pölynimurin

Pölynimurin is the Finnish word for vacuum cleaner. It is an electrical appliance used to clean floors and other surfaces by creating suction to remove dust and dirt. The word itself is a compound of "pöly" meaning dust and "imuri" meaning vacuum.

The basic principle of a vacuum cleaner involves a motor-driven fan that produces a partial vacuum, causing air to be drawn into the cleaner. This airflow carries small particles, such as dust, dirt, hair, and debris, into a collection bag or container. The air is then expelled from the machine, often through a filter to prevent fine dust from re-entering the room.

Pölynimurit come in various forms, including upright models, canister vacuums, handheld vacuums, and robotic vacuums. Each type has its own advantages and is suited for different cleaning tasks and environments. Different attachments and nozzles can be used with pölynimurit to clean various surfaces like carpets, hard floors, upholstery, and crevices. Their invention revolutionized household cleaning, making it more efficient and less labor-intensive.
