7 Features You Want Your Vacuum Cleaner To Have
When shopping for a vacuum cleaner there are certain features you would want your vacuum cleaner to have. These days vacuums come with many advantages and features (although not all of them may be necessary) so it is best to look at your particular situation and determine which features best serve you and your home. If you have young children and/or pets, the features of your ideal vacuum cleaner might be different from someone who does not. However, there are also features that are good for all vacuum cleaners to have. Here are a few of the most important ones:
-
- Suction Power and Capacity
Does your vacuum cleaner have a lot of suction power? How much dirt can it hold before the bag or filter needs to be replaced? If your home is prone to being messy all the time (and this can happen with pets or kids) then you would want to think about this when looking for a vacuum.
-
- Energy Efficiency
This is a pretty good feature to have, especially nowadays when energy and environmental conservation have become increasingly important. Vacuums do not have to be the electricity guzzling machines that they used to be, so look for one that has a good rating.
-
- Low Noise Levels
Vacuums are traditionally known to be quite noisy, but now there are many that are designed to be quiet. If you live in an environment that is particularly sensitive to noise, then you would want to look for a quiet model.
-
- A Long Chord
The longer the chord is, the longer the reach of the cleaner. These days you can get cordless vacuum cleaners but they come with less power and are more expensive. If you have a long cord that should serve you better (just make sure nobody trips over it).
-
- Bags or Transparent Containers
Both versions have distinct pros and cons, so which one you go with depends on your personal preference. Bags are more efficient at collecting dust and are disposable. If you don’t like dealing with dust then it is better to go with the ones that are disposable. If, however, you don’t mind getting a little dirty then you can go with the vacuums that have transparent containers.
-
- Good Design
If you can’t bend your back very much then you should go with an upright vacuum cleaner. These are more popular and they are friendlier to people with back problems.
-
- Accessories
A good vacuum cleaner should have multiple accessories for cleaning various surfaces and areas. A floor brush, power brush or upholstery brush can make your vacuum much more flexible and efficient when it comes to cleaning your home (or vehicle), especially if you have pets who are allowed on the furniture.
