Vacuum cleaner – part of our livelihood

It’s hard to imagine a house without a vacuum cleaner. It’s one of the essential daily utilities. Quality vacuum cleaners will serve you well and keep your home neat and tidy.

There are several categories of vacuum cleaners available in the market.
These are based on the dust containers, that can be reusable or a single use bags, plastic containers, also known as canister vacuum cleaners and deep cleaners with water filtering system.

Vacuum cleaners can be corded, cordless (battery powered) and the robotic vacuum.

These by far are not the only differences to pay attention to when buying a vacuum cleaner. We are now going to review additional criteria for selecting a vacuum for your home.

How to choose a vacuum cleaner?

It is important to pick a vacuum cleaner based on your needs. This may be a significant investment too, therefore you will want to choose the product that will get the job done. You should consider the following when choosing a vacuum cleaner:

Accessories

You have to consider many possible features and parameters of each device. Amongst others, it is dimensions, weight, shape and accessories. Attachments such as those for carpets, delicate furniture, small gaps, etc. should definitely not be ignored. The more attachments you have, the more cleaning area you will be able to cover. However, if you certain the vacuum will perform one and the only function at home, you can skip researching the accessories.

Noise level

Some vacuum cleaners are louder than others. You should carefully check the indicated noise level if you think this can bother you or those around. In most average sized vacuum cleaners, the noise level will stay around 80db(similar of dishwasher or blender). However, should this become an issue – look for the device with lower noise level reading.

Power

Make sure you are choosing a vacuum that is powerful enough. The last thing you want is buying a device that is no capable of cleaning the dust to your desired level. Look for measurements indicated by letter ‘w’. Small vacuum cleaners are typically 250w while high-end vacuums can be as powerful as 3000w. If you are not sure which one you should buy exactly, we recommend choosing the one that is rather in the middle – not too powerful, not too weak.

Size

It is important to consider the size of vacuum. Some vacuums may be too large for operation and storage. Nonetheless, in case of larger vacuums you also get more power. However if you are limited in space, try choosing smaller, yet powerful enough vacuum cleaner.

Filter

Filters are used for collection of dust and dirt. It is one of the essential features in vacuum cleaner as it helps clearing the air in the area it is operating. Filters must be replaced regularly, unless it is a canister vacuums where dust is transferred to a separate container. Some filters may be more difficult to replace than others and small filters typically have to be changed more frequently.

Wire length

If you are looking for corded vacuum, make sure it reaches the far corners of your home. The last thing you want is finding out you have “black zones” that cannot be cleaned because the cord is simply too short.

What are the types of vacuum cleaners?

There are plenty of different options of vacuum cleaners in the market. Let’s take a closer look into categories that prove to be the most popular:

Robotic vacuum

For those who do not enjoy their daily duties too much, this might just be the right choice. With a use of multiple integrated sensors it can navigate through your home without hitting the furniture or falling down the stairs. These vacuums are not only small in size and cordless, but they can reach areas that traditional vacuums cannot.

Robotic vacuums are battery powered, however it returns to charging base on its own when battery level is low. This type of vacuums require minimal maintenance. You only have to empty the container periodically or when it gets full. Regardless of size and power level, these types of vacuums are capable of cleaning even challenging stains. It is a great choice for those who do not have enough time to do the vacuuming themselves.

This kind of vacuums are typically very powerful and suitable for cleaning carpets of various type. They also effective on different floor material. In most upright vacuums the length can be adjusted, they also work well on hardwood floor. It is not uncommon finding these vacuums with variety of accessories as well as features.

Traditional vacuum cleaners

Sweeper or stick vacuum

Sweeper or also commonly referred to as stick vacuum is typically battery powered, therefore it may not be as powerful as those corded solutions. This type of vacuum cleaners may be used for minor stains, such as the crumbs and dust in the kitchen or bathrooms. Sweepers are gaining popularity due to their portability and the little space they use. Most of the sweepers come with dust container and not bags, therefore they regularly have to be emptied.
