The diameter of the large flywheel at the top would seem to indicate that quite a bit of suction could have been made. However, the primitive design of the nozzle would have prevented significant power.

I can't fathom how much coordination it took to try and balance that on the floor, then hold it steady, and also crank the wheel all at the same time as trying to push it around.

I think from what I read, didn't all these burn up in the Great Chicago Fire? Only a few that were located outside of Chicago survived.
