Did you know that there are three different types of vertical vacuums on the market; direct air, bypass and now tandem air design with their own advantages and disadvantages? If not, you may not make the right decision when buying a vacuum.
The first vertical vacuum was a direct air design. Straight and point vertical vacuum engines were located as close to the floor as possible, therefore dirt and debris had a smaller distance to the place in the bag. This type of large fan with paddle fans actually pushes air through the vacuum into the bag. The bags were after the engine and could probably even be crowded without damage to the vacuum.
The larger surface area of the bag system provides better airflow and higher suction. This design means excellent carpet cleaning ability for your home. However, most, but not all models of direct air units were made mainly for carpets not for bare floors, which can create a problem for the modern consumer, who has both. It is important to note that direct air intakes that clean both carpets and bare floors are available but not widely sold.
Bypassing the vertical vacuum is by far the most common and widely sold vacuum. When you enter the store at a discount, basically that's all you see. Essentially, a bypass design is a more complex design that offers fewer carpet cleaning options. In these designs, the engine is placed behind the hose and filter system (bag or bag). The hose was a feature that many people wanted, but in their quest to find the perfect vacuum that can cope with carpets, floors and awnings for laying the floor in one, they lack some vacuuming capabilities.
Think about this construction, where the engine should actually draw air from the floor through the distance from the hose, then through the filter system (in bags or without bags) also through the dirt that is picked up and then finally exhausted through the engine. Because of the distance that air must travel, the ability to clean carpets is sacrificed. It is important when you decide to go with the bypass block to get one that has a powerful suction motor. So you make up something for which you will surely lose at the end. In addition, most of these vacuum cleaners have the ability to clean both the carpet and the bare floor.
The most revolutionary vertical vacuum design is Tacony's patented design. This is a tandem design. It actually puts both one air vacuum engine and the bypass vacuum engine in one vacuum. For everyone around, cleaning is the only design that does not sacrifice, but in fact improves productivity, especially deep carpet cleaning, and also includes a bare floor and above floor cleaning tools.
Finally, when choosing a vacuum for a purchase, you need to focus on finding the one that suits your needs and home. You can get a bypass that cleans well, you can also get direct air that cleans well, or you can get a tandem air design. You just have to know where to go and where to find them, and show the differences. Chances are right under the nose; your local family vacuum store. They have the knowledge to help you find exactly what you are looking for so that you can make the best choice for you.
