4 Tips for Buying a Vacuum Cleaner

You're in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, eh?  There are a few things you need to consider before rushing out and hearing a saleman's hype. Here are a few things to consider to get the brain cells pumping.

Usage: Vacuum cleaners have the ability to clean several types of areas in your home, such as carpets, hardwood floors, stairways, furniture and window treatments. Some vacuums also contain special filtering systems that can take care of allergens, like dust mites, pet dander, and pollen or common household odors.

However because no one vacuum can do all things, check the specs of any vacuum completely to determine if it's the right vacuum for your house. A good site for in-depth, concise vacuum reviews is located at dysonvacuumreviewdude.com

Weight: Although the modern day vacuum cleaner can perform several cleaning tasks, some models tend to be a great deal heavier when compared to others. Heavy vacuum cleaners tend to be a lot more laborious to maneuver and result in more tiredness from usage. Even self-propelled or cordless vacuum cleaner models can become heavy, particularly if you have to carry heavy vacuum cleaners up and down flights of stairs. Select the lightest vacuum cleaner possible to undertake your house cleaning jobs.

Bag or bagless: Vacuum cleaners with bags are easy to maintain because you can just throw away the dirt and debris with each bag. Replacement bags, however, can be expensive and occasionally discontinued depending on the vacuum model or manufacturer. A bagless vacuum cleaner is generally less costly to maintain, but emptying the canister of its dirt and debris can be messy and even spread some dust and dirt back into the air. Some bagless models require filters that can be more expensive to replace than bags so I suggest you look for a model that has permanent washable filters

Upright or canister: Upright and canister are two of the most popular vacuum cleaners, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Many upright vacuums have an adjustment to raise or lower the cleaner head depending on the type of flooring being cleaned or based on the thickness of the carpet.

Upright vacuums are also easier to take in and out of a closet or other storage areas for quick clean ups. Canister vacuums are suggested in homes with a majority of hard floor surfaces or low pile carpeting. They normally have automatic adjustments depending on floor surface. Canisters are generally lighter than uprights, and their long attachment hose and extension wands make it easier to clean stairways, tall ceilings and other hard to reach areas. Due to their smaller, more compact size, canister vacuums can be stored in many places an upright vacuum can't.
