"Disgustingly rich." Oh boy, this brings me back to a job I had years ago. I used to work for an exceptionally affluent family that lived in a generational commune. Hidden deep within a several hundred acre property was a line of multimillion dollar homes beside their own private lake. Picture the nicest house you've ever seen. These were homes straight out of a real estate magazine. The nicest house on the lot was three stories with an attached two story guest house. Each had a three car garage. They had their own custom in-ground pool with a built in waterfall and hot tub. Their basement had an in-door basketball court, full service gym and an additional hot tub. The interior had polished marble on every floor and the decor was exclusively items worth my entire annual salary or more, per item. They had multiple boats, luxury cars; anything they could have ever wanted. All of the homes on the lot were of similar caliber. These were not their only homes. What's my point? They never used any of it. They never left their homes to enjoy their property. They never used their pools, their sports courts, their boats. They had an army of contractors and servants tending to them constantly. These people didn't have to do anything for themselves. I cannot comprehend how you can have such immense wealth, and yet you don't even indulge in the things you've invested in. Such a waste.

On the subject of service calls, I'm an HVAC tech. A rather alarmingly common call I get is not unlike Mike and the full bag. Customer tells me the heat or air conditioning doesn't work. I show up and look at the furnace/AC and immediately check the air filter. Date says it hasn't been changed in almost 3 years. I see the evaporator coil is completely frozen over or the furnace is flashing the lockout code for an overheat, and then I ask the homeowner how long it's been since they changed the filter (or had one of the outfits come by). More often than not they hit me with "Oh I didn't know it had a filter." and at that point I am reassured that I'm never going to be out of a job. I still tell them how long their filters should last and what will happen if they don't change them, but it is ultimately a Sisyphean task

The description of the water vac sounds like it wasn't meant to be used as a vacuum, but a CARPET CLEANER. We have a carpet cleaner that matches that description. It's primarily meant to be used for small-ish spots, like if somebody threw up on the floor.

[@rileygladue3979]

A rainbow vacuum uses the water as the method of capturing the vacuumed stuff after it's vacuumed whereas a carpet cleaner shoots out water and cleaner and sucks it up immediately

It doesn't use the water to clean, but to capture sucked up dirt. Still they're better for regular vacuuming on carpet, with the cleaner only being used when needed.

[@redacted2814]

I have a Rainbow vac (just checked google and the specific model I have is the Rainbow D4C). As gross as it gets to clean, and how bad it is to carry around when it's filled (it's surprisingly heavy when filled with water), it is objectively the best vacuum cleaner I own, and it was a hand-me-down from my parents when they first owned it. It has lasted 35+ years (it is legitimately older than me), still going strong, and works better than any vacuum cleaner I have tried to purchase since to find as a suitable replacement. I personally have never had any issues when carrying it around when it was filled with water, but I also never tried to lug it up or down a whole flight of stairs without at least partially disassembling it. It separates onto 2 distinct parts, so it's super easy to disassemble and carry the top by holding the handle and bottom of the tub in one hand with the other hand used entirely on holding the tub. As for cleaning it, I just dump all the stuff into the toilet, refill the tub partially because a ton of gunk *always* gets snagged around the water level post in the middle, and then swirl it around and dump the rest out into the toilet.

[@sokumotanaka9271]

A wall vac sounds incredibly inefficient in comparison to a regular Vacuum.

@@johnyounoe6219Some central vac units have multiple motors. They can be pretty powerful, while not requiring you to lug around a massive piece of equipment or go deaf being next to it. That’s a major advantage of that kind of system.

[@draconblade]

The one house my parents that came with one installed was awesome. Imagine the portability of a stick vacuum, but with no battery issues, more suction, and way less emptying.

[@evanbradley6169]

I guess I could see it being handy if you're old and/or disabled and live alone. You'd only have to carry a plug-in hose from room to room instead of the entire vacuum cleaner. It'd also be able to accept a *much* bigger receptacle for what you suck up, so you don't have to empty it as often (meaning that a family member or caretaker can empty it for you every once in a while, without you having to pay a cleaner for the entire time it takes to clean your home)

[@DeepPlane]

My parents have a central vacuum, and to my knowledge, it pipes out to 3 places. The old hose could reach each room pretty well, but after the handle got dropped a few times too many, we had to get a new hose as we couldn't get parts to fix the broken switch. New hose is even longer than the old one so now we could vacuum the stairs from either the first or second floor. Other than that we've got what I can only guess is a late 80s or maybe early 90s craftsman dry/wet shop vac. They don't make the dry filter anymore, and we have had no luck finding aftermarket filters, so what we've been having to do is each time we empty the vacuum, we also use the central vacuum to vacuum the craftsman filter so we can keep using it.

And I nod and clock in go. Fast forward to my arrival, and I see, for the first time in my life, a true blue McMansion. A basement, 3 story main building, a separate two story "pool house" and a 2 story garage with direct lake access.

Honestly how Mike felt about his Wallvac job is how I felt about the oilfield. I loved the work itself, it was simple and easy. I got paid for 15 hours a day, and only worked usually about an hour at a time with a 1-2 hour break period between. There were days where it sucked and I was busting my ass, but most of the time I just got paid to hang out with some cool people on my crew and play with explosives. When it sucked and the reason I got out was because the people on other crews were insufferable. Nobody on the other crews wanted to do maintenance so we had to do it all. Nobody wanted to set up locations properly so we had to move everything. When we tried to joke with them about anything they cried to management. I got so tired of dealing with them that I had to leave.

