Built-in or central vacuum cleaners, also known as ducted vacuum cleaners, move the suction motor and bag to a central location in the building and provide vacuum inlets throughout the building: only the hose and pickup head need be carried from room to room, and the hose is commonly 8 m (25 ft) long, allowing a large range of movement without changing vacuum inlets. Plastic piping connects the vacuum outlets to the central unit. The vacuum head may either be unpowered or have beaters operated by an electric motor or air-driven motor.The dirt bag in a central vacuum system is usually so large that emptying or changing needs to be done less often, perhaps once per year. The central unit usually stays in "stand-by", and is turned on by a switch on the handle of the hose, or the unit powers up when the hose is plugged into the wall inlet when the metal hose connector makes contact with two prongs in the wall inlet and the current is transmitted through low voltage wires to the main unit. Such a unit also produces greater suction than common vacuum cleaners, because a larger fan and more powerful motor can be used when they are not required to be portable. Another benefit of a central vacuum system is that unlike a standard vacuum cleaner, which blows some of the dirt collected back into the room being cleaned (no matter how efficient its filtration), a central vacuum removes all the dirt collected to the central unit. Since this central unit is usually located outside the living area, no dust is recirculated back into the room being cleaned. In addition, because of the remote location of the motor unit, there is less noise in the room being cleaned than with a standard vacuum cleaner. Also it is possible on most newer models to vent the exhaust entirely outside with the unit inside the living quarters.

For carpets, make sure the vacuum has enough suction power, especially with deep pile styles. On the other hand, there's no need for an energy hog if the situation just doesn't call for it. Make sure the height can be adjusted high enough for your needs.
If you or other persons in your household have long hair, get a vacuum that has a stainless steel brush roller with ball bearings. In general, metal components are better than plastic ones. Of course, they also make the unit heavier.
If keeping dust out of the air is one of your goals (and it should be), choose a bag model over a bagless one. Look for an after motor "true HEPA filter" in a "sealed system". Be aware that there's no standard that sealed models must meet.
If possible (and especially if you suffer from asthma), test air-tightness for yourself. One way is to vacuum for a bit with a floor model and then see how much dust has collected on the outside of the unit.
Try assembling and disassembling the attachments before you buy. Make sure that they're easy to assemble, that they stay together and are airtight during use, and that you can still disassemble them with a minimum of effort.
Check the height of the fully assembled attachments to ensure that you won't be stooping or holding your arm up in the air to use them. Don't be dazzled by an array of attachments. Think about what you really need and aim for that.
Make sure that the power switch, height level controller and any other controls are easy to access and use. They'll need to be sturdy, especially if you'll be using your foot to operate them.
Make an inventory of all the parts that will require replacement, how often the replacement should occur and how much it will cost you annually. For example, many units will need a filter, after-filter, bag and maybe even belt replacements within a year's time or less.

Vacuum cleaners for commercial purposes are designed in such a way that the machine removes all the debris in the floors and also particles that float around in the air.The chief aim of the cleaners is to keep the work environment healthy as well as clean.These vacuum cleaners are planned in such a way to suck in any type of rubbish or dust particles.Some debris may be of a larger size, some may be wet or too dry and there may be corrosive or radioactive particles – the manufacturers of the vacuum cleaners have taken care of all these points in the design.The manufacturers also take in to consideration the special cases, like many offices may have certain individual requirements due to their nature of work.So basically, if you research the market properly, you can get the right type of vacuum cleaner that will meet your requirements.
Of the hustle bustle of day-to-day life, you may not get sufficient time to go from one shop to another searching for the best commercial vacuum cleaner. In such a case, you can always find help on the Internet.

Upright vacuum cleaners take the form of a cleaning head, onto which a handle and bag are attached. Upright designs usually employ a rotating brushroll or beater bar, which removes dirt through a combination of sweeping and vibration. There are two types of upright vacuums; dirty-fan/direct air, or clean-fan/indirect air.The older of the two designs, dirty-fan cleaners have a large impeller (fan) mounted close to the suction opening, through which the dirt passes directly, before being blown into a bag. The motor is often cooled by a separate cooling fan. Due to their large-bladed fans, and comparatively-short airpaths, dirty-air cleaners create a very efficient airflow from a low amount of power, and make great carpet cleaners. Their 'above-floor' cleaning power is less efficient, since the airflow is lost when it passes through a long hose.Clean-fan uprights have their motor mounted after the bag. Dust is removed from the airstream by the bag, and usually a filter, before it passes through the fan. The fans are smaller, and are usually a combination of several moving and stationary turbines working in sequence to boost power. The motor is cooled by the airstream passing through it. Clean-air vacuums are good for both carpet and above-floor cleaning, since their suction does not significantly diminish over the distance of a hose, as it does in dirty-fan cleaners. However, their air-paths are much less efficient, and can require more than twice as much power than dirty-fan cleaners to achieve the same results.The most common upright vacuum cleaners use a drive-belt powered by the suction motor to rotate the brush-roll. However, a less common design of dual motor upright, often found in commercial vacuum cleaners, is available. In these cleaners, the suction is provided via a large motor, while the brush-roll is powered by a separate, smaller motor, which does not create any suction. The brush-roll motor can sometimes be switched off, so hard floors can be cleaned without the brush-roll scattering the dirt. It may also have an automatic cut-out feature, which shuts the motor off if the brush-roll becomes jammed, protecting it from damage.

The new Oreck Halo is a revolution in vacuum cleaner technology. Incredible suction vacuums dirt and debris, while the patented Oreck Halo light chamber kills many microscopic germs, bacteria, viruses, mold, dust mite eggs, and flea eggs using UV-C light. And like all Oreck products, it’s remarkably simple to use – just vacuum as you normally would, and the Oreck Halo kills and reduces microorganisms without any extra effort or harsh chemicals.

Every time we enter our homes, we can track in germs and bacteria from outside. Think about coming home from work, or the kids as they enter the house, dirty from playing outside. Where have their shoes been? Public bathrooms? What have they stepped in? What about the dog digging in the dirt or trash? It’s easy for germs to get on your floors. Dust mite eggs, flea eggs, mold, bacteria, germs, and other microorganisms could be living there, too. But the new Oreck Halo with germ-killing UV-C light can help rid many of them from your floors - easily

Hoover's latest canister stands out for its design-savvy looks, not to mention the fact that it cleans with powerful WindTunnel technology. Dirt particles are cleverly ducted away from the spinning agitators to ensure they're captured in the bagless dirt cup and not sent back out onto the carpet. The HEPA filter traps minute allergen particles and conveniently removes for cleaning. Large, soft wheels allow the compact 12-amp vacuum to maneuver easily.
Best of all, the handgrip features electronic control buttons for power on and off, variable suction (allowing smooth transition from wood floors to area rugs), and agitator action speed for carpets. Tools are easily attached to the telescoping wand, making it a snap to switch from cleaning floors to using drape and upholstery tools.

