When it comes to choosing the best vacuum cleaner for
your cleaning duties you have lots of choices, too many infact.
I will guide you through the various types of vacuums, what
they are, and what they are designed to clean.
First off you should have a general idea of what you need,
is your home all hardwood floors and tiles? Do you have
problems with allergies because of dust? Upright, canister,
handheld, stick vacuum what do
you choose?
Upright vacuum
cleaners are the basic of all vacuum cleaning
systems. Upright vacs are perfect for general floor cleaning,
carpets, tiles and hardwood flooring. These types of vacuums
are the most powerful of all types of vacuum cleaning systems.
Canister
vacuums are designed for smaller areas, and small
cleaning duties. Some of the areas that a canister vac would
come in handy include carpeted stairways and drapery. These
types of vacs are handy, they are much smaller than uprights
and they also have less power.
If you need to clean the interior of your car, then a handheld
vacuum is for you. These types of vacuum cleaners are
usually battery powered (cordless). The main reason for you
to buy this type of vacuum is strictly for smaller duties,
as well as small hard to clean areas, such as between furniture
and other crevices.
Stick vacuums, are another alternative to the upright, but
they offer less power, perfect for smaller areas. Prices
for sticks vacs are much cheaper than upright so if you don't
need a heavy duty machines, the a stick vacuum might be worth
reviewing.
- filtration system - the best filtration
systems to have is a hepa filter system. HEPA
vacuums are designed for
people who suffer from allergies, caused from dust mites
and other particles stuck in your carpets.
- bagless - want to save the hassle of
buying and replacing vacuum bags, then a bagless vacuum
might be a good choice. When the container becomes full
just empty it out, pretty simple system.
- onboard headlight - if you're home is
dark or you want to clean in the pitch black, then a headlight
is great, you can light up all the dirt and debris in your
path and suck it up.
- robotic vacuum - if you are really busy,
then you should check out robotic
vacuum cleaners that can actually clean
the floors while you watch, Roomba makes them.
- looking for a vacuum with the right type of attachments
is important. Crevice tools are a must but for instance
drapery tools are only good if you have drapes, many people
only have blinds.
- weight - some vacuums can get pretty
heavy, so if you plan on doing a lot of vacuuming then
try to find the lightest vacuum within your requirements.
Some of the top names in the industry include Dyson, Hoover,
Eureka, Roomba and Euro Pro Shark. If you want to find some
cheap deals, then I suggest buying or at least comparing
online prices to those in retail stores.
