Lindhaus USA introduces Ultimate Floor Tool

Lindhaus USA has announced the open release of a new rug/floor tool to all independent vacuum dealers. This Ultimate Floor Tool will improve the performance of any vacuum cleaner from the built-in to the small portable canister.

The Ultimate Floor Tool created by Lindhaus is the result of three years of painstaking research and development, utilizing the most advanced computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) software.

The wheeled floor tool has long been renowned by Lindhaus dealers across the country for its amazing agility and one pass pick up. Now with its universal 1 ¼” neck and new name -- the Ultimate Floor Tool -- this dynamic attachment can be utilized by all independent vacuum cleaner dealers.

It has been nicknamed the “Bernoulli Tool” after Daniel Bernoulli (the famed mathematician) for its ability to enhance lift and velocity, utilizing elements of physics similar to Bernoulli’s principals of fluid dynamics. Strategic placement and form of its dual apertures enhance the lift factor created by suction and the velocity of the airflow at the point of contact on the rug/floor.

Al Carpenter, president of Lindhaus USA, prefers to use the “just try it” attitude.

“Just try it and you won’t care about the physics; it just plain works!” said Carpenter.

It makes any vacuum clean deeper and faster.

In addition to the cutting edge design, the Ultimate Floor Tool is loaded with additional features. The dual swivel neck and four specially coated non-marking rubber wheels assure precision cleaning in and around hard-to-navigate furnishings. The center place tandem squeegee and brush allow for one pass pick up in both directions.

Carpenter stated, “There has been an invasion of look alike portable canisters which has eroded profit margins in that sector. The Ultimate Floor Tool is the perfect attachment to set your preferred product line above the fray. Quality tools define the product. Adding the Ultimate Floor Tool is an excellent complement to any product. Many dealers have reported adding at least $50 to the bottom line of their entire canister offerings by packaging them with this distinctive attachment.”

This is something your customers can’t get in the big box stores and once those customers see this in action they won’t settle for an opening with some brushes around it.

It has also proven itself quite effective in assisting with the dilemma of carpets which do not allow the use of revolving brushes in the vacuuming process.

“While we do not agree with carpet manufacturers who recommend against using a brush roll on certain carpets, we feel that dealers must in most cases go along with those recommendations particularly where they may void warranty,” Carpenter said. “In those extreme cases the Ultimate Floor Tool is going to be the best brushless cleaning head available.”
