Many people choose their vacuum cleaner based on suction and power, believing more is better. Let’s compare a 1000W with a 1400W vacuum cleaner using a floor tool and a crevice tool.   Refer to Table B which summarizes the results. Table B 1000W Vacuum Cleaner  1400W Vacuum Cleaner Input Power (W) 1000 1400 Output Power (W) 36.5 40.8 Efficiency = Output/Input (%) 3.6 2.9 Heating Power (W)  963.5 1359.3 Airflow Floor Tool (l/s) 34.0 35.3 Velocity Pressure Floor Tool (Pa)  1073 1156 Airflow Crevice Tool (l/s) 22.0 ..read more

Suction is the pressure difference between two areas. Pressure balancing takes place when these two areas are connected, causing air to move from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area. At the floor tool, suction is weak because of the distance from the motor, and poor swivel joint seals in the hose. The seal between the floor tool edges and carpet is close to non-existent. Suction doesn’t explain dust removal. We know from experience that the best cleaning performance is provided when the vacuum cleaner filters are clean and the airflow is high. We also know when we spot clean, we do ..read more

It was an honour to host Ed Husic, Shadow Minister for Industry and Innovation. As an iconic member of parliament, his inspection was welcomed with open arms and we provided him with a tour of our Glendenning warehouse and factory. Mr Husic and his associate visited in March to inspect our work and personally congratulate us on our innovation in the Rugged Industries vacuum cleaner design and engineering. Australian Pride We’re proud to be an Australian-born product and strive to uphold our name. As the world’s first commercial bagless cyclone backpack vacuum cleaner, we manufacture locally to ..read more

Due to the global COVID pandemic, cleaning and sanitising surfaces is vitally important - now more than ever. We can no longer simply rely on alcohol-based hand sanitiser and personal protective equipment, we have to take it a step up to ensure that we’re COVID clean.  As of February 2020 the Advantage Bagless vacuum cleaner has been technically upgraded to be more efficient in cleaning and picking up dust and bacteria particles. What did we Change?  Traditional, bagged vacuum cleaners will suck up dirt to a point where the bag becomes full. While this can be effective, it’s not ..read more

When you think of a vacuum cleaner, more than likely you’ll think of the bagged vacuum model.  However - and most notably within the commercial cleaning industry - these units were rapidly becoming a costly problem for these businesses.  More than three decades ago, cyclone vacuums made their way onto the market by finding a solution to clogged vacuum bags. The solution lies in the separation of rubbish from the vacuum air - i.e. a cyclone separator. Vacuum cleaners collect and concentrate rubbish from a large area into a small vessel, which includes unwanted microbes such as bacteri ..read more
