If you are investing in an electric cord floor burnisher, whether for burnishing or polishing, it’s recommended that you get a dust catch as well. Otherwise, the high speed of these machines can create a real dust problem.

You've heard of the Dyson vacuum. Care to guess when the first of many prototypes for this cyclonic vacuum cleaner was developed? If you guessed 1978, you're right. The first retail release for the technology was in 1993. That means the research and development required to develop a new type of vacuuming technology took 15 years.

We’ve come a long way. The inventor of the first vacuum cleaner tested his idea by personally sucking detritus up through a tube to establish a baseline pressure. It did not take long before he began using mechanical suction.

Do you know who invented the first vacuum cleaner? It was Daniel Hess of West Union, Iowa, in 1860. His invention was called a "carpet sweeper," which had a rotating brush and consisted of a complex mechanism that generated suction.

The scientific principle behind how vacuum cleaners work is relatively simple. Vacuum cleaners create pressure drops, which suck dust and dirt into bags or canisters. It's the same way a person is able to suck liquid up through a straw.

Have you ever had a vacuum that just wasn’t very good at doing its job? This happens a lot. The solution is having a central vacuum installed in your house or building. A central vacuum system has 3-5 times more cleaning power over normal vacuums.

Modern vacuum tubes are based on the concept of the Audion, which is a heated “cathode” that boils off electrons into a vacuum. They pass through a grid, which controls the electron current. The electrons then strike the anode and are absorbed.

So what’s the difference between traditional floor buffers and floor burnishers? Floor burnishers are high speed machines that are actually able to rotate at more than 10 times the speed of a conventional buffer (usually between 1,500 and 3,000 RPMs).

Not sure whether to go with a bagged or a bagless vacuum? Testing has shown that both types of vacuum cleaners clean equally well, so, in most cases your decision will be based on personal preferences. Bagless cleaners save you the trouble of having to replace bags, but they are much messier to deal with.
