A Comprehensive Vacuum Cleaner Buying Guide: What Is A Good Vacuum Cleaner?
What makes a good vacuum cleaner?
That’s the question that anyone who had ever gone out to buy a brand new vacuum cleaner must have asked themselves before. While there’s no doubt that a vacuum cleaner is a wonderful cleaning tool that has made all of our lives much easier, what actually makes a vacuum cleaner good is a problem that still haunts a lot of buyers.
In this article, we will be answering this question once and for all with a short buying guide on how you can pick the best vacuum on the market.

Type
Consider the type, first. There are a lot of vacuum cleaner types out there for you to pick from: Upright vacuums, canister vacuums, stick vacuums, handheld vacuums, and robot vacuums are the most popular types. Each type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the layout of your house (whether you have stairs or whether there are a lot of electrical outlets that you can plug your vacuum into, etc.) and your cleaning needs (pet hair, upholstery, etc.), you can buy a specific type that fits you and your home’s residents.
Bagged or Bagless?
A bagged vacuum will funnel all of the dirt, dust, and grime that the vacuum collects into a bag. For a bagless vacuum, you will have a separate dust cup that you can clean out, instead. Although bagless vacuums will not require you to buy new bags, they will usually be equipped with a HEPA filter that you also need to swap out once in a while (although certainly not daily.) The process of emptying the dust cup of a bagless vacuum is also quite messy, so if your house has allergy sufferers, it may not be the wisest choice.
Pet Hair
Pet hair is one of the most stubborn particles that a vacuum will have to deal with. They tend to get stuck in the brush roll and can cause a vacuum to cease to function completely if not removed. This is the reason why pet owners usually have to take the extra step to find vacuums that have the tools or the capability necessary to deal with pet hair.
Check For Additional Features
Vacuum cleaners nowadays all have different features that can either improve the ease of use (LCD screens displaying all of the vital information like the current cleaning mode that the vacuum is tuned to or the battery state, for example) or improve the cleaning efficiency (like the Lift-Away capability of the Shark Navigator Lift.) To have the Best vacuum cleaner for home and for the money, make sure that the vacuum you’re thinking of getting also has a respectable range of features in comparison to its rivals.
Accessories
Accessories are extremely important for vacuum cleaners. Typically, the manufacturer will send you a number of tools in the box that you can attach to the nozzle for cleaning different surfaces or to pick up different types of particles. A brush roll, crevice tool, cleaning wand, etc. are popular accessories that virtually all vacuum cleaners nowadays are shipped with. Just keep in mind while you’re making your purchase decision that the more accessories there are, the more cleaning jobs the vacuum cleaner will be able to handle.
Conclusion
Though this buying guide is short, the above points are the most important things you should know before you go out and pick Good vacuum cleaner brands for your home.
