I remember that my mother had a Hoover Constellation which also used to float, surprised it's taken sooooooo long for this technology to come around again ;-)
One of the worst designs out there IMHO. The filter test should be done with the vacuum up on the table. ALL fine dust is thrown back into the air, no matter how good the filter is. Even those back blowers are a mess, I know because I have black furniture... After I vacuum with a vacuum that has the rear exhaust the furniture is incredibly dusty. BTW, 97% of my living space is hard floor.
@@Woot-Zee you realize that people use millions of dollars to test these in a facility that has evidence that they don't throw dust right? Also I don't know what kind of vacumm you are using but good luck having a Asma attack
@@eli-we3mr Before trying to insult, try to think a little. I was not saying that the filter is bad. I was saying that the exhaust will scatter the fine dust on the ground like hell. I don't have health problems, but maybe others have and it is a serious issue. If the exhaust scatters coffee on the carpet, just imagine what happens with smaller and lighter particles. I would love to see how much, in a test done here by Vacuum Wars, because I think it is an important matter. :) And last: If you trust those companies that are spending "millions of dollars" to test the product, why are you here looking at a product review done by a third party? Isn't their word enough?
@@Woot-Zeeas the video mentioned, he suggested getting a HEPA filter for it. Air is not dust less, with a HEPA filter and good vacuum, cleaner air comes out of the vacuum.
Just bought this thanks to you. Stair tool, power head and POWER won my money over our intended Miele CX1. Look forward to receiving it. Great channel sir!
@Vacuum Wars - Just took delivery and the company was so pleasant and even included two 6 packs of the silver bags. The vacuuming is amazing on wood and carpet- and the stiff brush roller is crazy good. Too powerful for small (30"x48") area rugs with the roller (and sometimes suction) and the demo bag is neatto A/B against your old vacuum but a bit messy.
I’d say that since none of the other machines used on the sample carpet scored in the top tier, the Zero G picked up everything that the others left behind and the excess carpet fluff that the others never got out of the sample carpet in the first place. I’m a clean freak and every piece of my furniture is moved every month aside from daily vacuumings. I’m a fan of canister vacuums but I like to keep a canister and an upright on each floor. On a daily basis I run an upright in my rugs and a lightweight canister (Eureka Mighty Mite) on my floors. Weekly I use a full sized canister to vacuum under furniture and into the corners in every room and move the furniture in about a third of the house rotating which section of the house where the furniture is moved throughout the month. For these duties having a canister is the most flexible way to clean the rooms from corner to corner and ceiling to floor. Having a clean air upright with attachments somehow never seams to do it as well. Uprights are easier on a daily basis and quicker to finish day to day chores.
I agree, am not a fan of canisters as they require too much fiddling to get other jobs done, The liftaways are a great solution to this, I just wish they were made as well as the top canisters.
The Zero G vacuum looks pretty interesting to me. It kind of looks like a cross between a Tristar and a Hoover Constellation. The only think I find weird about it, it that the suction relief holes look like an unused spot for an LED headlight (and they could've totally put one there).
As some have already pointed out. The cushion of air, feature was originally Hoovers. The Constellation was first (1953-1973), followed by the Air Ride Celebrity (1974-1983ish). The Celebrity would be an excellent contender for this canister! Tons of power, and I dare say, lighter and easier to use too!
I had a heavy older canister vacuum and an upright, which really didn’t work well anymore because of clogged filters that were no longer sold… I wanted to ditch the weight and get some type of vacuum that was simple to operate and light to move around. I believe the body of the Zero G vacuum weighs 9 pounds and is very easy to transport, and it’s about the best deep cleaning vacuum that I’ve ever owned. Unlike the Hoover Constellation, however, this vacuum comes not only with bare floor attachments but with a very sophisticated and well-designed motorized cleaning head. Since I have horrible allergies, I needed excellent filtration as well, and this vacuum doesn’t disappoint. It has HEPA bags and also a substantial filter, which is changed out with every new pack of vacuum bags. It’s very simple to maintain, no dirty hands, and no digging around in the dust to maintain everything. The flotation of the vacuum just makes it very easy to move around over all surfaces, without getting hung up with wheels and corners and other obstacles. There’s nothing like a canister vacuum because of its availability to clean absolutely everything everywhere, and it even makes an excellent car vacuum as well! I’ve had this vacuum for two years, and yes I would buy it all over again!
