Yeah, you have to give them a 5 gallon pail of shredded packing peanuts to make the comparison. Something visual.

So if vacs run in paralled are so much better for carpet cleaning, why do most machines have them set up in a series?  Marketing?  Easier to install?

What would do a better job: 1)A unit with 2-3 stage vacs run in a series or 2)a unit with 2-2 stage vacs run in parallel?

It seems to me that the better selling machines are all in parallel, but I could be wrong.  The reason that so many are in series, I believe, is that 1) there is a misunderstanding by those maufacturers what actaully works, and 2) if you want to sell machines it's better to have a bigger number than a smaller number for the customer to look at. If your vacuums are in parallel, your biggest number will be the number "200," which will be your cfm. If your vacuums are in series, the manufacturer will tend to have a number over "200."  The question is, would you rather have -- 200 of something that helps you clean carpet, or more than 200 of something that stopped helping after 130-140?

Very interesting.  I know when I bought my Diamondback, I went for the 220" of water lift.  I had no idea what the cfm was, neither did I think it mattered.  Now I know better.

So since waterlift is only really needed up to 140", and from what I've read, two 3 stage vacs can produce at least that much whether in parallel or series, then the cfm of 100 for series and 200 for parallel are the only numbers that mean much.  Does that mean in this comparison, the vac performance of a unit in parallel is twice as good as once in a series (200 versus 100 cfm)?
