We’d all be lost without our vacuum cleaner, right? From the kids walking in all kinds of things to those routine spills and messes, wouldn’t our homes look terrible without that trusty tool to help us out? And while we all recognize the value of the vacuum in getting our homes spick and span, this is a multi-purpose device that shouldn’t be condemned to the confines of your home. Can you think of anywhere else that could do with a bit of a sprucing up? That’s right – your car!

Though most of us probably don’t spend as much time in our car as we do in our homes, there are many of us that come close – or at least it feels that way! With the commute to work, the grocery shop trip, and picking the kids up from all kinds of events and occasions, it is little wonder that our vehicle soon begins to feel like a second home. And since we spend so much time in them, shouldn’t we invest the same time and energy into keeping them looking good as we do on the other places we spend our time?

There’s little doubt that our environment has a huge impact on our wellbeing, both in terms of our physical and our emotional health. Haven’t you ever felt overwhelmed in your home when everything seems in chaos? Cluttered counters and worktops make us feel stressed, reminding us of all we haven’t done yet, and refusing to let us feel at peace. While many of us make a concerted effort to keep our homes as nicely as we deserve, it seems the other places that spend our time get just a little neglected.

So it’s time to take the vacuum out and do a job on that car. With all the time we spend it there, it’s easy for the mess to build up without us even consciously noticing it. But you can be sure it has an effect. A car can be a dangerous weapon if we use it in the wrong frame of mind – and you can be sure that our ability to drive safely is impaired when there are piles of junk around our feet.

While you can purchase a special vacuum just for your car, you don’t need one of these to get started. Just drag the vacuum out of the house, using an extension cord if necessary. Get rid of all those candy wrappers and dust and dirt and just wait to see it the difference it makes. Soon you will find a sense of peace in this important place, helping keep you and your family a whole lot safer.

Like a lot of inventions over the years the invention of the vacuum cleaner is also surrounded with great debate as to who came up with the first vacuum cleaner. We have to go as  far back as the 1800′s to try and understand what people had in their homes and how they went about cleaning.

Firstly we can trace one of the earliest and better known devices back to 1860 when David Hess came up with a way to solve a problem which housewives were having at the time. In those days people used rugs on the bare wooden floors to try and keep the dust down to a minimum. Of course all the dust remained on the rug and the only way off was to hang the rug and whack it with a stick. Shortly after came the rug-beater, which resembled a tennis racket.

However, it was only David Hess who thought there must be an easier way to do the rug cleaning and he came up with a Carpet Sweeper which had a rotating brush with a bellows system which provided the suction. Is or was this a ‘vacuum cleaner’? The machine also consisted of two water chambers which collected the fine dust and particles. The only problem with this invention is that there is no proof it was ever produced.

Then along came Melville Bissell, who’s surname will sound familiar if you know your vacuum cleaners, who also came up with a carpet sweeper that picked up dirt and deposited it in a pan behind the sweeper head.

But it wasn’t until 1899, when what can be described as the first ‘motorized’ cleaner, was invented by John Thurman and it was another few years before Hubert Booth of London came up with the first electric vacuum. The only problem was that the vacuum was so big it was stored on the back of a
trailer outside the house and a very long hose was run inside to do the cleaning.

As time went by more and more inventors had a go at coming up with the ultimate cleaner and one which could be used in the home without much fuss and was portable. Then along came James Spangler in 1908 with the first portable suction cleaner. This cleaner proved to be extremely popular and for some reason he sold the patent to William Hoover. Yes, the man who’s name has become synonymous with house cleaning. The fact that the Hoover name stuck was a testament to how good and popular the early cleaners were and now nearly 100 years later the vacuum cleaner can still be best described a clunky, noisy piece of hardware. Although innovative designs such as the Dyson and the next generation robotic Roomba are starting to give us some idea of what we can expect of 21st  century vacuum cleaners.

Whoever is responsible for the invention of the vacuum cleaner, of which I believe there are many, would be proud to know that the principles of their early day designs still remain in vacuumcleaners in millions of homes around the world.

