Lindhaus: A Trusted Name in Commercial Cleaning Machines

The Lindhaus brand was founded during the 1980s in Italy by a company specialising in the design and manufacture of domestic and commercial cleaning machines.

The Lindhaus range is particularly popular within the commercial sector, with products such as powerful twin motor upright vacuums; convenient battery operated vacuum sweepers, hard floor scrubber dryers and the hybrid wide area vacuum.

Lindhaus is well known as one of the best brands when it comes to performance and efficiency, and is renowned for delivering exceptional quality at competitive prices. Selected as the supplier of choice for numerous government buildings, there is even a rumour that there’s a Lindhaus in the Whitehouse!

The sister company of Lindhaus, Rotafil, has been manufacturing electric motors and winding machines as far back as the 1960s. Naturally, all Lindhaus cleaning machines are powered by Rotafil motors, making them incredibly robust and effective.

The Lindhaus range of upright vacuum cleaners offers a variety of power level options. The twin motor machines are quiet in operation yet incredibly powerful with one motor independently driving the brush roller at 5,000 rpm and the second focusing solely on sucking up debris into the 4 litre paper bag. All offer an extendible on board hose and extension wand as standard together with a detachable head which makes the machine easy to clear in case of blockage. There’s also a replaceable brush roll barrel and optional HEPA or carbon active filters.

The Lindhaus scrubber dryer is also a twin motor machine, perfect for smaller areas and ideal for dealing with spillages and cleaning requirements in areas where floors simply cannot be left anything other than safely dry. The machine cleans right up to the edge and can also be used for window cleaning and as a wet pick-up vacuum. It’s also easy to store.

The Lindhaus hybrid wide area vacuum is a lightweight, easy to use cleaner that can be used either on battery power or via a cable. Perfect for all types of carpet, the machine’s wide body frame rotation makes it ideal for easy access under tables. There’s a 16 litre debris capacity; an on board charger and a full set of on board tools.

With Lindhaus, there really is something to suit every commercial need. For more information and tailored advice, and to arrange your free commercial demonstration of your chosen Lindhaus machine, get in touch with Anderson Trade.

Vacuum Cleaners and Energy Efficiency

Vacuum cleaners and energy efficiency has been the subject of much discussion of late and, whilst we are still within the EU, it is something we are going to have to live with, for the time being at least.

The EU Eco-design Directive and the Energy Labelling Framework Directive govern the energy efficiency and energy labelling of all vacuum cleaners made in or shipped into the UK. The directives apply only to new upright and cylinder vacuums and do not cover wet and dry vacuums, robot vacuums or rechargeable vacuums.

Under the requirements of the Eco-design directive, all vacuums must be less than 1600 watts in power, must consume no more than 62 kWh of energy per year and must carry a dust removal efficiency grading.

The energy labelling requirement means that all vacuums will be rated from A to G based on their energy efficiency and cleaning performance on hard floors and carpets, and on their dust emissions. This is a similar system to that used for washing machines and fridge freezers.

The Energy Efficiency Label

An A-rated vacuum cleaner is the most energy efficient machine, whereas machines with a G-rating will be the least efficient. The annual energy consumption of the vacuum cleaner is also shown on the label. The lower the number, the more energy efficiency the cleaner offers. Remember that the figure should not be above 62 kWh per year.

There are separate grades for dust pick-up that apply to carpet and hard flooring. An A-rating for this element will mean the cleaner is highly effective. If you see anything below a C-rating, it really should be a no-go.

Dust re-emission concerns the amount of dust put back into the atmosphere via the vacuum’s exhaust following cleaning. This is a very important consideration where allergies are concerned, so if you are looking to ensure your working environment is as allergen-free as possible, you will need to go for an A-grade in this respect. The exhaust air will depend upon the quality and type of filter fitted to the vacuum cleaner, and how well the cleaner is sealed will also have an effect. Don’t go for anything below a C-grade but do try to seek out A and B ratings.

The noise level of the vacuum cleaner is also graded on the energy efficiency label. The lower the decibels, the quieter the cleaner. In a commercial setting, this is particularly important where cleaning takes place during working hours.

Energy Efficient Vacuum Cleaners: Buyer’s Guide

If you are looking to remain compliant when choosing a commercial vacuum cleaner, the Numatic range will serve you well. Henry for example is A-rated for energy efficiency. Its dust pick-up for carpets and hard floors is grade C, as is its dust re-emission grade.

Hetty carries the same grading as Henry as does James, whose annual
energy consumption is way below the amount allowable under the directive

Hetty carries the same grading as Henry as does James, whose annual energy consumption is way below the amount allowable under the directive at just 25.2 kWh per year.

Lindhaus upright machines for professional use are all rated Class A for energy efficiency. They are also very low noise level.

Sebo also remodelled its designs to take in lower energy consumption in line with the EU directive and its range now combines energy efficiency with ergonomic and user-friendly design, exceptional performance and low noise levels.