I worked for an equipment rental company, we had a little bit of everything from plumbing to landscaping, contrete and construction equipment. Some of the most annoying things to send out were floor scrubbers and vacuumes. We'd always tell people to sweep the floor BEFORE using the floor scrubbers because the vacuum isn't made to pick up more than like dirt, pebbles, flakes, small stuff. Constantly got calls about sucking issues and I'd find like mesh webbing, giant floor tile chunks and hardware stuck in the tube. Not to mention NO ONE ever cleans the tank out before they return it and I have to spend up to two hours physcially scraping and washing the solid mass out. And then with concrete vacs people seem to think it just magics the dust away and complain "This piece of junk don't suck for s#!% after like 5 hours!!!" and I have to tell them "YEAH BECAUSE IT'S FILLED TO THE LITERAL BRIM" I've had many cases of that and they just look at me and are like "Oh, lol, had no idea you had to empty these things ^w^" and then they wonder why there's a cleaning fee on their bill.

I love these story time scenes so much. The idle animations make it look like they're actually conversing lol. Also, yeah, wealthy people are ridiculous when it comes to spending money

[@JohnnySilverhand-wd3rz]

Love these videos used to watch them a lot the gun range and military story's are pretty entertaining 🔥🔥

[@jakel2837]

Owning a plane is indeed expensive. The heavy regulation means it needs regular maintenance and inspections that can only be done by certified mechanics. They arent cheap either. Also depending on the type of plane, fuel is crazy expensive.

[@johnbacon4997]

Yes but I would rather own a plane than a boat. You can fly (nearly) anywhere taking into account flight restrictions.In terms of money the US is the cheapest place to get your PPL (privates pilots license) but it is still 15k USD

[@sp1k3_38]

I love this channel 😭😭

[@awsomesaucekirby]

Dad was construction, so we always had access to a shopvac. *those things are great* They can vacuum anything, even light flooding.

[@thehittite6982]

My dad put his own wall vac in his wood shop. It was just one room and aesthetics weren't an issue so he just screwed the pipes to the wall and hooked an ordinary shop vac to it. Worked great for what it was for.

I had job working as Fry cook I had co workers who smoked weed in the freezer and management only did something about when they would get in trouble and would say you have to call in for your shift and find your own replacement so if you work a 5am you would have to find someone at 3am(who is gunna answer their phone a 3am. No one!) As well as have the cooks clean the bath room and afterwards get back to cooking afterwards.

[@brycesowers4894]

I absolutely love y’all’s videos. I haven’t been able to watch many recently just cause it’s fallout 4 and London and I’m currently on a huge modded fallout 4 run and don’t want spoilers for it or London. Absolutely love the videos

[@Drakev9y]

Canadian here, I work maintenance in a hospital and this is the only place I have ever heard of or seen a wall vacuum. Here its a piece of equipment for the ORs to suck up human spaghetti during surgery.

[@elitecompany51]

I have such pipes to show you, and the pvc Pinhead picture were comedy gold

[@viktorbane95]

Hey Zach. The pipes joke was phenomenal. Choked on my food man

[@jamessabins887]

I had a walvac growing up. All through the house and the floor ones against the walls too. Only in our kitchen had the floor ones - very great, just sweep it to the slot, kick it open and it's clean

[@ahistoric_gamer9716]

Okay knowing that Zach loves Time Crisis, my respect for him has gone through the ceiling cap that I already had 🤣

[@NoBandwidth-0]

We had a lot of vacuum cleaners too. The first one we had when my grandma moved to our current house in 1999, it was an old Kirby vacuum from the 80's, and it was an okay vacuum. Next vacuum we had was a Dirt Devil, and that one was a bastard to clean out. Now, we have a Dyson, and it's the best one we've had.

[@killzone014]

Canadian here: I have only seen the wall hose vaccoum system in one or two houses, we still mostly use typical vacoum cleaners. Also roombas.

[@jakekneega7400]

"All Time Crisis consoles" Ahh, a man of culture!

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

Today I learned that walvacs are apparently a thing. Never even heard of anything close to that concept.

[@blight1885]

19:00 man I didn't know that...

[@Bad_Company]

I mean he sounded like a decent or reasonable person for a boss.

[@abedekok322]

I have feeling Mike would enjoy watching Scuffed Realtor with his experiences working in all sorts of houses

[@hallofguns8174]

I love the alias Jack Dangerous! That made me cackle like a madman.

[@obsidianblack7249]

I know a game you can play with a roomba, just attach a taser to it, put a blindfold on and see how long you can last before being tazed. It's fun with friends.

[@a.gravemistake3061]

When I was eight, my family had me crawl behind a console stereo to get something that fell down. This thing was old- so old that there was a bare patch of wire on power cord. That I stepped on. Getting a good shock is something you won't forget at any age.

[@noahtackett6264]

Yeah my dad installed a walvac in one of the houses meant for an industrial space bigger than our house. You had the wall socket for it and you had to plug it in. It worked great mostly if you turned it on the strongest setting

[@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it]

I would love to see these guys on Vet TV being reoccurring characters that always get caught slacking off having conversations like these.

[@Kaji5814]

I’ve literally never had any problems or risks with a rainbow vacuum. I guess Zach just has all the bad luck. 😆

[@Ribbons0121R121]

that story about the wallvac job hits harder because i have a similar kind of boss at my job in a cabinet shop only one heart attack though

[@GalenLeRaaz]

That 12 bedroom, 2 SPAs, 2 arcades sounds like an awesome AirBnB. The owners have a good idea about their business.

[@vacuumcleanerwithagun]

My understanding is that during ww2 rainbow vac was the only vacuum that was still being made. Since it was consider “hospital grade safe” the only other one that still made some was Electrolux
