Insulation Removal Vacuums
Insulation removal vacuums pull blown-in cellulose and fiberglass out of attics and wall cavities and bag it for disposal. Nikro’s 10, 14 and 18 HP gas engines run without site power, at 3,000 to 6,000 cu.ft/hr. The packages add the hose run, connectors and disposal bags.

What size insulation removal vacuum does the job?
Match the engine to how much attic you clear in a week, not to the largest machine you can afford. The 10 HP INSUL10 moves 3,000 cu.ft/hr, the 14 HP INSUL14 moves 5,400, and the 18 HP INSUL18 moves 6,000.
The jump from 10 to 14 HP is the one that changes a schedule: 5,400 cu.ft/hr is 80% more throughput per hour. Weight moves with it. The INSUL10 is 125 lbs and loads into a van or pickup, which is why Nikro positions it for smaller crews. The INSUL14 and INSUL18 are 312 and 330 lbs and stay on their wheels between the truck and the job. All three run their own gas engines, so they do not need site power.
Start type follows the same split. The INSUL10 is recoil start. The INSUL14 and INSUL18 use 12V electric start, which matters when a crew is restarting the machine between attics all day rather than once in the morning.
Machine only, or the complete package?
The packages pair the same vacuum with the hose run and disposal supplies, so those arrive with the machine rather than on a separate parts list.
Each package adds Vaculite hose, metal hose connectors, a 6"-to-4" reducer, a 4' metal pick-up tube, adjustable clamps and disposable bags, and the hose and connector counts scale with the engine. Buying the machine alone makes sense when you already run Nikro 6" hose and keep bags on hand.
What should you check before the first attic?
Vermiculite is one material to stop for. The EPA advises treating vermiculite attic insulation as though it contains asbestos and leaving it undisturbed, because a large share of the vermiculite sold in the US came from a mine with asbestos contamination and distribution continued into 1990. Age alone does not rule it out, and it is not a call to make by eye on the day.
The EPA's guidance on vermiculite insulation covers what to do when you find it. Where asbestos-containing material is known or presumed, OSHA's construction asbestos standard, 29 CFR 1926.1101, sets out the exposure assessment, work classification and respiratory requirements that apply. Which controls a specific job needs depends on the material, the work and the rules in your jurisdiction, so both are worth reading before quoting a house of unknown age.

we have three cats, and this purifier has done wonders in removing pet odors and dander
Located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota, we acquired our Brio Air Filter in mid-late Spring of this year (2023) when pollen count was high and we were beginning to experience the effects of Poor Air Quality Index as a result of smoke particulates from fires in Canada that caused the air in much of Minnesota to become hazy and simply dirty.
It is so easy to share our experience with the Brio Air Filter given how quickly and efficiently it removed pollen, dust, and smoke particles from the environment inside our home. Two people in our home who suffer from pollen-related allergies during the spring immediately experienced easier breathing and elimination of symptoms within the house. With respect to smoke particulates from Canada drifting into our environment, EVERYONE in our home experienced directly improved breathing and smell of the air when entering from outside.
An additional piece of information to account for is that we have always employed high grade furnace filters in our home’s central HVAC system. With that high grade filtration in place both prior to and after acquiring a Brio home air filter, we all quickly agreed that deploying the Brio in our home made an easily noticeable positive difference in breathing inside our home. Additionally, those of us who clean our home have observed that dust builds up slower on our floors and furniture than before we deployed the Brio unit.
We did note that the Brio is not as quiet as a few other brands/models on the market that we have tried in our home but the efficiency and quality of the filtration, along with the air turnover rate it provides,allows us to locate the Brio unit in central rooms away from the bedrooms. Since we made that change there has been no noise-related effect on our sleep, while the unit maintains the same level of air cleanliness throughout our home.
A last key point to make is how easy the Brio unit is to maintain. The simplicity of the modular construction of the Brio unit makes it very quick and easy to keep the filtration sections clean. We have not yet reached a point of filter replacement but it is obvious to us that the replacement will take a matter of seconds and can be executed by anyone in our home, including our 10-year-old son.
this bedroom purifier has transformed my sleep quality. the air is so much fresher and cleaner worth every penny
Amazing customer service and reliable products
very customer friendly and professional design.
perfect for maneuvering in tight areas the HEPA filter is a huge bonus
It seems to help reduce my allergy issues. We're glad we bought it. The only problem I had was not seeing any cubic footage recommendations in the online description when purchasing the unit. Bedrooms vary widely in size!!
This vacuum has exceeded my expectations. It's super powerful and handles daily cleaning with ease. I recommend it to everyone.
really effective in sweeping up all kinds of debris from our warehouse floor
