If the vacuum cleaner is powered by electricity this is used to turn the electric motor which is needed to create the suction or vacuum. That motor either has permanent magnets inside it, or the current passes through many "turns" of wire to create magnets when you switch the cleaner on. Early experiment in electricity showed that if a wire is moved in a magnetic field some current is created. Similarly, if a magnet is moved near to a wire the same result occurs.
So, yes the cleaner does need a magnet.

Does a vacuum cleaner need a magnet to work?
Some kind of magnet or magnetic field is necessary for a motor to operate. Alternating current vacuum cleaners (that plug into the wall) have motors with electromagnets. Direct current vacuum cleaners (that plug into the car's cigarette lighter socket) have motors with permanent magnets.
How does a vacuum cleaner simulate a tornado How is it like a real tornado?
A Vacuum Cleaner is similar to a tornado because a vacuum cleaner sucks things up as does a tornado. Some people might say a tornado is God's vacuum cleaner.
When did Daniel Hess invent the vacuum cleaner?
Daniel Hess invented the vacuum cleaner on July 10, 1860. He was indeed the first to create the vacuum cleaner.
Who invented the Dyson vacuum cleaner?
James Dyson Invented the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner
How is air pressure used in a vacuum cleaner?
air presure pushes dirt into the vacuum cleaner.
What is the similarities of vacuum cleaner and floor polisher?
Vacuum Cleaner and Floor Polisher are both built with motor or machine that needs the power of electricity to work and function.
How can you tell when your vacuum cleaner should be replaced?
You can tell that your vacuum cleaner needs to be replaced when it quits working properly. Signs of that include the belt quits turning or the vacuum quits picking up dirt.
Does a vacuum cleaner motor affect television screens?
No At least, not unless it happens to have a very large magnet in it for some reason.

What is a vacuum not a vacuum cleaner?
That depends on the distance to the vacuum cleaner. The closer, the louder.
What did HC Booth invent?
Vacuum cleaner
Where is a magnet found in a vacuum cleaner?
In the motor used to turn the fan that creates the suction, though you might find magnets as closures too.
If you clean a vacuum cleaner, aren't you the vacuum cleaner?
Yes, we are vacuum cleaners of the vacuum cleaners, which are the floor cleaners
Can a vacuum cleaner work in a vacuum?
a vacuum cleaner uses air to create suction. in a vacuum there is no air. Therefore, the aswer is NO.
How do you repair a vacuum cleaner belt?
Vacuum cleaner belts are not repaired, but are replaced.
