Review on πŸŒͺ️ Efficient Cleaning Power with TORNADOR VELOCITY-VAC DRY ZV-240 (Dry Vac) by Paul Wilson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not so good for heavily soiled materials.

So I learn quickly in driveways. I have purchased and used a Tornador Black, Tornador Foam Gun, Tornador Speed Vacuum, and Tornador Dry Vacuum. As for the vacuum cleaner, it does a good job of cleaning carpets and upholstery when they are lightly soiled. Not so good for heavily soiled material. Due to 2 hoses and a canister with one solution, using it in the car is inconvenient. You'll need a wet vacuum and a fairly large air compressor so you don't have to constantly wait for air pressure to build up and the tank to fill - 5.5 minutes of airflow and a 20 gallon tank - 30 gallons is better. One thing, The one thing I've mentioned in all the reviews I've seen is that you have to use a foam filter in a wet vacuum. If you use a paper filter, it will get wet and mold will need to be replaced urgently. In fact, if you plan to use a Tornador on carpet and upholstery, I would take a dry vacuum and a spray cleaner for your project, and then vacuum it up with a dry vacuum if you plan to work indoors, as it's less impractical without a solution container. Drying speed is much better than wet dry for vacuum. Really collects animal hair. However, it cannot be used to vacuum up large pieces. I also have a steamer vx5000. Less difficult to set up and use for carpet and upholstery and can be used for other hard surfaces, generally cheaper and more portable as you don't need an air compressor - I assume all prisoners already have a wet vacuum. By the way, the black tornador is an excellent device in itself. Somehow, even with a cleaning solution, a steamer just can't clean dirty doors, and both are about the same for engine cleaning - both require a degreaser. For best results when using the steam cleaner on most surfaces, you will need a cloth. via a cleaning tool or nozzle, at least if you use steamers like mine on many surfaces and vacuum after cleaning carpets and upholstery. BTW, I just bought a mytee lite because I wasn't happy with the vacuum speed results on dirty Honda seat pads that haven't been cleaned in a while. .

Pros
  • Interior care
Cons
  • Working speed
