With the creation of the carpet, the invention of the carpet cleaning machine wasn’t far away.  The very first hand held carpet cleaner was designed and tested in Chicago in 1860, while the first power operated vacuum cleaner was invented in the 1900s by Cecil Booth.

Around the same time Cecil Booth finished his invention, a man by the name of James Spangler came up with his own invention – a vacuum cleaner that he later sold to his cousin Hoover.  As everyone knows, Hoover has since became one of the most dominant names in the world of vacuum cleaners and is certainly one of  the most popular household names in the world.

For many housewives, the vacuum cleaner was deemed a blessing, as it helped to keep the house clean in a fraction of the time.  From the beginning, vacuum cleaners were only able to suck up dust and dirt, although with modern technology these days, inventors are able to design wet cleanes that can steam carpets  and kill germs at the same time.

Carpet is capable of covering the floor of a house, flat, or bungalow and keeping people’s feet warm in the winter.  Years ago, people needed to sweep their floors or carpets, but with the invention of the vacuum cleaner, people could easily detract the dust and dirt from their carpets with less effort.  It was also determined that businesses, corporations, and apartments would need someone to clean their carpets as well, so the invention of the commercial carpet cleaner wasn’t far away.

Vacuum cleaners operate by using a pump system. The pumping system will suck up the air from a hose, which will in turn suck up the dirt and dust from anything that stands in front of the house opening.  On the inside, the vacuum cleaner is a filtering system that will collect the dust and dirt that can later be placed outside in the garbage.

Right now, there are seven main types of vacuum cleaners – the upright, canister, back pack style, built in, robotic, hand held, and the wet/dry vacuum cleaners.  These different types of vacuum cleaners are available in a variety of different styles, sizes, and offer various voltage and power sizes as well.

One of the most significant developments in vacuums has been the invention of the very popular cyclone carpet cleaner.  Unlike the previous vacuum cleaners, the cyclone collects dirt and dust in a large cylinder.  The cyclone operates using a central air force and number of filters. The filter will filter the dust and dirt into stages, so that the air being sucked up into the cylinder can be cleaned then released back into the air through a central outlet.

All of us have a special tool lying around the house that we simply cannot live without.  A tool or gadget that makes life a lot easier because it exists.  For many people, this tool or gadget is the hand held vacuum cleaner.  When it comes to cleaning house, this tool is something many people couldn’t live without.

Regardless of the type of home you have, a hand held vacuum cleaner can make life a lot easier.  Whether it’s a tiny apartment or a large mansion, these small cleaners are the perfect way to cope with unexpected spills and not have to worry about dragging a vacuum cleaner around.  Anyone who has messy kids or a messy spouse, hand held vacuum cleaners can help you keep your home spick and span without having to lose your mind in the process.

The truth remains that few of us do housework just for the sake of doing it.  There are a few dedicated souls out there who enjoy all the stretching and exercise that cleaning involves, although the rest of us just go for the results.

A clean and tidy home is very nice, relaxing, and nothing in the world is more frustrating than achieving one only to see all of your hard work being shattered by the falling of crumbs or the spilling of liquid on your freshly vacuumed floor.

The hand held vacuum cleaner will allow you to enjoy the same results without having to do any of the hard work.  Many of us who find peace and tranquility in an organized home will normally hide tools we use to create it out of sight.  Then, when it comes time to clean house, dragging the vacuum out of it’s hiding place can be a chore in its own rights.

For small messes and spills, a pint sized cleaner can help you retain your sense of peace simply because it will help you to realize that the small stuff is just that – small stuff – and nothing more. The tools used to perform common household tasks should be the things you love to use, as this is actually the best way to ensure that the housework will actually get done.

Small portable cleaning devices are the ultimate in friendly cleaning equipment, as they can clean up small messes before they get bigger.  You also don’t have to work all the time either to achieve the clean home you want, you simply need the right tools for the job.

The first time you pick up a handheld vacuum cleaner, you’ll see how something so small in size can make a world of difference.  You’ll cut your vacuum time in half and ensure that your home stays clean all the time – spill free.

Vacuum cleaners are devices that use an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dirt and dust, normally from carpeted floors.  Most homes that have carpet floors have a vacuum for cleaning.  The dirt that is pulled up from the carpet is collected by a filtering system or even a cyclone for later disposal.

There are several type of configurations possible for vacuum cleaners.

Upright
Upright vacuums have the pump mounted directly above the suction intake, with the bag mounted directly on the handle, which will rise to waist height or so. The upright type designs normally employ mechanical beaters which often rotate brushes, to help disturb dust enough to be vacuumed up.  These beaters are
normally driven by a belt that is attached to the vacuum motor.

