RugBadger VS an upright Vacuum

The RugBadger rug duster goes head to head with a optimized upright vacuum to vibrate the gritty, ground in dry abrasive soil from a freshly cleaned Tibetan rug.

wow, thats because the vacuum sucked away the dirt it vibrated out

[dustyv8x1r2]

@kirbfan94 Tell me how a vacuum could suck away the dirt. The rug was upside down. The vac can not suck the dirt through the back of a rug.

@dustyv8x1r2 Um idiot. vacuums suck dirt up from under carpets all the time. They can do it with RUGS also. I have. So Kirb fan is right. That sanitaire just sucked it up. Do your research. Plus your little badger is like 40 pounds...that vacuums like 15-20

@vacuumlover1 Mr Vaclover, pls tone down your name calling. If you watch the video again you will note that the RugBadger puts a vibration deep into the back of the rug when the rug is put upside down. A vacuum with a revolving brush/beater will also do this,, it just can not do this anywhere near as fast and a vac will quickly loose performance. A vacuum can not remove dirt by sucking throught the backside of a rug,, sorry. If you really think it can then prove it now.

Do you still have that old Sanitaire SC886? Ive been looking everywhere for an old one like that. Would you trade it for a newer SC886 or a Hoover Convertible? Its green and white and it was built in 1982 but it doesnt even have one scratch on it. The model number is U4127. Hit me up if interested and if you wanna trade that old Sanitaire for a newer one I have several different models 7 of them being SC886s but none that old. And if you wanna trade I can throw in spair parts as well

@fiddleydiddley Dyson has way to stiff a brush, will cause more damage than it removes soil.

[dustyv8x1r2]

@fiddleydiddley Gritty abrasive soils left behind by vac damages rugs and shortens their life. The biggest wear factor on a rug is a revolving brush vacuum. We have to repair sides and fringes every day in our rug care studio because a revolving brush vac has damaged the rug. A revolving brush vac also pulls fibers out of rugs and shortens their life significantly.

@whoisthisguy724 We use a Dyson for the frontside of rugs. Great vac to remove lint, hair etc., but not recommeded for regular vacuuming of rugs as the roller will damage sides, fringes and dredge out loose rug fiber.

@fiddleydiddley Sebo is a great vac for the front side of the rug. A poor choice to dust (vibrate) a rug from the backside.

[dustyv8x1r2]

@bagintheback This Sanitaire had a new belt installed just before the demo. The slipping belt on the Sanitaire is a design flaw and will result in poor performance. Before the RugBadger we would use the Sanitaire vacs, but made it policy to always install a new belt every work day or it would slip and performance would degrade significantly.

@whoisthisguy724 The Sanitaire had the brushes removed and beaters installed so it would vibrate the back of the rug much better so it could compete against the RugBadger better. The Sanitaire still failed to perform anywhere near as well as the RugBadger at "vibrating" the backside of the rug.
