Tips for using a vacuum cleaner to save electricity

(Baonghean.vn) -Vacuum cleaners are popular appliances for cleaning the house quickly and effectively.However, with high capacity, to use the vacuum cleaner safely and save electricity, you need to pay attention when using it.

Here are some tips to use a vacuum cleaner safely and save electricity.

Choose the right machine with the right capacity for the job and space used.

This is a very important issue to ensure energy savings. Each type of machine has a different design and capacity, so when choosing to buy, you should consult the seller to choose the right machine.

There are many types of vacuum cleaners, including household vacuum cleaners, industrial vacuum cleaners, mini vacuum cleaners, handheld vacuum cleaners, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to consult and choose appropriately. Do not choose a machine with a capacity that is too large compared to the area that needs to be cleaned; this way, when the machine is operating, it will not work at full capacity, causing waste of money and electricity.

Before each use of the machine

Check the motor, if the machine's lubrication is poor and the brush is worn too much, it will lead to poor suction power, prolonged cleaning time and waste of electricity.

Check and make sure the filter bag is clean. If the bag is full of dust, it will block the air passage, reduce suction power, make the machine work harder and consume more electricity.

Replace immediately if the dust bag is torn, otherwise dust will get in and jam the bearings, reduce insulation and damage the motor.

Check the safety of the outside of the electrical cord, socket, and plug.

While in use

Always check the air duct, suction mouth, flexible pipe and air inlet hole, do not let any objects block these parts.

Regularly check the motor shaft and bearings, check the lubrication and wear of the electric brush. If the lubrication is poor or the brush is worn a lot, the suction power of the machine will be reduced.

Let the machine work continuously (about 2-5 minutes, turn off the power once, stop for 1 minute and then let the machine work again) because when operating for a long time, the machine will get very hot, affecting the engine, causing heat loss.

Use the machine to suck up hot objects and sharp metals. If you suck up hot objects, the engine will heat up suddenly, or if you suck up sharp metals, it will damage the engine.

Things to avoid

Use a vacuum cleaner with a voltage of 100V-AC because when operating at this voltage, the machine's power output is very strong but it is not certain that the dust is sucked up effectively, so it is easy to waste electricity.

Using the machine during peak hours, the electricity is very weak and can easily cause an electrical short circuit that can damage the machine and cause danger.

Absolutely avoid vacuuming objects that are too large for the machine.

Use the vacuum cleaner in damp places, because steam and humidity will reduce the insulation of the motor, causing electrical leakage, posing a danger to the user.

Never run the machine to the end of the cord (near the outlet) to unplug the wall outlet while the machine is running. This will cause an electrical arc that will damage the plug./.