Canister
Also known as cylinder vacuums, the canister type designs have the motor and bag in a seperate canister unit that connects to the vacuum head by a flexible hose.  Even though upright units have been tested as being more effective, the lighter and more maneuverable heads of the canister models are quite popular.  Some models have power heads, which contain the same type of mechanical beaters found it upright units, although they are driven by a seperate electric motor.

Wet vacs/dry vacs
These types a specialized form of the canister vacuum and they can be used to clean up wet or liquid spills as well.  They will commonly accomodate both wet and dry soilage, with some being equipped with a switch or exhaust port that reverses the flow of air.  This is a very useful function for everything from clearing clogged hoses to blowing dust into a corner for easy collecting.

Back pack vac
These types of vacuums are commonly used for commercial cleaning, as they allow you to move about quickly and efficiently in a large area.  They are basically canister vacuum cleaners, except for the fact that straps are used to carry the canister on your back.

Built in or central
These types of vacuum cleaners will move the suction motor and bag to a central location in the building and provide vacuum inlets at strategic places throughout the entire building.  You only need to carry the hose and pickup head from room to room, while the hose is normally 25 foot long and allows a large range of movement without changing vacuum inlets.

The plastic piping will connect vacuum inlets to the central unit.  The vacuum can either be unpowered or have beaters that are operated by an electric motor or an air driven motor.  The bag in the central vacuum system is normally so big that emptying it or changing needs to be done less as often, sometimes only once a year.

The belts for vacuum cleaners can come in many styles and hundreds of different sizes.  Normally, vacuums use a belt to drive an agitation device, which is also known as a brush roller.  With very few exceptions, most vacuums will use either a flat belt, round belt, or a geared style belt.

The type of belt that your vacuum uses is very important, not only for durability, but performance as well.  The condition and type of belt your vacuum uses will have a lot of impact on the systems ability to clean carpet.  The proper use of agitation is almost 70% of the cleaning ability of a vacuum cleaner.

Suction is also very important.  The suction is what pulls the dirt that is removed from the carpet into the collection area of the vacuum.  The suction, or airflow, is the key when cleaning hard surfaces or when using attachments.  Without suction, a vacuum cleaner could only bring more dirt to the surface of carpet.  Even though both agitation and suction are important with vacuuming, the agitation is what actually cleans them.

Almost all manufacturers use brush rollers that are made of wood, metal, or even plastic that is driven by a suction or brush motor through the use of three different kinds of belts – round, geared, or flat.

The round belts are the earliest type as they were easy to produce and easy to engineer.  The round style, unfortunately, is normally run in the same space as vacuumed dirt.  What this means, is that almost all of the dirt, staples, and hair you vacuum up will pass around the belt; cutting, nicking, or even scratching it along the way.

Vacuum cleaner belts have to stretch quite a long way, placing even more stress on the roller and the motor bearings.  The round belt is still common, and used even today. The flat style of belts are most often run in a circular fashion as well, unlike the twisted route the round belt takes to deliver the performance in the proper direction.

The style allow manufacturers to run the belt off of one side of the brush roller, instead of the center where all of the dirt is.  This is truly a great innovation, as you can eliminate premature failure due to the soil and dirt in the belt path.

The latest belt design is considered to be the best in the industry.  Even though there are many variations out there, the geared belt is the most efficient means to drive a brush.  The geared belt is also known as a positive brush system because the energy of the brush motor is transmitted directly to the brush.

Both the brush and the motor are locked by fixed teeth to each other through a cogged belt without tension.  The resulting direct connection results in higher cleaning efficiency because the brush can be driven at a faster speed regardless of the age of the belt.

The flat style can stretch as they become warm, which will cause them to lose tension.  When you use your vacuum, the belt is always going to stretch.  Believe it or not, it will lose it’s tension the moment you put it up to rest in the closet.

There is however, one real drawback to geared belts – the cost of the vacuum.  Geared belts are normally used on two motor vacuums.  Not only does this require a separate suction and brush motor, but it also requires electronic sensory systems to tell you when something is wrong with the brush.

As with most things in life, there is really nothing free.  The two most claimed advantages to bagless vacuum cleaners were lower operating costs and better performance.  As far as the cost issues go, all vacuums must filter the exhausting air they use to carry the dirt into the collection area, as they would otherwise simply pick the dirt up from the floor and spit it right back out.

Whether you have a bagless HEPA filter, a pre-filter, or disposable bags, they all need to be changed at some point.  With the average life of a vacuum cleaner, you can expect to spend the same on either collection system for filters, but if you value your time, you can expect to spend quite a bit more on
a bagless system.

To keep your bagless vacuum cleaner operating at peak levels, you’ll need to empty the dirt container when it is full and perform regular maintenance on the filter.  The type of filter the vacuum uses will determine just how much service will be required, although most use a pleated HEPA filter.

Cleaning Even though the claim of better airflow performance with bagless vacuums is true in a sense, over the life of the vacuum you’ll get the same, or maybe even better performance from a bagged vacuum cleaner system.