I've asked for audio before. It's a waste of keystrokes. He's got some strange issue with that request. I suppose if enough ppl get onboard with it we might be able to get at least a one time audio clip but doubtful it would become a regular part of his videos.
In some reviews he does include a sound test(but doesn't show any audio, just the results). I think that when he doesn't include the audio test it means that it was average => not being a pro or a con
Some ways you can reset test carpets or rugs is by taking a super stiff brushrolled vacuum (Bissell Powerlifter brushrolls come to mind as well as a Sanitaire with a Vibragroomer 1 with only beater bars), flip the carpet over so you're the. pad side up, and then vibrate the carpet. You'll vibrate the stuck in dirt out and through the fibers to where you can either vacuum it free or sweep it up.
Wow, that's a lot of pro's. Wish you had measured the sound output. What's your subjective opinion of the noise level? I have to wonder if those > 100% tests might be at least partially caused by an aggressive brush roll tearing up carpet fiber. It always shocks me how much stuff even my little cordless vacs pick up off a floor that looks clean.
Wow I had no idea this thing was that good on carpet that is really impressive. I always thought the floating base was just a gimmick but I see it's actually a useful feature which is nice. Expensive vacuum yes, but not compared to other premium canister vacs like a sebo or miele, in that regard this one is actually very well priced. Not that I can afford to drop that much on a vacuum anytime soon lol but still, this machine actually really impressed me because I was not expecting it to do so well not coming from a well known vac brand that's been in the industry forever. Looking forward to more canister vac videos! You should test the eureka mighty mite I was thinking about getting one as a supplement for hard floor and upholstery only since it will do poorly on carpet presumably because of the lack of a power head.
You should definitely test the Vorwerk Kobold VK150 or VK200, I have the VK150 and I’m telling you I have never had a vacuum that has performed better! 🙌🏼 Love these videos! Anytime anyone asks me about a particular vacuum they want to buy I come here and watch the video and then send them the link and give them the “dumber” version of what you say so they can understand😊
Seems like something you'd see in the 50s. Makes me wonder as well how much suction power is lost due to allowing it to float? If they made a second model reworked with wheels so the motor is simply for suction (I can only assume the same motor for suction is used to levitate it as well) would allow the suction to be much greater. I don't know if simply blocking the bottom port would allow better suction, probably would need a big rework with the mold. If its 2 separate motors then that's fine, however the noise has to be pretty loud!
@@gregsullivan7408 I agree, Greg. A lot of vac shop owners & other people on forums like Reddit who recommend bagged vacuums over bagless vacuums, claiming bagless vacuums are horrible, seem to forget one thing - Bagless was invented FOR A REASON! Back in the mid 90's when Fantom & other bagless brands started to be introduced & become popular, paper microfiltration bags were the best bags you could get for most new vacuums, HEPA Cloth bags didn't come out until the early 2000's. Even then, bagged vacuums still have one HUGE problem - the pores of the bag become clogged prematurely with dust & dirt. The only way you can get around it is take the bag out, take it outside, give it a good vigorous shake to dislodge the dust from the walls of the bag, then reinstall & keep on vacuuming. This is EXACTLY why bagless vacuums were invented - constant suction & airflow as long as you keep the pre-motor filter clean or you clean the pleated HEPA filter in the bin on lower end models. The ONLY bagged vacuums that have come close to inventing a bag that doesn't lose suction & airflow until they are nearly full is Miele. Their 9 layer HEPA Cloth AirClean bags are the only ones presently on the market that maintain their suction & airflow better than others; the bag material itself captures the dust & dirt in 9 different layers of material, so while it doesn't get clogged completely with dust & dirt, it resists it much longer than other paper microfiltration bags or HEPA Cloth bags. The only other ways to get a vacuum that maintains constant airflow & suction is to buy a Rainbow water filtration vacuum which uses water instead of cyclones or filters in the bin to trap & hold the dust, or buy a Kirby & use their HEPA Cloth bags, as direct air "fan first" vacuums with HEPA Cloth bags maintain their power better than clean air bagged canisters & uprights.