The Dyson DC15 is a great vacuum to hit the market, as it is the first and only vacuum cleaner to feature the very unique ball.  Even though robotic vacuum cleaners are becoming the most popular types of vacuum cleaners, the DC15 is ideal for housewives who want a traditional vacuum cleaner with a twist. The Dyson DC15 upright vacuum has a large yellow ball that will allow the vacuum to pivot and roll with the greatest of ease. You can simply turn your wrist and the vacuum cleaner will change its direction.  The ability is something that is commonly associated with canister style vacuum cleaners. It also offers quite an interesting filtration system.  No matter what you may think or hear, Dyson vacuums don’t use filters in the way that most vacuum cleaners do. The air and dirt are sucked into the container where the outer cyclone removes large particles such as food, hair, and even fibers.  The air will then move into the shroud and inner cyclone where it is rotated with a higher velocity to drop fine particles of dust out of  the air.

From the inner cyclone, the air will move about through a washable inner foam pre filter where a majority of the particles will remain trapped. This feature helps the DC15 to keep dirt and debris trapped inside and out of the motor. The last step in the system after moving through the motor is the trip through the final HEPA filter.  The DC15 has a very strict filter system, which will prevent 99.9% of bacteria and mold from getting to your home.  The vacuum will suck it up and keep it inside of the vacuum where it belongs. Even though they aren’t very well known, Dyson has been around for many years.  They aren’t as popular or as well known as the bigger companies such as Hoover, although they offer you great quality and performance with their vacuum cleaners.  Unlike Hoover, Dyson works to improve on their own products as well as the competition with each product they release.

 The Dyson DC15 is also known for its suction power and attachments as well.  With the ball assembly, using attachments are a breeze.  The only problem you may have, is getting the hang of things.  The attachment wand is stored inside of the handle of the vacuum and is always attached. To use it, you lock the handle in the upright position then push a button on the front of the handle that will allow you to telescope the wand for use.

These days, vacuum cleaners are a familiar tool in any household cleaning arsenal, but this has not always been the case. In days gone by, cleaning was a job performed by using more primitive tools, like the trusty sweeping brush or broom. And while these tools were undoubtedly of enormous value to the house cleaner who had little else to work with, we have come a long way since then, and, in some ways, have come full circle.

It was the Industrial Revolution that set the cleaning world alight. Before that time, the sweeping brush was king, and really, it was probably quite adequate. But though the presence of heavy dust and grime increased during the revolution, as the cities in which many people lived became covered in soot and other industrial by-products, the dirt that was created was really not sufficient reason for housewives to become the queens of cleanliness they did. Around this time, though, a huge propaganda campaign was born that alarmed people with its prophecies. Health and lives were in mortal danger if dirt was not tamed, and cleaning products of all sorts witnessed an enormous jump in sales.

It was against this backdrop that the first vacuum cleaner came into being. Invented in Chicago in 1865, this hand pumped device lead the way in vacuum cleaner development. Followed by a range of similar devices, the design became more and more intricate as the years progressed, with the cleaners growing ever more ornate and multifunctional, being used as sideboards, among other things. However, requiring two people to operate it, this type of machine was less than user friendly.

The democratization of electricity availability opened new door in vacuum cleaner development. Emerging just after the turn of the twentieth century, the electric vacuum cleaner, made by brands such as Hoover, made housework easier for millions. Using a fan motor and a pillowcase as a dust collector, a man named Spangler began a trend. Soon after, William H. Hoover came aboard, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today we are eager to eliminate dirt from our lives as were our Industrial Revolution forefathers, and the choice of vacuum cleaners available today reflects this trend. And while housework can be a tiresome chore, it was this enthusiasm for cleanliness that brought the vacuum cleaner into our world, so that now, after a hundred years or so of technological development, we can rid our homes of dust and dirt in minutes.

You may have seen him on The Ellen Degeneres Show, the four-year-old who was the vacuum cleaner expert.  He showed the audience how a new vacuum and rug shampooer works, and he aced a flash card quiz which Ellen had created by using the logos of the top-selling or most popular vacuums.

