Just Who Makes the Best
Vacuum Cleaner Anyway?
Here's some essential features to consider
before anyone can answer that question.
Do you find yourself confused when you shop for vacuum cleaners?
I know. Who doesn't?
To help with that here is a simple way to find out who makes the best vacuum cleaner for you. You know which would best suit your purposes?
First there are six or seven questions to ask yourself initially. They are …
• Your budget or how much you can invest.Once you are basically clear about what you need then you have do decide on the features you want. Here's some help with some things to think about.
• What type of flooring - be it hardwood or carpeting?
• Any special health concerns like dust allergies or asthma to take into consideration?
• Do you have back problems you're dealing with?
• Do you need extra cleaning power for things like pet dander or pet hair?
Canister or Upright?
Canister type vacuums are ideal for homes with steps as they are light enough to be carried up stairs. They are also thorough in their cleaning action and many comes with a suction control switch to decrease or increase the suction as necessary. Plus if you like the idea of your vacuum cleaner trailing behind you then this is the model for you.
Upright models on the other hand are easy to store and maneuver around. Plus they are good for rooms with carpets and rooms with furniture and the like to vacuum around.
For Allergy Sufferers
If you or a family member suffers from dust allergies and so forth it is best to go for cleaners with HEPA filters. These clean the air as well as do a decent job of extracting dust and mites that can cause allergy problems. In this case it may also be wise to choose bagless vacuum cleaners as dust bags can be messy to empty.
Vacuuming Carpeting?
If you have carpets it's best to go with vacuums that offer
• Adjustable pile level to set the cleaner level according to carpet's heightA Word About Suction Power
• A bare floor setting to pick up dirt, dust when changed to hardwood floors
• Revolving brushes to pick up dirt deep in carpets
• On off rotating brush to switch from carpet to floor and vice versa.
• Turbo or power head to remove pet hair.
If you want more suction power consider vacs designed with two fan motors. Obviously with any comparisons two motors will extract more dirt than a single one will. But keep in mind that the suction tubes, filters, design of the nozzle, quality of the hoses also play an important role when determining the power of a given cleaner.
Also where the fan is positioned counts too. Ideally you want to vacuum up the dirt in the bag first and not the blower.
Back Pain?
If you have back problems and want to avoid straining your back then self propelled units are a good choice. Another option? Go for vacuums with a telescopic wand. This allows the vacuum to be adjusted to your height and tends to reduce the amount of bending required.
Obviously no brief review like this can specify who makes the best vacuum cleaner for you. Also there is likely no one perfect vacuum that will meet all your requirements.
Still you would be wise to get a sense of what you want down before setting off shopping for the vac that's best for you. Because that gives you something to shoot for and a way to eliminate some options right away. Leaving you with more time to narrow down your best choice from the better choices. Helping you to fairly quickly get to the one that will work best for you.