@VacuumWars does this machine clean carpet better than the Kirby Avalir 2? If it does, I’m buying one ASAP. However, the flour under carpet testing of the Kirby proved that it removed nearly all of it, if not all of it. So it would be hard to determine if it does clean better but even if it comes close to it, I would buy the ZeroG. Especially for my mom. She loves canisters but hates how the weight of her Rainbow hurts her back and it gets caught on corners. Also hates how short the hose is but if this floats it probably won’t feel like a problem at all.
I've wondered with these vacuums that score higher than 100%, is it possible their agitation is so powerful they are tearing the fibers in the carpet and sucking those up?
That could very well be, it may be damaging the actual carpet fibers, there is this thing called a good thing over done is too much. Sucking the life out of your carpet isn't wise.
@@hannahanderson4305 Maybe, then again, it may be picking up test material that was left previously. Unless new carpet is used each time, we may not know for sure
Is your air quality test permanently replacing the smoke machine leakage test? I liked the smoke machine as a visual, but also to see how much fine material the filters removed.
Smoke is a relatively large size particle. The HEPA 13 bag material should filter it. The patented SilverMicron Technology is the only one in the world that will Inhibit the Growth of over 800 Germs, Mold and Bacteria at up to 99.0% for the air you breath as it passes through the media.
Barry Schwartz, “growth as it passes through the media”??? That sounds like pure marketing to me. Nothing is going to grow as it’s passing through the filter, and if it’s getting through the filter then I want a better filter, lol.
That is REALLY cool. Im going to need to try to get one in my store. How much does the vacuum itself weigh though. The only numbers i can find is the weight of the whole box including the power nozzle at a whopping 28 pounds.
Hello Vacuum Wars I’ve been thinking about buying this vacuum cleaner called the Quantum x which is a type of upright vacuum cleaner but it’s the only upright vacuum cleaner with water filtration technology. So if I buy a quantum x vacuum cleaner would there be a way for me to send you my quantum x vacuum cleaner if I buy one for you and maybe me to review or just you to review it for yourself then you can send it back to me after you review it?
The Miele C3 with a SEB236 powerhead would be a better carpet cleaner than the ZeroG. The 9 ply HEPA Cloth AirClean bags are superior in quality & maintaining airflow to the ZeroG's HEPA Cloth bags, & Miele also has a MUCH BETTER filtration system for allergy sufferers. Otherwise the suction waterlift & airflow & how well the powerhead grooms on both vacuums is comparable.
It’s not about how much power it has. It’s about what it does with the power. If a smaller motored vacuum can out clean larger motored vacuums I consider it to be more powerful in an efficiency way
Kirby is a 100 year old vacuum design. The dirt / microscopic particles go to the motor & fan first. There is NO DUST PROTECTION THERE AT ALL. So, what you pick up gets out. Yet, Kirby is sold door to door for over $1,000 dollars.Spend your money wisely.
Really interesting video on an unusual machine. Thanks very much. I’m not sure it has enough to replace my Dyson DC 54 however if I didn’t have the Dyson I would certainly be looking at this.
That's mind blowing! It's ugly as f* but totally fascinating too. The Zero G is an exercise is how to make a canister vacuum the opposite of a Miele in every way.
I’m in the process of trying to get one shipped to me in the uk I emailed back with my address so they could give me postage quote but not heard back from them. I’m so desperate to get one of these over here in the uk. I would make it my very first proper review. If your reading this zero g please email me back with the postage quote to the uk. ( I’m the person with the 110 volt circuit in my house )
If it can float with 15lbs books It could run on aa 60 volt 14AH lifepo4 battery and CUT THE CORD..LOL Please test Kenmore Canisters Like POP and GO, elite with indusher motor.
