So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Vacuum Cleaner Belt Reviews

By Kent Wallman


The belts for vacuum cleaners can come in many styles and hundreds of different sizes. Normally, vacuums use a belt to drive an agitation device, which is also known as a brush roller. With very few exceptions, most vacuums will use either a flat belt, round belt, or a geared style belt.

The type of belt that your vacuum must use is a very important thing, not only for durability sake, but performance sake as well. The under lying condition and type of belt your vacuum must use to operate will have a massive amount of impact on the machines ability to clean your carpet. The proper way it uses the agitation is considered nearly 70% of the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner.

The suction device action is that important. The suction is what will pull of the filthy dirt grime that comes off the carpet into the waste department of the vacuum cleaner. The suction ability, or air sucking, is the key stone when especially cleaning super hard floors or when using other types of strong attachments. Without suction blows happening, a vacuum cleaner could only get a little amount of stuff to come to the surface when sucking to the collection bin. Although the agitation device and suction are highly important when getting a proper vacuum job done, the agitation unit is also what actually strokes as it cleans the carpet or floors.

Almost all types of manufacturers use a brush roller device that are made usually of wood, metal, or even plastic parts that are driven by a suction device or brushing motor through the use of three or four different types of belts - round, geared, or flat vacuum belts.

The round belts are the earliest type as they were easy to produce and easy to engineer. The round style, unfortunately, is normally run in the same space as vacuumed dirt. What this means, is that almost all of the dirt, staples, and hair you vacuum up will pass around the belt; cutting, nicking, or even scratching it along the way.

Most models and the Eureka vacuum belts have to stretch quite ways, placing more stress on the roller unit and the motor bearing house. The round belt although is still very common, and stilled used today.

The flat style of vacuum belts are mostly run in a circular fashion, not like the twisted route the round belt goes through to deliver the performance in the appropriate direction.

The style is what allows the production of these vacuum cleaners to operate the belt off of one side of the unit and one side of the brush rolling device mechanism, instead of the direct center where all of the dirt is flying past. This is really a spectacular innovation, as it eliminates premature wear and tear causing failure due to the soiled and filthy dirty messy stinky belt path.

The latest belt design is considered to be the best in the industry. Even though there are many variations out there, the geared belt is the most efficient means to drive a brush. The geared belt is also known as a positive brush system because the energy of the brush motor is transmitted directly to the brush.

Both the brush and the motor are firmly locked by a bunch of fixed teeth which are attached to each other through a gear cogged belt system unit used without tension. The resulting direct model connection results in higher more effective advanced cleaning because the brush will drive a fast speed even if it is old and ready to break on you.

The flat style can stretch as they become warm, which will cause them to lose tension. When you use your vacuum, the belt is always going to stretch. Believe it or not, it will lose it's tension the moment you put it up to rest in the closet.

There is although, one real disadvantage to geared belts - the high cost of the vacuum. Geared belts are usually used on dual motor vacuums. Not do these require the use of a separate suction and brush motor, but it also requires electronic sensory systems to tell you when something is broken or badly wrong with the brush.
