Direct air vacuums such a Kirby, Royal etc produce very high amounts of airflow and will deep clean carpets.
My question is.. Do the best clean air vacuums such as Miele, Sebo, Riccar and Aerus also produce enough airflow to deep clean carpets? In my humble opinion yes they do :) I'm not looking to cause another argument here just a friendly discussion :) | ||

This is just my opinion, but I think that the best clean air vacuums can deep clean very well. There is huge difference in clean air vacuums airflow performance even if they have the same size motor.
For example my weakest clean air vacuum has only 55 cfm with the 1100 watt motor (bagless), but one of my bagged clean air vacuums has a 108 cfm with the 1100 watt motor. Difference in airpath is huge between those. Weaker has a lot of sharp turns and pipes are small in diameter. Stronger has a very simple airpath with minimal amount of turns and pipes are bigger in diameter. My Kirby Gsix has 160 cfm from the motor and 121 cfm from the nozzle. My strongest clean air vacuum has 108 cfm from the hose end and about 70 - 80 cfm from the nozzle. Still I think that the best clean air vacuums can deep clean very well. | ||

In my humble opinion.
Machines that have both a high airflow and water lift clean the best. You mentioned a few good ones like Sebo,Miele, Aerus , lindhaus,etc . Personally I believe a machine that's are direct air doesn't have the water left it needs to pull the heavier things out of the carpet, likewise Bagless machines that don't have the air flow but have high water lift . So in conclusion that's why in Central Vacuums you see almost exclusively bypass motors used. #CentralVacpropaganda | ||

Good way to test if the vacuum has a good airflow AND suction is to use the turbo nozzle. It needs both the airflow and suction. Faster it spins the better.
Dirty air vacuums can't spin the turbo nozzle very fast because they don't have enough suction to force air through the small hole in the turbo brush. My best vacuums for this would be the Miele C3, Philips Performer Pro and Nilfisk GM80. Lux Royal is very close. My DC40 (1100 watts) is surprisingly weak, but so is the airflow. Suction in it is great, but because of the low airflow it's quite poor for using the turbo nozzle. | ||

I like the Tandem air. I have used a brilliance. It's agitates extremely well.
We will be getting the Supralite over here both corded and cordless so I'm looking forward to trying them out 😊 I don't think we will get the Tandem air because of the price. Not many people would pay $1000 for a cleaner here. Most pay between £100-£200 I'd say haha. | ||
