Tornador Velocity Vac Dry ZV-240

I bought this specifically for sand extraction from carpet. It did that well. It’s quite noisy and it needs a lot of airflow so the compressor is also on all the time. However, that’s probably the price you pay for not spending hours on a losing battle trying to get sand out of carpets with a regular vacuum. Oh I also used it with Numatic George so there was that noise too.

I already have a Tornador max. Its pretty versatile and great in its own way. Its great and dislodging materials in carpets. But it sends the material everywhere in the car. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Tornador Velocity from Waxit. Im a professional detailer in a small rural town. 2 out of every 3 vehicles are disaster jobs off farms or the local mines. Just used the Tornador Velocity on a farm based Ford Ranger that was full of red bull dust and other matter ground into the seats and carpets. Wow this thing is amazing. Dialled the air compressor to about 80 psi, and with the vacuum attached to it, it just rips through the crap. With the tornador tool dislodging the embedded material and the vacuum attached sucking it away instantly, this is a brilliant addition to your cleaning regime. You will need about a minimum 50lt air compressor to run it. Even just for enthusiasts that love keeping their cars clean, this is a great tool for getting sand etc out of your carpets.

Have used this a few times now. I actually haven't used it as much with a vacuum attached as I thought I would because its quicker to blow stuff out . I've mostly tried to use this for sand, dirt and pet hair with the vacuum and it has done good, but not great.

I've actually used it more like a blow tool, and so probably should have purchased the cheaper basic tornador. Works well, probably just not as well as I'd hoped.