If you get one, consider a Miele. You can set boundaries for them to stay in. Robot vacuums are more like brooms instead of vacuums when it comes to removing dirt and debrees. They will only clean the very top layer. I suppose they are okay for maintaining already-clean floors but they don't do a whole lot. In other words people pay for the technology, not the performance with robo vacs. It's basically like buying a $600-$1,000 broom in terms of results.
Although this vaccume is very great.I still hate it. I own one but after some time, the hoovering feature just broke. The entire vaccume started to fall apart. The handle cracked, the brushroll got all messed up to
What an utterly stupid idea. The air blowing from the underside will blow dirt and dust all over the place, back onto the spot you've just vacuumed. Sigh..
One of the worst designs out there IMHO. The filter test should be done with the vacuum up on the table. ALL fine dust is thrown back into the air, no matter how good the filter is. Even those back blowers are a mess, I know because I have black furniture... After I vacuum with a vacuum that has the rear exhaust the furniture is incredibly dusty. BTW, 97% of my living space is hard floor. Nonetheless, the review is spot on, as I am used with this channel! :D
Sounds like you would benefit from a vacuum with a sealed HEPA system, I ve had similar issues for years with dust just flying out. Now, we proudly own a Miele, and I dont think I would ever switch, unless it's for a Henry, because let face it, he performs very well, and is just adorable!
@@plainlybasic2300 I have the Miele S8 too. (the old 2200w model version) :) You are right, I really like it. Especially that the blower is oriented up. As a robot vacuum, I own a Roborock S50. I would love to see that quality of a robot vacuum with a bigger bin, bigger brush(AKA, Neato D7) and the blower oriented up (Philips). :D i.imgur.com/nnWwOZY.jpg (That Twister XL brush is amazing too) Healthwise: I had somebody in my family who was highly allergic to dust. I am willing to bet that this vacuum would have been a great problem/pain for her... maybe @vacuum wars is willing to count the particles on the floor too, because it may help others to stay away from these kinds of models.
First off these are great vacuums. They are well made and work great. Now why you shouldn't buy one. The price has ballooned to $799 as of 9/24/22. Up from $500 when they came out 4 years ago. They are probably a victim of inflation and rising costs like everyone else. The geat performance value they once were is now gone. They are now directly competeing with the brand name German made vacuums like Miele and Sebo. A Sebo K3 with the ET-1 power nozzle is about the same price and a better machine long term. Other reasons not to buy would be no cord rewind at this price is a joke. The other big one is that Zero G is a very small company. They have been going out of stock on a regular basis for long periods of time. They may not be around in a 5 years when you need parts or bags. Then you are stuck with it and at $799 its not worth the risk.
I’m convinced you have something against this particular vacuum as I’ve seen your exact comment on just about every video on RUclips about the Zero G. The price is currently $679 and they are almost always offering some kind of promo code for $100 off for almost all holiday’s or special occasions. When you include all it comes with it’s still the best bang for your buck for a high end machine. The equivalent Miele, Sebo, Kirby or Rainbow with all the same parts are gone to run you well over $1000 brand new. I don’t consider Dyson, Shark or most of the other machines you can walk into Target or Walmart to buy high end so you can’t even compare it to them and even if you do it works circles around them. The lack of a cord rewind I find to be very much a non issue. It’s been over a year since your comment and they are still round and selling the vacuum and supplying bags.
I remember that my mother had a Hoover Constellation which also used to float, surprised it's taken sooooooo long for this technology to come around again ;-)

So if I buy a quantum x vacuum cleaner would there be a way for me to send you my quantum x vacuum cleaner if I buy one for you and maybe me to review or just you to review it for yourself then you can send it back to me after you review it?
Vacuuming hurts my back. I wonder if the Zero G would work well for me.
Would you say this is a better carpet cleaner than a Miele C3 with the 236 power head?
