What is a vacuum cleaner?
A vacuum cleaner is a home appliance used to clean floors, upholstery, and fabric furniture sections, but primarily is used on carpeted floors or stairs primarily. They’re commonly simply called a vacuum in many places.
They work by using an electrically powered motor and fan to pull air upward from the floor, creating a suction (vacuum force) to remove and trap dirt particles and other debris. Many also use a rotating brush to dislodge dirt in order to better allow for its removal.
They also typically use a bag or canister to trap dirt, dust, hair, and contaminants to prevent it from being re-released. Vacuums are available in a variety of styles and designs including battery-powered portable models.
