Q:Skimmers are machines like vacuum cleaners that pull up the oil from the surface of the water. The water must be calm in order for skimmers to be effective.

Skimmers are similar to vacuum cleaners, but instead of sucking up dirt from hard surfaces, they suck up oil from the surface of water. The water needs to be calm in order for skimmers to be effective.

Q:I have 6 cats and need a vacuum cleaner that the filter is not going to stop up every few minutes. I have gone through 3 bagless vacuum cleaners in the last few months but they have been vaccums from walmart like eureka and such. I can vacuum over a small piece of trash in the living room and the vacuum just pushes the trash around, lol. Help!

Hi, okorder . I got my machine on phone special too.

Q:How do they suck up the dirt? I have always wondered this. How does a vacuum work?

The industrial vacuum cleaner has developed over the years into a sophisticated piece of cleaning equipment for a variety of applications. The principle of the vacuum cleaner is the same across the range, in that a pump creates a partial vacuum within the machine to pick up the dirt. Having said that, the range of machines is vast with machines capable of dealing with hazardous or explosive dust in difficult environments, and machines with complex filtration systems.

Q:I need a vacuum cleaner that can clean pet messes such as urine, but also clean human messes such as rice vegetables and dirt, I don't want a too heavy vacuum it has to be pretty light but powerful and from 60 to a little over a 100 dollars, thank you :)

Dyson is the only good brand

Q:What kind of power inverter can handle a house vacuum cleaner?

Vacuum cleaners need power inverters that can handle the start-up and running surge. This is why we really like to get the specs of the unit you hope to use in your mobile application. Here is a sample setup for a 6.5 HP Vacuum Cleaner. Electrical Rating: 120V~60Hz - 11 amps 11 Amps X 120 Volts = 1320 Watt Load I always try to add an extra 30% to any motorized loads. 1320 Watts X 1.3 = 1716 Watts So on this vacuum cleaner I would recommend the following inverters: 1750 Watt Vacuum Cleaner Heavy Duty Inverter 2000 Watt Sine Wave Inverter for Vacuum Cleaner Applications

Q:Any information you can provide about these models would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Have a wonderful day.

IEC stands for Interstate Engineering Corporation. This is the original manufacturer of the Compact and TriStar vacuum cleaners. The Compact began selling the C1 model in 1946 and continued with model updates until 1981 ending with the C9. In 1982, it was rebranded as the TriStar and the model was the CXL. The CXL model sold until the mid 1990 s. After that, the model changed to DXL. These sold until 1998. The biggest differences between the CXL and the DXL are the Turbo Brush carpet cleaning tool and the filtration system. The DXL introduced a new, more practical Filter Fresh sub-micron filtration system. These filters can still be purchased today. The older CXL filters are obsolete and cannot be replaced. The good news is... the DXL Filter Fresh filters are reverse compatible and will work on almost any Compact or TriStar manufactured between 1973 - 1998. The DXL also changed the drive of the Turbo Brush from a flat, smooth belt that slips to a geared belt that shuts off automatically with the help of a computer circuit board that tells the motor to shut off if something gets caught in the brushes. The machine was totally redesigned and was released in 1999. It was called the EXL. The only parts that are interchangeable between the pre and post 1999 models are the wheels and the bags. Although both use the same cyclonic dirt bagging system, the machines themselves are almost totally different.

Q:I have a 1,200 square foot house and a dog that sheds a lot. I used the Swivel Sweeper 360 G2, and it sucks! I used it on rugs and my hardwood floors. I have hardwood floors throughout my house and some rugs in some of the rooms. I know attachments would help for the small areas like under the desks and TV stand. I need to find a good vacuum to buy and use for my house. I have no ides what is the best for my needs, there are so many to choose from. Please any advice would be very helpful!!!

You want a vacuum that disconnects the beater bar underneath so it doesn't beat the wood floors and damage them. Most canisters have different heads...one for carpets, one for hard floors--no beater bar just suction with brush fittings to keep from maring the floor. . I love uprights for carpets, but for hard floors, tile, etc I want a lower profile vacuum--one that sits lower to the ground. The Sears Precision canisters are pretty good. I've gone with the cheap Dirt Devils and tossed them into the trash......waste of money.

Q:Hello,I am looking for best vacuum cleaner. I have both carpet hardwood floors in my home. Also a month old baby. Which ones are the best in terms of efficiency and low maintenance. whether it be the central vac, or the standard ? my budget is flexible as I know you get what you pay for.Thanks for your time.

Hello, I work for a vacuum shop and i would suggest a central vacuum system, if you can afford it. They are by far more efficient and the only vacuum that removes the dirt, dust, allergents etc completly from your home. Traditional vacuums, even the best ones will allow those things to recirculate back into the air. If a central vacuum is something you dont want to do, then i would suggest a Miele canister. Very lightweight, quiet, great filtration and easy to use. There a bit pricey, but worth it. German made, 7 year warranty and specific tools for bare floors and carpeting. Check ouy the source links to find out more. A lot of good information to research there.

Q:What Are The Best Quality Vacuums In The Market? ?

Don't get a Dsyon. Costs to much or is cheaply made. We brought ours home and true nearly sucked the carpet off the floor but has already broken once and (if you ask me) is losing suction. Buy an old Hoover, I mean an OLD Hoover. Those go forever and are dirt cheep.
