I got the vacuum for $10, and I salvaged the power cable from another vacuum I got for free.
I soldered the connections, and I used the appropriate amount of flux. I also used shrink tubes


Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Buddy! This is dull mens club! This is far too interesting! Also, I want to watch a video of you doing it.
I have failed you all 😞
How long is the “new” power cord? I love the long cords on the more expensive vacuums. Five meters is quite a good start.
11.7m
e I originally wrote 13m but that was a poor estimate. 11.7m is the actual measured length
I’m glad you measured it, an estimate being 10% off is right at the edge of being acceptable. For me anyway.
Couldn’t just change the termination of the cable in the vacuum and avoid the solder risk?
