What do you like/love when vacuuming?

[sebo_fan]

I do miss having my vintage Hoover uprights! I loved the hum of my Hoover Senior whenever it was switched on although I disliked the fact that it never cleaned properly to the edges. The Hoover Junior U1104 was better in those respects. Also the Junior could take a fair amount of pushing under low furniture which my Senior wasn't so good with - light beige colours seems to hide the scratches better than the blue hood on my old Senior.

@gottahaveahoover I like that to (Albeit iv'e only heard it via videos as mine has a broken fan :/ )

@sebo_fan Agreed. I do like the seniors and juniors but I would rather have a Turbopower

I don't really care for the actual act of vacuuming very much. I'm not much of a clean nut - so I let Donnie do the housework. However, I do love hearing the 75th Anniversary Edition Rainbow start up. The brushless switched reluctance motor has a very unique sound as the field coils energize and make the armature spin.

The only other sound I enjoy with vacuums, is the sound of a Hoover model 700 starting. It has a sort of 'sing' to it as it starts. I can always tell a 700 by it's start up.

One thing I hate with a passion is vacuuming up cat liter with a dirty fan machine. I don't know why. It doesn't bother me when its a clean air machine.

For me:

I HATE the sound of a lot of new vacuums. I find that high-pitched whine annoying and unsatisfying. I do like the sound of an old Hoover starting up. I also like using an upright for carpets and a canister for everything else.

@fantomfan

Same

I like the noise the UK Dyson DC07's, DC14/33's make, even with a blocked filter... Ahh even better with the brushbar on, ooh yeah xD

@parwaz786

There could be a good reasong against kitty litter and direct air machines---the litter is ABRASIVE to the fan.Probably better to SWEEP up the kitty litter.Esp if the cat USED it!

 

[suckolux]

Plus it creates quite the racket going through it too

 

[suckolux]

Another thing I enjoy when cleaning, watching the beater bar raise the stuff out of the carpet, then have it dissapear ! Love the sound of hearing stuff go up a hose too, gone!

@suckolux @tolivac

@suckolux ~ That's why I don't like vacuuming up cat liter

@tolivac ~ I don't see why one would vacuum up soiled cat liter lol

 

[suckolux]

I can answer that! Litter box installed in enclosed garage over thick pile carpet! You can't sweep it up. Dirty litter gets the shop vac, clean litter just the upright. He has huge furry paws and it helps stop some getting tracked into the house, via the kitty door

@suckolux

ours is just in the kitchen and lol yeah one of mine has huge furry paws

 

[suckolux]

Let me just add, last long hair..

 

[suckolux]

Oh and I can't use clumping, as he for some reason has to stand in his water dish? Wet packed clay all over the house and furniture, that took no time to figure out

 

[vacuumlover]

@suckolux

lol

 

[vacuumlover]

Here's another thing I like. Please ignore the fact it's filmed outside, it's the only quietest place.
