measure dirt removal, only the amount of
electricity used. Cleaning Effectiveness
Per Amp is determined by dividing this
model’s Cleaning Effectiveness* by its
Amps.
*
Cleaning Effectiveness
is the percent
value obtained from dividing:
(a) the geometric mean of the amount of
embedded carpet dirt removed in testing
under ASTM Test Method F608-89, by
(b) the value 29 (the geometric mean of
the midpoints of the % dirt pickup
scales selected by Hoover as a reference
for its rating system).
