VacuumTo many, a vacuum is what we call the actual device that is used to clean our living room carpets or automobile floors. But what a vacuum actually is a volume of space that is empty of matter. Strange that the definition is such when we use vacuum cleaners to pick up matter from the floor. Various Uses A vacuum is also used in a number of other objects and processes. For example, the first use of the vacuum was in incandescent light bulbs, or the bulbs that give off a yellowish light. What the vacuum does is protect the tungsten from degrading. This kind of vacuum is also used in reducing convection, improving the use of such items like thermal bottles. Some vacuum processes are also used in freeze drying and distillation. Without the vacuum process, we wouldn’t have such items like electron microscopes and cathode ray tubes (like in the CRT monitor you are probably using right now to read this). But of call these uses, it is the most practical that is the most popular. A vacuum is best known for its suction properties and even this can be used in a variety of applications. One of them is picking up dirt from hard to reach spaces like in between threads of a carpet. Other uses include operating pistons but this is not a common application. What We Know Best Of course, that is all technical babble and we are all really comfortable knowing what an actual vacuum cleaner is. Well, the vacuum that we know and use in our homes (known as a hoover in England) is actually an air pump that can create an artificial vacuum that in turn can create suction to pick up dust and dirt. So the stronger the pump, then the stronger the force of the suction in the vacuum and the more items you are more likely to pick up with the machine. Since most homes in developed countries are carpeted, this is one of the most useful devices to have lying around in the house. Where does the dirt go? It is collected in the machine’s filtering system and then into a bag that can be cleaned out later on. A History of the Appliance The first vacuum was actually developed in 1868; so you can see how far this little sucker has come (no pun intended). The machine was light and it was small. However, it was difficult to use since it required manual operation. This meant that one had to turn a crank to make the pump move and create a vacuum. So you can imagine how weak that vacuum was but the idea was there and all one had to do was to find a way to make a stronger vacuum and thus promote better suction. In 1901, this was achieved with the creation of a powered vacuum. The idea was based on a device that blew dust off of trains. By 1905, a vacuum that is probably the first domestic vacuum cleaner was developed. It closely resembles the vacuum cleaner that we have today and it draws on the same principles of a pump operating to create a vacuum to suck up dust that is then caught inside the filter and eventually into a bag that collects all the dirt for disposal.
Thermax AF1 Water Filtration Vacuum and Hot Water Extraction System - Free Shipping The AF1 is designed for environments that are mostly carpeted and contain some hard flooring. It is also ideal for homes with indoor pets that shed. Thermax has lead the way once again by redesigning and incorporating its revolutionary hot water extraction and water filtration technology into a lightweight, compact, easy to use home care system, the Thermax AF1. It will replace your traditional air purifier, vacuum cleaner, and steam cleaner, changing the way you clean forever! Water has always been nature's way to clean. We routinely wash our clothes, dishes and even ourselves with water. Now we can finally do the same for our carpets and upholstery. Your new Thermax AF1 washes away the stagnant, recirculated contaminants from your air, furnishings, and flooring, trapping them within the water while you clean. Your Thermax AF1 then easily converts into a hot water extraction system capable of washing deeply embedded oils, stains, and greases from the fibers of your carpet and upholstery -- for unsurpassed water washed cleanliness. Using your new Thermax AF1 to clean is a more thorough and healthier way to clean. Our patented system operates constantly at maximum airflow efficiency, unlike traditional dry bag and bagless type vacuums that can lose over 50% of their airflow (cleaning ability) when they are only one-third full. Because the aqua filter is emptied and cleaned after each vacuuming, the contaminants are permanently removed from your home -- not left in a filthy bag or dry basin, only to be blown back into the indoor environment through the filter's pores each time you vacuum. Your new Thermax AF1 Home Environment Cleaning System simply washes away the worry of indoor air pollution forever! Thermax AF1 Features & Benefits The Thermax AF1 has many features, including Thermax's total air treatment, Thermax's home environment cleaning system, and many standard attachments that come with the AF1. Thermax's Total Air Treatment Water Wash Deodorize & Sanitize Aromatize Vaporize Humidify & Dehumidify Thermax's Home Environment Cleaning System Drawbacks of Conventional Vacuums for Allergy Sufferers Standard Attachments Patented 10ft.

Bosch BSG81396UC Premium Prestige Canister Vacuum - Free Shipping Bosch engineers worked for 3 years painstakingly designing and testing each element of the Premium Series vacuums so that they would not only improve cleaning effectiveness, but also make vacuuming easier, faster and more comfortable. From cutting edge-filtration to its fingertip controls, the Premium Series is the pinnacle of modern-day vacuum engineering.Only maximum suction power can really eliminate the finest dirt, stubborn house mites, pollen and bacteria from your home and achieve the level of cleanliness you demand. Suction power is not only determined by the maximum power of the motor, but by the motor and the floor tool combined. Therefore, the combined suction power of these two forces together is what determines how clean your floors will be. Bosch has created a high-speed fan and a technically engineered suction hose that assures optimal air flow dynamics. Thanks to this fine tuning, power loss is considerably reduced and the suction power on the floor tool is increased. In addition, enough air flows through even the finely-pored extra-thick HEPA filter to achieve peak suction values. These floor tools not only clean with power and precision, they also feature a considerably higher level of hygiene efficiency due to the unique Bosch filter system.Bosch includes much more than you would expect in a vacuum. Nozzles that change from carpet to hard floor mode with the step of a switch, cords that rewind simply by unplugging them, and dust containers that empty and close without your hands ever touching the dirt. Brilliant thinking resulting in features that make cleaning faster, easier and more comfortable is a Bosch trademark. Bosch vacuums turn floor care into an art. Dust particles - a massive risk Dust is made up of tiny particles, portions of fibers, pollen and flakes of dead skin which form a breeding-ground for dust mites and bacteria. This no doubt represents a health hazard. Dust mites, mold spores, pollen and animal dander can all cause allergic reactions when inhaled. Although most vacuum cleaners clean the floor thoroughly, they then spoil it all by blowing millions of dust particles and bacteria back out through the filter system into the air, where they can contaminate the area all over again. Dust allergy sufferers can breathe easy Bosch dust bags undergo antimicrobial treatment, which prevents fungal spores and bacteria from multiplying. The filter systems clean the exhaust air so thoroughly that it is actually cleaner than the surrounding air in the room. And when the dust bag is changed, the special design of the hygienic seal traps the dirt inside so it can't escape. Effective filter technology for perfect hygiene The HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters fitted into the Premium series vacuums retain 99.97% of all dust particles and even trap odors.
