no more messy bags!
i don’t think its doing the job right, the amount of dust in the air!
thats because its running in reverse
No, it works fine, but the digital camera is made out of of disposable camera and a pager from 1992.
This is how baby dust busters are made.
when household chores need to suck more
This kludge sucks! Literrally!
If this was the last female robot in the universe, “Johnny 5″ wouldn’t even think about it!
Looks like the vacuum gets stuff stuck in that area from the lower part going up to the canister. I hate that about uprights.
The upright is somewhat broken, but the beater bar still works. Our domestic engineer has used the shopvac to collect the dirt, after the beater bar knocks it loose from the carpet.
It looks like the designer intentionally ran the air through the air pump of the upright. This implies it still works. The two air pumps are in series, which will make them suck more effectively.
The user interface is really bad. I see that the cords go off in two different directions. The hose comes out of the front of the upright, that seems awkward. It looks like it will be difficult to move the vacuum cleaner array. Perhaps this is just a trial to test two stage vacuum pumps.
Does it help?
He should have attached the shop vac to the upright with a chain of zipties, so that when you push the upright the shop vac gets dragged along. Then a bit of duct tape to keep the hose off the floor and prevent tangling, and the cords can surely be spliced together. Especially when you consider that you need just a short length to go between the machines so that the remainder of that cord can be used to extend the other one, with two new kludge possibilities.
It sounds like a good idea but it think the load might be too heavy for a single circuit.
I think you’re right about using the beater brush, but it’s not using the suction from both motors; only the shop-vac is providing that. My guess is this arrangement would be useful for getting dirt off a wet or shampooed carpet.
I always wondered where baby Dust Devils came from.
i think the shop vac is giving him CPR
Now I know where little vacuums come from.
If it exists, there is a sexual fetish for it on the internet.
And to help you find a hint:
It will end on .JP
Internet Rule #34
It’s more likely that it will end in ER
I can’t wait to see the little suckers.
My upright’s hose is ripped, and despite re-coiling it back together to get it to work, the ripped area’s a magnet for clogging. I should put some sort of internal splint & zip-tie it back together.
It’s R2D2 redneck style.
It’s time to cut the umbilical and let the little guy grow up.
The little one says, “Where you go, I go”.
What the hell?!
When vacuum bags are just too expensive…
One should always check the young upright for shop-tics after going outside.
They fixed a crappy Walmart vacuum using another crappy Walmart vacuum! Genius!
Floyd couldn’t figure out why his moonshine always tasted dusty.
*cue Barry White* Oh yeah, baby, sweet sweet vacuum love.
Mom! The Shop Vac’s molesting the Dirt Devil again!
yes folks, this is a 19 amp vac. We used this to suck the paint off the car.
I could use that at the body shop I work at. Beats grinders, chemicals or media-blasting any day!
Where is the “adults only” caution sign???
R2D2 getting laid !!
This looks shopped.
One thing could be said about the two little rascals, they were always attached at the hip? I think.
Looks like the lens needs a vacuuming.
Vacuum powered vacuum cleaner!
What is this, a suck-off?
what are you waiting for? Duct tape them together and it’s a complete 4000watt beater/sucker/kick your floor tiles out vacuum thingy!
I wonder what would happen if you set one to ‘Suck’ and the other to ‘Blow’?
Ah, the famous Moebius cleaner myth. Sorry, buddy. It cannot be done.
A few staples, a couple of nails, a couple of balls of string and 87 rolls of duct tape… Never say never! :-]
“Mega Maid?”
The most powerful sex toy ever!
The wife nagged and nagged until Bubba finally got off the couch and fixed the vacuum
When you want the ease of an upright, but the power of a canister!
I guess at least one of these sucks?!?!
Which one’s Lady, and which one’s the Tramp?
It’s nothing to sneeze at…
I just like things that work properly…
