Anyone have any real world feedback on one of these?

The video is impressive, but the price ($179.00), seems really high for a plastic device with a spinning tube.

I have a regular tornador, and it is easily my favorite go to tool for nasty interiors.

If I had more than 1 15 amp circuit in my garage I'd purchase it. My vacuum and compressor would blow my circuit used together.

I usually vacuum,tornador, then vacuum again. The amount of leftovers that come out of a carpet are astonishing. Even after vacuuming and extraction with an Aztec hot rod, it will lift more stuff out.

Dog, cat, deer, elk, or whatever kind of hair doesn't stand a chance. The little twigs that weave into the fiber of seats and carpet easily UN weave themselves under the tornador's power.

Well worth every penny.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been eyeing this and just need motivation to pull the trigger.

You have the blower gun I take it?

considering the fact that it could be replicated easily with about 30 to 50 bucks max. in readily available parts i would not waste 180 on it.

i got one of the vaccuum powered upholstery attachments for my shop vac, it cost like 15 or 20 bucks and works great.

Has anyone seen the version that has the pistol grip instead of just the valve?

Yep. I have the Black version and it amazing for air purging. Want to get the vacuum attachment but Dont see a huge difference between the two besides saving a little time.
