Well it did pull a little over 100 at the body as for why it pulled less at the hose it's hard to say exactly i'd assume with as dirty as it was it was used commercially and perhaps the swivel cuffs in the hose are more worn allowing more leakage but that's speculation really. Could also be that the damaged machine cuff was leakier than expected.

@Blackheartvacs That would make sense. By the way what's plastic adapter you use on your anemometer when you test air flow at hose ends?

@@WillieWonka928D Oh that's just a funnel I trimmed to fit.

Cool!

Yeah for all hard flooring it'll be fine.

Can't remember what exactly I did with it but it's no longer in my possession

I don't know if they'd be compatible.

I don't really know which stores sold what models.

@ i am guseing walmart or kmart

I actually Don't have it anymore, my collection is always changing it seems, and decided the DC39 was more practical for my purposes

I'm not sure. I think some were sold in dealerships like vacuum shops but I think some were also sold in big box retailers.

@ ok cool thanks for the info

Eh it's not AS bad in person but yeah kind of annoying sounding

Good question. I'd imagine it would be somewhat effective but unknown if it would be as effective as a pair of counter rotating brushes.

That light is pretty nice on your hard floors it allows you to really see all the junk, kind of like a Miele S7/U1

the filter goes on the back behind a door you have to like insert one side of it in first. as for the basket i'm assuming you mean the perforated cage thing? It goes right into the bag chamber and also holds the bag if memory serves

I can't remember

I could see the average person being confused by that setup and then wondering why the vacuum "isn't working" I know the purpose of it is to allow the brush motor to run on it's own for their dry cleaning system but it's like couldn't they do this in a more....simple way? Their lack of airflow is their greatest weakness. A machine that costs what they do should perform better. We see other brands using 4.3 motor that are capable of getting 60+ CFm at the base while Lindhaus uprights trail behind in the 40s. That said their brushroll is their redeeming quality and those work very well.

Unfortunately I don't have it anymore

It is a shame they were such a solid machine! Just a few tweeks like Hepa Bags and a more updated powerhead and they'd be in line with many high end machines of today.

I feel like the Sebo is one of the best built, if not the best, and has great features like the removable brushroll but I feel like it's performance is below that of the Lindhaus or WW. I do have to wonder how all of the RPMS change under load too.

I actually prefer the ET-1, but my reasoning and impressions might be due to the relatively small opening seeming accelerating the CFM/sq. inch at the nozzle and really seeming to increase the efficacy. It also seems to create a very well balanced seal with a variety of carpet types.

@@ABG2412 That is sensible

​@@Blackheartvacsdepends on what it's attached to

Yeah they're definitely way bulkier and heavier than they need to be. The Ametek 115923 is the motor i've seen in the few samples I've had open I wonder why your 3rd one has stronger specs. Eh i'm not too fond of the Sebo ET-C and I often will use a powerhead on hard floors out of laziness.

@Blackheartvacs The first two are miracle meat platinum vacuums like your video The third one is a miracle mate MK1 which is a little bit older version looks kind of more like a TriStar with the cord reel. I believe they're all the same motors I only know how to identify the Ametek motor by the color of the brush holders They're all orange I'm assuming that's the one you mentioned I think it's considered as the high performance variant. Often wondered if one of those motors would fit in a filter queen but I think they might be slightly taller then the Ametek 1631101.

@@robmclellan6779 That's interesting another collector recently told me he thought his MK1 was stronger than the platinums he had. As for Identification there's typically a sticker on the fan case with it's information.

It had it's novelty but i've been doing it for 8+ years so it's routine by now.

That's an interesting combo

I don't think i've come across a replacement unfortunately. If you are invested into the machine one could get a 3d printed part design to use a more common filter

Now it is within reach.

@@Blackheartvacs Yea, only if it sold in Europe and wasn't like 600 USD+. But it would be really cool if I could get one and attach it to my Henry.

@@匿名的-1 I'm shocked that it's not sold in Europe each part says it's made in Europe. Wonder why it's not available.

@@Blackheartvacs It's a bloody nightmare to get vacuums with Electric brushes. The only new vac I can think of with these powerheads that aren't stick vacs is the Sebo K3, E3, D3 Premium. Lindhaus is kinda hard to get, you gotta buy through hotel equipment sellers and Miele no longer sells the once sold C3 Complete Electro with the same WesselWerk head as this, but mains powered. I guess it's because we usually don't have wall to wall carpets. At least not in continental Europe just a little bit in the UK.

@@匿名的-1 That would be frustrating.

Should be obtainable since WW is a german product. Hope you can find one!

That would be a decent combo. If i recall correctly Nacecare has been selling their products with it and the corded models + nozzle get a gold rating from the CRI where cordless models get a silver which for a cordless machine is pretty good.

Oh yeah! and the airflow retention that should occur. 3D printing has a lot of potential uses. I have been designing pieces to mate a eureka style upright to a backpack. Hard to say when i'll actually get those printed and implemented though

It was certainly unusual which is why i decided to document it. Unfortunately this motor is non serviceable it has a large rounded piece over the fan and the final piece of the separator doesn't appear to come off.

5 years seems pretty good by modern standards. I do agree though part of it is that these older models spun at a lower rpm meaning a much slower wear rate. They are quite lacking in user conveniences though.

5 years is not good enough for me only 20 years is good enough for me

Are the inner workings the same? Like the motor and what not. i've suspected that they are but was unsure.

@@Blackheartvacs The motors (and the entire top end by extension) are the same on those I believe, it's just the cleaner head is shaped differently more to resemble the look of a traditional Aerus Electrolux.

@@graysonsvacsandmowers5426 Okay that's kind of what I figured, thanks for the confirmation.

So there was a vax variant too! I thought there may have been as I was looking at all the re-labels

Hmm i'm guessing auto correct may be at play here. I've heard of Rexair if that's what you meant. They are the parent company of Rainbow which are still in production.

Huh come to think of it the felt seals seemed very dirty....never even thought that they were like covered in grease or something i just figured it was 40 years of filth

Yes, just checked mine, i was unsure

@ So the brush roll turns off when handle is in the upright position.

@@Bunkysworkshop Correct

@ Thank you 😊. I have purchased one on eBay and the lady said that she can’t get the brush roll to work. I said I think the handle should be in the down position in order for it to work. She said she didn’t try that but will check it today.

Oh you just need to change the adapter at the top of the fill tube. Part 190484 is the round style used on the heritage II and is compatible with the twist on hepa bags. This particular Heritage also had the leather like fill tube (cloth-like exterior, leather interior) so i replaced that too, part 190384 IF you need it.

Eh my luck with that has been limited but the impact driver works fine so no need for me to do it manually, a good tip for those without one though!

@@Blackheartvacs yes in fact i wear cutproof gloves and use a ratchet wrench to loosen that nut off so that way i am able to remove the nut so i can deeply clean the motors out

To each their own. The high cost of replacement is my main reason for disliking them. Yup I'd assume these were like the very top trim model.

I can see why it's very handy!

Remind me, does it use a push in style bulb or a bayonet style (push and twist with two little stubs)

@@Blackheartvacs yes its one of those led bulbs that twists and push into place that have two stubs on both sides mine is a whirlwind limited plus and it has the halogen bulb on it the bulb still works but i have been looking for an led bulb for it

@@andrewherrera2736 Okay! ba15D is the base type for those. Here's the daylight (white light) ones I bought recently www.ebay.com/itm/266901316738 I'm not really brand loyal on them I just buy whatever is a decent deal
