I know that 'commercial' refers to business applications, so I'm not looking for general information but details). Are the terms used in accordance with industry standards, or are they unique to each company? One company, Aerus LLC (formerly Electrolux Corporation), mentioned that the only differences between its commercial and household vacuum cleaners is that the former have less warranty protection, have longer cords, and do not feature above the floor attachments or headlights. Nothing was said about construction materials being different.
There may be no industry standard for those terms, the sales department of a company may have some say in how things get named, I would guess Heavy Duty may not be as touch as equipment actually meant for Commercial use. A household vacuum cleaner meant for Light Duty for example, might burn out of run continuously for an extended time.
a commercial product may have some components that are made to last longer than a standard household product of the same type i.e. a vacuum................each manufacturer may have different definitions of comm'l vs std
Ask more relevant questions like what is the duty cycle and what is the mean time between failure. Motors heat up. A motor designed for intermittent use will overheat and burn out if used continuously. An industrial grade motor can be run 25/7.
They both do the same job. Just different names for the same equipment.
they are bogus determines that have no specific meaning other than they will charge you more for what they claim is a better manufactured piece of equipment
