Vacuum Cleaner Reviews

Archive for the ‘Questions & Answers’ Category

There’s a tv commercial where a woman is vacuuming her house and her husband is outside on a ladder by the window. Well then he starts to fall and she pulls the attachment out of the vacuum and sucks him back towards the house so he doesn’t fall.
Does anybody know what vacuum that commercial is for? I need a new vacuum and was interested in that one. Obviously I know you can’t suck people out of the air but I want to check it out.
Thanks!

I am unfamiliar with vacuum cleaner brands or even if vacuum cleaners work on concrete flooring. Basically I am looking for something that will get all the dust and dirt up without having to mop every other week.

I have been trying to research the best vacuum for picking up cat hair, and the reviews are all over the place. Even the most expensive varieties don’t seem to always work. I have multiple sclerosis, so my arms get tired quickly. It is so frustrating to watch my vacuum roll repeatedly over one piece of cat hair without picking it up! Please help! Thanks in advance.

I break 2 to 3 vacuums a year. I sew in 3 different rooms in house and i have threads everywhere. I bought a push restaurant type of broom to pick up most threads but there is still a lot left. The threads tangle on the brush rollers of vacuum. I clean these twice every time i use it but it will eventually freeze up and i burn up another motor. I now buy very cheap models since i break them. Any ideas on models or techniques on cleaning brush rollers of threads and dog hair?

The model is a Hoover Dimension 1000 vacuum cleaner type canister.
The cord is tangled up inside so I can no pull out the plug. I can’t figure out how to take it apart so I can untangle it.

My vacuum (hoover bagless) had no suction so I turned it over and found a mess of a clog just behind the beater bar. I took it apart and cleaned it out and found there is a flap just at the beginning of the hose. I pushed it with a screw driver and it does move open but not easily. I have to push pretty hard to get it to move. Does anyone know what function this flap has? Can I remove it somehow or would that ruin my vacuum?

The gap between outer and inner walls of vacuum flask is 1cm.
Before the flask was evacuated, the air between the walls was at normal pressure 100kPa and the flask was losing heat at rate 100W.
After air was evacuated and the flask was sealed, the flask is losing heat at rate 0.1W.
Assuming that all heat transfer is due to heat conductivity of residiul air only, ESTIMATE the pressure of residual air between the walls of the flask.

I have a tropical tank with sand at the bottom. I need to vacuum it as it is becoming quite dirty with fish poo, food remains and bits of leaves etc. I have a tank vacuum cleaner, but when i have tried to use it in the past it just sucks up the sand as well as everything else. Any ideas?

I am looking to purchase a canister vacuum for our home with mostly hard wood flooring and have gone to several vacuum shops to try out different vacuums and was told today that the Miele brand vacuums may be quiet but are not powerful at all. Miele had been my first choice because they are very quiet but after the sales reps spill today I’m not so sure. Just wanted to see what others thought before I purchase. Any thoughts or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking to purchase a vacuum that will vacuum my carpet and shampoo my carpet when needed, but is 1 vacuum. I don’t want to have to buy 2 seperate vacuums if there is one that does both. Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
