Q:what brand do you recommend? I have 900 sq ft of carpet. I might replace the carpet with tiles. how long can a small vacuum like that work without engine getting too hot and shut down?is it expensive to maintaing?

If you are looking for a kind of robot vacuum cleaner that will clean all the mess just like human with detail then i am sorry but you are looking at the wrong direction, the fact is these robots are designed for repetitive room maintenance, I am suppose you have pets, or kids who often create room around but you don't to do the cleaning thing over and over again then just let the robot do it. It will clean dust, hairs, husk and other floor dirt. With the advancement in technology robots have recovered too. They don't get stuck now, The battery life has improved to a greater detail. you don't have to worry about its charging they do it them self. once they feel low on power they will automatically return to the power source and fulfill the charging needs.

Q:what products should the USA manufacture that aren't being manufactured at the present time?

Peruse the telephone book yellow pages. Start with the A's and end with the Z's. There is a fine listing of ideas there.

Q:Me and my boyfriend have quite long hair. Mine to my waist, his almost halfway down his back. Very thick.The problem is we always destroy vacuum cleaners, from all the hairs we shed. Any ideas for special vacuum cleaners, tips, etc?

You need to buy a vacuum cleaner that can handle hair. Check with consumer reports. We have a Bissell and it works great on pet hair. Or get a shop vac. Or cut you hair short.

Q:I have 4 cats and my vacuum recently broke. It wasn't all that good with picking up cat hair anyways. Can you suggest good vacuum cleaners for cat hair under $200? The attachments aren't a big deal to me and probably would be more of a hassle. Looking for something with easy disposable and strong suction. Thanks

if you want a good vacuumm for pets it is going to cost much much more than 200 bux.

Q:How many vacuum cleaners do you have?

I just bought a 16 gallon shop vac...lol. It's freakin huge but better than a dinky vacuum I guess!

Q:Just curious. What would the effect be?

A clean black hole, I guess. Could you read about black holes, BEFORE you post?

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: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.

No, I doubt it would even suck in the smallest cat or dog. Maybe an insect, but NO, not a cat OR dog. Dogs and cats sometimes dislike vacuum cleaners. Please do not do this if you do it. If you do, you are absolutely cruel to animals. Just saying. Hope this helps.
