The machine gets its name from the fact that the fan in the unit moves air and creates a low pressure pathway (a vacuum, though a partial one) that is open at the nozzle (or hose, when using accessories). Air rushes in at the opening of the pathway, and that moving air picks up debris. The air and dirt is then carried to a filter or bag, and the air get out to be returned to the room. Debris is left in the dirt tank or in the bag for disposal.
