Q:I need a good vacuum for my floors - right now I sweep every night - then i swiffer wet jet or clean with wipes on my hands and knees. Im very OCD about my floors being clean as you can tell - Ive tried the BISSELL stick Vacuum for hardwood floors but it is worthless - the basic broom seems to work the best but still doesn't get everything... what is the best Lightweight inexpensive vacuum out there for that type of flooring.... thanks guys for your info!

I have a Dyson, the pink one. And it works great. It was expensive but I've had it for almost 4 years now and it the best vaccum I've owned. It's well worth the money though. Lifetime filter and to bags to buy either.

Q:Why did God make men with British and Australian accents so good at selling vacuum cleaners on American TV?

Because they are not figs. God Hates Figs. He smote one once. It died. Also, he just likes Brits and Ausies better than Nigerians. Which is why you never see Nigerians doing that most coveted of occupations.

Q:The vacuum has a really loud noise to it. At one point I seen grease/oil on the floor while it was running. The noise sounds like it needs grease or something. I'm thinking the bearings, but that's just a guess. Please can someone help or advise of a website where I can find the quot;how to fixquot;. Dyson support was useless. They just said to send the vacuum in or bring to a repair center at my cost. My options aren't big, I live in a very small town that doesn't have many or if any repair centers. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

that's a tough one buddy-- I can't even grease my wife to make her work well-- otherwise whe might work like a hoover

Q:Can I use my vacuum cleaner to suck up the excess co2 in the air?

no, because it will just exit the vaccum since it is not air tight. also, air is mixed with co2 and you wouldn't be able to separate the two.

Q:Anyone else have the experience of their dog turns into a raving lunatic when you get the vacuum cleaner out? How can you get him to stop barking?

It is crazy! One dog just hides with the cats-yea! The other used to bark at and try to attack the vacuum and the broom or rake and the leaf blower! I started out just removing the animals when I did these things. Now, when I get out the vacuum, I let them see it and leave space for the hiding one to run to his crate and I tell the other dog to go downstairs, if I'm upstairs, or ask her if she wants to go out. And I did do the teaching not to be fearful of noises, etc., the person quoting Dog Whisperer and all training books describe. But, my goal was to keep them out from underfoot for this, so allowing them to think the vacuum's powers are to be awed, and keep your distance from, was a good thing. I just turned the lunging behavior into one of getting away from me.

Q:Iam supposed to do costing for a modification that we are doing for a hand held vacuum cleaner, the modification is an retractable arm.I want to know how are hand held vacuum cleaners manufactured, (forging, extrusion, injection molding??) What would be the cost??Any help thanks

Look at the hand held vacuums they have in the store. If the housing is plastic, it is a 99.99% chance it is injection molded. If it is made of metal it could be extruded if it has a constant cross section along its length. Aluminum is a very common extrusion metal. I would doubt any high volume hand vac would have a forged housing, but I don't get out that much. Casting and machining is a possibility. As far as costs, it all depends on the life of the tool, and the number of cavities for a mold or a casting. If you mold/cast one part at a time it is much more expensive than two or four or eight. The more you mold at once, the bigger the molding/casting machine and the more expensive the mold/casting. So it depends on how many you want to make in a given amount of time, and how many through the life of the product. Finally, for your modification, do you have a design with drawings and a volume target? That is the first step to figuring out costs.

Q:I'm ready to pull my hair out.I can't seem to figure out how to use the standard normal distribution table to find Z.The question isWe want to investigate a claim about the average sound intensity of certain vacuum cleaners. Suppose the sound is a random variable having a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 3.6 dB. Specifically, we shall want to test the null hypothesis u = 75.20 against the alternative hypothesis u gt; 75.20 no the basis of measurements of the sound intensity n = 15 of these machines. If the probability of a Type I error is to be a = 0.03, what is the probability of a type II error for u = 77 dB.How do I use the normal distribution table to find a = 0.03. The only thing I know is that I have to do 1 - a.After that I can't seem to find out the rest of it. Please. Plesae just help with that.

It means like this.... In making a vacuum cleaner, since it is fairly complicated and made of many parts and does not come out exactly the same every time it is made, there are many small random effects that contribute to the amount of noise that the vacuum cleaner makes. The normal distribution is what we see whenever there are many random effects that are added together. If the same random effects apply every time, and the same measurement and sampling method is used the same time, then the distribution of the measurements will fit the normal distribution.

Q:I have very long hair and two cats who shed terribly. Most vacuum cleaners I've purchased get bound up quickly due to the hair issue that I have in my household. The belt and the brush roller need to be replaced often. Do you have any suggestions on a good vacuum (one that doesn't require financing) that I won't need to turn upside down every time I use it just to clear several strands of hair?Thank you very much!

Hey Lisa, You might want to check out the LG Kompressor. Granted it costs about $100 more than the average low-end priced vacuum cleaners but it is specifically designed for handling nasty pet hair. Best not to be pennywise pound foolish when investing in a machine, especically when you have a special situation to take care of. Dyson makes pet hair VCs but they are quite pricey ($300-$400). There are lots of positive reviews (4 out of 5 Stars) from customers over at OKorder on the LG Kompressor and it qualifies for free shipping. One consumer said: With two cats (one a long-hair), and a Golden Retriever, plus three kids, this is an attractive feature because there's a lot of dirt, dust and pet hair that needs to be vacuumed in our house! You can read them all if you'd like...just see below. Good luck!

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