cfm may be low but vacuum force is probly unbelivible. its like HP and Torque in a cars engine you can have a 300hp car but it struggles to pull a trailer, then again you could have a 170hp and 500ftlb.torque truck have no issue pulling trailer. | ||

I was always told...
...CFM ("airflow") did all the work, not "suction" or negative PSI. That was everyone's reasoning behind using direct air machines over bypass vacuums.
I would say, for example, a vacuum pump capable of 1000 negative PSI but only like 10 CFM would make a very poor cleaner vs something like, say, a street sweeper capable of 1000 CFM but only like 10 negative PSI. Correct? Kirbys, Sanitaires, Royals, (even PIGS) etc. all have way greater CFM than their modern bypass counterparts, but pull less negative PSI, and yet most of us agree that the direct air vauums are superior than the bypass cleaners for vacuuming "POWER"! So I would think that the Clarke or Victor vac would need and produce a lot greater CFM than mentioned if it is such a rug ripping vacuum... | ||

A dissapointment- in that new Clarke vacuum-they replaced the metal fan with a glass reinforced nylon one-SHAME-The metal fan is better!What good is a metal fancase with a plastic fan?Kirby note this! | ||

Although I understand the principle of glass reinforcing things like that, all I can think of is spilled Redneck Diamonds.... :S
