I need to vacuum hand chalk in a indoor climbing gym. How will it perfom on the shock absorbing matts with lots of chalk?

As a contractor we vacuum up lot's of dust, including drywall. It does perform well but, only has a six quart bag and the suction will diminish with fine dust. We typically shake out the bag and get back to it. We had an Oreck @ with a 10 quart bag, same thing only difference was the + $ 300.00 price tag. I have no complaints with GV it's an awesome vac for the price.

It has very strong suction, but the nozzle is slim. Also, when you empty the dustbuster you have to remove the filter. Not sure if spiders will be dead. I love this hand vacuum but depending on how many spiders you are dealing with and how often, I would problably look for a small shop vac. Sear's used to carry a Craftsman small hand held one.

I would say no. I have mine installed very high on the wall in our garage, and so I don't hold on to the gripper at all to insert or remove my brooms/mops because I couldn't reach it anyways.

I just use chalk you can buy at Target or Walmart. Cleans off with no problem. About once a week I clean it with a damp cloth.

The vac has two speeds, low and high. The low speed makes it easier to use on shaggy or thick carpet. The small rugs like a floor mat or welcome mat would still kind of get sucked up even on low. I use it on them still and just hold the mat down with one foot and it is fine. But to directly answer your question, it will most likely still suck up a small mat or rug...

Yep, works great with chalk! Even comes with a piece of white chalk. This has turned out to be one of the best things I've ever purchased for my kids! I love it!

I would imagine that they would pick up the dirt. I always did a light sweeping before I used it and it worked really well. If it seems like the padis getting really nasty, just take it off and rinse it out and put it back on to finish up. It works great ffor floors.

My family room has a berber carpet (that's getting pretty filthy) and the lightness of this model concerns me re: cleaning that type of rug. To get my handvac to suck up the dirty water I really lean on it to increase its ability to suction. I suspect that as far as berber carpet goes, its best to get a heavier (industrial) machine, as I don't think you can push down on an upright to get it to suction better. I'll check this at the Hoover retail store near me and post a reply later.

it is terrific on carpeting. I had just used my old vacuum and then I used the Eureka on my carpets. it pulled out so much dirt, the dark red carpet looked brighter! To vacuum on carpet, put the head way ahead of you and then pull it towards you slowly.

I bought this for my grandson, he loves it. The dust from dry erase markers seems harmless to me. Chalk has many more aerosol particles and my kids(now all business owners) never had breathing issues with that.

There isn't very much "shedding" of material - I mostly just clean it up in the course of regular vacuuming - but if you're particularly fastidious, you may find yourself doing more. I've had cat scratchers that have lost much more of their surface much more regularly.

I am a Crossfitter and that's exactly what I use them for. No need to chalk up 10 times and my girlfriend appreciates a guy without callouses and blood all over his hands. I have been purchasing 2 pair/year for the last 3 years, I hope they don't ever stop making these. And the full finger just makes all of the difference in grip to me. Just my humble opinion here. Good luck!

This unit is strictly muscle power and finesse. I used this to sand drywall inside my home without getting EVERYTHING covered with that fine dust. To further protect my home furnishings, I got the large bags for my ShopVac from Walmart. So, IF any dust escaped the water-wash in the Magna Sand & Clean the big ShopVac bag collects it. Dave

I do vacuum b swiftly and it will do a great job.efore use of the haan. It's safe if the hardwood floor is not kept wet, use it

I have several area rugs and the vacuum cleans them well and does not "over-suck" them and get caught in the rollers. If you are talking bath mats style lightweight mats - I haven't the experience.

The included tools aren't efficient at picking up kid mess like cheerios- they either push items or are too small for bigger area. You'll want to get the hard floor tool or wide open one so you can push/ pull while tilting it a bit. The vac itself is plenty powerful and a joy but items larger than cheerios will get stuck entering the collector.

I believe so. For these markers your going to need to do multiple layers to get a real saturated affect and once it's done chances are you're only going to be able to remove 90% of the chalk. It seems even soap and water doesn't get it all off. �
