A vacuum cleaner is one of the home appliances we need for a cleaner environment in our homes. Whether it is hair from the family pet or grit and mud from outside a good vacuum cleaner saves time, gives us a cleaner environment and rejuvenates the fibres of the carpet in our home.
The most important choice you have to start with is if you want an upright or cylinder cleaner? Cylinder vacuum cleaners are lighter and more compact, making them the better for cleaning stairs, upholstery and difficult to reach areas. They tend to be on the other hand not as good at picking up hairs, their hoses can be difficult to store easily and can be clumsy and difficult to manoeuvre. Upright vacuum cleaners are good at picking up hairs (pet), easier to store and cover large areas quicker, however they can be noisy, more difficult on stairs and hard to reach areas and tend to be heavier.
All vacuum cleaners originally came with bags which collected and stored the dust till they were full but in the last 15 years since Dyson revolutionary bag less vacuum cleaner which have become very popular. Bagged vacuum cleaners are a hygienic and allergy friendly way of cleaning as the collecting bag collects the dust being vacuumed, however the bags are an extra expense, sometimes replacement bags are difficult to find, it is therefore prudent to always have spare bags. The bag less alternative removes the need to change the bags and consequently save you money but emptying them can be very messy when the dust spills out. Research shows that there is only a marginal difference in suction between the two.
In making your decision consider storage, where you will be using the vacuum cleaner, the weight and reach of the vacuum cleaner, the type of floor, what anti allergy filters are fitted on the machine, the wattage (a high wattage does not mean better suction but you might use more electricity) and the noise levels of the vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum cleaners also come as cordless, handheld or robotic.
We shall tackle these soon.
