I wonder where the best tradeoff between suction and airflow is? After all, suction is inverse to how much air you're actually moving and you do need air moving through your vacuum or heavy particles like sand just won't get lifted up the hose and there's even a chance the motor might overheat.

[@kiddwong4186]

Had the Lupe vacuum for a little over a month now (was sold on it from a previous video on this channel). The suction is very strong on normal mode and creates a noticeable amount of resistance when you try to push along on carpet. Build quality is amazing and the front "soft" roller is amazing at pulling in larger debris. Customer service is excellent as well. I had some weird issues with my battery and they sent me out a new one free of charge.

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lexievv]

Hi, How is it performing a year later, and how loud is it actually? I'm eyeing one right now, but am still kind of looking around for other options to compare. Vacuum wars, although his excellent reviews, didn't really cover the Lupe in his later video's so I'm looking for any kind of information I can find :)

[@emmanuelsurillo5502]

That was rude, they could have charged it for you before they sent it to you

[@10p6]

Maybe you should add a cost per point into the equation, since Lupe is massively more expensive.

[@Xarosai]

The Lupe would still crush all the competition if you make them comparable in usefulness (so debris holes not closed on Dyson and Sanitaire Tradition not dropped so low that it can't pick up bigger debris). That leaves the LG CordZero A9 Soft in 2nd position with less than half the useful suction and only about 25% cheaper... Stats don't lie! :P

[@OnyxCat681]

It is not massively expensive for example is the same price with Dyson top cordless vacuum, even Dyson newer models are more expensive, we have looked for a new vacuum cleaner for some time now and find that Lupe has all that the other cordless have combined in one vacuum cleaner and in addition (you might think design does not matter) upright design is better. Doesn't put to much weight on your hand, better to reach difficult to reach pleases. We all ready try it in action as our friends have it and is amazing, it blows Dyson away. I hope that's helps.

[@nissan_skyline]

It's actually not. The most expensive cordless vacuum model from Dyson is $970, the cheapest model is $400 and the average price is $600, which is equivalent to the cost of a Lupe. Since the Lupe is much more powerful than all of Dyson's cordless models, $600 is a pretty good deal, especially when you take into consideration the battery life, dual cleaning head, size of the debris canister, and the fact that you can purchase replacement parts individually as opposed to buying a brand new unit since it's design for longevity. Traditional cordless vacuums are not that great, especially the non-premium models from major brands that you can find in regular department stores. In my opinion, it's kind of pointless to get a cordless vacuum unless you purchase a premium model that's at least $300+.

Got the Shark Vertex Zero M a couple weeks ago after sending back my Dyson V11 Animal and deciding stick vacuums aren’t worth it for my mostly-carpet 3000sqft house. Very very pleased with it. It’s heavier, but I also feel like they substantially improved the quality of their vacuums in the last several years. It’s leaps better than my parents’ new-ish Navigator they bought in 2017, after I recommended it because I liked my Navigator from probably 2009-2011 (hand-me-down from a relative so I’m not entirely sure of it’s age). It truly does not struggle with hair. My son ripping elastic out of his socks to use as makeshift spiderwebs for his Spider-Man action figures to swing on, however, are another story 🤣 those wrapped around the front brush head so badly I had to use a pointy knife to dig them out. But it only took a few minutes and I loved that I could pop that front roller out of the head to clean just the roller and not have the entire vacuum head in my lap, so I still love this thing very much. Thanks for nerding out to help people make informed decisions on expensive appliances.

