How to Buy a Vacuum Cleaner

There are just 3 Easy Steps to Pick the Vacuum for your Home

1. Determine what type of cleaning you do most:
• Upright Vacuums: excellent for deep-cleaning carpets and are a good choice as they are easy to store and easy to maneuver
• Canister Vacuums: suited for cleaning bare floors and upholstery and are easier to handle on stairs
• Central Vacuums: are a convenient option as there is no vacuum body to drag along; Central Vacuums require professional installation if your house isn't already equipped for this type of vacuum system
• Hand and Stick Vacuums: perfect for smaller cleaning jobs and smaller areas that need to be addressed more frequently; clean up messes quickly, are much easier to store

2. Choose bagged or bagless model:
• Bagged Vacuum: holds more dirt and emptying them results in less dust released into the air; this is ideal if you are an allergy
• Bagless Vacuum: helps to save money by eliminating the need to buy bags; some also have washable filters

3. Determine additional features to suit your cleaning needs:
• Bare Floor Option: helps protect uncarpeted floor surfaces
• Dirt Sensor: informs you when the vacuum is no longer picking up dirt and also when the bag needs to be emptied or changed
• HEPA Filters: can benefit those with asthma and reduce emissions by providing a higher level of filtration compared to standard models
