A vacuum cleaner, sometimes called a vacuum Hoover or a vacuum sweeper, is a tool that generates suction to draw dirt from drapery, floors, furniture, and other textiles so that they may be vacuuming. It’s usually electrically powered. The most common type of vacuum cleaner is the upright style, which can be used to vacuum upholstery by pulling the vacuum cleaner along behind the furniture. There are also canister types that hold a variety of cleaning tools including brushes, microfiber, and blowers.

Pumps are necessary to move a large appliance such as this one because it needs to suck air through a very large opening, which results in high pressures. In order to operate properly, these pumps must be able to generate the right pressures at the right times. The motor that drives these vacuum cleaners is usually called a power motor, and the larger the motor the more powerful the vacuum cleaner. They must have enough horsepower to get the job done.

Vacuum cleaners can be powered either by electricity or by gasoline. Gasoline powered cleaners are much more powerful than their electricity counterparts because they don’t have an idle speed and run continuously at all times. If you need your vacuum cleaner to do heavy work on hard floors then you should get one with a stronger motor. There are some modern gas vacuum cleaners that can pick up small particles and suck them out of carpet and upholstery.
