Why do vacuum cleaners have lights on the front, do they expect you to vacuum at night?

Answer 1

It makes it easier to see things that you maybe are not supposed to suck up, for example pins or thread that can hurt your vacuum.

Answer 2

So oncoming vacuums can see them coming easier. Seriously, it's probably so when you're vacuuming under or behind something where it is darker than the rest of the room, you'll be able to see and also if you come up on something small that you might not normally see without the light, you may be able to avoid vacuuming it up.

Answer 3

I actually asked a sales man this question once and his answer seemed resonable. He said that light is for areas of your room that have low lightshadows and such. For example, behind a couch or under tables. I never vacuum those areas so I had no idea. It is helpful once I put it to the test. The light needs to be a little brighter on my Kenmore. My Dyson (newer one) does not have a light....I dont think.

Answer 4

No, but they do expect you to vacuum in dark areas of a room, such as corners, under furniture, etc.

Answer 5

for the reason above and some places you vacuum you might not ber able to see well, as in corners around furniture, or under coffee tables and such

Answer 6

so that you can see in front of you to avoid sucking up anything like nails or pins or needles or anything that would mess up your sweeper , with the light you see it and can pick it up before the sweeper sucks it up

Answer 7

Mine doesn't have a light, so I have a daytime model.

Answer 8

They are chasing the cat around.

Answer 9

it's just another fancy little feature to make you say "omg i neeeed this vaccum cleaner..."
