We are lucky to live in a day and age where we have access to a huge number of technological and mechanical devices that quite simply make our lives, both at work and home easier than ever before in human history. We tend to take inventions such as microwaves, dishwashers, televisions and many other inventions for granted. We also forget just how backbreaking life would be without many of our modern conveniences. Take for instance the humble vacuum cleaner which allows us to enjoy a more hygienic (and simply) cleaner home environment that was simply not the case only a few hundred years ago.
However, a vacuum cleaner is one of those devices that we don’t miss until its gone. It’s important o keep an eye on the mechanical health of devices such as this. The failure of the device can significantly impact on the quality of our lives. So what are the four signs that your vacuum cleaner might be in urgent need of repair?
The first sign that all is not well with the vacuum cleaner that you are using regularly is the fact that the suction power has become diminished. If the vacuum cleaner seems unable to perform the simplest of tasks or deal with dirt that would ordinarily be a challenge (such as dust) there a few issues that might need to be addressed. One of the most common causes of a reduction in cleaning power is faulty with the suction hose. These often become split or damaged. If this is the case then you should be able to source a replacement part fairly easily. The more serious issue might be a part that is about to suffer mechanical failure. If a new hose does not solve the problem then it may be time to take it into the dealer or another qualified repair specialist. This sign also applies to a robot vacuum cleaner.
Listen to your vacuum cleaner if it is making unusual noises that are an early sign that there has been a mechanical failure of some time. Taking that vacuum cleaner in to be repaired as soon as possible can save hundreds of dollars that might otherwise be required to replace it completely.
A burning smell is often associated with a motor that is simply not coping with the challenges of the job at hand. Most repair shops will carry replacement motors. However, it might also be caused by the fact that the make and model of the3 vacuum cleaner is not suitable for the job at hand -you may need to consider the purchase of a more powerful model. This can often be a problem when smaller models have to deal with thick carpeting.
Your vacuum cleaner might also not be operating at peak efficiency due to the fact that the filters might need to be cleaned or replaced. this should be done after the bag has been filled six or seven times. Filter replacements are also widely available.
In short, use all of your senses to pay attention to your vacuum, each one will let you know if it is struggling to cope.
