WILL LOWERING THE VACUUM HEIGHT CLOSER TO THE CARPET PICK UP MORE DIRT?
Running your vacuum too low on the carpet height position makes a vacuum clean less, and puts strain on your belts. (HINT) Start your carpet height on its highest position, turn the vacuum on and move down until you hear the vacuum change pitch. That's the right carpet height.
   
WHAT CAUSES VACUUMS TO BE LOUD OR NOISY?
Will typically be one of the following:
  • Broken fan
  • Bad brush roller
  • Bad motor bearings
  • Vacuum is clogged
   
DOES HIGHER AMPERAGE MEAN MORE POWER?
Not necessarily. Amperage denotes how much electricity is being used. Some vacuums use less electricity but have more powerful motors.
   
WHAT IS BETTER UPRIGHT OR CANISTER?
70% prefer uprights and 30% prefer canisters. However we have found that whatever you were brought up with is what you will prefer.
   
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A BAGLESS CLEANER?
No need to purchase vacuums bags, and most bagless cleaners offer HEPA filtration.
   
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN TO CHANGE BAGS OR FILTERS?
Most people change bags once a month and filters once a year, but this varies depending on usage.
