I have both a hakko and a ts-100, and honestly I end up just using the ts-100 most of the time as I can run it off a small battery pack.

Its kinda like having a dyson battery vacuum vs a proper AC one - the AC vacuum has way better suction, but the dyson is so light and convenient to use and good enough for most things.




Depends on the AC vacuum — my old Dyson V6 in turbo mode outsucks most AC-powered vacuums I've dealt with. Sometimes new tech is just better.


You must have used some very very shitty AC vacuums.

I have a dyson v6 and a nilfisk x150 - the nilfisk motor is 1600 watts, they aren't even in the same ballpark suction power wise.

Without the motor brush head the v6 is pretty useless even in turbo mode.


Dyson V8 here...it cant even suck a rice grain on high power mode. Worst vacuum cleaners ever


Out of curiosity I just did a bit of a google, my AC vacuum is 6x the measured suction of the dyson in turbo mode:

v6 normal - 24 air watts

v6 turbo - 100 air watts

nilfisk x150 - 600 air watts
