    I picked up a ‘tip’ for budget conscious viewers on a hoover review - the idea was aimed at consumers who aren’t keen on the added cost or expense of having to purchase bags frequently - you cut the end of a disposable bag in a straight line to make it easy to dispose of dust etc and then fold it a couple of times and use a couple of clips to hold the fold in place so suction isn’t lost - the slider/binder from an A4 document organiser can be trimmed to fit the bag if this is an idea that interests you..!

    • @ibaisaic
      @ibaisaic  3 месяца назад

      It’s not a new idea. I have vacuum cleaners from the 60s that use disposable bags with a clip at the bottom so the bag can be emptied. Suction will be reduced each time a bag is reused as the pores in the bag whether it be paper or fabric will clog up over time and a new bag will have to be fitted to return the cleaner to full suction.

    A utility vacuum is indeed a necessity for anybody who owns a garage and surrounding property. That Nilfisk is a handsome little dynamo! The additional tool kit completes the package comprehensively. Finally, the machine’s deep blue is intoxicating! Roger…have you ever been told you are a genius?

      Not just home owners, but renters as well, That way you could help out your super or landlord in trying to clean up a mess before it gets to places you don't want it to go, like the troubles with leaking water mains, malfunctioning appliances like washers and dryers, dish washers, you name it. Also handy like Roger said in defrosting his freezer. I rent my house with my Mom and Brother and having one handy helps in that regard.

    What I’d use it for: shampooing my truck’s interior.
    When I was an auto detailer, something we used was a bucket, a sponge, some degreaser, warm water, and a shop vac. It was relatively effective, and it’s a cheap way for those who already have a shop vac to start shampooing their car or truck interior. I can see this doing a fairly good job, albeit probably not as good as a dedicated carpet shampooer.

    I've got a Nikfisk Buddy II 18, it has to be the loudest vacuum I've ever heard, our Numatic George sounds whisper quiet in comparison.
    The supplied floor tool and plastic pipes are absolutely awful quality on the Nilfisk Buddy, I can see why you ordered a kit with metal pipes. I ended up buying a cheap set of 35mm hand tools from Amazon for mine and they have been fine. I find the Buddy very useful for all the horrible and messy jobs especially DIY. I did use it on our cars but it is just too loud, so I bought a George. The Buddy now lives in the workshop and I've even used it in the garden. The blow function is very handy and more devices should have this function as it doesn't really cost anything to implement.

    These lil wet and dry vacs are very powerful, I’ve got the similar karcher wd2 plus which I use for clearing out and around an indoor rabbit enclosure. I always use bags the only problem though is the filter takes up a lot of room in the tub. Other than that it’s a very good machine for picking up sawdust and hay.

    I’ve had an Earlex wet/dry vac before, but as well as a 32mm tool kit, it came with a 50mm set. They’re so rare now, I don’t think you can get a wide diameter hose/tool set for Karcher’s wet dry range for example. It’s a shame as the larger bore tools are really what you need for bigger debris or picking up leaves… I don’t really see the point of a utility vac with narrow tubes that will easily get blocked.

    • @WJCTechyman
      @WJCTechyman 5 месяцев назад

      Well, if you can buy Shop-Vac brand or Ridgid (Emerson) brand machines, the 5 cm (2.5 inch as we know them in North America) hoses are often universal for those. They typically come with a bunch of couplings for different machines.

  • @WJCTechyman
    @WJCTechyman 5 месяцев назад

    I'm not sure if Nilfisk designed that machine, it has characteristics of an Emerson wet and dry vacuum. I mean, the filter's a bit different but the filter cage and lower motor/fan base looks very much like you would find on an Emerson (Ridgid, Workshop Vac, Craftsman, MasterCraft/Maximum, Hart etc.) machine. The difference I can see is the way the bag hooks to the machine as my Ridgid has the bag fitted to the intake that's on the drum itself, not unlike a Numatic Henry. Also, I don't know why people need the synthetic (plastic fibre thus bad for the environment) bags because these machines have the capability of fitting a HEPA cartridge filter inside the machine, if absolutely necessary. But people buy these vacuums for stuff you aren't really supposed to pick up with a household living area vacuum, including fine powders like talc, gypsum (plaster and drywall) dust, chalk, flour, etc. that can clog and kill household vacuums because they use the flow-through motor compared to utility and more premium vacuums (Kirby, Rainbow D4, E Series single speed and E2 twin speed, some central vacuums) using some kind of bypass cooling/peripheral or tangential discharge motors.
    The bag isn't unlike a Kirby bag where you push and twist. Interesting.
    Not just radiators, Roger, behind your fridge too, get down near the compressor and blow out the condenser coil. This is something people often don't realize or forget to do. I usually vacuum the condenser coil but I guess you could blow it.

    • @Indiskret1
      @Indiskret1 5 месяцев назад

      Maybe it's the other way around. Nilfisk sells a lot of stuff to other companies. One I know of is the reputable Stihl brand that buys their own branded pressure cleaners from Nilfisk, but then in their own colours and with some tweaks.

    Could you tell me, how to properly use this vacuum with wet stuff? Instrucion is really unintuitive, just a couple of pictures without a word. In the online instruction provided by nilfisk there is just one aditional sentence, mentioning to use wet filter. But is the default one, that comes with this vacuum a wet one? Do i have to take the filter out and dry it after wet cleaning?

    • @ibaisaic
      @ibaisaic  4 месяца назад +1

      I’m fairly sure I explain about the filter in the video. The white pleated filter should remain in place for wet and dry pick up. After using the machine for wet pick up, it is advisable to take it out of the machine and let it dry before using the cleaner for dry pick up or before storing it away. The bag should be used in conjunction with the filter for dry pick up.

    Is it more quiet than a comparable Kärcher?
    That ultimately decides the Kärcher vs. Nilfisk debate for me. People say the Nilfisks are more quiet.
    Also the price of dust bags is important you dont want to be paying double for dust bags because you chose one of the brands. I know these are meant to work without a dust bag but I found that these small wet dry vacs are just not up to the tank: The filter elements are too small and plug too easily and cleaning them out is a task I hate with every fiber in my being.
    At work we have fancy Hilti and Bosch vacuums with automatic filter cleaning those actually work very well bagless but these small vacs for private use.. not so much.

      Well it's meant to be simple and really cheap. And I think that for this purpose it's perfectly ok.
      I had Buddy ll 18 T which had socket for power tools. That thing didn't even have auto-start, that socket was there only as an extension for your power tools. But you still had to manually turn on and off the vacuum. 😆
      I have to say Buddies are ok for the price, but I still much much more prefer WD line from Kärcher, the cheaper models like WD2 or WD3 are just better in (not only) terms of build quality. And they also look way better than nilfisk buddy. Oh and also, Kärcher swivel wheels, it's almost like the vacuum's floating. :D

Usually it's either Ridgid or Shop-Vac brands or a variation of one of those brands under a house name. Home Depot sells mostly Ridgid and its parent company Emerson's names under its commercial "ProTeam" label. Canadian Tire sells mostly Shop-Vac brand machines but Emerson appears to make its MasterCraft and Maximum house brand machines. That said, we can get Numatic machines through independent vacuum and appliance stores as well as Ghibli.
