What do you like/love when vacuuming?

[vacuumlover]

Well, basically just what things do you like when vacuuming?

I.E ~ I love hearing the beater bar on say, a Hoover Junior or hearing the agitation etc. I (for some odd reason) like hearing the wind down. I LOVE vacuums with really bright headlights. (This is aimed at uprights) I also like hearing when things rattle up. When using a Turbopower Total System I love hearing the pitch change when putting it into tools setting.

This applies to modern and vintage vacuums.

I look forward to hearing what else people like/love

Ooh, lovely thread idea Emma!

I like when you use either a Dyson DC07, DC14 or DC33 and you are using it normally, then you push it upright, the changeover valve makes a nice whistle and then diverts the suction, then WHOOSH goes the suction as it starts sucking from the hose XD

Also, I like when I suck something up and you can hear it go up the tubes.

I like when you vacuum he edge of a rug up and when you pull the vacuum back it gets sucked up and the cleaner head lifts up.

I love my vintage Kirby's and seeing their big puffy bags. I love seeing the satisfying carpet lines as you vacuum yourself out of a room. With my new-to-me Rainbow, I love seeing all the crud I just got out of my house, watching it pour into the toilet and flushing it away!

 

[vacuumlover]

awesome

I also forgot to say that i love seeing the track lines in carpets too

 

[parwaz786]

Me too! I like when I push the vacuum forward and the suction seals the head onto the carpet then you pull the machine back slowly and that is a perfect groom mark

 

[hvrvaclvr]

Seeing the carpet lines, and hearing the dirt that you can't see being picked up!

 

[blackheart]

Hmm

Grooming.

The sound of dirt passing through the machine whether it's the sound of debris hitting a direct air machine's fan or debris passing through a hose, there's something just so satisfying about it.

Agitation. I like being able to feel the agitation of the machine as I'm using as it gives me the idea that i'm really deep cleaning.

Same with me-like the sound of stuff picked up going thru the vacuums fan and sometime the "thoop" of the stuff into the bag-esp with the NSS M1.You know the stuff was picked up-otherwise the feel and rattling of the debris going thru the hose and wands.Then the spin down of the motor-and seeing the bag slowly deflate-and of course it poofing up on start up.And yes,the vibration of the roller brush on the carpet!And with loose surface stuff-seeing it dance around before being picked up.Vacuums CAN be entertaining besides being useful for cleaning!

 

[vacuumlover]

Very nice replies

 

[vacuumlover]

Heres a video I did of the agitation that I just love to hear. Yes I know the bearings sound horrid i'm getting round to replacing them once I have stocked up.

 

[parwaz786]

OOH yes I like that too! When you use it on a rubber backed rug especially so satifying. I even hear my neighbour's Dyson DC33 making that noise! I think they have a rubber backed rug in the kitchen

 

[vacuumlover]

@parwaz786

unfortunately we don't have any rubber backed mats so I wouldn't know what it sounds like

 

[parwaz786]

It's like sucking up a REALLY thin carpet with a seal on the back of it

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I enjoy hearing that HOOVER Convertible motor start,

love that hum when the beater hits the carpet, seeing that bag inflate, light go on, seeing the carpet get clean.. AND,  seeing those great tracks in the carpet.

 

[vacmaster]

oh yessssss! I LOVE THE SOUND OF REALLY STRONG AGITATION GOING LIKE GGRGGRGRGGRGRGGRGRGRGRGGRGRGRGRGRGGRGRGGRGGGRGGRGRRRR

 

[suckolux]

I hear it more as thump thump thump

 

[kirbysthebest]

Actually

Good agitation sounds more like PURRRRRRRRRRRRR.

 

[suckolux]

I will admint, mine are more area rugs, probably sound different.I always enjoyed the sound of my older Kirbys starting up too
