Q:I am planning to buy a vaccum cleaner to my home. What do you guys think having a portable one rather than the normal heavy kind?Any idea about the price of an average one?

A bad idea. I think Dyson make the best vacuum cleaners and there not too heavy if weight is an issue. Portable models often lack the power to clean well or quickly, and in the end when your cleaning those two reasons should direct your purchase.

Q:Your Open QuestionShow me another ? Professional House Cleaners only Please answer question about Commercial Vacuum cleaners?I have a house cleaning business, we clean 2 homes a day and after buying 14 vacuum cleaners in the past 2 years I am done with spending money on vacuums that don't hold up or are 2 heavy or have so many filters to clean that you spend your evenings doing that. Does anyone have any suggestions on what vacuum we should buy? Just like you the house's we clean have an array of flooring, wood, tile, oriental rugs, carpet.Please help with your experience Thanks!!

I have had the same issues time and time again, either too heavy, won't fit under furniture, hoses tear, too may filters and like you tired of replacing them. I purchased a Dyson about a year ago and it has not lost suction yet. I use it everyday it only needs one filter and I wash it out as directed which is perfect for me. The extension pole on it is great too for getting dusty spots and spiderwebs. I comes with a lot of different attachments so i can manage multiple surfaces. I will never buy another vacuum brand.

Q:The line graph shows the typical daily electricity demand in England during the winter and summer season, while the pie chart illustrates the different proportions of electricity used for the most frequent activities in an average English home.Comparing the two trends of electricity demand in the first graph, it is evident that during winter the electricity consumption doubles. Over the day, during either summer or winter, the lowest levels are recorded in the morning, between 8:00 a.m. and 9.00 p.m. Conversely, the peak hours are different between the two periods.

try and write it like this: The line graph shows the typical daily electricity demand in England during the winter and summer season, while the pie chart illustrates the different proportions of electricity used for the most frequent activities in an average English home. Comparing the two trends of electricity demand in the first graph, it is evident that during winter the electricity consumption doubles. Over the day, during either summer or winter, the lowest levels are recorded in the morning, between 8:00 a.m. and 9.00 p.m. Conversely, the peak hours are different between the two periods. During the summer, electricity consumption peaks around 10:00 P.M; during winter the highest levels of demand are reached both in the afternoon at 4 p.m. and in the evening at 10:00 p.m. The pie chart shows that heating is by far the most electricity-consuming activity in an average English house (52.5 %). Clearly, this figure explains the reason why the electricity demand is higher during the small spans of time previously mentioned in the graph. The rest of the activities and devices used in the house, such as ovens, lighting and vacuum cleaners, use almost the same proportion of electricity, less than 16 %.

Q:my sister has guinea pigs, and it is so hard to live sometimes because they make my eyes itch so much! so anyway.. what are those machines called they cleans the air you breathe? thank you so much!

Q:i need something cheap too

With allergies, buy any one in your price range as long as it has a hepa filter. They filter finer particles than a regular filtered vac. For a reasonably priced name for a starter vac, check the Dirt Devil brands

Q:I dont mean rugs, I realize they have been around for centuries. I mean wall to wall carpet, installed on the floor of a home with tack strips, not able to be easily removed to be cleaned.I am curious about specific timing, of when home vacuum cleaners became widely available, and when wall to wall carpet became popular. My mother tells me it was sometime in the 1950s.We were having a debate of whether or not the invention of the vacuum facilitated the popularity of home carpeting, (which is what I think), or if the desire for full home carpeting prompted the production and sales for home vacuum cleaners.I mean, it would make no sense to put a floor thats not easily cleaned in a home right? Therefore the vacuum must have been pretty available before the first home carpeting went in right?

The okorder / I understand that wall to wall carpeting is definitely different now than in the Middle Ages. I would still have to say that carpet wins. People liked carpet because it looked and felt nice but it got dirty. So some genius thought there has to be a better way than to throw it out. I got an idea! Looking at the history of vacuums the manual ones would have SUCKED.

Q:I am looking for a good price for a store bought vacuum. Nothing too expensive, but something that is great for picking things up. -Light-Weight.-Affordable.-With a hose.

About $40-50 at Walmart, and they work as well as the expensive ones.

Q:What kind of vacuum cleaners get around baseboards the best? Mine does ok with the floors but the edge cleaner is bad.

I use a feather duster on the base boards, then follow through with an upright Sears vacuum cleaner model 36720. I give up on expensive vacuum cleaners many years back.

Q:How have machines been harmful AND helpful to our society?

Vacuum cleaners. Helpful because they suck up all the dust and that's a good thing. Harmful, because I have to spend at least an hour a week going round my house with one when I could be doing something way more interesting.
