I have just purchased the machine and found the instructions sooo confusing. But thanks to your video, i am more confident to operate the machine😊 thank you very much 🙏
I love my vacuum cleaner. I have several pets, and it’s amazing for picking up hair. I've had it for several years. I came across this video to see how to install the disposable filter bag. Thanks for the video!
"Hard work.." i.e. a really good work out! Thank you, I bought one and and am most happy that you are so meticulous in this excellent video, notably rinsing the rug washer spray with clean water to clean the hose. Much appreciated. NB. I did have a Rainbow (very very expensive) all those years ago, supposed to last 30 years; I treated it well, it lasted 5. Spare parts were so horrendously pricey and to find a service centre nigh impossible (back in the day anyway). I fully believe in walter filtration, it cleans the air; fine dust particles/bacteria/dust mite poo, cannot re escape from the exhaust because the water traps it all. Great for people who suffer carpet allergies, it captures the dust mites. I love the matching socks - they go with the machine.
I purchased one of these about 6 months ago and have been generally happy with it, however as pointed out using the water filtration is a little cumbersome for daily use. I would actually recommend (although expensive for what it is) the additional “easy box” cyclone or “ZYKLON” that is the same dimensions as the water box for dry vacuuming as an alternative to bags. I still use the water box for occasional deep cleaning and water pickup but the easy box felt like a game changer for daily use. Also the actual ability to set different power levels is surprisingly handy.
Same here, would definitely recommend the Dry Box, cyclone filter. My observation about it is that it does reduce the suction by ALOT, but is fairly effective for filtering. Very convenient to use for weekly, or by daily vacuuming of an apartment.
I would always use a bag for dry vacuuming. Water filtration only works well if the machine has a separator like the Rainbow or Hyla. Since this doesn't have that, cleaning it out after using water as the filter would be a mess.
Been using one for that last year now. "Jack of all trades master of none" sums up this vacuum perfectly. Honestly, this is a good option to have if you live in an apparent, have different surfaces and have small kids + animals. Its not great, but it does give you the tools to handle different problems like the occasional spill. So if you dont have the space for 2-3 good vacuums to handle all your needs this is a good solution, but an imperfect one. Honestly this would work much better with a good powered head, to improve carpet cleaning. I have small powered cordless Samsung vac, just to go over the carpets a second time after this one. They together cost less then a dyson and cover 95% of situations.
Impressive suction, not great for water pickup. The Thomas and RoTho have the disadvantage of smaller water capacities and overall disadvantages of cleanup afterwards if used in Water bath-based filtration compared to other machines that take the principles of the Rainbow in the use of a rotating centrifugal separator. [EDIT: Yeah, that's pretty messy, the Rainbow water basin is easier to clean and keeps the machine fairly clean as well.] Also, that machine, if used in North America has to be limited to 1500 W Max due to our outlets supplying 120 V 13 A (1500 W) nominal, peak of 15 A (1875 W). It may be used in some kitchens with 20 A outlets but that severely limits the machine. I looked into a model of this machine and the way it actively uses the water to filter the dirt with a constant curtain or spray of water over the intake, similar to the way Aqua-Air Wet and Dry central vacuums, DrainVac Automatik and dust downer adapters for commercial carpet extractors for dry vacuuming work. Of portable cleaners that use water bath-based filtration the best overall is the Rainbow as it has made some significant progress in the last 12 or so years with a self-contained carpet shampooer and wet hard floor cleaner as well as the small area shampooer attachments. [EDIT: Also, the newly improved mini power nozzle having LED lights and the pivot make it easier to use as well. With the Rainbow systems, the hoses for them can be purchased in three lengths: 8 ft (2.4 m), 14 ft (4.3 m) and 30 ft (9.14 m).] [EDIT: There isn't as much fiddling to prepare a Rainbow to go from regular vacuuming to wet pickup, fairly simply, you empty the basin, put it back into the machine and prepare and connect your preferred wet cleaning device (choice from the shampooer, mini shampooer or the hard floor cleaner). The floor extraction head doesn't seem to spray a wide path of water, unless it's clogged. Unless it's like that from the factory, that is wrong. I still don't understand why some cleaners don't have a built in rinse setting, that's something else (I know, I am a Rainbow fan) that I find as a Rainbow advantage is that easy switchover to rinsing mode with the carpet shampooer attachment. The sad part is this only pertains to the shampooer, the other two devices do not have a rinse setting.] The similar version sold for an incredibly short time in North America had a full-sized Wessel-Werk power nozzle, either the EBK340 or 360 but it's strange that this version has one of those wimpy turbines based on Wessel's TK28x series. If you want to make a good machine, don't make it weaker by putting a turbine nozzle on it because you reduce the airflow significantly. I have to admit, it's nice to see a EuroVac with an incredibly large dust collection bag that rivals Numatic's, but disappointing that it has such a tiny HEPA cartridge in front of the motor. Speaking of motors, it sounds like it's that same 4 inch (12 cm) screaming motor you see in most portable vacuum cleaners these days. It seems if you want a big motor in your machine you are left with a couple of options, specifically the Kirby and Rainbow (that includes the SRX, even though I think that's probably the smallest motor in a Rainbow ever.) I know you don't like having other people or services in to clean your carpets, but they have enzymes that help break down those messes and incredibly powerful cleaning equipment as well. I am not sure if truck-mount (I guess over there they would be lorry-mount or van-mount) extractors but carpet cleaning companies have some of the most powerful machines for cleaning carpets as well as access to chemicals to which most home users don't have access.
what is your opinion about the (mostly) similar Thomas aqua vacuum antiallergy?? better or worse than this vacuum?? thumbs up!! very informative video!!
It looks very similar but doesn’t have the carpet, floor and upholstery washing function. I expect the dry vacuum function will be the same as the Pet & Family model. Personally I would get a decent bagged vacuum from Sebo or Miele if you don’t want the washing functions.
Anyone know, exactly how good is water filtration for fine dust retention? I get the logic, trapping dust in a slurry of water, but surely if it’s that good the system would have gone mainstream? I wonder how well water filtration performs in comparison to bags, micro filter or a HEPA filter?
When Rainbow's first came out I went on their mini course to become a vacuum cleaner salesperson door to door, when pregnant!!! I was determined to sell enough of them so that I could earn enough commission to have one for my family of little children. Because I cannot abide the fine fine bacteria filled dust that blows out of vacuum cleaners when you get them out of the cupboard and switch them on to vacuum again. Did it just before birthing my 3rd child. This might answer your question: Rainbow patented the water filtration system, so no one else could use it - hence they could sell their awesome machine for a huge amount of money. This machine is fine, good enough - has a water filter system which is THE POINT, captures the fine unseen bacteria from dust mites etc etc etc, so pretty much does the same as the rainbow for a fraction of the price.
Hello, could you please tell me the best vacuum-mop for hard floors to replace a steam cleaner? I was looking at a bissell crosswave 1713 but im not sure if it will be good at removing dried on stains. I'd like something around £250 or under. I'd really appreciate if you could respond 👍
i want to know if the carpet is clean how do you the rest of the water out of the carpet that is still in the carpet if you are don its not like its completly dry after and in the winter . and i am talking about a big carpet from 3m on 3m so its heavy and i cant just carry up and down the stairs . just want to know how do get the rest of the water that still is in the carpet after you are don because its winter and i dont have heat in my bedroom. carpet is in the bedroom upstairs. anyone please help i dant want my carpet to rot and stink afther because it cant dry proply
@liamnariansamy9518 Yeah, it also has similar capacities unless it's used with a bag. I'm not really all that fond of EuroVacs as they tend to skimp on capacity, motor durability and are often proprietary and needlessly complex in design compared to other machines. Also, due to the small capacity of filters, the filters are more expensive than what I have paid for on my Rainbow. If you want to see a HEPA that's incredibly large and takes 5 years between changes and no carbon dust emissions from the machine, the Rainbow actually has fabulous filtration without the HEPA, as long as you don't pick up fine powders like ash, flour drywall or baby (talc) powder. Most of the time you don't want to do that on any household style vacuum cleaner, including Miele and Sebo because that's how you kill the motor. The machine you use for that is a bypass motor-powered wet and dry vac like you find from Shop-Vac, Ridgid/Emerson and similar machines with large bags and cartridge filters. My Rainbow E2 Black has a bypass motor, so it won't hurt it as air is pulled from a different place to cool it. I like the idea of Numatic's machines, fairly simple design with an on/off switch, easily replaceable power cord, huge HEPA bags, large pre-motor protective filter, fairly quiet in a compact design with a decent set of tools, wands, hoses and other options for a fairly decent price. Of course, here in Canada they are around $500 but are an excellent investment.
Definitely something that should probably be released to the US.
Wattage needs to be reduced for the US tho

