Vacuum Cleaner

June 19th, 2010 | Posted in vacuums   Comments Off
Vinnit asked:


With growing technological advancements, day today house cleaning has also become very advanced. Vacuum cleaners are such devices which are used to clean the dirt and dust from the surfaces.

When you are planning to buy vacuum cleaners, it is important to know certain things about these devices. A vacuum cleaner works with a simple and basic mechanism of suction. For instance, when you suck a drink through a straw, there creates a difference in pressure at the bottom and top of the straw. The drink gets pushed to the top with more pressure at the bottom than top. It is this same mechanism which works in a vacuum cleaner. Though the mechanism is simple, but practically it is more complex to work as an effective cleaner at house.

A basic vacuum cleaner is comprised of six components which are essential. These components include an intake port, exhaust port, fan, electric motor, a porous bag and a housing which contains other components. This device makes use of an air pump which creates a partial vacuum to suck up the dirt and dust from the surface it is targeted at. A filtering system collects this dirt for later disposal.

To get the latest vacuum cleaner which is suitable for your requirements, you need to know about its various configurations. Vacuum cleaners can be Upright Vacuum Cleaners, Canister vacuum cleaners, Wet vacs or wet/dry vacuums, Pneumatic vacs or Pneumatic wet/dry vacuums, Back-pack vacs, Built-in or central vacuum cleaners, Robotic vacuum cleaners, Small hand-held vacuum cleaners and drum vacuum cleaners. Vacuum cleaners are efficient enough to reach those surfaces which are inaccessible otherwise. To make this possible, vacuum cleaners come with various specialized attachments, brushes, tools and extension wards.

To know about the performance of a vacuum cleaner, there are many parameters which need to be considered. These parameters include airflow (in cubic feet per minute), air speed (in miles per hour or meters per second), suction, vacuum or water lift (in inches of water).Suction is the important parameter as more the suction rating, more efficient is the cleaner. A typical vacuum cleaner used for domestic purpose normally has a suction of about negative 20kPa. Almost all the vacuum cleaners use AC power for functioning but few smaller, hand-held vacuum cleaner models run on battery. These are portable, light weight and rechargeable models used for cleaning cars.

You can buy these devices from real stores or online Vacuum Cleaner stores. Before any purchase, make it a point to read about various reviews found online. It helps make a better choice.

How to evacuate and “pull” vacuum on an R134a car AC system

June 19th, 2010 | Posted in vacuums   Comments Off
mikecarter79 asked:


Proper way to “pull” a vacuum from a discharged auto AC system. This applies to the newer R134a refrigerant systems as well as the older R12 systems. It is not only necessary, but critical that you evacuate your AC system IF it has been opened to the atmoshere. However, if you are just adding additional R134A Freon to your system, evacuation is not required. Automotive A/C Vacuum Pumps are used to remove air and moisture from an A/C system that has been worked on. If, for example, the A/C system has been repaired(compressor, condensor, evaporator, accummulator,or whatever), this is when evacuation is required. During evacuation, the air is removed from the a/c system and at 28″ pounds of vacuum, the moisture begins to boil. The moisture now becomes vapor and is drawn out of the system by the vacuum pump. At the end of the evacuation, you have a system that is free of any air or moisture. If you do not evacuate your system prior to charge, it may work for awhile, but the moisture will eventually cause corrosion and other unwanted chemical reactions in your A/C system. This will shorten the operating life of your A/C system.

What is the best vacuum for overall duties?

June 19th, 2010 | Posted in vacuums   Comments Off
VixenMom asked:


I pose this question to mothers because you know how important a vacuum can be when you have toddlers and children. I’m trying to find the best vacuum… and I don’t care about cost. My house has marble & granite floors, ceramic tile, and wood floors… with area rugs throughout. I’ve been forever looking for the best vacuum for all my needs. One that has good suction, has easy onboard tools that actually meet all needs, has a long enough hose that when being used, doesn’t tip the vacuum over. I don’t care if it’s with bag or bagless.
I have owned a kirby, a red devil, a Euro-Pro (love it but isn’t versatile enough), and currently wasted money on the Eureka Ultima (because it had the dusting wand… what a waste). I would like the advice of people who’ve had their vacuums for some time… not just bought it recently… since they all seem to be fine right out of the box. I’ve heard Dyson is good… but I’ve also read reviews that said it sucked. Only experience can tell.

Royal Vacuums - Who Gets the Royal Vacuum Cleaner During a Break Up?

June 18th, 2010 | Posted in vacuums   Comments Off
Jackson McTwiddle asked:


Royal Appliances is an old household name, and has been around for a long while, and is also believed to be one of the world’s first, in manufacturing vacuum cleaners. Royal vacuum cleaners are high quality machines, and are built to last. As they like to say “Built for life”, well that may not be too far from the truth. Royal’s vacuum cleaners have been found to be extremely durable and more reliable then most vacuum cleaners in the market. One of the many advantages you will get, if you choose to bring home a royal vacuum cleaner from Bank’s Vacuum Super Stores.

While choosing from the wide variety of Royal vacuum Cleaners, you are bound to come across the Royal Eminence Upright Vacuum cleaner. This is a good all round vacuum cleaner, with a formidable 12 amp motor, providing you with enough cleaning power to rave havoc. It has a conveniently placed power, on and off button, which allows for quick bursts of cleaning, which can save both time and effort. The non-marring wheels help it stay on course, while cleaning and it is fit with a HEPA filter that will ensure that you just need to go over once.

If you are looking for something more versatile, the Royal Lightweight All Metal Upright Vacuum cleaner would probably be your best bet. The All Metal upright is powered by a 7 amp motor, which in no means implies lack of ability, as a matter of fact the All Metal, more than compensates in other areas. It comes with a 3 year factory warranty, and has been fit with a microtex outer bag with extra storage space. This lightweight is quite a joy to spin around the house with, as it dances on the floor with the greatest of ease, and the handle grip design only makes your job much more comfortable.

Another Royal Lightweight All Metal Upright Vacuum cleaner worth mentioning is the Royal RY8600. It has the same light maneuverability as its little brother, but is built in with a powerful 10 amp motor, and has a unique combination of HEPA and MICROFRESH filtration systems. This merger, results in the complete eradication of any sort of contamination, it is said to be up to 99.9%, making it an ideal choice for reducing allergens and dust particles. This Royal vacuum comes with an unbelievable warranty of seven years! Now that’s saying something.

If you want to experience Royal vacuum cleaners at their finest, you have to consider the Royal Lightweight Everlast All Metal 8 Amp Upright Vacuum cleaner, that can be found at the Bank’s Vacuum Super Stores. As the name indicates, it has an 8 amp motor, and has a unique nozzle that automatically adjusts to the height of the surface, so when changing from floor to carpet, you do not have to do a thing. There is a Brush light sensor, which indicates when it is time to change the belt or the filter, ensuring a tension free cleaning session. The Royal Everlast might be just what you are looking for, in your quest for ultimate home cleanliness.

I have a question about bagless vacuum cleaners?

June 16th, 2010 | Posted in vacuums   Comments Off
ShineOn asked:


Hi. I can’t find the papers on my bagless vacuum cleaner and was wondering if it is okay to spray the carpet cleaner on and then vacuum with a “bagless” vacuum cleaner. I can’t really imagine what it would hurt since the only real difference I can see is that all of the dirt is going to a container instead of a bag. Thanks everyone…I haven’t had this all that long and didn’t want to do something that would damage my vacuum, so if you have a bagless vacuum and have done this or if you know something about them….please respond. I really appreciate it.