With bagged vacuum cleaners, the performance will start at 100% with each new bag then slowly drop as the bag starts to fill.  Just how quickly the performance drops depends on how well the bag is constructed.  With the average vacuum and the average bag, you may replace the bag every 3 – 4 weeks
with 90% of performance the first week, 70% in weeks 2 and 3, then 50% of less in the fourth week.

The short cycle will insure that you get a 100% peak cleaning every 3 or 4 weeks from the vacuum cleaner.  The filtered cyclonic machines have filters that are designed to last 6 months, 12 months, and even up to 18 months before they need to be replaced.

Pets
If you have dogs or cats, whether you see it or not, almost all domestic animals shed their fur on a regular basis throughout their lives.  Pet owners often wonder as well, which vacuum is the best to remove pet hair.

For pretty much the same reasons that fur sticks to the carpet, it will also stick to your bagless vacuum’s pleated filter cartridge.  The fur will reduce the performance of airflow, and is also a pain in the neck to clean off the filter.

Over time, the fiber that makes up the filter can retain odor from pets, even if you clean the  filter well.  If your filter requires replacing only once a year, you could end up with a vacuum that spits odors that will stink up your house pretty bad.

Bagged up
Those vacuums that use bags will often provide for neat disposal of a full bag.  There are some brands such as BOSCH that actually engineer bag disposal into  the system.  With BOSCH canister vacuums, the replacement of bags is a single dust free step.  The new mega filt bags have a built in closure system that upon removal, will slide shut and trap the dirt and debris inside of the bag, making removal quick and easy.

Still, there are many people out there who love bagless machines.  Bagless vacuums will continue at a slow place to gain market share, and people will continue to buy them.  For many, a bagless vacuum can be the right vacuum to have.

Bags are the technology of the past, while bagless is the technology of the future.  There are many reasons as to why you should go bagless.  For the vacuums  of tomorrow, cylinder and bagless is the key.

The wet/dry vacuum cleaner combination is no longer just for a workshop.  Over the years, the driving technology has improved a great deal, deceasing the loud screeching noises that the vacuums were so very well known for.

When you go out to buy a wet/dry vacuum with both wet and dry features, you’ll need to know some of the details.  The vacuums are available in  a variety of different sizes and HP, ranging from 6 – 22 gallons and 1.5 – 10.5 HP.  The capacity of the wet/dry vacuum should match your needs in the following ways:
1.  Wall mount vacuum cleaners with 1.5 HP and a 1 gallon tank are available for quick and easy cleanup jobs, such as spills.  You can  also hang this type on the wall as well, which will keep it out of your way.
2.  The six gallon vacuum cleaners are ideal for smaller jobs and are easy to maneuver and store than a larger model.  Keep in mind however, that the smaller wet/dry cleaners are much louder and also more prone to tipping over.  The smaller the tank, the more often you will  have to stop and empty it.
3.  Higher capacity models are recommended if you have a workshop or garage where larger spills occur.  A large capacity tank will decrease the number of times that you have to empty the tank.

When you looking for the best wet/dry vacuum for you, you should look for the following options and features:
-  The pleated cartridge filter.  It is reusable and rinseable, and provides more filtration area than the flat filter and it doesn’t need to be removed when you switch from the dry to wet vacuum function.
-  An automatic shut off device is available with most newer vacuum cleaners.  This mechanism will shut off the motor automatically once the tank has become full of water, which will prevent it from overflowing.
-  A wide set of wheels will help to prevent the vacuum from tipping over.
-  There are some of the larger models that have the ability to convert to a leaf blower, which is great if you have a lot of trees in  your yard.
-  Some wet/dry models have a built in pump attachment as well.  This type of attachment will allow the water to be pumped through a garden hose that attaches to the vacuum.
-  A handy drain valve or sprout will make emptying the vacuum cleaner a snap.  If it doesn’t have this feature, you’ll have to remove  the lid and tip the vacuum to the side to empty all of the water.  Depending on how much water you have in the tank, you could easily and accidentally spill it on the floor.  The smaller types of wet/dry vacuums normally don’t have a spout or drain option.
-  Wider hoses and floor nozzles are great to have as well.  The wider the hose and nozzle are, the less likely the vacuum will be to clog up on you.

If they aren’t provided with the vacuum you decided on, you can also purchase the following attachments:
1.  Crevice tool – this handy tool will easily get in tight corners and around floor edges.
2.  Extension wand – this will make the hose longer for hard to reach areas.
3.  Hose couplings – this will join the extension wand to the hose.
4.  Combination nozzle – this helps to alleviate the need of switching nozzles before you switch functions.
5.  Gulper nozzle – this tool is ideal for the wet vacuum function.
6.  Round brush – this nifty little tool is ideal for scrubbing.
7.  Cleaning kit – this kit will include everything you need to clean delicate upholstery and other areas as well.
