Analyzing a cordless Li-ion vacuum cleaner from a dumpster. What’s inside and how does it work? What failed in it, why it was …

It was in the trash because that's where it belongs… Even before it was sold.
The cat at 2:50 definitely won this episode 🤣
Battery powered vacuum cleaners are just made to be thrown away, especially those that are also supposed to be used to clean the floor (as opposed to the smaller hand held ones). People either leave them in the charging station all the time, which destroys the li-ion cells in a year or two (they lose capacity faster the longer and closer they are to a fully charged level). Or people almost never use them and find the batteries fully self-discharged and again damaged.
As for manufacturers: the worst offender I got (I repair things for people) was from Bosch (a Bosch Athlet 32.4V). If a single cell of the 9S pack drops below 3.0V, the electronic board bricks itself! Even if you charge the cells (via the balancing connector of the battery pack for example) or replace them with new ones, the vacuum will not work again, but always indicate a battery fault.
I have two cordless vacuum cleaners. Both are restored from trash. For regular floor are just enough, but not for carpet. They're even good for cleaning inside a car or camping.
Electric shavers now are powered by batteries because they could be used in wet environment, eg. with shaving cream and could be totally submerged in water. Noone will gave you a guarantee to not beeing shocked when you will use shaver in water even via proper insulated power adaptor.
A small cordless vacuum can be useful for picking up crumbs etc but for general house cleaning a mains powered one wins every time.
Loved the video! It doesn’t surprise me that someone would throw this out, people would rather buy a new one than fix what they have. When I was a teenager, my grandfather and I would pick up vacuum cleaners from the trash and repair them. 90% of the time they were thrown out because of dirty filters or clogged hoses. We would repair, clean, and resell them for $10-$25 to people who couldn’t afford new ones.
I just repaired one similar but harder to open. Turned out one of the wires had come off the main motor due to vibration. They were just soldered on with nothing like heatshrink re-enforcing the connection.and wire.
You maybe could use the parts to make a (rather noisy) solder fume extractor?
for the first time in years you are way wrong, Li-ion has a commercial recycle material efficiency of above 99%
You had me at "bloody vacuum cleaner". That HAS to be worth a beer on me 🤣
Wiadomo ktoś kupił skomplikowany odkurzacz którego nie wiedział jak naprawić to wyrzucił
The cat question is hilar😂ious
I really enjoy watching DiodeGoneWild passively judge the entire world by the new standards that are complete nonsense. I too till this day do not understand, when appliances started to become "better" when you install a battery inside of it. when in reality the battery makes the appliance a total piece of trash. A vacuum cleaner is one device that should have never been made cordless. Also the mini rant with the shaver power supply was really fun and on point regarding today. I don't know what has the world come to, but it makes me very concerned.
The high motor current is actually because of age. If you buy the same type of motor new the current will be lower. Idk why or if I may be wrong
" in the bathroom, or maybe the other way today…" 😹😹😹
Someone in my family had this vacum cleaner after 1 year, the battery died, so I replaced the 18650 cells and it lasted again yust 1 year. So it seems that the bms or the other ciruit is destroying the 18650 cells.
The dumbest design I've seen for a vacuum cleaner head was from a commercial vacuum cleaner designed and made in Italy. The 36V cordless head and 240V mains head were identical, except for a sticker indicating the 36V one was for a cordless stick. I don't know how many have been blown up.
I also prefer wall sockets. I cut every wire from my girlfiends christmas lights to power them at least from 5v USB. I think every household has at least 10 of them hidden in all the drawers.
I have this same Rowenta but it is 10+ years old. It works perfectly but each time I turn it on, it smells so horribly that I no longer use it. Maybe I should open the impeller and see what horror is in there.
Thanks
Don't destroy the battery pack. Seeing it's practically functional with massive power in it. Do something with it.
You have a pretty cat! more kitty!
15:00 typical SEB quality
holy balls batman. that accent is THICCC. I can barely understand and I feel I'm usually pretty okay at deciphering other accents.
Wow it's even bigger pile of junk than i expected initially.
I stead of tressing, donate the whole unit to someone near you, they can use it as main working vacuum cleaner.
Corded vacuum cleaners suck, but not as bad as Battery powered ones.
Rowenta is or was not the worst German company – although for some time now owned by SEB / France.
Danke!
How many more buzzwords you can put on a bloody vacuum cleaner?
More until the unit filled with buzzwords and you cannot read it
My father bought a Kirby 25 years ago. He used it daily. I still use it daily. Someone 25 years from now will be using it. My washer and dryer are even older Maytags.
18:00 I was wondering why they bother with different power settings; after all, why would anyone ever want their vacuum cleaner to create less than the maximum amount of suction?
Of course, the reason is so the manufacturer can have an excuse to lie about how long the battery lasts.
Cant wait to see the battery guts
@1:11 – Sorry, not "extreme" enough for me. 😁
Portable battery operable vacuums are good for just the floor & long corridors and a car.
I own a mains vacuum(in old aps) and a stick one. Mains vacuum is great for carpets, but in my flat there are no carpets, only vinyl floor, no need for high suction power(that missing brush is actually useful, has quite a lot of torque)
The only thing surprises me is human dumbness, if my vac dies I'll replace batteries, transistors, and it will work.
Your cat was right: Use a mains powered screwdriver or armstrong. John Dyson made too many millions with colorful suckers, both plugin and battery. Dissection of its head revealed the beast of the former owner. My son tried a small robot vacuum with 2 cats in the house, not enough hair capacity. Now they use 2 stick battery suckers. When I bought my first Commodore 64 I could never imagine that one day batteries can keep me computing for days.
Dysons are overpriced and over engineered. Give me a Henry any day.
I’ve picked up plenty of mains powered vacuums dumped by the roadside. I’ve also even picked up a Vax carpet cleaner. The only problem was the heavily clogged filters. People would dump them assuming they’re faulty.
hello , can you help me please to make 230v AC to 5v DC and 500mA switching power supply , thank you
Very interesting. Just shows how "ordinary people" have no idea about electronics.!
keep up the good work. Love the pets BTW.
That's not my Li-ion vacuum. Either way I would have left it where it was. JUNK!
