Q:I want a lightweight, easy to use, vacuum with good suction. Any suggestions? I don't want to spend more than 300.00. Also, does anyone know what is the suction power I am looking for for hosehold use.

I love my Hoover Windtunnel. I paid about 125 for it at Wal-mart. It has the rotating hand brush also. Mine is a 12amp also. I noticed that most are 12 amps. Hope this helps. If not you can go to Sears and they will dump stuff on the TEST CARPET and let you try them all out and then see where you can get the best deal.

Q:...what would you do?

I would give you the vacuum cleaner at no charge and quit selling vacuum cleaners.

Q:What is the working principle of a vacuum cleaner?

The internal pressure is much lower than the external pressure, the pressure difference effect, dust and dirt with air into the vacuum cleaner barrel, and then after the dust bag filter, dust in the dust bag, purifying the air can pass through the motor to escape into the room again, the cooling of the motor and the air purifying function

Q:I'm just curious about how often people vacuum. I have gone through yet another vacuum cleaner in a little over a year. I think it is because I vacuum every day sometimes twice a day and most people I know have vacuums that last years but they only do it once a week...possibly twice a week at the most. Thanks!

LOL..Not as much as I would like. My Daughter HATES the Vacuum cleaner and I cant vacuum when she is hear, nor when she is asleep. Also, Im a SAHM so she is here with me all the time. But,I vacuum once or twice a week when my Mom has her.

Q:Vacuum CleanerWeights Upright vacuumcleaners have either a hard body type or a soft bodytype. Shown are the weights in pounds of a sample ofeach type. At a=0.05, can the claim that there is adifference in the variances of the weights of the twotypes be substantiated?Hard body 21 17 17 20 16 17 15 20 23 16 17 1713 15 16 1818Soft bodied types24,13,11,13,12,15

Hard body : Arithmetic mean : Xbar = ΣX / N = 296 / 17 = 17.4 Standard deviation : s = √ [Σ(X - Xbar)^2 / N] = √ [96.12 / 17] = 2.38 Variance : s^2 = 5.66 Degrees of freedom = 17 - 1 = 16 -------------------- Soft body : Xbar = 88 / 6 = 14.7 s = √ [113.34 / 6] = 4.35 s^2 = 18.92 Degrees of freedom = 6 - 1 = 5 -------------------- Using the F distribution : F = (larger variance) / (smaller variance) = 18.92 / 5.66 = 3.34 (with v1 = 5 and v2 = 16) This is a two-tailed test because the null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the variances. With a 5% probability limit, each tail area = 0.025. Looking up a table of the F distribution for v1 = 5 and v2 = 16, the value given for 0.025 is 3.50. The observed value of 3.34 is less than 3.50, so it lies between the 5% probability limits. Thus, the null hypothesis is accepted, so the claim that there is a difference in the variances of the weights of the two types CANNOT be substantiated, at the 0.05 level of confidence. (My apologies to statistical experts if that is incorrect)

Q:What brands of vacuum cleaners are the best and not too expensive?

My favorite is my trusty Shop Vac! I bought the smaller one. We have only one, low-traffic room with rug, so I don't miss the beater bar. It sucks up anything, and you don't have to buy bags unless you are vacuuming fine dust. The whole thing, canister, filters, and hose can be washed. I use it for our vehicles and the whole house. And when there's a water spill somewhere, just empty the canister and suck up the water. Costs around $60.

Q:is there a place that will let you rent vacuum cleaners for like a few hours or a day?

I think so.I know at Publix, they rent out steam cleaners for the carpet.Google and ask people in your area.I am sure someone knows.They sell cheap $20 vacs at Walmart though.It is probably cheaper.

Q:So I have heard tales of cats or dogs getting eviscerated(gutted) by a vacuum cleaner. Now personally I do not believe this, I am just wondering if there is any science or knowledge to back this legend up.

Hmm. What Oreck do you may have? I do not know the model of mine due to the fact i'm at work however we haven't had any obstacle with the belt breaking and we've got had it for approximately 7 years and we now have two puppies that shed loads and used to have a cat unless 2 years in the past. It doesn't have any attachments, simply the basic mannequin I feel. We have no carpet though so that would be the main issue for you and the belt you probably have carpet. All of our previous vacuums would best final a 12 months or two but this one has been first-rate! It is so mild too, a Dyson can be heavier....

Q:I have acctually been asking this question for a number of years and have to admit that I am more interested in peoples reaction to the question than in a prosaic answer. However I wouldn't be oppossed to a definative answer from someone who builds the things. Just because I find it a silly place for a headlight doesn't mean theres not a valid reason for it being there.

Here's the honest answer, disregard all of the nonsense answers people have been giving you, there just here for the points. The true answer is that vacuums have lights to give the dirt and dust a fighting chance to get away. When they see the light coming they run n hide under the couch. Now if you don't believe me, just lift your couch n see if the dirt n dust isn't hiding there. One last fact people probally didn't know is that dirt n dust can't hear, no matter how loud the vac is. Thank god for those lights eh?
