Vacuum cleaner accessory

Once again, we must distinguish between the accessories themselves, which are "options" allowing you to adapt your vacuum cleaner to a particular mission or surface, and consumables or spare parts which must be changed regularly and which are also considered "wear parts" and are not covered by manufacturer's warranties.

The benefits of changing your vacuum cleaner accessories

Accessories for professional vacuum cleaners, regardless of the brand Numatic, Nilfisk, Taski, etc., bring significant added value to the efficiency and durability of your cleaning equipment. Whether you are in the industrial, commercial, or domestic cleaning sector , choosing the right accessories can bring productivity and efficiency to your cleaning service. Choosing the right vacuum cleaner brush with the right diameter and for the right surface, the compatible vacuum cleaner tube, the filter, the dust bag , etc. are all accessories or spare parts that will allow you to extend the life of your equipment. Voussert offers a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories, whether original or compatible, to address most issues.

Vacuum cleaner brushes and nozzles

A brush is defined by the diameter of the tube with which it can be adapted . Most vacuum cleaners have a diameter of 32 mm as standard . This is the diameter that we will find at Numatic on vacuum cleaners like the Nupro , the Henry , the Hetty... or at Taski the range of silent vacuum cleaners Aero or Vento. In the range of brushes or nozzles for vacuum cleaners, it will of course be necessary to distinguish several types depending on the nature of the vacuum cleaner. If your vacuum cleaner is a wet and dry vacuum cleaner , the nozzle will be a nozzle equipped with slats dedicated mainly to the suction of water. In the case of a dust vacuum cleaner, it will be a nozzle with brushes and often offered with a pedal allowing you to switch from brush mode to smooth mode to adapt to carpets or hard floors.

Vacuum cleaner bags and filters

We are talking about essential accessories not only for the proper functioning of your vacuum cleaner in terms of suction power, filtration quality but also reliability and lifespan of your vacuum cleaner. Not changing a filter or a bag is taking the risk of motor overheating and simply damaging the motor of your vacuum cleaner.
The type of dust bag you choose is directly related to your vacuum cleaner model. Some bags are compatible with multiple models because, ultimately, some "manufacturers" aren't actually manufacturers, but simply require a specific color, shape, etc., which makes the bags common to the "basic" model that you'll find under different brands.
For filters, you also need to pay attention to the filtration standard that your equipment meets. If it is a Hepa H13 vacuum cleaner , a classic professional dust vacuum cleaner , or a class H asbestos vacuum cleaner ... the associated filter will not be the same and must be compatible.

Hoses and electrical cables for vacuum cleaners

On these accessories, we are dealing with accessories or wear parts . This means that these elements, like a brush or a nozzle , are not covered by manufacturer's warranties except for a very short period of around one month in the event of a proven "non-conformity" or "manufacturing defect".
As a result, if damaged or even pierced, vacuum cleaner hoses can lose vacuum and affect the proper functioning of the vacuum cleaner.
Note that you can opt for longer hoses up to several meters on certain industrial vacuum cleaners but it should be noted that the longer the hose, the more there will be a loss of suction power.
The electrical cable is often the cause of a "breakdown". In fact, many customers contact us stating that the vacuum cleaner no longer starts. Often the electrical cable is the cause in two ways. We have all seen maintenance workers "walk" their vacuum cleaner or move it by pulling on the electrical cable... the direct consequence is that the cable can disconnect "invisibly" inside the motor terminal block. The other case is the "jamming" in two doors of the cable which has the effect of cutting it without the sheath being visibly cut...
The electrical cable can be connected directly to the motor terminal block or, like Numatic, with NuPlug type cables to connect directly to the vacuum cleaner.

Why pay special attention to vacuum cleaner accessories?

Improve your productivity and ergonomics: Using the right accessories can help you optimize your cleaning process based on the surface being treated. For example, a special carpet brush or a nozzle for hard-to-reach corners can make a big difference in cleaning quality. If you need to reach hard-to-reach areas or vacuum hard or carpeted floors, the standard brush that comes with your vacuum cleaner may not be suitable.
Extending the life of the equipment: Accessories considered as wearing parts related to the normal operation of a vacuum cleaner, such as filters and bags, are essential to maintain the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner and guarantee the longevity of the motor. Regular inspection and replacement of worn parts can extend the life of the device.
Safety and Hygiene: Well-maintained accessories contribute to a safer and more hygienic work environment. HEPA filters, for example, reduce the circulation of allergens and fine particles in the air.

Frequently asked questions about vacuum cleaner accessories

Do I absolutely have to use bags from the same brand as my vacuum cleaner?

The vacuum cleaner bag is a consumable. Professional vacuum cleaner brands rarely manufacture tubes, brushes, bags, or filters. Therefore, factories specializing in these accessories manufacture them for the brands.
You can therefore buy original brand bags or filters , but you will also find "compatible" ones, often less expensive, that fulfill exactly the same function. You just need to ensure perfect compatibility with your vacuum cleaner.

Can I change a vacuum cleaner motor?

Yes, motors are available, especially for major brands like Numatic, Nilfisk, Taski, Karcher, etc., as spare parts. The problem is that the price of the motor is often close to the price of the new unit. Most motors are actually manufactured in Asia.

When to change the vacuum bag?

The bag must be changed before it is completely full . Therefore, open your vacuum cleaner regularly, for example at the end of the week, to see how full it is. Don't hesitate to change a bag too early rather than too late because it is then your motor and therefore your vacuum cleaner that will need to be changed. In addition, a bag that is already half full already means a loss of suction that you will feel as the days go by.
