The Vacuum Cleaner That Fits You

By: Andrew9 Washington9

Ever since vacuum cleaners were invented in the 19th century, using an air pump to create a partial vacuum to suck up dust and dirt, there has been an abundance of brands out there. Trying to choose one which will fit your needs, especially if you don’t know much about the product is as difficult as trying to manually clean your house the old fashioned way, with brooms and dustpans. Let us attempt to make sense of your vacuum cleaner shopping. First of all, get the best kind based on your kind of flooring or carpeting. If you have a large floor space, get models with floor attachments that use brushes and/or uprights with metal bottom plates. The height should be able to be adjusted low enough for the flooring. Make sure that the metal plates and wheels will not scratch your floors. Otherwise, you’d end up with a very clean, but damaged floor. If your house has more carpet than flooring, choose a vacuum that has enough suction power, especially if the carpet has deep pile styles. Unfortunately, this can consume a lot of energy, so if your house doesn’t have lots of carpet areas, stick with the one that will cause the least energy consumption, keeping your house clean and helping save the environment at the same time. If you have long hair or the people in your house keep shedding body hairs all over the place, choose one that has a stainless steel brush roller with ball bearings. Of course it will make the unit heavier, but that beats having to sweep your house every 2 hours because it looks like a beauty salon, with hair lying all around .If your goal is to keep the dust out of the air, which is actually one of the primary goals of a vacuum cleaner, get a bag rather than a bagless one. The bag model has a paper or fabric bag that allows air to pass through but traps all dust and debris in the bag. The bagless models, all the dust and debris goes to a container and a reusable filter. You need to test the air-tightness of the vacuum first before buying, especially if you’re suffering from asthma. One way is to vacuum for a bit with a floor model and then see how much dust has collected on the outside of the unit. Another important thing that is not related to its features or functionality, but is essential to your peace of mind is how easy it would be to assemble or disassemble. Make sure that they're easy to assemble, that they stay together and are airtight during use, and that you can still disassemble them with a minimum of effort. If you live in a small apartment or space, it would be better to buy a small hand held vacuum, rather than a big full one. It’s more energy efficient and you don’t need to lug a big vacuum cleaner around for every small spill or mess around your limited space. Make an inventory of all the parts that will require replacement, how often the replacement should occur and how much it will cost you annually. It will cost you, but at least you don’t have to buy a new one every year or so.
