Frequently Asked Questions
Common vacuum attachments include a crevice tool for tight spaces, a dusting brush for delicate surfaces, an upholstery tool for furniture, and extension wands for added reach.
The most common problems for a vacuum cleaner are loss of suction power and blockages caused by clogged filters, a full bag, or obstructions in the hose.
You should always dust surfaces first, allowing the debris to fall to the floor, and then vacuum up the settled dust as the final step.
Key specifications to look for include airflow (CFM), suction power (Air Watts), a HEPA-rated filtration system for allergies, and sufficient capacity for your cleaning needs.
Vacuum pressure is primarily affected by motor power, airflow restrictions caused by clogs or filters, and air leaks in the system seals or hose.
A vacuum loses suction when airflow is obstructed by a full bag, clogged filters, blockages in the hose, air leaks, or a damaged motor/impeller.