Wow thats a cool styling and color. Looks good.
I bought this machine today, thank you very much for this video. it helps a lot.
Just got the machine. Thank you for the video. It’s much clearer than the instructions. Save time big time. Cheers. 😊

This will fly off the shelves!!
Cool vacuum
Greetings from Stockholm! Thank you for demonstration! I will definitely going to buy it.
I had one of these. Didn't think much of it to be honest. Far prefer my Sebo D4 which is hands down the best vacuum I've ever owned.
not in the UK. there is a wattage limit that this vac being shown doesn't have
Yey another video 🎉

People would assume the powerhead could be used for carpet cleaning and would electrocute themselves. Probably.

Hello Rogers way did you uploading the last friday on 17 why
Sebo BS36 Comfort review please
and You said you would do one
Hi which piece is suitable for wooden floor. Thanks
The standard carpet/hard floor nozzle with the brush down.
I have a question.
With the turbo attachment on larger carpets. Can I use the pump button too, to use it as a carpet cleaner ?
No.
what is your opinion about the (mostly) similar Thomas aqua vacuum antiallergy??
better or worse than this vacuum??
thumbs up!! very informative video!!

those are the same vacuums, but with different attachments

My pump is not working on this vacuum. It was working just fine then one day it stopped
Hiii ibaisaic I love u videos especially your shark videos and I have been waiting for a shark stratos demonstration video can you please do 1😢😢😢
How to put the cable back in the vacum?!?
I show you how in this video ruclips.net/video/tCGrjsVFUJI/видео.html at 10:28
can I wash the floor with it?
Yes.
The company who made this Thomas must of been thinking Vax, because this cleaner resembles something Vax would make.
Only this is far superior than the crap they are making now.
Similar to the Vax Luna
👍👍👍
Crikey! 120?!? That’s got some suction!
27:56 Warning: Solution tank is empty

Wao!
Why is there no "downholstery"? I mean, doesn't that make the English language incomplete?
Wow Roger 122 on your Suction Gadge will suck Christ of the Cross 😂
I thought setting up a kirby for carpet washing was a palaver, but this is ridiculous
My name is thomas
that thing looks like a miele

Waste of time and money honestly
