[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 23534, member: 126"] Re: When watts aren't watts! Vacuum cleaners suck.. Mine just threw the belt driving the beater brush, and when I replaced the belt, it ate that too... Apparently the rotating brush rides on a plastic bushing which has melted and deformed.. arghh not going to be easy to fix that. Coincidentally my old vacuum brags that it only draws 7.3A while delivering a cleaning effectiveness of 20. Apparently there is a ASTM test standard for ability to pick up dirt... Maybe they can come up with a standard for powered speakers ,,, oops we already have SPL. :-) Of course now we have that insufferable twit on TV arguing that his cyclonic vacuum cleaner (with 500 patents) makes 100,000+ Gs of centrifugal force to suck the eyeballs off dust mites. I wonder if I can find a car motor camshaft bushing to replace my melted beater brush bushing? I don't want to buy a new one. but then I'd need to find another replacement belt... arghhhh Oh well it still sucks, just doesn't beat up the dirt. JR [/QUOTE]