When shopping for vacuum, the first thing that you probably look at is the price tag. The next thing that you look at is what type of dust collector it has and so on.
One thing that is often overlooked is what type of filter your new vacuum is going to have. The vast majority of bagless vacuums have HEPA filters, but bagged vacuums often lack the sophisticated filters that are going to keep the air clean.
It is said that a HEPA filter is able to filter 99.97% of the dust and allergens that are in the air. This means that the air coming out of your vacuum is going to probably be cleaner than the air that is in the room before you vacuum.
Your Next Vacuum
So, which type of filter do you need for your next vacuum?
The HEPA is a great filter and is going to get the air cleaned, but you may not know the disadvantages of these filters.
They are expensive. Filters need to be replaced if they are going to keep filtering working. Sometimes the replacement filter costs 10% of the price of the vacuum.
HEPA filters are going to give you a false sense of security. If you think that vacuuming is going to be enough to clean the air, you are going to be sadly mistaken.
If you get a bagged cleaner, chances are it is not going to have a HEPA filter unless it is one of the more expensive cleaners out there.
So how are a lot of the bagged cleaners going to keep your air fresh? The answer is usually with both a filter (whether HEPA or not) and the bag. This means that you are going to get twice the filtration of a bagless system.
Aren’t Bags Full Of Small Holes?
There are a lot of vacuum companies that are going to say that a vacuum with bags is going to be terrible at filtering out the dirt and dust because of the microscopic holes that are in the bag that let the dust, allergens and dirt back out.
How To Buy Your Next Vacuum?
When you are looking for your next vacuum, there are several things to do to get the best one for your needs.
Decide whether or not filtration is something that is important to you or not. If it isn’t, you can choose your vacuum based on what is important.
Decide whether or not HEPA is important to you. If you do decide that you need a HEPA filter, it is going to be easy to eliminate all of the vacuums that don’t fit the requirements.
Read reviews. You definitely need to read reviews about vacuums before you decide to purchase one. Don’t just read the good reviews, read the bad ones, too to see what the problems with the vacuum are.
Find out about the filter. If the filter isn’t a HEPA filter, you are going to need to research it and figure out if it is going to work for you. If you have asthma or allergies, pay special attention to the reviewers and what they say about the vacuum. If you notice that a lot of reviewers complain about the vacuum blowing dust around, you are going to know that the filter is not that great.

Oreck Corporation doubles its fund-raising commitment to Susan G. Komen for the Cure in the fight against breast cancer through the sale of the specially-created Pink Oreck XL® Ultra Hypo-Allergenic Plus Vacuum Cleaner.
The Oreck Clean for the Cure® campaign, now in its second year of support for the cause, pledges a minimum of $500,000, with no limit to the donation.
In the first year of fund-raising just completed, the Oreck Clean for the Cure campaign raised more than $740,000, almost triple the goal.
"When you try the Pink Oreck XL Ultra Vacuum Cleaner in your home for 30 days, Oreck will donate $50 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure," said President and CEO Tom Oreck.
"The response to the Pink Oreck XL vacuum was so strong, we vow to continue and raise more money to help find a cure for breast cancer," he said. "Susan G. Komen for the Cure is clearly a cause that touches our consumers and we want to give back to the people who buy our products."
The promise of Susan G. Komen for the Cure is to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.
"Oreck is not only renewing its commitment, but most important, raising its contribution to the cause," said Cindy Schneible, vice president of resource development at Susan G. Komen for the Cure. "The Clean for Cure program gives consumers a way to make a valuable contribution to breast cancer research and community outreach programs."
The Oreck XL Ultra Vacuum Cleaner that helps Clean for the Cure is pretty and powerful in pink. In time for spring cleaning and Mother's Day gifts, the Pink Oreck XL Ultra Vacuum Cleaner makes home cleaning more effective and easier, especially for allergen control.
To help create a cleaner, healthier home, the Oreck XL Vacuum Cleaner is engineered for allergen control with a seven-layer hypo-allergenic filtration system and an advanced self-sealing disposable vacuum bag. The filtration system eliminates 99.99 percent of allergens down to .3 microns (bacteria measures .4 to 10 microns), including bacteria, mold spores, dust mites, pet hair, house dust and pollen.
The self-sealing vacuum bag locks in fine particles, dirt and dust. In contrast, when bagless vacuum dirt containers are emptied, dirt, dust and allergens can spew back into the home and onto hands and face and into eyes and contact lenses, according to tests by Oreck Corporation Research Laboratories.
According to David Oreck, he originally developed the Oreck Vacuum to be effective, lightweight and easy to use, especially with women in mind.
"Most women can push the Oreck Upright Vacuum with one finger," he said. "I wanted to make it as user friendly as possible without sacrificing efficient and effective cleaning power," Oreck said.
"The Pink Oreck XL Vacuum reduces user stress with an ergonomically-designed handle," Oreck said. "It helps eliminate stress and strain on hands, wrists and elbows," he said. The Oreck handle received the Arthritis Foundation® Ease-Of-Use Commendation.
For cleaning all over the house, high and low, the upright Oreck XL Ultra Vacuum Cleaner comes with the Oreck Clean For The Cure® canister vacuum, complete with attachments. Lightweight with a shoulder strap to take around the house, the canister is black with the pink ribbon symbol.
The Clean For The Cure® Pink Oreck Vacuum Cleaner features a 10-year warranty and 10 annual, free tune-ups as a extra measure of assurance for high performance. It can be purchased at $549 at any of 475 Oreck Clean Home™ Centers across the country, at www.cleanforthecure.com or by calling 1-800-237-4181.
Oreck Clean Home Centers are staffed by trained cleaner, healthier home professionals who offer expert advice as well as the latest technologies.
Oreck Corporation offers a Total Cleaning System™, including advanced upright vacuums with hypo-allergenic disposable inner bags, compact canister vacuums with tools, multi-floor cleaners, advanced air purifiers and Oreck cleaning products. For more information, visit www.oreck.com.
About Susan G. Komen for the CureNancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

