easily pick up dirt and debris from hard floors.

Before we can understand a cyclonic vacuum, it’s helpful to think about.how a standard vacuum cleaner works.

Vacuum cleaners generate suction by creating a difference in air pressure.As air rushes to equalise the difference in pressure, it creates suction that the cleaner uses to pick up dirt..The key to a vacuum cleaner’s ongoing cleaning performance is.