[@robertblahnik]

I have a Bagged Hoover Wind Tunnel for over a decade now. I use it twice a month and could ask no more from it. They advertised it's loudness as a good thing for reasons of efficiency and cost. They advise to put on some headphones or ear pods and enjoy the best suction and they were right. I've had both deep carpet and now I have a very expensive hotel low cut but dense carpet that was one giant remnant from the Intercontinal Hotel when it went up a few years ago. People comment on it all the time. It inspired me to upgrade my kitchen. Back to my H. vac. Since my vac rides on top the carpet I keep it on it's lowest setting. It uses some kind of baffling that ensures equal airflow across the length of the brush instead of all of it going through the middle like my earlier Dirt Devil did. I was told that keep it at 100% efficiency I would have to change the bag when it's 1/3rd full. Last week, I asked myself, when did I look at that bag last. It had to be at least a year. So I opened it and it was about 80% full. Wow I thought to myself because it was working so well. Though it did seem to be warmer as did the power cord. However, I got my vac for $75 when Sears was going belly up and I would bet all my lucky stars that even the best vacuums out there could only be about 10 to 15% better than my Hoover. But senior Hoover cost 85% less than some of those other vacs.

It seems like you could modify carpet roll to have Lupe-like performance. If you placed soft slick foam cutouts just like Lupe uses between hard brushes, it would keep agitation and help with suction. I have very powerful N8Werk Zeus, which is seemingly 400W max with good suction, and comes with 2 different rolls. Your video really gives me the urge to try to improve the carpet roll with some kind of slippery foam that would seal it inbetween the brushes. What do you think?

[@wujo4443]

This might be better than previous airflow numbers but... It still feels academical compared to RL testing. What matters to me as consumer is how good is cleaning, and that includes more factors than just suction. But by all means, keep improving your process!

@@oufofmemory It wouldn't be uninformative. It's very possible that the vacuums that seal well on hard floors would fail to seal well on carpet due to brush roller designs that fail to penitrate into the carpet (like soft roller designs).

Love to be able to test a new machine versus one before I clean it versus after I clean it to see how much of a drop there was after a month or two. Any thoughts on all the fine dust that doesn’t get cycloned? And have you done anything to teach about actual testing or selves?

[@mattm2024]

As you note in the video, this new metric best measures the seal around the vacuum head. What still seems to be THE question of the hour is what metric of the ones we see really does the best at indicating cleaning power and I suspect the answer is "it depends". The act of cleaning a floor involves several things happening in concert with one another - air flow (both pressure AND volume), brushes "throwing" the debris into the airflow and some form of a seal to increase the speed of the airflow into which the debris is caught and ultimately vacuumed up. This is similar to things like a pressure washer or leaf blower where just having high speed or high pressure isn't enough to clean. You need volume of movement as well. It would be interesting to test the POST head air movement speed and volume of these devices to see how much movement is happening in the column of air that has debris in it...

[@a111z]

Look at a video demonstration of a “working vacuum gauge”. That is probably the best instrument to predict cleaning ability. Basically it’s a Y shaped pipe, one end is attached to the vacuum hose, one end is attached to a vacuum gauge, the third end has a restricted orifice (I think most are 3/4 inch diameter) . Initially the orifice is sealed and the maximum sealed vacuum pressure is notated, then the orifice is unsealed, whatever vacuum pressure is maintained when the gauge is unsealed is notated. This second measurement is what’s referred to as “working vacuum”. A vacuum cleaner must have strong suction and strong airflow to maintain strong “working vacuum”. Even this can’t account for cleaner head and brush roll design and performance though.

True but in my experience- in our household - long haired wife, short haired husband, baby and Labrador I have no trouble with hair wrap. The only time the roller gets tangled and I have to untangle it is with one wool rug which sheds a lot and even the amount that’s shedding has reduced significantly as I guess the vacuum is grooming it. The wool fibres come off the brush really easily too.

[@DIYDad1]

Vacuum science man, this is good stuff! Suction is only one part of the equation though I would argue airflow is even MORE important when it comes to carpet deep cleaning performance that’s why direct air machines like Kirby and Riccar tout their deep cleaning ability, it’s a factor of finding the right balance of airflow, suction, and agitation. Too much of one thing is bad, too much suction and it just sucks itself to the floor impossible to push, too much agitation and you shred your carpet to bits. Proper design engineering is crucial for the best efficiency as you’ve already proven in cordless stick vacs.

