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?

I would also not recommend getting something too light, meaning it's only meant for small jobs. They generally are built using cheaper or lightweight components that will wear out quickly. Having owned many vacuums over the years, I can tell you that I still prefer a model that uses a bag. Here's why; the bag makes things neater. When it's full, I throw it out. Those models that use a small cup or whatever make a heck of a mess everytime you want to empy it; a big cloud of dust etc. always surrounds the garbage bin. I also find that many of those models require frequent cleaning of the filters, or replacement. The Dyson might be the exception to all this but quite frankly the price is a big barrier for me. My last and current vacuum is an Oreck upright that seems to be very well made and works better than any other model I've ever owned.

Q:I've been reading reviews about vacuum cleaners and seemed to sum it all up pretty good about this one.. anybody got experience with the hoover tempo widepath?

Check out Masons they are experts on vacuum cleaners...

Q:A. Vacuum cleanersB. Electric StovesC. RadiosD. Automobiles

Im just guessing but I would say radios

Q:My Bissell finally died. I used to love Bissell but that was the worst vacuum I had ever bought. I am looking at canister vacuums now. I see the Kenmore has a high rating as well as the Electrolux and the Miele. I want something that will last and has low noise and cleans carpets wonderfully. Any knowledgeable vacuumers out there?

I am not up to date with the new canister models, but have always liked the quality and quietness of the Electrolux models. If you get something like a Hoover upright, you can also buy one of those extra long extra flexible extension hoses and have the advantages of both a canister and an upright in one.

Q:What would you do if your child has phobias of water, darkness, cars, vacuum cleaners and dust?

You didn't mention the age of the child. If the child is a toddler, then I would ask the pediatrician to give you some advise on how to help the child become comfortable. You may have to seek some professional help. The worst thing you can do is try to scare them into not being afraid. These phobias are very real to the child. And how you handle it can determine what type of life they will have. Trust is very important. You can't just say the dark won't hurt you because you don't know the reason they are afraid of it to start with. When I was a child I was afraid of the dark. As I became older, the fear became worse. I had a step mother who was so mean. I had a night light in my room and of course when the bulb would burn out, I was in a panic. She would usually send me to bed in the dark, yelling all the way. Today I realize my home was very safe, But when I was 8'ish, I was afraid of what I could not see. I imagined someone would walk through the wall, and it wasn't until I was an adult and married that I overcame my need to have a night light. By the way, I still don't like spiders. I hope you get the child all the help available. Please be sympathetic and supportive. Your child may overcome these fears, they may never overcome them. Good luck

Q:and which is best

I recently moved to a house that has hardwood floors with area rugs from a fully carpeted house. When my windtunnel stopped working I bought a canister vac with a container I empty when it gets full. I have 1 dog 2 cats so I dump it 2-3 times before I am done vacuming the whole house some furniture. The suction power is lacking alot compared to the bags. I really prefer the bags(in hind sight)

Q:I need a good quality vacuum that is not to expensive. I have a dog so I was thinking a pet hair cleaner. can anyone give me some suggestions?

Depends if you have carpet or hardwood floors. Any vacuum would work as long as you have the 5 or so attachments it comes with. I have 2 cats and a dog, with hardwood floors. I use the upholstery attachment to vacuum the couches and beds, and it works just fine. Just make sure it has an upholstery attachment.

Q:I have noticed that some vacuum cleaners are rated in quot;Airwattsquot;. Now, if you multiply a volume flow rate by a pressure, you get units of kg.m2.s-3. Which are equivalent to Watts:Flow rate = m3.s-1Pressure = Pa = N/m2 = kg.m-1.s-2Product = kg.m2.s-3 = J.s-1 = W.So if you multiply the volume flow rate through a vacuum cleaner by the pressure change it creates, is that the rate at which work is being done to move air through the machine? Is this what quot;Airwattsmeans? And if you then divide this by the power being supplied to the motor, is this giving the efficiency of the machine?

I believe it is similar to mechanical horsepower, which takes into account both speed and torque. In the case of airwatts, it would be the available power to do work, taking into account both the pressure and volume of the airflow, outside of the vacuum motor's fan.

Q:I am planning to get a now dog. Preferably a small breed, and it will be indoors allot. My house is really big. MY question is , will it be a problem if my house is almost always messy? there is allot of trash lyeing around all over the place, bits of paper,cloths hangers, cloths, other trash, toys. Will this is a big deal. I assume it would, but exactly how clean should I be for the new dog ? What kind of stuff is a absolute must to avoid having lying around in the dog's reach ?

ok. That's not so good. You have to clean up everything small, just like with a toddler or baby. They could choke. Also, you must MUST hang up all cords, wires or strings up behind something or up high on a wall. They could bite through them and get electrocuted. NOT GOOD. Also, put up any candy bars, fruit or other people food. It is very bad for dogs to eat. hope this helps! :)

Q:I'm looking for a picture of the girl dragging the vacuum cleaner around in the movie quot;Oncequot;. I tried using google image search but couldn't find it, maybe I used the wrong keywords. Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

okorder good luck.
