Mike, it seemed to pick up well in your video. Good suction does help a great deal. I wonder if a beefier brush roll would retrofit? It sounds like the motor can handle it. |

Yes it picks up well, but the belt was a bit loose. I fitted the new Vorwerk ET 30 belt and now what a difference! No slowing down on the shag carpet. It has 150w motor so new brushroll wouldn't be a problem. |

Powerhead works excellent on the shag carpet! New belt and lower brushroll position now. |

Hepa filter would certainly improve the filtration. Aftermarket (genuine not available) fleece bags are quite thin so tiny bit of dust will escape to the bag compartment. That's why I have upgraded the pre motor filter. Original pre motor filter is very coarse and it allows dust to go to the motor. I measured the bag casing for the hepa filter and 96 x 157mm is the filter holder size for the hepa filter. Bosch/Siemens hepa filter is interesting option.

Maybe I should post pictures of these HEPA modding possibilities later when I have the time... |