The Miele C3 with a SEB236 powerhead would be a better carpet cleaner than the ZeroG. The 9 ply HEPA Cloth AirClean bags are superior in quality & maintaining airflow to the ZeroG's HEPA Cloth bags, & Miele also has a MUCH BETTER filtration system for allergy sufferers. Otherwise the suction waterlift & airflow & how well the powerhead grooms on both vacuums is comparable.
This is true.
Can you test the Maktia 18v lithium ion cordless vacuum?
Reminds me of a Hoover constellation
Bissell Featherweight On/Off Button On Zero G Vacuum?
Cool vacuum
Were those legal textbooks?
Buy a Kirby Tradition, it does REALLY well at deep cleaning carpets
That has 1/3 the power
Still great airflow
It’s not about how much power it has. It’s about what it does with the power. If a smaller motored vacuum can out clean larger motored vacuums I consider it to be more powerful in an efficiency way
Kirby is a 100 year old vacuum design. The dirt / microscopic particles go to the motor & fan first. There is NO DUST PROTECTION THERE AT ALL. So, what you pick up gets out. Yet, Kirby is sold door to door for over $1,000 dollars.Spend your money wisely.
Yet somehow these Kirby motors last easily 10x more then many bypass vacuums especially bagless sooo not sure what your point is
Can you test the navigator zero m on the deep clean test?
Great concept, but its non-retractable cord and sub-par appearance puts me off somewhat.
This is made in USA?
Really interesting video on an unusual machine. Thanks very much. I’m not sure it has enough to replace my Dyson DC 54 however if I didn’t have the Dyson I would certainly be looking at this.
I'm curious see how loud it is and the airwattage it can produce? ,🤔
Could be ok as the sound is directed to the floor
What’s next after zero g floating vacuum?
No Fog Test..!?!
Is it sealed or not?
Does it leak fine dust?
Phooey...
i have a old 1958 hoover constellation and it floats on air to
Good use of old law school books.
Oh god it hurt me to see you handling the scale like that. You shouldn't press on the weighing surface at all--it'll make it super inaccurate fast.
Good input. Thank you.
What's next on commercial upright vacuums
The Hoover hushtone but it will be a few weeks.
loudness?
That's mind blowing! It's ugly as f* but totally fascinating too. The Zero G is an exercise is how to make a canister vacuum the opposite of a Miele in every way.
Compare this vacuum with Henry
I wish I had an excuse to buy this thing.
Quantum x vacuum cleaner review
I’m in the process of trying to get one shipped to me in the uk I emailed back with my address so they could give me postage quote but not heard back from them. I’m so desperate to get one of these over here in the uk. I would make it my very first proper review. If your reading this zero g please email me back with the postage quote to the uk. ( I’m the person with the 110 volt circuit in my house )
Dave Debang-bang How did you get a 110 volt circuit? Step down transformer? Have you got a three phase incoming supply?
If it can float with 15lbs books It could run on aa 60 volt 14AH lifepo4 battery and CUT THE CORD..LOL
Please test Kenmore Canisters Like POP and GO, elite with indusher motor.
impressive but pricey. i'm fine with canisters on wheels though it can topple over.
That is a cool vacuum I wish I can get one like that for free money is tight I've never seen a vacuum cleaner like that or on these parts
I have wood floors will it scratch my floors
How when it's floating on air above the floor?
It looks like a 90's computer
How does it float?
That_One_Sax exhaust air blows directly down from the base, causing a hovercraft / air cushion effect.
Compare to Miele c3!
wish it had height adjustment
That is cool
show stopper: proprietary bags.
Measure sound, and power consumption.
edit: Nevermind, anyone who pays $650 for a vacuum, doesn't care about power consumption.
Must be nice...
same thoughts. i went to amazon to find out. max 10 amps on the cable, 1200 watts.
Hair??
$638 on Amazon? No thanks, I think my next vacuum will be a programmable robot model.
Those are crap!
