Vacuum manufacturers offer a wide variety of models and styles with prices ranging from under $50 to over $1000. No matter what brand or model you own, your machine's cleaning performance will degrade over time. There are several reasons for the drop in performance and each will be discussed along with the remedy.
Nearly all vacuums have a rotating brush called brushroll or beater bar. As the brushroll spins, it agitates the carpet. This action not only sweeps the carpet, but also vibrates the carpet which shakes dirt free allowing it to be vacuumed up. With use, the bristles of the brushroll wear down becoming shorter, and may reach the point where they no longer make contact with the carpet at all. The brushroll bearings will eventually wear out as well. For best results, replace your machine's brushroll each year or when it becomes obviously worn. Consult your owner's manual for instructions.
Brushrolls are most often driven by a belt, and belts are also subject to wear. A worn belt can slip, resulting in a loss of power to the brushroll. The brushroll may stop spinning entirely. Belts are typically quite inexpensive and easy to replace. It is a good idea to keep a spare. Your owner's manual will have details.
The vacuum's bag or filter(s) are another potential cause of performance loss. Even bagless vacuums have one or more filters which must be cleaned or replaced (depending on the type) in order to maintain a proper level of suction. Poor suction results in poor cleaning and can also cause the vacuum to overheat.
Keep your vacuum in shape by replacing these parts yourself or by visiting your local vacuum repair professional. You'll be rewarded with a cleaner home and healthier air for your family.
