Vacuum Cleaner

A vacuum cleaner—often called a vacuum or hoover—is an essential home appliance designed to remove dust and debris from floors, upholstery, curtains, and various surfaces using powerful suction. Most models are electrically operated and collect dirt in either a dust bag or a cyclone chamber for easy disposal.

Vacuum cleaners come in a wide range of types for both home and industrial use, including compact handheld units, wheeled canister models, central vacuum systems, heavy-duty industrial machines, and even vacuum trucks for large-scale cleanup. Many specialized shop vacuums can also handle both dry and wet debris.

How the Technology Works

Vacuum cleaners create suction through a pressure difference generated by a motor-powered fan. As the fan lowers the internal pressure, atmospheric pressure pushes air—and dust—into the nozzle and into the collection bag.

Studies show that vacuuming can eliminate 100% of young fleas and up to 96% of adult fleas, highlighting its effectiveness in maintaining hygiene.

Attachments for Versatile Cleaning

Most vacuum cleaners come with multiple attachments to make cleaning easier and more efficient, including:

• Hard floor brush

• Powered floor nozzle

• Dusting brush

• Crevice tool

• Upholstery tool

• Extension wands

These accessories help reach tight spaces and adapt to different surfaces.

Key Specifications to Consider

Performance is typically measured using:

• Airflow (L/s or CFM)

• Air speed (m/s or mph)

• Suction power (Pa or water lift)

Other important specifications include weight, noise levels, power cord length, and hose length. A standard home vacuum offers around 20 kPa suction, powerful enough for everyday cleaning. While watts or amps indicate electricity consumption, they do not reflect actual cleaning effectiveness.

Due to EU regulations, vacuum cleaners above 1600W were banned in 2014 and above 900W from 2017, encouraging energy-efficient designs.
