Most Commonly Asked Vacuum Cleaner Questions Q) Which Is The Best
Type Of Vacuum Cleaner? A) It really is a
case of horses for courses; you wouldn't buy a sports car to pull a caravan,
therefore what is suitable for a light domestic use would be totally unsuitable for a
hotel or restaurant. A flat or house would find a compact Domestic Vacuum Cleaner such as a lightweight upright or cylinder
vacuum adequate for the job while larger commercial premises would benefit from
using a robust Commercial Vacuum Cleaner designed to withstand the vigour’s of heavy day to day use. Also,
what needs to be considered is the environment which the vacuum cleaner is
being used, is the vacuum for carpets, hard floor, both, are there pets,
children etc.
An established
reputable vacuum cleaner shop would be able to advise what vacuum cleaner is
best suited to individual needs and provide good service back up if needed.
Q) Which Are The Best,
Bagged Or Bagless Vacuum Cleaners? A) Both types have
their benefits, for some people emptying the contents of a bagless cyclone into
the refuse bin is quick and convenient however some simply prefer taking a dust
bag out of a vacuum and replacing with a new one. There is also the cost and
inconvenience of purchasing bags however what many people also need to take
into consideration is that bagless cyclone vacuums also need their filters
cleaning or even replacing periodically.

Q) Cordless Hand Held
Vacuum Cleaners, How Good Are They? A) Cordless hand
held vacuums have very much improved since they were first introduced some
years back; they are generally lighter and have much better performance than
the early versions. However Cordless battery
operated vacuums sometimes lack the power to handle heavier debris that
conventional mains operated vacuum cleaners can. They also have limits when
used to clean larger areas due to the running time of the rechargeable battery.
On the plus side Cordless vacuums can be a very quick and convenient way to clean both hard floor and carpeted areas even with their limitations.
Q) Why Has My Vacuum
Cleaner Stopped Working? A) When a vacuum
cleaner stops working completely it is usually down to an open circuit
electrical fault. Most vacuums cleaners have an internal electrical component
called a T.O.C (Thermal Overload Cut-out). This is device is usually fitted
within the proximity of the motor and is designed to protect the motor by
switching the vacuum cleaner off in the event of overheating.
Other faults that
can cause a vacuum cleaner to stop completely can be faulty components such as
a break in the mains flex, faulty switches, motor or worn carbon brushes etc.
Q) Why Is My Vacuum
Cleaner Overheating? A) When a vacuum
cleaner overheats , it can be down to a number of reasons, the most common
are…
Clogged filters. Full vacuum cleaner bag or cyclone bin. Blockages inside the attachment hose. Blockages inside the vacuum cleaner
compartments (care should be taken investigating this) Faulty electrical component such as motor
(Only a suitably qualified person should investigate this)
If all these issues
have been checked and the fault still occurs then it is advised to contact a
reputable vacuum cleaner repair shop.

several reasons but the most common are…
Snapped or worn
drive belt. Clogged filters. Full vacuum
cleaner bag or cyclone bin. Blockages inside
the attachment hose. Blockages inside the
vacuum cleaner compartments (care should be taken investigating this)
If all these issues
have been checked and the fault still occurs then it is advised to contact a
reputable vacuum cleaner repair shop.
Q) Why Does My Vacuum
Cleaner Smell? A) There are
various reasons a vacuum cleaner can develop unpleasant odours. Obvious reasons
can be that an unpleasant smelling object has been vacuumed into the cleaner.
Other less likely causes can be damp; this can be the result of either vacuuming
up a liquid which when not allowed to dry causes a very unpleasant odour.
Even water can be
quite pungent if left to fester in the filters and bag compartments etc. Quite
often when filters are washed and not allowed to dry thoroughly they also can develop
a very disagreeable aroma especially when the vacuum is switched on. If this is
the case it is often necessary to replace the filters.
Q) How Often Should A
Vacuum Cleaner Be Serviced? A) As a rule of
thumb most vacuum cleaners
benefit from an annual service but this depends on the types of vacuum cleaner
and how often it is used as some commercial vacuums need twice yearly service.

information.