@@vacuumboy6.0 Really? I've never had one but my son and his wife are very happy with theirs. Maybe it comes down to a matter of expectations.
On sale at the vendors web site for $499.99
@@barryschwartz9553 Still a lot of money for virtually plastic and a bit of metal.
If you get one, consider a Miele. You can set boundaries for them to stay in. Robot vacuums are more like brooms instead of vacuums when it comes to removing dirt and debrees. They will only clean the very top layer. I suppose they are okay for maintaining already-clean floors but they don't do a whole lot. In other words people pay for the technology, not the performance with robo vacs. It's basically like buying a $600-$1,000 broom in terms of results.
Although this vaccume is very great.I still hate it. I own one but after some time, the hoovering feature just broke. The entire vaccume started to fall apart. The handle cracked, the brushroll got all messed up to
The vacuum has a 30 day money back guarantee. However, just contact the vendor via their web site and they will send you a new one.
Hoover did it first
What an utterly stupid idea. The air blowing from the underside will blow dirt and dust all over the place, back onto the spot you've just vacuumed.
Sigh..
Tony Churcher well the design came from the Hoover constellation which came out in the 50s soo, you can blame them
First?
You got it again, sorry for the delay. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
@@VacuumWars all good as long as I got it
@@VacuumWars can you test a hoover windtunnel Max bagged upright i wanna know how good they are
12th comment
One of the worst designs out there IMHO. The filter test should be done with the vacuum up on the table. ALL fine dust is thrown back into the air, no matter how good the filter is.
Even those back blowers are a mess, I know because I have black furniture... After I vacuum with a vacuum that has the rear exhaust the furniture is incredibly dusty.
BTW, 97% of my living space is hard floor.
Nonetheless, the review is spot on, as I am used with this channel! :D
Sounds like you would benefit from a vacuum with a sealed HEPA system, I ve had similar issues for years with dust just flying out. Now, we proudly own a Miele, and I dont think I would ever switch, unless it's for a Henry, because let face it, he performs very well, and is just adorable!
@@plainlybasic2300 I have the Miele S8 too. (the old 2200w model version) :)
You are right, I really like it. Especially that the blower is oriented up.
As a robot vacuum, I own a Roborock S50.
I would love to see that quality of a robot vacuum with a bigger bin, bigger brush(AKA, Neato D7) and the blower oriented up (Philips). :D

(That Twister XL brush is amazing too)
Healthwise: I had somebody in my family who was highly allergic to dust. I am willing to bet that this vacuum would have been a great problem/pain for her...
maybe @vacuum wars is willing to count the particles on the floor too, because it may help others to stay away from these kinds of models.
First off these are great vacuums. They are well made and work great. Now why you shouldn't buy one. The price has ballooned to $799 as of 9/24/22. Up from $500 when they came out 4 years ago. They are probably a victim of inflation and rising costs like everyone else. The geat performance value they once were is now gone. They are now directly competeing with the brand name German made vacuums like Miele and Sebo. A Sebo K3 with the ET-1 power nozzle is about the same price and a better machine long term. Other reasons not to buy would be no cord rewind at this price is a joke. The other big one is that Zero G is a very small company. They have been going out of stock on a regular basis for long periods of time. They may not be around in a 5 years when you need parts or bags. Then you are stuck with it and at $799 its not worth the risk.
I’m convinced you have something against this particular vacuum as I’ve seen your exact comment on just about every video on RUclips about the Zero G. The price is currently $679 and they are almost always offering some kind of promo code for $100 off for almost all holiday’s or special occasions. When you include all it comes with it’s still the best bang for your buck for a high end machine. The equivalent Miele, Sebo, Kirby or Rainbow with all the same parts are gone to run you well over $1000 brand new. I don’t consider Dyson, Shark or most of the other machines you can walk into Target or Walmart to buy high end so you can’t even compare it to them and even if you do it works circles around them. The lack of a cord rewind I find to be very much a non issue. It’s been over a year since your comment and they are still round and selling the vacuum and supplying bags.

man this thing is ugly

So close. 🎖
