Having used a Lindhaus UK machine in a comemercial environment, with lots of deep pile carpet, I agree, their fugging brilliant! If I ever see one for easy money I'll get one! |

Reading this inspired me to get out my Lindhaus PN and try it on my new plush carpeting. Paired with my Electrolux, this is one fantastic power nozzle. It really grooms the fibers while being very gentle. In comparison, the PN6 I normally use seems to aggressively dig while mostly sweeping, but with the Lindhaus, you can feel it beat the carpet inches away! The Lindhaus also has a large center air path with chevron brushes, so it is designed with efficiency in mind.
I'm now curious to see how their uprights perform. Does anyone own a Healthcare or Valzer? |

They are pretty good vacuums overall i often compare them to Sebo they perform a little better than their sebo counterparts but are not as durable.
The healthcare pro is a nice machine pretty quiet not too heavy good height adjustment but it's stretch hose really cuts down airflow something about the interior of it really restricts flow so i replaced mine with the older style hose whcich increased the airflow. The strength of lindhaus is their power nozzles I once did a power nozzle test where my Lindhaus PB-14 performed the best. The activa line has poor airflow but the spiral shaped brush still allows it to pull up a decent amount of sand. My experience with the Aria is very limited but when hooked to the baird meter it pulled a 6.5 which makes it the most powerful powerhead canister i've measured yet. I have heard that they are not very user friendly, mostly due to the non swiveling hose but perform very well. |

When I got my hf6, I was told it was more powerful than the aria, I think they may have introduced a new model of the hf6 though. I also have the pb 14 pro power nozzle, it's a very good power nozzle, probably as good as the Sebo or Wessel Werk power nozzles. |

I'm not even sure when i took that measurement. I've owned 1 HF6 and it was a filthy machine which was clogged and needed bearings. It had looked like they used it without a bag. The pre motor filter crumbled at my touch. There was a layer of foam after the motor which was clogged to hell. So if i took the reading off that machine I'd say it wasn't a good indication of it's abilities. I did learn though this Thursday that Lindhaus balances it's motors using notches that are cut into the fans as well as a washer, if they are ever brought out of alignment the motor vibrates horribly. Which explains why i had more issues after replacing it's bearings.
They do still produce the HF6 i just saw a new model with an aria like hose and a power nozzle at a dealer. I wonder if they stayed with the 2 stage motor or moved to a single stage. |
