Q:why are some dogs afraid of vacuum cleaners?

Whenever your questioning something that has to do with an animal, look at it from their point of view. Lets look at it from a small dog's poing of view. Your laying on the carpet, and suddenly, this huuuggggeee towering thing starts rooaarrinng and its just so loud, and you see the dust flying everywhere, and as it moves, it sucks things up, it like eats things alive, and the big bright lights, and its comming at you, and its gunna suck you up, and its oohh soo loundd and its moving toward you....AHH!!!

Q:Vacuum cleaners work by suction and suck up dirt. That would finally be correct usage of the word suck.

While an open-ended vacuum does, literally, suck, one usually refers to the process, suction, specifically suction power when referring to the machine's action. One might be more specific/scientific refer to force of the vacuum if one were attempt to weigh the merits of various vacuum cleaners, although this is usually done by comparing relative measures of engine horsepower. Usually, of course, a practical demonstration is called for given. As for the negative connotations given to the term in common parlance, there are two possibilities: 1) It is an abbreviated version of the term more euphemistically stated as vacuums excrement. 2) It could refer to a negative memory of an adolescent experiment w/ a machine... The former seems more likely. But, as Fats Waller used to say: One never knows... Do one?

Q:Im just moving into a new house, and I need a vacuum cleaner. I would like something under 300 US$ and that i can find in a store such as sears, wal-mart, etc. It also needs to be a canister vacuum cleaner. Please help me find the best deal.Thank you!

target and walmart both sell inexpensive vacuum cleaners. the only issue is they are usually feather weight and do not hold very much dirt so they must be emptied frequently. You can also check your local craigslist for used vacuum cleaners :)

Q:Where could I find info. on this on what equals what?Thanks!

I always look for suckage. I get the one that sucks the best. You would assume this would be the most powerful one but not necessarily so. Rainbows vacuums are the best but they are expensive - you can sometimes get a good used one on OKorder

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 quality 120V compact vacuum cleaner max. $200. I need a good quality one with lots of suction power(the car socket vacuums are garbage). I have a Rainbow but hate dragging the $2000 machine around the garage and having to refill the water is a pain. I need a vacuum where the nozzles are plastic or non metal since I have 2 BMWs with leather seats and am very careful not to nick or scratch plastic or leather parts. I also want there to be different sized nozzles for the carpet, between the seats, leather seams, ect.. I heard Metropolitan is good. Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

I have a Shop-Vac Wall Mount between my two garage doors so it will clean both cars. It came with a wall bracket, about 12 ft of plastic hose attachments. Lots of power, good filter, 120 V. easy to clean-out with a large holding tank. I found it at a Menard's for less than $60. Works great!

Q:Hi everyone, I will be buying a new vacuum cleaner soon and would like some recommendations/ testimonials from regular users of vacuums as to which ones you all feel is/are the best. It needs to be one that is good for picking up pet hair, and doing a 3 bedroom house top to bottom, (so will be on for a good while when in use), also the cost needs to be under ?200. many thanks.

I recommend going with a good quality bagless such as a Dyson or the LG. I've owned my DC07 for about 7 years and have had zero problems with it and it still does a fantastic job. I also have the LG, and it too is a great vacuum. If you would like a Dyson but can't afford one, then the LG is the perfect substitute, as it uses the same technologies and has excellent features at more reasonable price.

Q:I just moved into my first apartment and there is rug all throughout the house, I don't really know much about vacuum cleaners, but I need to get one, I want a good one but for less than $100, can someone please help me!!!

Be sure to get one with a beater bar for best cleaning. Check at a local independent vacuum dealer. Often they take in trade-ins on new ones. Otherwise, try Craig's list or your penny-saver local weekly paper. Last time I checked consumer reports, they liked the Eurekas. I also have some Power-Flite equipment for my business and they regularly run commercial uprights (like for hotels and restaurants) for $129.

Q:Is the one thing that separates us from animals is that we aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners?

That and we work together to save other species. We can look in a mirror and know that it is us in the mirror. We express emotions. We have created an extremely large civilization spanning the entire Earth. But, what's weird is that animals have sometimes shown every one of these characteristics. So I guess we are all the same... well except for the vacuum. You may be right. :D
