Hovering Vacuum Cleaner

Millions of housewives all over the world can not imagine their lives without vacuum cleaners today, in spite of the fact that these very useful machines have a range of defects. The bigger defect is that the vacuum cleaners often spoil the floor by their wheels. Millions of housewives certainly thought more than once that it would be great if the vacuum cleaners could hover in the air.
After 8 years of laborious work, such a dream was fulfilled by 44-year old Scottish inventor – Mike Rooney. Earlier Mike sold vacuum cleaners, but now he has developed a flying device for cleaning. Of course, the «Air Rider» – this is a name of new machine – is not a fairy-tale carpet-plain, and one cannot fly by it. Nevertheless, this wheelless vacuum cleaner, in spite of a solid 5 kg weight, can hover 3,5 mm high over the floor. This is not enough to talk about a real flight, and almost imperceptible by human eyes, but quite enough to not scratch the floor. Moreover, the «Air Rider» makes the work essentially easier, because to move it through the room, one should make quite less efforts, than during the work with usual models of even very light vacuum cleaners.
A device that allows a wonderful vacuum cleaner to hover in the air is located at the bottom of machine. The air is sucked by vacuum cleaner and goes out of it on a very high speed, that allows it to slightly lift over the surface. Circulation speed is over 320 km/h. This is higher than speed of the most sophisticated model of «Ferrari» – «Ferrari Modena», which can gather speed «only» to 290 km/h. Such a high speed is provided by 1400 W power engine, protected from overheating by a special thermal device.
There is no doubt that Mike Rooney's invention will have a desirable future and great commercial success. Optimistic expectations are confirmed by a long queue of 80(!) countries, which is interested in wonder-machine and willing to produce it. But the first who will use the «Air Rider» will be British housewives. The «Ospri» company from Skarboro has started to produce the hovering vacuum cleaners. The «Air Rider» appeared in the shops of foggy Albion in November, 2004. Anyone who wishes can buy it for about £250.

Choose a vacuum cleaner properly.

Is it hard to choose a vacuum cleaner? This appliance is not exotic one, there is a great assortment of cleaners in the shops – you can take any one if you like its appearance and the manufacturer's guarantee is provided. But actually the situation is not so easy: the modern vacuum cleaners vastly differ from each other in size, complexity and functionality, and thus your choice requires some special knowledge.

So, what do you need to know about vacuum cleaners? What is mainly required your attention while choosing?

Power. The more electric motor is powerful, the more effectively it copes with dust and dirt. The optimum variant is models with power of 350-400W, and for the big houses – 500-600W.
Cord Length. Some manufacturers manage to supply their vacuum cleaners with cord of 3-4 m long – to use such appliance you will need an extension cord for sure! The cord's length must be not less than 6 m, at a pinch – 5 m. However, a very long cord is also excessive: there is no benefit of it, but you risk to get tangled in such a long cord.
Operation Mode. Vacuum cleaners can perform dry and wet cleaning. The dry cleaning is suction of dust and small parts (sand, paper bits, etc.). Devices with such a limited functionality are cheap and do not reliable because of their simplicity. Unlike them the vacuum cleaners which are able to do wet cleaning are rather expensive, and if broken – require a competent repair. However, this is fully compensated by their facilities: «wet cleaning» proposes not only the floor washing, but also the carpets, window curtains and even furniture cleaning.
