Choosing Which Type of Vacuum Cleaner

When you plan to fully clean the house, car, camper, or job site, you need to take a look at a range of various vacuums}. You'll find a number on the market to choose from. Each one has a wide range of special features, functions or tools.

Ideally, what you do is set your price range within your budget and make note of what you will need that vacuum to do. After that, begin the process of looking around and doing research to narrow the choices and get to your short list. Remember you are on the path to finding your perfect vacuum cleaner. Right?

Out of all the different kinds of vacuums available in the marketplace, you ought to be able to find what you need to do your work reliably and well and with minimum effort.

Forget the color of the vacuum! You need to pay attention to size, type and price.
Essentially you have to choose between wet or dry vacuum cleaners. However some companies have managed to combine them. I suggest choosing one or the orther. Most vacuum cleaners are made of either aluminum or heavy duty plastic.

The types of vacuums you can consider include bagless models, cordless, handheld, upright or canister and more. Some people like the novel idea of getting a robotic vacuum to do your whole house while you do something else!

Here is a really nifty tidbit. Some vacuum cleaners are actually designed to get debris, detritus, dirt (or lost mittens) out from underneath your car seat! Other vacuum cleaners are designed specifically for hardwood floors, less chance of scratching them.

Check out all their special features. Does it have extension tools and are they detachable? Does the power cord retract? Can you FIND and REACH the power switch? Does it use a HEPA filter?
You are not likely to believe this but some models will suck up nails and some will even pick up a glass of water! When I read that I wondered if it sucked up just the water or the glass AND the water!

So who makes vacuum cleaners? Companies like:

  • Hoover
  • Bissell
  • Eureka
  • Oreck
  • Dyson
  • Kirby
  • Bosch.

Remember to consider refurbished vacuums if your budget is tight. And watch for discounts, sales and rebates.

One reason to shop around is the wide price range for vacuum cleaners. You can find one for anywhere from $30 to $500 or sometimes more. Though they are different makes and models the cost is an important factor.

With a little effort and searching on your part you ought to find a durable vacuum cleaner that will keep your place clean for years to come.

By the way, my mother just read this article and laughed at my last sentence. She said it will only keep your place clean if you plug it in and USE it! LoL
