How to Choose the Correct Vacuum Cleaner

There has never been a better time to choose a new vacuum cleaner for your home. Thanks to the latest technologies and the multitude of brands available, there are hundreds of options to choose from. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with the number of vacuum cleaners available, use this helpful guide for selecting the best vacuum cleaner for your home. Look at these categories, and discover the vacuum cleaner that suits your needs.

Type of Vacuum Cleaner

Before you choose the best brand and model, consider the following types of vacuum cleaners.

Cordless Vacuum

This category contains both full-length stick vacuum cleaners, as well as compact handheld vacuums. The cordless vacuum is one of the most popular types of vacuum, as it comes in lightweight and convenient models that are easy to move from room to room. Choose this type if you want a multipurpose vacuum cleaner to use in each room. Check out the Dyson V8 Absolute (pictured below) for a well-rounded and premium cordless vacuum that works on a variety of floor surfaces.


Pros:
●Easy to move between rooms
●Lightweight
●Often includes multiple attachments and accessories
Cons:
●Can be more expensive than corded vacuums
●Short battery life
●Not as portable as handheld vacuums

Handheld Vacuum

If you need to clean stairs, countertops or hard-to-reach areas around furniture, a handheld vacuum may be the best choice. Cordless handheld vacuum cleaners are also great for cleaning your car. If you’re on a budget, try the Eureka Easy Clean Hand Vac  (pictured below).
Pros:
●Lightweight
●Affordable
●Small attachments for tight spots
Cons:
●Not practical for cleaning your entire home
●Can be as expensive as a stick vacuum

Specialty Vacuum

There are also a number of premium, specialized vacuum cleaners available. Whether you need a steam cleaner, vacuum cleaner to clean up pet hair or high-tech robot vacuum cleaner these specialized vacuum cleaners offer specialized care for different areas of your home. Take a look at the Miele Scout RX-2 (seen below) for a premium robot vacuum cleaner.
Pros:
●Highly effective at particular tasks
●Often include the latest technology
Cons:
●Can be more expensive than other types of vacuum cleaner
●Not as versatile as a cordless vacuum cleaner

Bag or Bagless Vacuum?

Traditional vacuum cleaners use bags to contain all the dust, dirt and debris. A bagless vacuum cleaner may be more affordable than a modern, bagless style. However, bagless vacuum cleaners offer more convenient clean-up, and no extra costs for bags.

If you decide to choose a bagless vacuum cleaner, every major brand offers dozens of options for you to choose from. Take a look at the most popular brands on eVacuumStore.com.

Select a Brand

If you want to shop by brand, you can easily become overwhelmed with the sheer amount of competitive brands that offer excellent vacuum cleaners. Consider some of the premium brands on the market, like Miele, Dyson or Electrolux. These brands use innovative technology to provide high-end vacuum cleaners that lead the industry.

Other brands, like Shark, Bissell and Eureka, offer a range of models that fit any budget. Check out each brand, and see which one offers models that fit your price and lifestyle.

Price

Consider your budget, and how many new features you’d like. Premium vacuum cleaners can cost up to $1,000 or more, while budget models can cost as little as $50. At evacuumstore.com, you’ll find vacuum cleaners all across the price range, each with their own features and accessories.

Lifestyle

Think about your dream vacuum cleaner. What are some of the luxury features you want in a high-tech, up-to-date appliance? Here are some considerations to make before choosing the best vacuum for your home:

Flooring Style

You need a vacuum cleaner that offers premium floor care for your whole home. If you have hardwood floors, carpet and tile, choose a vacuum cleaner that can handle multiple flooring styles. Or, if your entire home is carpeted, choose a vacuum that is powerful, yet gentle, to keep your carpeting soft and clean. For instance, vacuums like the Miele Complete C2 Hard Floor Canister glide effortlessly across smooth surfaces, making them good choices for vacuuming hardwood floors. On the other hand, you might choose vacuums like Miele Complete C3 for Soft Carpet Canister Vacuum if you worry about your carpet and cleaning hard-to-reach spaces.

Pet Hair and Other Allergens

Don’t let your dogs and cats leave your home smelling stale or covered in hair. Choose a powerful vacuum specifically designed for pet owners, like the Bissell PowerGlide Pet Vacuum, and enjoy a clean and tidy home.
 
 
If you are sensitive to allergens, look for a powerful vacuum that is able to clear the air and rid your house of allergens and other bacteria. Many premium vacuums offer this ability, so look for leading brands like Miele or Dyson.

Green Vacuums

Environmentally friendly vacuum cleaners are not only good for the environment, but also help you save money on your energy bills. Choose the best green vacuum cleaners of all varieties, and save more for your home cleaning or professional cleaning company.
