Pölyimuri

Pölyimuri is the Finnish word for vacuum cleaner. A vacuum cleaner is an electrical appliance that creates a partial vacuum to suck up dirt and dust from surfaces such as floors, upholstery, and draperies. The dirt collects in a bag or bin inside the machine, which must be emptied periodically. Vacuum cleaners are a common household appliance used for cleaning.

The first vacuum cleaner was invented by Hubert Cecil Booth in 1901. His design was a large, horse-drawn machine that sucked up dirt through long hoses. Early models were cumbersome and expensive, but over time, vacuum cleaners became smaller, more affordable, and more efficient.

Modern vacuum cleaners come in various forms, including upright, canister, stick, and handheld models. Each type has its own advantages and is suited for different cleaning tasks and environments. They can be powered by electricity, and some newer models are cordless, using rechargeable batteries.

In addition to domestic use, vacuum cleaners are also employed in commercial and industrial settings for more demanding cleaning needs. Industrial vacuums are typically more powerful and designed to handle larger debris or specific types of waste. The basic principle of creating suction to remove particulate matter remains the same across all types of pölyimuri.
