More Information
Summary:A vacuum apparatus having a housing, a vacuum generating system, and a hose. The housing has a small height and a general circular disk shape. A side perimeter of the housing has a hose receiving area that extends around a majority of the housing. The hose is located in the hose receiving area to both house the hose and use the hose as a bumper for the apparatus. The apparatus is configured to provide a maximum vacuuming pressure of only about 10 to 12 inches of water such that animals can be groomed without harming the animals. The vacuum generating system has a variable speed motor such that the motor speed can be adjusted by a user dependent upon the size or type of animal being groomed. The vacuum apparatus also has a noise reduction system including a muffler, an impeller with long fan blades, and multiple air flow path redirections of air traveling through the housing.
