Question:
Will lowering the vacuum height closer to the carpet pickup
more?
Answer:
Running your vacuum too low on the carpet height position
makes a vacuum clean less, and puts strain on your belts. (HINT)
Start your carpet height on its highest position, turn the vacuum on and
move down until you hear the vacuum change pitch. That's the right carpet
height.
Question:
What causes vacuums to be loud or noisy?
Answer:
- Broken fan
- Bad brush roller
- Bad motor bearings
- Vacuum clogged up
Question:
Does higher amperage mean more power?
Answer:
Not necessarily. Amperage denotes how much electricity is
being used. Some vacuums use less electricity but have more powerful motors.
Question:
Why should I spend this much money for a vacuum?
Answer:
You don't have to... as a matter of fact there are vacuums
out there for as little as $50. But look at what you're getting and the
dollars you will spend on replacing that vacuum over and over again (not
to mention repairs). You will spend more in the long run in both time
and money. We believe value is the most important aspect of any purchase,
that's what customers will remember.
Question:
What is better.. a canister or an upright vacuum?
Answer:
It depends. Upright vacuums, with their revolving brushes
were originally designed to clean carpet. And canisters, along with their
tools, were made to clean bare floors. Each was made for a specific type
of cleaning and in the past, families had one of each. Today, uprights
have tools and canisters use power nozzles to clean carpets. So it's confusing.
When making a decision, purchase from someone who is knowledgeable about
what they are selling and make sure they have your best interests in mind...
not theirs.
Question:
I see other vacuums such as Eureka, Hoover and others,
claiming to have HEPA filtration. What is the difference?
Answer:
The difference is quite significant. All vacuums blow out
the same amount of air as they vacuum in. It is absolutely crucial that
the vacuum be sealed so the the only air blowing out of the vacuum, first
passes through the HEPA filter. Other brands leak from 15% - 35% of the
exhaust air (and allergens) before it ever reaches the filter.
Question:
How can I tell if a vacuum has a Sealed System besides having
HEPA Filtration?
Answer:
Very Simply. You need to determine from your vacuum dealer
whether the HEPA vacuum they are selling was designed with HEPA filtration
and a Sealed System in mind, or did the company just modify its vacuum
to accept a HEPA filter without sealing the vacuum first so it could jump
on the allergy bandwagon. To your surprise you will find the latter to
be the case.