David Oreck founded the Oreck Corporation in the United States in 1963. The company’s principal manufacturing facilities are in Cookeville, TN.
Oreck Corporation began as a company manufacturing upright vacuum cleaners for the hotel industry in the U.S. The concept was to design a lightweight yet powerful and durable vacuum that hotel housekeepers would prefer to the very heavy models available to them. The idea proved so successful that now over 50,000 hotels throughout the world use Oreck vacuums. After a short time, hotel personnel asked to buy the machines for their own use, which gave the Oreck Corporation the idea to sell its unique products to the general public.
Oreck now sells throughout North America and South America, as well as in Europe and Asia. It has the reputation of being the manufacturer of the very finest cleaning equipment available anywhere. It concentrates on lightweight cleaning machines of every style, each model having exceptional durability and ease of handling. An example of its success is that the only vacuum cleaners sold by the American Express Company are Orecks.
Oreck has experienced double-digit growth for the past several years and is now a major manufacturer in the cleaning industry.

The DC24, joins the Slim DC18 in Dyson’s lineup of lightweight, compact, high-tech-looking vacuums. The DC24, which is smaller and narrower than the rest of the company’s upright models, features Dyson’s Ball technology for added maneuverability. To keep the weight and size down, the motor is housed in the ball. (On a Dyson Ball model, the front wheels have been replaced by a barrel-shaped cylinder that allows a vacuum to pivot more easily than it would on wheels.)
In our tests, the DC24 excelled at cleaning bare floors. It also produced extremely low emissions when vacuuming, and did not redistribute any of the dust it collected back into the air. The manufacturer claims the lifetime HEPA filter is maintenance-free and backs the vacuum with a five-year warranty.
The DC24 has a removable wand and all of the functionality of the larger Dyson models but, at 12 pounds, is svelte for an upright. Its light weight and design make it easy to carry and use and allow it to take up less storage space than most other uprights (It isn’t much larger than a stick vacuum). It also has a powered brush roll that you can turn on and off with a switch, a feature we recommend.
But the DC24 proved only mediocre at cleaning carpets and provides less suction for its tools than the larger Dyson models do. What’s more, the collection bin is much smaller than those on the full-sized Dysons and fills very quickly. And as with all bagless vacuums, emptying the bin is a messy chore that can expose you to allergens.
The DC24 is a worthy choice if space is at a premium and you are willing to trade some cleaning ability for easy maneuverability and less weight. It has the functionality and tools of a full-sized upright, making it more versatile than a stick vacuum. But if you need a vacuum with outstanding cleaning power, there are better choices, especially considering the $400 price range.