[@RobotZombii]

After thinking for a while, I figure the biggest problem with adapting this test for robot vacuums is going to be figuring out how to convince a smart vacuum to roll over the same spot many times. A "dumb" bot can simply be told to run out its whole battery in a small pen, and you can come back later with confidence that the recorded max reading on your anemometer represents the best-case scenario since the vacuum will have gone back and forth many times from different angles. A "smart" robot vacuum only wants to do the same spot once or twice, so it could get tedious telling them to spot clean over and over again from slightly different starting points... Perhaps what you need for a repeatable test is to take advantage of the wall-following action that *all* robot vacuums employ, by using an adjustable rail to force them to go over that spot with different offsets (one run with the suction point 3in from the wall, next run with the suction point 3.25in from the wall, etc)?

[@VacuumWars]

I didn't really notice that being a concern. It is true that the suction was much weaker the further from the place in the head where the hose was, but as long as you were on the hose it didn't matter. Many Dyson cordless heads are smaller than the LUPE for example.

[@maxwellgeringer5448]

[@claykin1]

I find my Lupe to be overall less annoying on my ears compared to the Dyson V11. I did a 1M SPL test and got 65db low, 67db med, 70db high with my Lupe while on medium pile carpet with the floor brush motor on. I also have a higher end Miele canister vac and with its powered floor head I get 63db on lowest about 65db on mid setting and 68db on highest. My test is not scientific, just meant to give you an example.

[@UnixGoldBoy]

@@claykin1 Strange. I bought a Miele UniQ S8 in 2013 and get 53db on low/curtain mode, 62db on ear (medium) mode, and 64db on max suction. My Henry Xtra has one setting and it was 70db. I also have my 1978 Electrolux Olympia One canister and got 75db, only 5db louder than a Lupe and it's 42 years old. I did watch a video with sound on the Lupe and I found it too loud, but that could have been a sensitive microphone.

Seem the Lupe is a great non-carpet vacuum, but the Riccar P40 would be ideal for carpet. Am I missing something?

I would love to see a 2023 video using this method !

[@lucasnorman8636]

Why did you get rid of your Kirby? I would love to see where it fits on this scale. Can you carpet the top of the wood to better quantify what happens on carpet vs this smooth floor test?

[@Nenezilla]

Ah, the Kirby....sucked up a floor rug with one when I was a teen...got a tongue lashing and grounded. What memories. I still twitch a little when they are mentioned. But a good vac back then.

[@crones87]

Why haven't you tried the EUFY L70?

[@kiwibeast2162]

Hey thanks for doing this test! It really shows the suction power at the head!

[@VacuumWars]

You are welcome!

[@arevee9429]

Nerd here. But I won't have many nerd remarks. Does the Lupe handle well? Yeah, the term 'handling' is usually reserved for automobiles, but vacuum nerds can use it too. And I don't care how good a vacuum's suction or airflow is if it is a big, clumsy beast. Looking at you Tacony twin fan and Kirby. My Dyson stick vacuum (yes, you're sick of hearing about it) can vacuum stairs with the regular floor attachment - straight from floors to stairs with no change. If the Lupe can do that, I'd consider it. I think Tacony's cordless that looks just like the Supralite converted to battery and was reviewed on this channel is a direct air machine. The corded versions is direct air.

Best vaccume that is Bagless. Only for carpets under 200$? Any thoughts

[@K500o]

Its interesting how low the shark vertex scored, definitely made me change my mind about the vacuum. I love your show by the way.

[@snauspockets9924]

That's unfortunate because the shark vertex is amazing and has so much suction that it's almost scary at times. This test is Hokie in my opinion... something real specific about it to make a Lupe amazing and everybody else not. I would disregard it if I was you and just get a Vertex, you will be very happy... send it back if you don't like it. I think the suction will stun you... If you don't like the vertex it won't be because it lacks suction. Go watch his vertex video again and then wonder why it would do so poorly on this very specific test after he said he loved how powerful it was in the review.... this video actually gave me bad vibes because I know how good the vertex is... something not right with this test.

