How to increase the power of a vacuum cleaner for better suction and dust from the carpet? Do one useful thing - look at the filter system of your vacuum cleaner. It may become clogged and therefore lose suction power. The first in the filtration system is a bag, which is the main barrier to dust entering the vacuum cleaner with the flow. Open the lid of the dust container (it is usually latched), take out the bag that collects the garbage, pour its contents into the trash can and knock out the dust container well. After that, check it for integrity; if it has no holes, then insert it back, but do not press the bag against the hole that leads to the vacuum cleaner motor. Throw away the disposable bag and insert a new one.

The second filter, which serves to protect the motor from random dust particles, is located in front of the motor. Check this regularly too, but not as often as the dust container. To check the second cleaner, remove the bag and pull out the filter, which is located in front of the motor opening, by pulling up. Cleaning this equipment will slightly increase the power of the vacuum cleaner.

If you have an inexpensive vacuum cleaner, then it should have a flat filter made of pressed microfiber material or foam rubber; if it is damaged, find a similar material and cut out the same part using scissors. More expensive units may have Nera filters that are washable. If you have one, then take the filter and wash it under warm running water, then dry it and put it back. Don't forget to check the filter for holes. Even more expensive filters are carbon filters. They are the most practical and reliable. They also need to be washed, dried and replaced in the vacuum cleaner.

The last filter in the cleaning system is located after the motor at the air outlet of the vacuum cleaner - it catches carbon dust from the electric motor brushes. This final filter has the least effect on power, but still contributes to it when completely clogged with debris. There should be a cover at the outlet of the air stream from the vacuum cleaner - remove it and find and pull out the filter under it; they are usually made of sheet filter material marked FST 0001. If it is clogged and painted black from dust from the motor brushes, it is better to replace it. Look for the same material in spare parts stores or select a similar one, cut a new one to the size of the old filter, and then install it under the cover. It should be noted that these are the filters that are used not only in simple vacuum cleaners, but also in bagless vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaners with an aqua filter.

Taking advantage household appliances, are often faced with situations where their power drops, which reduces the performance of the devices and the comfort of their use. This is especially true for vacuum cleaners, when it becomes impossible to finish cleaning efficiently. What influences the drop in their power and how to restore it - more on that later.

A decrease in vacuum cleaner power can occur in different ways. If this is observed gradually over time, then the reasons may be incorrect or loose assembly of parts, or clogged filters.

Devices that are assembled incorrectly perform less efficiently than those that are assembled in full accordance with the technology. If the parts are not tightly arranged, additional air is drawn in outside the working units, which leads to a decrease in the productivity of the units and a drop in their power. The latter can be increased only by disassembling the vacuum cleaner and reassembling it correctly.

The first thing you need to pay attention to when there is a gradual drop in power is the condition of the vacuum cleaner filters. This is where most often lies the reason for the decrease in unit performance.

There are many different vacuum cleaners available today. They may have one filter, but there are models with four filters. You need to check everything and decide based on their condition whether to replace them or you can limit yourself to cleaning.

If the filter in the vacuum cleaner is in the form of a bag, then it is worth checking not only the level of its filling with debris and dust, but also the integrity of the fabric. If the unit has an aquafilter, then first pour water out of it, after which it is washed.

If the power drop in the vacuum cleaner occurs suddenly, then the most common cause of the situation is an object stuck in the hose. The problem can be easily solved: the unit is turned off; the tube is checked for clearance; if any blockage is detected, it is removed by pushing it with a long object.

A sharp loss of vacuum cleaner power can occur when you accidentally turn the power control lever, which is on the body and on the hose handle. The unit's functionality is restored after it is brought to the desired position.

If all the actions described above did not lead to the restoration of the previous power, then the reason is most likely problems with the electric motor or electronics of the vacuum cleaner. This can only be corrected by contacting a specialized workshop for help.

The household appliances market presents a wide range of different vacuum cleaners: industrial, household, portable, hand-held and others. They all differ in size, functionality, power level and, of course, cost. It’s good to have equipment for all occasions, but what to do if, for example, a renovation is planned that requires a construction vacuum cleaner? Its price is quite high, but whether it will be useful in the future is unknown. In such cases, you can make a powerful vacuum cleaner with your own hands, giving it all the necessary functions independently, using improvised means.

How to increase power without turning to professionals

There are frequent situations when the power of a working vacuum cleaner begins to decrease over time. There are several reasons that explain this behavior of the equipment - you can eliminate them yourself, without contacting service center employees.

Cause	Consequences	Solutions
Incorrect (including loose) assembly of device elements	If the vacuum cleaner does not have special fuses, improper assembly may cause reduced efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. Wrong installed parts promote air leakage and lower device performance	disassembly and subsequent high-quality and tight assembly of the vacuum cleaner
Dirty filters	clogged filters have poor throughput, which affects the power of the vacuum cleaner	cleaning reusable and replacing disposable filters
Clogged or ruptured garbage disposal	a clogged bag significantly reduces suction power, and holes in the material allow air to pass through	replacing a disposable garbage bag or high-quality cleaning of a reusable dust container (with rinsing and thorough drying). If you have an aquafilter, you should replace the water in it and rinse the container

What to do if there is a sudden change in power

It happens that a working vacuum cleaner suddenly loses suction power. This behavior of the device is most often explained by a clogged telescopic pipe or hose. To solve this problem, you should unplug the vacuum cleaner from the outlet and visually (using the light) check the condition of the pipe. You can also use a soft wire to push through the accumulated debris.

