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 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.
