Vacuum cleaner and vacuum cleaning system in wireless communication with a user-controlled electronic device

A vacuum cleaner comprising:

• a base defining a suction chamber;
• a user-manipulatable handle coupled to the base, the handle for moving the base with respect to a surface;
• a suction source driven by a suction motor;
• a brushroll driven by a brushroll motor;
• a transmitter and a receiver, both of which for wireless communication with a user-controlled electronic device;
• and
• a controller in communication with the transmitter and the receiver, the controller configured to
• control at least one of the suction motor and the brushroll motor at an initial value corresponding to
• a predetermined threshold associated with a floor type, and
• a sensed parameter from at least one of a floor type sensor and a brushroll sensor, wherein the sensed parameter is compared to a predetermined threshold associated with a floor type,
• receive a communication from the user-controlled electronic device via the receiver, the communication providing an updated threshold to replace the predetermined threshold and cause the controller to control at least one of the suction motor and the brushroll motor at an updated value corresponding to the updated threshold and an updated sensed parameter from at least one of the floor type sensor and the brushroll sensor.