[@redcherry71]

@@snauspockets9924 the suction on Lupe is better than anything I’ve used and I used to have the old Henry corded vacuum that would lift up the carpet. I got it the same day that I had my house professionally cleaned and vacuumed after they had left, it managed to pick up very fine dust and the 1L bin was almost full.

[@snauspockets9924]

@@redcherry71 Hey that's great...enjoy your Lupe. Anything less at that price would be a disappointment.

[@RandomBarrels]

The iRobot roomba sales seem to have skyrocketed. The i7+ with tower/base is 40% off. Is this a steal? I just bought the deebot aivi for $800 but people are really complaining about the loss of tower/base functionality. What do you think? I’d love some input especially due to the sale and how much I might be spending.

[@eshanpopade5811]

In the Lupe test they have kept two sides of wodden top open, but in your test you have kept all 4 sides closed, which is the correct way??

[@obraik]

Do you still have the Kirby that you tested a couple years back? I'd be interested to see how that ranks.

[@bl5563]

For medical reasons I need to purchase a vacuum with the best Hepa system. I need to minimize the dust in the house. Can you please recommend a vacuum with superior HEPA filtration system and is rated high for cleaning. Enjoy your videos!

[@Dankcatvacs]

A bagged vacuum is cleaner even a 50 dollar bissell

[@Dankcatvacs]

Maybe a simplicity or riccar

[@VacuumWars]

Anything that advertises a seal HEPA system will work. Most Sharks, Dysons, and other premium brands (Miele RIccar and many more) have it these days. It's hard to say that one is better than the other. Because a sealed system with HEPA is as good as it gets.

[@ToddWheeler253]

Dyson V11 Torque OPEN is on the list twice with different numbers

[@maxsmith4400]

Love the great content you share with us all.Can i ask why there hasnt been a bosch review at all? I hear good things about the athlet unlimited. Thanks again.

[@seanerdid]

Would you be able to add a suction/flow/ overall performance test on these vacuums, after they have picked up a measured amount of dirt/dust to see how quickly, and to what extent their performance degrades as the bags fill and thus clog the "filtering" of the bags, which decreases flow. Or in the case of bagless, as the filters begin to clog. I've noticed that my bagged vacuum's (pro team proforce 1500xp) performance degrades very quickly and significantly from when it has a fresh bag in it. (has a smaller bag) After vacuuming for 20 minutes, the pickup power is much less, almost to the point of not being able to pick up small pebbles on the carpet. I think this would be a nice factor to also consider when deciding on buying a vacuum. Thanks for the great reviews and your time!

[@aztrodre8715]

This does need to be tested with one box with carpet installed and one with tile, or one with laminate floors. Makes a huge difference for suction power

[@jackdaniels5489]

I need your opinion. About suction power and air. What is better? 1 extractor have more air but less suction power and another is opposite. What is better for you?😊 And is there any way to make better suction of machine? Thank you

[@Alex-yq2tf]

Your content hits every important point to judge product performance and value. This is the gold standard for product reviews. Your detailed methodology is similar to Desfit for fitness devices!

[@VacuumWars]

Thank you!

[@andromedaAndy]

I just binge watched a bunch of vacuum cleaner videos. Hello, 2021. I see you've come to destroy me.

[@VacuumWars]

It's not so bad.😊

[@netwt449]

Something is not correct with the Kenmore Elite result. I have this model and if I put it at the lowest setting the suction would lift my carpet up and or it would be too hard to push. Suction is excellent. It also has direct drive like the sanitaire however, it Does have a hose on board. Something wrong here.

[@leticiatorres7577]

Hello I love your reviews! Thank you so much! I have been looking for the best #1 Hepa filtration vacuum. The one that releases the least particles in the air.... i don't seem to find such video in your channel? Please let me know if you have a video or planning on making it?

[@brittneysmith4895]

I watched so many videos on which cordless vac was the best for me and ended up with the Dyson v11. This literally changed EVERYTHING now 😂😂. If only this was available a year ago. 😂

[@feanor5037]

Great work! How come you didn’t review the Miele Triflex here?
