So ... on my test bench today was , the 8.4 vs the 6.6 vs a HD electro

Results later ...

Each test was repeated at least three times to confirm result .
CFM is for comparison from motor to motor ... i dont have a lab :) i would say my CFM is about 10 less than the manufacturers stated ... but it tells you how each motor performs compared to the next .

Conclusion -
The 5.7 got past the 10hg mark further that the others ... but CFM was quite a bit less
The 8.4 was major a disappointment as they cost me twice the price of the 6.6 but showed no gain in performance
The 6.6 is the best value motor ( if you get it at about £100 from woodbridge )
I will continue using the 6.6 because of its low cost and similar performance to the 8.4
-
Great tests I suppose you're confirming why many manufacturers of machines haven't gone down the 8.4 route.

£99 at woodbridge John? is that all in? Cant seem to add it to cart

True , it seems to be a bit like the 5.7 and 7.2 vacs . there isn't much performance difference .

Hi John, An interesting test would be the CFM and lift readings when the wand is on the carpet. This would give definitive answers about what is best in use.
The CFM meter could be mounted in a piece of hose to give a reading and the Lift reading could be taken off of a hose connector with a hole in it.
Let us know if you fancy having a go.

Hey Robin , testing at the wand would be best alright . Measuring the lift like that is easy enough , putting a digital cfm meter in the system is a bit trickier .
The cfm guage would need to be inline , within the vacuum system , easy to do with the omega style inline gauge but with the digital meter like mine its barely possible , I could try and put a connector each side of the meters vane and seal it with duct tape , it would be crude but might work .
Ashbys had some great inline cfm wand on carpet measuring videos on youtube a couple of years back , only problem was the omega guage they used proved inaccurate under vacuum .
Heres an alternative , i took the below pic from tmf , this guy has measured the operating lift with the wand on the carpet and then made a round hole in the plastic cap at the size that matched the result he got for operating lift , so he is simulating the wand on the carpet but he can now place his digital cfm meter over the hole .

Good stuff John.
It will be interesting to see the results if you get the time to try it out.

Hi @Richard @ Wcs,

Hi Robin,
Yeah, I've seen your link to eBay and it looks like a bargain, however, I would be extra vigilant on the quality of the product. I have also concerns if this is certainly genuine part but it might be just me :) if anyone has bought from this eBay seller then let me know if it's all fine? :)
-
I bought 2 from them and one burnt out after less than 50 hours use......................Alan
-
that's my point with eBay shopping....
-
You pay your money and take your chances....
I bought £8000 worth of kit from WWCS they sent me out a machine which runs on 20 Amps with a 13 Amp plug on it!!! :o. They took 3 months to refund me and wanted me to pay to send it back initially. They have not apologized!
I personally have found there is more protection buying from ebay

you just want me to buy these off eBay, don't you!
-
No.
I have no idea who the people on eBay are,
I have never bought from them before,
I don't even own a 6,6 motor.
I have dealt with WWCS though, and would definitely trust a complete stranger selling the same product rather than them.
Yes I do have an axe to grind..... (figure of speech not real axe)

what happened there ? are you sure it was a 6.6 u got off ebay ? its not like there are fake copys of that unique to ametek size out there ... and the discription in the link that robin gave clearly states Lamb Ametek Part No. 122 236-18
so ... whatever happened to yours at 50 hrs was probably some random warrenty issue that would have happened no matter what supplier you used ... or were you sucking up the vanish :D

Richard @ Wcs
I see that you sell pumptec pumps along with the motor. I need the 205v pump only in the link below.
https://www.worldwidecleaningsupport.com/spare-parts/water-pumps/pumptec-500psi-water-pump-complete
Do you sell them on their own? and if so, how much?
cheers

Hi Simon. Sorry for the late reply. I have seen several listings in the past and everyone sells them differently. We do stock the gaskets if you still need them https://www.worldwidecleaningsupport.com/foam-motor-gasket-seal

Thank you, both for your replies.
I have eventually managed to sort out gaskets, spacers, bolts etc from Airflex Storm manufacturer. What a great service.
Again, thanks for your input.
