Loudness its VERY quiet and smooth running, much more refined than a shop vac, smaller and lighter too. | ||

In the US the Numatic line of vacuums is often sold thru commercial vacuum and janitor supply places. | ||

I imagine the reason why the Numatics are expensive here is because of the 120-volt motor and North American cord and plug that must be installed. Not sure if these are installed in the UK, or at the Nacecare facility in Toronto, Canada. In any case, the proportion of vacs created for the North American market must be miniscule compared to the numbers created for 220volt Europe. So the added expenses and shipping and packaging are probably driving up the prices here. And because there are so few suppliers in the USA and Canada, these are marketed as special commercial machines. After all, we see no advertising for them, and you can’t even get them at Home Depot or Best Buy or even Costco.

straight suction It's great for a straight suction machine but those will never be able to clean carpet as well as a spinning brush, and the turbine brushes are always getting clogged or jammed. For cleaning carpet, you really need an electric motor driven brush roll. Mike | ||

Now everyone knows im a fool over straight suction, I DO occasionally use uprights and power nozzle machines, but to me, all they do is make the carpet look good, I can go behind ANY revolving brush machine and get sand and grit with a good straight suction nozzle! | ||

@kenkart ...and you can go behind any straight suction vacuum with a revolving brush and still capture dirt that was left behind by the previous vacuum. No vacuum is perfect. | ||

@kenkart I'm sure your house is perfectly clean! No vacuum (that I am aware of) will capture everything. I think both straight suction vacuums and those that agitate the carpet with a beater bar are both good. | ||

technique is important,
@Kenkart its always enjoyable hearing someone obtain a vac that they really or have always wanted ( or just a new addtion actually), thx for letting us enjoy it with you !!haha
@Kirbysthebest- what you said is SOOOO true!!!! vids on youtube almost always show the vacuumer moving the vac so fast....not much will prob be picked up. I know that b/c I've tested carpet with a Kirby dirtmeter going moving fast on the carpet....and going slow, no comparison. | ||
