Windsor Versamatic Vacuum Cleaner
The vacuum cleaner was
first conceived of in the early part of the 1900s by the Hoover
Vacuum Cleaner Company. Since then the vacuum cleaner has evolved into the
ultimate carpet cleaning machine. The three main types of vacuum
cleaners are upright vacuums, backpack vacuums and wet dry vacuum
cleaners. Upright vacuums the most common type of vacuum sold
in the United States.
This vacuum works on the principle of a beater brush that rotates
and agitates the carpet fiber, and a vacuum system that sucks
debris from the beater bar chamber. The backpack vacuum cleaner is
the newest type of commercial vacuum. It works on just suction
alone utilizing a large vacuum motor that creates massive air
movement which sucks debris through a tube which is attached to a
floor tool. A wet dry vacuum uses a large motor and a canister to
suck up debris that is both wet and dry. It does this by using a
canister with a large motor mounted on top. If the water level
reaches a certain point within the canister a float ball mechanism
shuts off the motor so that moisture is not sucked into the motor
damaging the electrical system. The most prevalent of all the
vacuums sold in the United States is the upright. This vacuum is
used by both commercial and residential users and ranges in price
from $50 into the thousands. There are two main types of upright
vacuum cleaners, the single motor upright and the dual motor
upright. Most residential motors fall under the category of single
motor upright which uses one motor to drive both the brush and
vacuum system. A dual motor upright utilizes a separate motor for
the vacuum and brush system making it a stronger and more powerful
unit. The number one selling dual motor upright vacuum cleaner is
the Windsor Versamatic. This vacuum is known for its dependability
and deep cleaning power.
The Windsor vacuum is
constructed from a ABS plastics which is rugged and stand up to
years of heavy punishment. The Windsor Versamatic vacuum cleaner
is made up of three major components. These include the lower base
assembly, the upper debris assembly and the handle assembly. The
lower base assembly houses the brush motor, beater bar and
circuitry which controls the entire vacuum cleaner. The unit comes
in two sizes featuring either a 14 or 18 inch or beater bar. When
choosing this model it is important to pick the correct size for
the environment you are going to clean. For larger areas the 18
inch vacuum is recommended to improve efficiency and cut down on
expensive labor costs. The 14 inch model is suitable for
maneuvering around offices and obstacles. On the lower base
assembly a 150 Watt brush motor drives the beater system via a
rubber belt. This makes the agitation assembly extremely powerful
and cuts down on the wear of the electrical motor. Above the
beater bar is a suction tube which attaches the upper handle
assembly to the lower base. Debris is sucked through this tube
into the upper debris collector which houses a filter bag that
filters smaller dust particles out of the air. The dust bag
collection system utilizes a paper bag that can filter particles
of .6 microns or larger. The debris bag is a large capacity bag
and can hold up to 5.3 L of debris before disposing of the bag.
The handle attaches to the upper base assembly securely with two
large bolts making this an extremely durable vacuum. The handle
assembly also acts as a tool holder which houses a large crevice
tool that can be used in conjunction with a hose for cleaning
baseboards and hard to reach areas. The on off switch is located
on the front panel of the upper housing assembly. The switch can
be easily turned on or off without bending over causing less
fatigue for the user. The Versamatics
vacuum motors have
ample power for any tough job.
Overall the Windsor Versamatic is the ideal vacuum cleaner for any
commercial cleaning company. This vacuum cleaner has a track
record of lasting up to 10 years and can easily be rebuilt by a
certified Windsor vacuum cleaner technician. Windsor parts can be
found and are readily available at any
Windsor dealer or any

Windsor Parts are relatively inexpensive for this unit and are

other comparable floor equipment manufacturers such as National
Super Service, Tornado, Nobles,
Proteam, and Hoover. |
