VacuumsVacuums are tools or devices that are used to suck up and remove dust, dirt, debris, or other small particles from surfaces or from the air. Vacuums are commonly used in household cleaning applications, but they are also used in industrial, commercial, and other settings where the removal of particles is needed. Vacuums are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and configurations, and they can be powered by electricity, batteries, or other means. The most common type of vacuum is the upright vacuum, which is a portable, standing device that is pushed or pulled across surfaces to clean them. Other types of vacuums include handheld vacuums, backpack vacuums, and wet/dry vacuums, among others.