Between the boy (I can’t recall his name—sorry) and Ellen, who was a vacuum saleswoman in her pre-stand-up fame days, maybe we could get a review or two of the best rated vacuum?  Then again, Ellen might be busy and have other things on her mind besides Hoovers, so let’s go to the next best sources—vacuum cleaner reviews by people like you and me, consumers who will tell the truth about the product you are interested in.

Since the vacuum can be an in item in which we make a healthy investment (the better ones aint cheap), let’s consider individual brands, what the consumers say about them, and how they rate with users—whether or not people make the model a best rated vacuum:

SHORT LIST of BEST RATED VACUUMS

Electrolux – The Electrolux EL1000A2 Pronto Bagless Stick Cyclonic Vacuum reviews are excellent at epinion.com, with this model earning 4 ½ stars from reviewers who said their new purchases were “excellent on hard floors,” “great on carpeted stairs,” and is versatile, looks great, and is always easy and convenient to use.

Hoover – While the Hoover H3030 FloorMate SpinScrub 500 Upright Wet/Dry Vacuum gets only 3 ½ stars from 15 epinions.com users—who say everything from “It’s worthy of the Jetsons!” to “It’s mediocre at best”, the ever traditional and modern Hoover S3765-040 Wind Tunnel Electric Bagless Canister Vacuum gets better overall reviews at amazon.com.  There, users gave an average of four stars,  with individuals ranking the model with 5 stars saying that although it “…looks a tad like an offshoot of Artoo-Detoo, it gets the job done in a jiffy,” and “This vacuum is absolutely wonderful!”  It got kudos, for example, for its versatility (goes in small areas, does linoleum and carpets, etc.), affordability, and powerful suction and beater bar action.

Miele – The Miele S514 Solaris Bagged Canister Vacuum gets five stars for ease of use, ease of cleaning, durability, and style, by users at epinions.com.  According to vacuum cleaner reviewers (who bought and use the model), the Miele is quiet, lightweight, has adjustable suction power, and is pretty impressive on the whole. 
These are only a few of the many reviews of many models, but the vacuum cleaner review as written by a real consumer seems, overall, to be a wiser source than the producer, distributor, or maker who says they/it are/is the most popular in the world or the best product on the market or blah blah yada yada.  Such reviews of which is which and which is the best rated vacuum in each category (of usability, ease of cleaning, affordability, and looks) might likely also be better than those of the four-year-old, whom we will have to wait for for his truly expert opinions?

That bastion of American tools, Black & Decker, produces the Pivot Vac and the Cyclonic Power Vac as complements to a very capable, well designed and well priced tool offering. I personally own the cordless drill with built in laser level. My favorite tool.

The Pivot Vac boasts a strong 18-volt motor, and  boasts impressive suction, with a 10-position, pivoting nozzle and an integrated extension nozzle allow you to clean in even the tightest places. Better still, the EZ Clean Wheel System features cyclonic action which keeps the filter cleaner longer, thereby enabling the suction power to stay longer.

The DustBuster Cyclonic Power Vac features the EZ Clean filter system, which prevents dirt from sticking to the filter for a stronger suction. It’s lightweight with a strong, 14.4 volt motor and a three-stage filtration system for clean air exhaust.

Oreck’s Cordless Zip Vac is the only rechargeable with a built-in light, which if you ever cleaned with them you know illuminates the path you are cleaning. Getting the tiniest of crumbs is no problem and you miss nothing!

As a twist  you can use the vacuum as a standard flashlight, as well. Keeping everything tidy, with self-stored attachments, including a crevice tool, keep everything you need to complete your cleaning task close at hand.

Dirt Devil KURV

This vacuum is a piece of modern design fit for a museum. And beautiful enough for table top. Lovely colors, including choco-latte, champagne, harbor sky and spice, make this a particularly fun rechargeable vacuum cleaner for home or office.

Motor: 9.6 volt motor and a bagless dirt cup.

Dirt Devil AccuCharge

The Dirt Devil AccuCharge, has a really strong motor with 15.6 volts. Energy Star approved it uses 70 percent less energy to charge than standard, hand held vacuum cleaners. The crevice tool makes reaching those tight spaces really easy, and the retractable bristle strip makes this a great hand held vacuum for home or office, or shop.
