Everything that a vacuum picks up, no matter what
type it may be, needs to be deposited somewhere -
normally in a vacuum cleaner bag.

Back in 1920, the Air Way Sanitizer Company of
Ohio introduced the first vacuum cleaner with a
disposable vacuum bag. Until that time, the bags
for vacuum cleaners resembled the type of bags that
golfers used to carry their clubs. They were
somewhat heavy and awkard devices made out of
thick, stiff canvas, designed to be very flexible
and still keep dust and debris from the carpets
from escaping out into the air.

The improvements made by the Air Way Sanitizer
disposable vacuum bag went a long way toward
improving the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaner.
Made out of paper, the bag was designed to fit
inside of the cloth bag. Not only did it make
cleaning the vacuum easier, but it also kept the
insides of the stationary bag clean at all times
so that less of the dust and debris could be
blown out of the vacuum and make its way through
the home again.

In the beginning, each manufacturer designed
their own disposable vacuum cleaner bag made out
of different types of paper. You couldn’t
interchange the bags from one machine to the next,
as the fittings were different sizes with
different configurations for the opening of the
intake. Manufacturers who were once very
dependant on the sales of their machines had now
discovered an entirely new territory for the
disposable bags, and once again sales went through
the roof.

Before, a housewife had her vacuum cleaner and
the only thing it needed was to be cleaned and
serviced every now and then. If the man of the
house was around, the job normally went to him.
After a while, repair shops that specialized in
vacuum cleaners began to pop up all over the
place.

These days, there are very few vacuum cleaners
that use bags. Bagless is the way to go these days,
and for good reason. What was once a revolution
in household cleaning, is now rapidly fading away
and fast.

Models such as the Cyclone or Dirt Devil, are
now using cylinder technology to store the dirt
and dust. When you have finished vacuuming, you
simply empty the cylinder into the trash. Vacuum
bags can be very frustrating, which is why
millions of people are using bagless vacuums.

If you own a vacuum cleaner that uses bags, you
should look into upgrading it. Bagless vacuums
will save you time, money, and replacement. If
you’ve grown tired of the bags, now is the time
to get a better vacuum.

Not only do the bagless models have more power,
but they will also save you quite a few trips to
the store and the closet. They don’t cost a lot
of money either, and they are the perfect addition
to any household.

A vacuum cleaner is an absolute must have home
appliance these days. All of us rely on our vacuum
cleaner to help keep our homes free of dirt and dust,
although how we go about it sometimes, doesn’t
give a lot of thought as to how efficient the
vacuum cleaner really is.

Before electric vacuums were created, home cleaning
was a tedious task. Back then, floors had to be
cleaned with brushes, mops, and brooms. Rugs and
carpets had to be removed from the floor, hung up
outdoors, and beaten to get the dust out. Doing
things this way involved a lot of time and effort
and caused many health complaints.

The earlier inventions of non electric floor cleaning
devices made home cleaning much easier. People
started to look for ways to improve on the efficiency
of these machines, which caused all types of
contraptions to be invented.

Throughout the 100 year history of the vacuum cleaner,
there have been all sorts of improvements. The
very first electric vacuums were created in the
early 1900s. In 1908, the Hoover Company built
the first electric vacuum cleaner that used a cloth
filter bag and cleaning attachments as well.

During the years that followed, many different
designs and models were created, each one varying
in weight, size, suction power, performance, and
other features. With all of the designs that came
out, the upright vacuum cleaner remained to be the
most popular.

The latest upright vacuums that are available today
will make cleaning a whole lot easier. They are
very light and versatile, and come in both bagged
and bagless designs. They also include tools that
will help you remove dust from drapes, upholstery,
and even get tricky and hard to reach places.

By owning a bagless vacuum, you won’t ever have
to buy vacuum bags again. When it comes time to
empty the dirt container, you can empty it right
into your garbage can.

You’ll want to do this out in your yard or on the
street in order to prevent the dust from getting
back into your house. If you suffer from allergies,
it’s best to stay with a bagged unit. With bagged
vacuum cleaners, the dust will stay in a sealed
bag and then when it gets full, you can easily
dispose of it without being exposed to dust.

When you buy a vacuum cleaner, it’s very important
to choose the best vacuum that will fit your home
cleaning needs. You’ll also need to think about
carpets and rugs, hard floors, even stairs before
you purchase your vacuum. This way, you’ll be
able to get the right vacuum with the right
accessories for the job – which will save you a lot
of time and effort when the time comes to clean your
home.

The vacuum cleaner is a truly amazing piece of
equipment, as it would be very hard to cope without
one. There are many people out there who prefer
domestic vacuum cleaners for carpeted floors in
their home.

No matter how you look at it, the vacuum cleaner is
an ingenious piece of equipment. It has an air
pump that creates a partial vacuum to suck up the
dust and dirt, which it collects by a filtering
system or a cyclone to dispose of later.

Vacuum cleaner types
Based on their configurations, there are many types
of vacuum cleans. The following are some of the
most known types of vacuum cleaners.

Bagless
Bagless vacuum cleaners, as the name implies, don’t
use bags. They collect the dust in a compartment
which you can quickly and easily empty. This will
save you from the headache of dealing with messy
and frustrating vacuum bags.

Upright
Upright vacuum cleaners have the pump mounted
directly above the suction intake, with the bag
mounted on the handle that will normally rise to
waist height. The designs of upright vacuum cleaners
will normally employ mechanical beaters, which
are often rotating brushes, to help dust that has
yet to settle be vacuumed up. An attached belt to
the vacuum motor will drive these beaters.

Canister types
Canister vacuum cleaners have the motor and the
bag in a separate cylinder unit that is connected
to the vacuum head by a long flexible hose. Even
though the upright units have been tested as being
more effective, the lighter and more maneuverable
heads of the canister are also popular. There are
some canister models on the market that feature
power heads which contain the same type of beaters
as found with upright units, even though those
types of beaters are driven by a seperate electric
motor.

Backpack
Backpack vacuums are a great tool for commercial
type cleaning. Backpack vacuums will allow you to
move around rapidly in a large area. It is
basically a canister vacuum cleaner, except for the
fact that the straps are used to carry the canister
unit on your back.

Central vacuum
A central or built in vacuum cleaner has the suction
motor and bag based in a central location of the
building, providing vacuum inlets at strategic
places throughout the building. This way, you only
need to carry the hose and pickup head from room
to room. The hose is normally 25 foot long,
allowing a large range of movement without having
to change vacuum inlets.

A plastic pipe will connect the vacuum outlets to
the central unit. The head of the vacuum may
either by un-powered or have beaters that are operated
by an air driven or electric motor. The dirt bags
in central systems are so big that you only need
to change or empty them once or twice a year.

Robotic
Robot type vacuum cleaners will move around your
home, cleaning as they wish. They are compact and
powered by batteries.

Hand held
Hand held vacuum cleaners are very small and powered
by either batteries or electricity, and very popular
with cleaning up small spills.

Wet or dry vacs
Wet or dry vacuum systems can be used to clean up
both wet and dry spills and dirt.

Vacuums are very helpful with protecting yourself
and your family from dust particles. They are also
helpful for those who suffer from allergies that
result from dirt and dust. Before you buy a vacuum
cleaner, you should always read some reviews and
find out other information to ensure that the vacuum
cleaner you buy will meet your needs.
