Well I've done it again and acquired another impractical machine 🤣. I figured it would be a fun little addition.

Sure
I'll try to use it a bit more over the next few days run some visible debris tests and get back to you.
So far, it's a little on the loud side but not overly loud. It's got a height adjustment system that reminds me of like a royal. one pedal to raise the nozzle another to lower it. Despite it's size it only weighs like 55 lbs I think that's what the fedex guy told me it weighed. It has a brush strip behind the brushroll which is meant to prevent the scattering of debris it's on a sliding plate so it adjusts to the surface. The filtration I know won't be stellar the bag tube is connected to the exhaust horn via a piece of 2" vacuum hose which has no seals on it. I was hoping to be able to store this a little bit better via flipping it up or on it's side but I'm not too sure I should do that. The plastic is pretty thick but it does flex. I'd think with it's large metal fan it'd be able to take a lot of impact but still I'd be cautious of metallic objects | ||

One vacuum many names
Yeah I knew it was made by someone else I THINK mastercraft is the one making them but I'm not entirely sure. They've been sold under various names and brands, As you've mentioned Oreck (comvac) Kirby (Comvac various widths) Powr Flite there's also a similarly designed Sanitaire which has a slightly different switch setup as well as different cloth bag. There was also a somewhat similarly designed Windsor called the maximatic.

Windsor’s is different. Theirs isn’t as wide and the fan placement isn’t quite the same. It’s a shame about the Windsor and Karcher merger. The drop in quality is already showing in the new Sensor uprights. | ||

oh those!
We've got one of those at work they're actually a triple motor, 2 suction motors and a brushroll motor. The main switch turns the suction motors and the brushroll switch, which the brushroll only runs when you hold down. makes it convenient for hard floor spaces too. They seem to work pretty well the airpath is very wide and there are quite a few rows of bristles which seem stiffer than the brushes on this bissell. Then you have the wand, the power through it isn't particularly great but it's nice to have.
I thought what you were talking about was a direct air unit with two motors. | ||

just to clarify
I was talking about the carpetreiver
As for the dayton ones those appear to be a dual motor (1 suction 1 brushroll) and i've seen a similar design come through the shop which I think was green. It used a round belt and wasn't very impressive IMO. They also brought in an Oreck Comvac which didn't run and none of us could figure out why the cord switch and carbon brushes were all fine

Holy!
You're using one of those carpetwins? Those things are absurdly heavy it'd probably be quicker and easier just to use a lighter machine LOL.
Yeah I can't say for sure what caused the damaged piece but I think if it had been broken in use it would have fallen out. it was just held in it's spot by the bumper the whole machine was shrink wrapped so I think it was just shipping damage, but it's very minor and a little super glue fixed it. | ||
