There have been some really great
new innovations in types of vacuum cleaners that have come on
to the vacuum cleaner market in recent years. It seems that
vacuum cleaner manufacturers are really starting to listen to
the commercial cleaning companies and modeled new vacuum
cleaners to fill niches for specific vacuum cleaning tasks.
What would be the perfect vacuum cleaner? The perfect vacuum
cleaner would be different for certain types of vacuum cleaner
tasks but might cross over into other areas of vacuuming if
needed.
The biggest trend in vacuum cleaners in the past few years is
weight. Lighter vacuum cleaners reduce strain on the operator
and are easier to maneuver. The problem with light weight
vacuum cleaners is that when you reduce weight you also reduce
the power of the vacuum cleaner by utilizing a smaller motor
and weaker components. In recent years as new technologies
have entered the vacuum cleaner market we see a trend in more
efficient and smaller motors that yield the same power as the
motor of 10 years ago. As the vacuum cleaner manufacturers
perfect these latest technologies, vacuum cleaners will get
lighter without the loss of brush speed and suction power.
Vacuum maneuverability is a key issue in the commercial
cleaning world. In the commercial cleaning industry labor
dollars have to be cut in order to make the same profits of
years past due to fierce competition and the flood of new
commercial cleaning companies to the cleaning market. The
speed in which cleaning company employees can clean a building
and maintain a high level of quality is becoming a huge factor
in running an efficient cleaning operation. One tool that is
being utilized by commercial cleaning companies to aid in
labor savings is the back pack cordless vacuum cleaner. Until
now battery power and weight have down-played the role of the
cordless vacuum cleaner. With new lighter weight and more
powerful batteries, vacuum cleaner units can be developed that
rival their plug in cousins. The ability to vacuum quickly
without having to deal with a 100 foot cord is now a reality.
New back pack vacuum cleaners have come to the vacuum market
that tote incredible power packing just a few extra pounds
over the standard 120 volt plug in back pack vacuum.
Commercial cleaning employees can now vacuum the same area in
just over 70% of the original time it took the old plug in
vacuum cleaners. These new rechargeable back pack vacuums cost
a little more in start up costs but will save commercial
cleaning company owners a lot of money in employee labor
savings.
Noise has always been an issue when vacuuming in public areas.
The old trend for vacuuming populated areas during business
hours has been to use a mechanical sweeper vacuum sometimes
called a hokey. These smaller vacuum cleaners work great on
extremely small and light debris but lack the power and
suction for completing the task with perfect results. The
latest tread in mechanical sweepers is to get rid of the word
mechanical and add the word vacuum. New vacuum sweepers are
emerging in the lobby and restaurant markets and are packing
quite a punch. These new rechargeable electric sweepers are
ideal for picking up wet or dry debris and can run up to 2
hours on a single charge and have the option of multiple
batteries with recharging units for extended use.
