Le balai mécanique, qui a précédé l'aspirateur, s'appelle encore couramment au Québec balai-rouleaux ou balayeuse. Ce dernier terme désigne parfois également l'aspirateur. Il est à proscrire dans ce dernier cas, comme non adéquat, puisque le dépoussiérage se fait alors plus par aspiration que par balayage. 2, record 2, French, - aspirateur
