Which Vacuum Has the Most USABLE Suction? 46 Vacuums TESTED! - NERDS ONLY!

In this video, I talk about a new way I am testing the suction on vacuum cleaners. It's called an unsealed suction test, or a "usable suction" test, and I put about 46 of my vacuums and cordless vacuums through it.

On the rare occasion that Vacuum Wars does a sponsored video or receives a product from a manufacturer to review, we will be clear about that in the video. Otherwise, if nothing was mentioned, then this was an unsponsored review.

It is because of videos like this that I haven't regretted canceling cable even once. Outstanding work. Please keep it up.

I wonder how this test would work if the hole was under a layer of med-pile carpet...

[DavidVogt]

Wow, very detailed. That must have taken a lot of work to put together. Well done!

Just received my vertx it soaked up two months of hair and filling the bin twice! Super quiet and my first premium vacuum

[TheBuddyboy]

These super technical videos are the reason I watch this channel. You also got me into being somewhat of a vacuum nerd which I didn't think was possible lol thanks for your videos vacuumwars!

Fantastic Video. You are the only Youtuber i found who has standardized tests to compare suction, carpet cleaning performance, hepa filter, etc . I love that!

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

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.

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.

[robbery]

Wow, this is really cool. I'd love to see a similar test on corded vacuums

[noh]

Shark's anti hair brush thing is amazing though. It works really well, even on long hairs. I always hated cleaning the hair out of our old Dyson.

Any chance you'll review the "recent" cordless Miele vacuums? They make decent normal ones so wondering how their handheld ones compare.

I'm not a nerd and not particularly at math/science but u explained this really well!! It shows the so thought out and thorough, we very much appreciate it

[barkanster]

Wow I. Am ten and love ur vids they inspire me so much thank you for giving me hopes for my vacuuming company!

[josefrogoschewsky]

Chris! This was outstanding work! Man you are crushing it with your videos. So interesting, and love that you are giving us vacuum nerds exactly want we crave! Thank you!!!

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.

Absolutely addicted to this channel! Who would have ever thought that vacuums could be so entertaining. Great job! I absolutely love the Vertex upright for carpet, I want to get the Vertex ultralight but can't decide between corded or cordless, it will be mostly be used on hardwood. Any suggestions?

[pinkapotamus]

Watching this because I’m on the hunt for a new vac! I have Berber and laminate floors so I need a good multi surface unit.

[mainsource]

I was going to return my lupe but decided to keep it the other day, the way it cant vacuum under low-ish furniture kinda irritates me, so i break out the cordless vertex for that, lol, now im even more glad I kept the lupe, thanks!!!! keep up the good work!

I don’t know much about vacuums performance, but I feel like it’s a lot like car performance, simply put, big engine don’t mean fast car.