Vacuum cleaners with bags clog and lose suction. Dyson, with no bag, has constant, powerful suction! This is a gorgeous, brilliantly engineered machine that just happens to be the best vacuum cleaner on the planet. James Dyson, its inventor, explains his inspiration: "I was frustrated with my vacuum cleaner because the bag quickly clogged with dust, destroying the suction. So I set about developing an entirely new type of vacuum cleaner to solve this problem. More than 5,000 prototypes later, I was ready to launch the patented Dyson Cyclone, the first vacuum that doesn't lose suction." So what's wrong with every other vacuum in the world? They all lose suction! Traditional bag vacuums — and imitative "bag-less" vacs — rely on bags or filters to trap dust and dirt, and their small pores start to clog the moment you start vacuuming. Their suction power drops to half (or less) after picking up just 10 ounces of dust, and the more you use them — the more you need them — the less they work! This is where James Dyson's innovation saved the day — designing a no-bag upright vacuum with patented Root8Cyclone™ technology, a large cyclone chamber topped by a ring of seven smaller "cyclones" using 100,000 Gs of centrifugal force to efficiently remove all dust and dirt from the airflow. Because nothing obstructs the airflow, Dyson doesn't clog and doesn't lose suction! Dyson cleans the last room as well as the first. Dyson's other innovative and unique features include a quick-draw 17-foot hose that makes it easy to vacuum on a staircase. Lifetime HEPA filter helps keep germs and mold out of the air (in fact, Dyson is endorsed by the British Allergy Foundation); and a gentle "bare floor" mode plus automatic adjustment for short- versus long-pile carpet. When the permanent, clear collection bin looks full, you don't have to touch anything that's dirty. Instead, just lift it out by the large handle, carry to the trash and pull the trigger; the trap door falls open and the bin empties itself — hygienic and quick! And with no bags to buy or filters to replace, Dyson costs next to nothing to operate. Deluxe pet-owner's edition includes Animal turbo tool specially designed to remove pet hair from upholstery, stairs and the car. Also includes Dyson-engineered floor tool for easy vacuuming under low furniture — on floors of all types.

History of the Kirby Vacuum
The Kirby Vacuum is invented by Jim Kirby in 1907. Kirby vacuums became a direct sales item in the 1920s with door-to-door salesmen.
The First 20 Years
The Kirby Vauette was the first series, sold from 1919 to 1935. In 1925, convertible vacuums with detachable hoses were produced.
The Longest Series
The Model 500 series was produced from 1935 to 1957 with 15 different models. This would be the longest running series of Kirby vacuum.
From 1965 to 1981
The Duel-Sanitronic was the next notable series produced from 1965 to 1970. This was followed by the Kirby Classic sold from 1970 to 1981. The first disposable paper bag filters also arrived at this time.
The 1980s and 1990s
The Heritage vacuum started production in 1981, but was renamed "Legend II" in 1989. The G Series replaced it with a self-glide module for ease of control and a HEPA filter.
Into the 21st Century
The G series was replaced by the Diamond edition in 2003. The Sentria replaced the Diamond in 2006. These last two series use the HEPA filter technology.

History

The vacuum cleaner is the appliance that frightens the cat, is chased by the dog, and, perhaps, gives a home the most immediate appearance of being clean. Imagining a home without a vacuum cleaner is next to impossible; yet, like many time-and effort-saving devices, its widespread use is less than a century old.
History
There were no mechanical devices for cleaning rugs or carpeting until the 1840s. Before then, carpet cleaning was the duty of housemaids for the well-to-do and the women of the family for everyone else. Most rugs were made of rags that were woven together or braided in long ropes that were then stitched together as floor coverings. Carpets were woven of finer materials. Rugs and small carpets were taken outside several times a year, hung on heavy clothes-lines, and beaten with fan-shaped beaters to drive out the dust. Larger carpets were left in place and brushed; curtains were also cleaned by beating and brushing.
When carpets and rugs were cleaned, the furniture and many ornaments that characterized the fussy Victorian style had to be moved: a time-consuming and inefficient process. Even worse, the beaten-or brushed-out dust quickly resettled on the floors and furniture. This, of course, did nothing to sanitize the house.
Relief from this arduous task was still a long time coming. The vacuum cleaner had three significant ancestors, the first of which was the street-sweeping machine. Public streets collected much of the waste from private homes and were filthy. Joseph Whitworth, an enterprising English gentleman of the 1840s, mounted large coarse-bristled brushes onto a rotating drum inside a horse-drawn van. The turning brushes picked up street dirt and deposited it in the van. The home carpet sweeper was invented in 1858 by H. H. Herrick, but its complexity and inefficiency limited its success.
