Your Guide To Finding The Perfect Vacuum Cleaner
A good vacuum cleaner should last a long time, do its job properly, and be a safe and sensible addition to the family home. But you shouldn’t just pick a random one off the shelf – you should look at the design of your house and the frequency of your cleaning and choose one accordingly.
Here are a few considerations you need to keep in mind when deciding which vacuum will be best for your home’s needs:
Do you vacuum every day?
If you do, you’re going to want an impressive, long-lasting and powerful vacuum model. Cordless vacs are very big right now as they spell an end to tangled wires, but not all of them provide enough power for a whole-house every-day vacuum without needing to be charged. When buying one, make sure it has more going for it than just 20-30 minutes of power.
Do you have a big house with lots of carpets?
Lucky you! But you’re going to need to put a lot of work into keeping them clean. An upright vacuum cleaner may be best for this job – they’re easy to push around over the parts of the floor that get most dirty.
For people who are looking to make a long-lasting investment, you can even buy a vacuum with a built-in dirt sensor to help you find bits of the carpet you’ve missed.
Do you have pets?
Pet hair is the bane of many pet owner’s existence – it can cause allergic reactions if you’re not careful, and more importantly, it can make a house look messy. Unfortunately, not all vacuum cleaners are capable of removing pet hair to the fullest extent. To really deal with pet hair, you need a vacuum that is HEPA certified – this means it can remove 99.97% of particles from the air.
Do you have a lot of stairs?
If you live in a three-storey house, you’re definitely not going to want to lug a huge vacuum cleaner up and down them every day. You want something small, lightweight, and most importantly cordless, as wires draped over the stairs are an accident waiting to happen. You’ll also want to look for something with a long hose attachment, ideally, to help you manoeuvre around for more effective cleaning.
Do you have young children?
Young children tend to loathe the sound of the vacuum cleaner. Some adults do too, which makes the quiet or silent vacuum a worthy purchase. Companies like Dyson and Bosch release a lot of products like this. Aim for something that has a sound level of under 70db for the quietest cleaning experience possible.
