Finding The Best Vacuum Cleaner For Your Home

Is your current vacuum cleaner looking worse for wear? It may be time to pick up a new one. Before you buy the same model again, or just buy whatever's on sale, think carefully. There's a lot of different types of vacuum cleaner, and they can all do different things. Consider the following points, and decide on the type of cleaner that's best for your home.

The first thing you'll want to consider is whether you want a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner. Bagged cleaners used to be the standard, but bagless ones are becoming more and more popular.

The bagged model is great if you want to long without having to empty the bag. They will be able to take in more dust, meaning you can clean your whole house before having to take the bag out. Be aware though, that many models use paper vacuum cleaner bags that can't be reused, so you'll have to keep buying replacements.

Bagless models have become more popular because they eliminate the need for a bag. This can save money in the long run, so it's a good idea if you're looking to save on costs. They will need to be emptied more often, but you'll be able to tell exactly when as you'll be able to see how full they are. 

The next thing you need to consider is whether you need an upright or cylinder vacuum cleaner. Which is the best vacuum for you?

An upright model is best if you're looking to cover a large amount of space in your home. If you have large floors, they can cover them quickly and with relative ease. Be aware though, as they're bigger they can be harder to store. If you have plenty of storage space though, this won't be a problem.

Cylinder vacuums, on the other hand, can be a lot better if you have stairs or need to get into smaller spaces. These can find it harder to pick up pet hair though, so if you have cats or dogs around then this may not be the best model for you. 

One of the most recent innovations in vacuum cleaners is the cordless model. These sound like a great idea, but are they right for you?

 

A cordless model can cost more than a corded one, and so if you're looking to cut costs it may not be for you. However, they're often a lot lighter and easier to use than their corded counterparts. If you find it difficult to use regular vacuum cleaners, then a cordless model can make the job a whole lot easier. It's worth mentioning though, corded vacuum cleaners these days are becoming lighter and more maneuverable, so you should still look into them when you're shopping around.

If you're an allergy sufferer, then you know how miserable allergies can be. The last thing you want is dust, pollen, and other allergens sticking around in your home. That's where a specialist vacuum cleaner can come in useful. When you're shopping around, look for a cleaner that has a HEPA filter in it. These filters are designed to trap allergens and dust particles, stopping them from leaking back out of the vacuum cleaner. They can be a real lifesaver for anyone who suffers from allergies, and the vacuums can be very affordable. Make sure you're looking for these filters when you're shopping around. 

Finally, you'll need to look out for some extras depending on your home and needs. Firstly, if you many crevices that need to clean in your home, you'll want to look out for extra brushes and nozzles. These can make it so much easier to clean your home, and you'll wonder how you did without them.

Also, if you don't have a lot of sockets in your home, look for a vacuum with a long hose or cord. These can save you having to unplug and plug in your cleaner all the time.

There you have it! With this info, you can pick a vacuum cleaner that's perfect for your home.