If this does not help, you need to pay attention to the brush.

There are cases when the user accidentally touches the power switch lever located on the device body, or opens the shutter on the tube (when the air flow comes out of it, the suction power also decreases).

Refinement of a construction vacuum cleaner

Many construction vacuum cleaners, despite their high power level and large waste containers, are often equipped with filters that are not large enough. This approach does not affect the quality of cleaning during a short period of work. However, in case of prolonged operation it shows a significant decrease in suction abilities. Therefore, many users independently make changes to the filtration system, modifying and improving it.

To replace the pleated filter of an industrial vacuum cleaner, you usually use car system cleaning. In order to choose it correctly, you must first measure the diameter of the cartridge into which the filter is inserted, as well as the height of the vacuum cleaner tank.

1. First of all, install a metal pin into the hole located at the top of the cartridge and fix it tightly. In this case, the diameter of the filter itself should be several centimeters larger than the diameter of the cartridge, for small gaps on the sides.
2. You should pay attention to the location of the mounting slots at the bottom of the cartridge - the filter should fit exactly behind them. Otherwise you will need to file them down.

The advantages of this method are undeniable:

• a significant increase in the suction power of the vacuum cleaner;
• prolongation of stable operation of the vacuum cleaner due to a larger filter surface;
• cost savings (on average, the cost of car filters is two to three times lower).

A simple modification to a cheap car vacuum cleaner

The car equipment market presents a wide selection of car vacuum cleaners. However, the cost of many of them is quite high, and cheap Chinese analogues cannot satisfy users with their power level. If you only have a low-quality car vacuum cleaner, you can upgrade it yourself, at home.

To do this, the first step is to figure out what exactly negatively affects the suction level of the device. After disassembling such a vacuum cleaner, you can easily notice that the main disadvantage is the large number of gaps between its elements, which allow air to pass through, thereby reducing the overall power. This indicator can also be affected by a deteriorated mesh that acts as a filter.

The main materials you will need are FUM tape about 1.5 cm wide for sealing, as well as a piece of non-woven fabric that can replace a leaky filter.

The modification process is extremely simple:

1. The filter is covered on top with a prepared piece of material (cut according to preliminary measurements), after which it is secured with a part installed on top.
2. All spare parts that have gaps during assembly are wrapped with a layer of fume tape. The car vacuum cleaner is put back together.

Modification of any vacuum cleaner with an electronic controller (dimmer)

Many vacuum cleaners are equipped with a power regulator on the body. This function is extremely convenient when working with different surfaces. However, not all models are equipped with a dimmer, but even those that have such a nice addition initially may lose it over time, since the boards often burn out. In this case, the regulator can be installed independently. To do this, you will need any user-friendly regulator whose power range can withstand the power of the vacuum cleaner. Often the connection diagram is immediately indicated on the packaging.

They all have a different structure, the simplest one is discussed below:

• the wire from the coil goes to the switch;
• in turn, from the switch it goes to the engine, but through an installed regulator (power adjustment is carried out through contact 1-2);
• Contact 3-4 is connected to the button installed on the body of the vacuum cleaner.

The board can be attached in any convenient way, for example, with double-sided tape.

During the active use of household appliances, situations may arise when their performance is no longer sufficient for comfortable use. This is especially noticeable with vacuum cleaners, where it becomes impossible to finish cleaning properly. In this case, you need to know how to increase . Let's look at several ways to do it yourself.

If the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner gradually decreases over time, you can fix it yourself. two reasons such behavior of his. These include:

1. Incorrect or loose assembly of device parts.
2. Clogged filters.

If the device is assembled incorrectly, and it does not have a function to protect against incorrect assembly, then the device may simply work with less efficiency.

If the unit parts are not installed tightly, the additional air drawn in will significantly impair the operation of the device. In these cases, an increase in power is possible after disassembling and subsequent correct high-quality assembly of the unit.

You should definitely check the filters of the vacuum cleaner; they are most often the reason for the decrease in its suction.

IN various models devices can be counted up to 4 filters, and you need to check the status of each of them. Depending on the type of filter, it may need to be replaced or simply dry or wet.

What to do if there is a sudden change in power

If during the cleaning process the suction efficiency of the unit drops sharply, then most likely the cause will be an object stuck in the tube. Solving this problem is very easy. You need to turn off the device and check the condition of the tube against the light. If you find a piece of paper, a small toy or other object, simply remove it and the device will work properly again.

However, a situation may also occur when, during cleaning, the power switch lever on the device body was accidentally touched. If this is indeed the case, then simply return the lever to its previous position.

In addition, there is also a lever on the tube that controls the suction of the device. Perhaps this lever was accidentally pressed, and a hole opened into which excess air began to be sucked in, which also reduced the efficiency of the device.

Having corrected all these points, you can continue cleaning as planned. If all these measures do not receive the proper response from the device, then you will have to turn to qualified specialists for help.
