Does a vacuum cleaner pick up as much dirt while you pull it backwards?

Question

??

i know that my push lawnmower doesn't. you always have to push it forward to make it cut the lawn nicely. is it like the same thing with vacuum cleaners?

Answer 1

Yes.

Direction of movement has no effect on the suction.

Answer 2

Vacuum cleaners clean just as well when you pull them backwards as opposed to push them forward. What matters is the roller brushes and the amount of suction power you have

Answer 3

the suction stays the same, and are you sure there isn't anything wrong with your mower?  Mine mows just fine, forward or backward since the blades are still spinning and doing the cutting.  Perhaps you are lifting it slightly when you pull backwards so the blades aren't touching the lawn surface as well as when you go forward?

Answer 4

From what I understand, a vacum cleaner can produce just as much, if not better suction when being pulled backwards. Dysons are the best and most reliable for this in ,my experience.
