Vacuum Cleaner Performance

Vacuum cleaners are basically machines with a power brush that rotates and agitates the carpet loosening the dirt and debris, then it uses airflow pick up all the loose particles. This is the basic operation of a vacuum cleaner. How efficient the vacuum cleaner is at performing these tasks is what we will look at when deciding which vacuum cleaner will have the best performance for our needs.

Filtration is also factor that determines the performance of your vacuum cleaner, if the filter system gets clogged suction power will drop. Bagles vacuums generally have the ability to sustain a higher rate of suction for a longer period then bagged units. If you are looking at vacuum with a bag, check the bag often and replace when it when it gets about 2/3 full. An overfilled bag will reduce the airflow causing a drop in suction and performance. Changing the bag frequently will help ensure that performance is optimized.

Some other factors that determine performance include the ability of the brush roll to effectively agitate the carpet fibers to loosen the dirt. The design structure of the nozzle and the speed at which the air passes through the nozzle also effect performance.
