SE 62 – Occasional User

These units are currently being sold in Europe and other countries around the world.
These units are being manufactured in Europe by Nilfisk-ALTO for STIHL.
Nilfisk
In 1910 P.A. Fisker patented a vacuum cleaner using a name based on the company’s telegram address - Nilfisk. It was the first electric vacuum cleaner in Europe. His design weighed just 17.5 kg and could be operated by a single person. The company Fisker and Nielsen was formed just a few years before. The company had sold 1 million units by 1954.

3. Wet / Dry Vacuums
The performance of a vacuum cleaner can be measured by several parameters:
airflow, in cubic feet per minute (CFM or ft³/min)
suction, vacuum, or water lift, in inches of water (inH2O)
Air watts, (airflow * suction)/8.5
Airflow
Maximum airflow occurs at the point of minimum suction
Suction
The higher the suction rating, the more powerful the cleaner.
Air Watts
Air watts measured at the vacuum's motor can differ by as much as 50% (depending on the type of vacuum) from the air watts measured at the end of the hose.
