face! I TOLD YOU SO MOM!
Thank you vacuum wars. Now to search through your stuff for one that's decent but actually affordable for me...
0:04 look at this dude
Such good info.
What's your take on
Portable Washers ?
Great review! What about the Miele Dog and Cat? Thoughts?
Kudos to you guys for once again putting a spotlight on the harmful and air-polluting effects of portable vacuums.
Even expensive, sealed vacuums of the type you described will eventually begin leaking contaminated air since they are are not stationary devices like air purifiers. The daily operation of moving a vacuum through a room, banging into walls and furniture, up and down stairs will, over time, cause the integrity of the sealed HEPA filter housing to be compromised.
As an asthmatic and severe allergy sufferer myself, I have found the only solution to be a central/integrated vacuum with the collection tank and associated dust removed from the living space altogether. Since the machine generating the suction is remotely located, affixed to a wall, and immobile, it is not susceptible to the air leakage found in a portable or robotic vacuum. The integrity of the sealed container is maintained and in fact, the residual dirty air is often exhausted outside entirely. Central vacs are inherently healthier and better for indoor air quality. Period.
People always ask why I’m getting a new vacuum every couple of years thinking I’m being wasteful.
I have problems with breathing and allergies. I get rashes from the littlest things and sinus infections all through the cold seasons. I NEED good vacuums and air filters and people without these problems just don’t get it.
I just bought a robô vacuum , I’m satisfied with it - but I keep watching vacuum wars videos because they are just so interesting 🤦🏻♂️
Switch to meile years ago and so far its been great and the cats are not afraid of it. I have not see a review testing the filtration though.
Loving the particle counter setup
Doing more air Purifier reviews soon?
I’d like to see a video considering “Which keeps a room less dusty over time? A Robot Vaccuum, an air purifier, or a robot vaccuum and an air purifier setup”
I’d love to see a comparison of an old Kirby vs new vacuums just to see the real difference.
I bought a Kirby in a garage sale for cheap. I'd love to see a test too.
I'm curious as well, I have an old Kirby that really sucks, but wondering if there's something better now.
My Kirby is 20. Now used much since we got wood floors in so used it in my cleaning business. Stopped because it was sucking the commercial carpet tiles off..LOL I mainly use Oreck type now. Main reason is suction and many laminate, low pile surfaces. So far the best suckers are those that have a fan right after the roller. If it has to suck thru filters and housings, I won't use it except new const homes because of the loose carpet piles would fill a bag quickly and a canister I can dump and keep going. I love using the Kirby as a shop vac.
“Don’t buy cheap vacuum cleaners”
My brain: got it, don’t buy cheap $20 vacuums
I bought a Jimmy JV51 based on your review, and while I know it failed your HEPA test (personally I still can't see the visible smoke that you tried to point out in the video) I'm still really pleased with it!
I have Hoover Windtunnel, probably the first edition, with the suction power of an uninterested girlfriend. I've disassembled it entirely and cleaned it out and it's still crap. Most of my house is hard surface with area rugs so your little tidbit about sealing the suction opening and brush control is super handy.
As someone from EU region im so confused. I never saw a vacuum that is unable to be used on hard floor. I assume it is related to lack of vertical vacuums in eu, and horizontal ones use different kind of motor as i learned from another video of yours
“Lack of vertical vacuums in the EU” maybe in Eastern Europe but not western. The U.K. and Germany being the largest consumers and producers of upright vacuums(at one point in time) .
I recently saw a British review of the Samsung jet 70 which only had a soft roller while the US version has that and the carpet cleaning tool. Maybe the same vaccum is included with different accessories.
Shark has a sealed system!
Great vid! I'm thinking to get Shark duoclean liftaway (nv800) thanks to ur other video. That one's air quality should be fine, right?
HEPA filters can filter particles of almost all sizes, not just 0.3 microns and up. It's just that they are rated at 0.3 microns because usually HEPA filters are the least efficient at that particle size.
I bought some cheap vacuum cleaners, and I loved them so much, that my family got *sucked* into using it!
Hard floor; I just use dust pan, a broom, and a wet mop to finish, no particles get scattered.
Your Grandma would be ashamed! You were supposed to get a wash rag & dish cloth. After you sweep and use the dust pan, you get the wash rag and wipe the floor, rinsing and cleaning as needed. Then you dry any moisture left from wiping/ scrubbing the floor with the wash rag using the wash cloth.
Nothing kicks up dust like a broom.
Try sweeping some loose dry dirt outside with a broom.
Even a small amount of sweeping with a broom on a relatively clean floor causes an air purifier's air quality indicator to turn RED for a long time with the kitchen fan running all along. Sweeping with a broom is horrible.
What about bagged vacuums? Is it completely sealed? or safe for air quality, especially indoors
i have a hoover max life elite… it does have HEPA filter, but no shut off switch for the brushroll, thankfully there’s a squeegee.
it is cheap at 140, but overall, works great!
I’ll take the Shark or Dyson over any other cheap brands.
Thank you very much.
Even those have poor filtration compared to many bagged designs.
Tyler Clark Do you recommend bagged vacuums and if so, what brand is the best?
I would rather have a Henry then shark or dyson
Thank you very much
Cj Smart
If you are in the uk then go for a Henry there one of the best selling vacuums
We use Henrys at work and they’re cool. At home, I have a Miele, AEG and a cordless Dewalt vacuum cleaner.
My house has carpet in one room and the stairs. I’ll stick with my cheap vacuum for the 5 mins it takes me to do it.
What’s the point of an upright then ? Just get a canister
A few years ago I was looking for a new vaccum and borrowed my parents Shark. It was great, but expensive - so I bought a Vax that looked similar but was only £100. I've long suspected it may be spewing dust into the air (dust gets to me quite badly) - I didn't realise this was a common thing (or that some were advertised as sealed) 😱 I'd love to see it put through your tests, but I'm not sure you have them over there (though you're welcome to it if you want to cover shipping from the UK 😁).
So I ordered a Shark - as I should've done on my parents original recommendation - an NV801UK, which I keep finding more positive comments about on your videos since ordering :-)
Incredibly educational, thank you!! It's very worrying that these vacuums are allowed on the market in the first place.
