WHO IS PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

“Performance Reviews”  is more than a  standard, YouTube Tech  review channel. 

While most vacuum cleaner Youtube reviewers are either paid influencers, or just personal bloggers, “Performance Reviews” offers an objective, impartial assessment of machines with a fact based,  quantifiable set of criteria in addition to end-user comments and opinions. The channel was started by an experienced technician with a life long interest in vacuum cleaners and sixteen years as a sales and repair professional.

“Performance Reviews” doesn't just test suction and air flow, but also pick up function, filtration quality and user “friendliness”.  Performance Reviews” also consults dealers throughout the VDTA network , along with vacuum cleaner collectors, to assess what,historically, has or hasn't worked.

While it is important to know a company's track record with their machines, most reviewers never mention it, but we consider this to be an essential element of any review.

The final test, of course, is the input from my wife (who is about a foot and a half shorter than me) and often provides valuable input in terms of a machine’s weight and maneuverability.

From there we form an opinion and produce a video.  We are open about our opinions as being those of an experienced, independent vacuum tech and store manager. Companies might send a machine to PR, free of charge, for testing, but might receive a poor review for making a poor product.

However, not every machine is  free. More often than not, I purchase machines on my own, or have them loaned by friends or other industry professionals.

The overall goal of “Performance Review” is to provide the industry as well as the consumer, with an honest, fact based assessment of current vacuum products.

Additionally, we hope to encourage consumers to patronize Independent dealers and to discourage DIY repair by explaining how complicated many of those repairs can be.

For us, it's important to send the clear message that there is a local business willing to help you choose a vacuum cleaner to best suit your needs or to provide skilled accessory or repair services when needed.
