Vacuum Cleaner Has More Than 100 Years Oldness

Sunday, July 20th, 2008 by admin

Vacuum Cleaner or Hoover is a device that pumps the air to suck up dust and dirt from floor. The first vacuum cleaner invented in1868 in Chicago. It was working with turning crank and hard to use as well. When hand crank started to turn, it was making vacuum by difference in air pressure and it caused sucking up dust and dirt. People get used to that tough thing till new generation electric vacuum cleaners invented in 1900. The first electric vacuum cleaner was designed in Savannah, Georgia. The rotating brush, commonly referred to as a beater bar, was developed in 1908 and since then the vacuum cleaner has undergone major changes, including a canister that uses the units exhaust to create a airfoil on which it glides across the floor. What to do with the dirt the vacuum cleaner sucks up has been a problem and from filtering bags to the newer bagless vacuum cleaner, this part of the process has also undergone some changes over the years.

Different Type of Vacuum Cleaners are:

· Cyclonic Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

· Upright Vacuum Cleaner

· Canister Vacuum Cleaner

· Hepa Vacuum Cleaner

· Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

. Build-in or Central

. Robotic vacs

. Drum Vacuums

You can’t tell which one is the best vacuum cleaner, because it depends on your needs and situation.

Which Factors measure Vacuum Cleaner Power? Today’s vacuum cleaner has come a long way in terms of suction power and many different designs have been introduced to provide the most suction. The power of the unit, typically indicated by the amperage required to provide peak suction, can be misleading in some instances. The industry notes the higher the Amp rating of the vacuum cleaner the better suction the machine is capable of creating. However, there are other variable that determine the cleaning capability of a vacuum cleaner, including the condition of the brushes in the beater bar, how tightly the suction head can adhere to the ground and the type of dirt and debris it is attempting to lift off the surface. Another part that plays big role in the power of Hoover is filtering system. The filtering system traps dust and dirt after sucking up and then doesn’t allow them to blow back. The research shows the vacuum cleaners can kill %95-100 fleas, depends on the engine and sucking power. This invention was a great victory for human against dust and dirt.

The cleaning power of vacuum cleaners measure by this formula:

cleaning power (air watts) = airflow (CFM) × suction (inches of water) / 8.5
