Why do we scrub the heavy thing back and forth when it has fast revolving brushes? Surely a single slow pass is just as effective.

Same as using a hover lawn mower and moving from side to side when just forward does the same job.
I was wondering the exact same thing the other day brushing my teeth with the electric.
People like doing things even if pointless. Like flapping Polaroid photos while they develop.
I don't know I guess its habit. Many machines do not have fast revolving brushes. I often have thoughts about muck. where does it all come from? Not all of it can be shed skin, so one must assume its come from outside and maybe even outer space. Brian
ISTR some research, years ago, that showed that around seven passes were required to achieve the best cleaning.
To get good Polaroid you need a steady even temp that is why they invented the cold clip that you put them into and put them under your armpit.

You scrub it back and forwards over the same bit of carpet?
Ask your wife about how to Hoover.
Trade mark acknowledged. Other brands of vacuum cleaner are available :-)

Quite. Known as the Electrolux when I was growing up. The verb is a bit clumsy. Morphed into Hoover when I married and remains so despite us using a Meile and a Dyson.
Nothing sux like electrolux.
Miele. Miele. Miele. Miele.....
...Miele
That's the old "pull and peel" Polaroids. With the SX-70 type you had five minutes to wait and flap.
I don't think a large proportion of household dust is from outer space, but some micrometeorites do reach ground level, and are collected.
Here's a podcast about the subject:
