Hi, I've always had the feeling that airflow is very important when it comes to carpet cleaning but, in my experience, the airflow produced by traditional upright cleaners (hoover convertibles, kirbies etc.), in general bypass motor with direct air systems, especially with fan very close to brushroll, is much more effective that higher suction produced by separate motors, with some exceptions of course. other opinions? tommy |

Of the relationship between airflow (CFM) and water lift (suction) in vacuum cleaners. They both are important and related. CLICK HERE TO GO TO compactelectra's LINK |

It's mostly for central vacs, but the principal exists for portables as well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO kirbysthebest's LINK |
