Vacuum Technology

Many older commercials and television shows depict women vacuuming and doing other cleaning chores. The technology that vacuum cleaner companies use, though, has come a very long way since those days. In the past there was only one type of vacuum cleaner to use, and no matter what needed to be cleaned ? rugs, flooring, draperies, or upholstery ? that was the cleaning machine that was used. That was convenient in some ways, and very problematic in others.

It was definitely beneficial to the wallet because a person only had to spend money on one type of cleaner for all jobs. Not having options, though, can mean that some cleaning jobs either do not get done, or do not get done as quickly or as thoroughly as they should. The way that homes are designed and constructed has changed over time, and what kind of technology is used to clean them has also changed to keep up with the needs of the people who clean homes.
There are many vacuum cleaners now that are bagless, and they are gaining in popularity because a lot of people think that it is less messy to empty a small container than to throw away and replace a bag. A lot of people are buying bagless vacuums today and they seem to work well, but not everyone agrees that they are better. They are often not any more expensive than a comparable model that uses bags, so people can make a choice that is right for them when it comes to a vacuum cleaner.

There are many other choices for people besides whether they want bagged or bagless for their vacuum. There are also a lot of different options when it comes to the attachments and the motor. There are also both upright and canister vacuums, and they are used for vastly different types of cleaning jobs. It is important before buying any vacuum to find out which one will be best suited to the needs of the person using it.
Although much improved with time, canister vacuums are still more similar to older vacuums. They are used for homes that have hardwood and/or tile floors and area rugs, as well as being used on draperies and upholstery. Since canister vacuums do not have the suction power needed for wall to wall carpet, upright vacuums are used for that application. The suction that an upright vacuum has is too strong for draperies and delicate upholstery, so it cannot be used for those things.

Depending on the belongings and type of home a person has, he or she may have more than one type of vacuum, but most people use either one type or the other, not both. Usually, they can find one style that handles all of the needs that they have. In order to get the right cleaning machine the first time, it is important for a person to know about vacuum technology and the changes that have taken place in that field.
