How to Choose the Right Vacuum Cleaner to Buy
There are many things to consider before purchasing a new vacuum cleaner. Today’s vacuums feature multiple functions, styles and the latest and greatest technology for cleaning your home and carpet. First and foremost, you have to decide which type of vacuum cleaner is best for you:
Upright or Canister
Deciding the type of vacuum cleaner is the most important choice, but the decision doesn’t stop there. You now need to consider obvious things such as cost, brand, quality and other features important when making almost any purchase. But, there are also some things you will want to be aware related specifically to vacuum cleaners.
Storage
The size of the vacuum cleaner not only impacts the ease of use or how much it will weigh when carrying it around, but will also be relevant in terms of storage. Depending on the size of your home or the closet and storage space available, you might want to invest in smaller vacuum cleaner or a unit with the ability to fold or collapse in order to be stowed away out of site. Canisters are typically the more versatile of the two main vacuum cleaner types.
Noise
Pets aren’t afraid of vacuum cleaners because of how they look, they’re scared of them because of how loud they are. If you want to avoid a loud vacuum cleaner you will want to investigate the units decibel level when being operated. Most vacuums are around 70-75 decibels and are much quieter than the vacuums available in the 20th century. Nowadays, some of the quietest vacuum cleaners on the market operate between 60-65 decibels, which is extremely quiet.
Capacity
Capacity is one of the areas where upright vacuum cleaners outshine canisters. Full-sized upright vacuums typically feature much larger dust bags or internal storage for your dirt and debris. The larger the bag or internal capacity, the less often you will have to stop vacuuming to empty out the contents of the bag. Using a vacuum with a full dust bag is a very inefficient way to clean your home and can often lead to some of the contaminants and dust filtering out of the unit and right back into your home.
Filtration
Filtration should not be overlooked. If a vacuum cleaner doesn’t include a high-powered, efficient filtration system, odds are a lot of the dust you suck up will sift right out of the unit and back into the air in your home. If you or family members suffer from allergies, you will want to explore a vacuum with a HEPA filter to limit the exposure to allergens.
Vacuum cleaners are one of the most important cleaning tools for homes with carpet. Dirty carpets contain a lot of contaminants you want removed from your home and only an efficient vacuum cleaner can accomplish that on a daily basis.
For contaminants and dirt embedded in your carpet fiber, you will want to have carpets deep cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner in Kenosha. Deep cleaning your carpet increases the lifespan and helps maintain the softness and beauty of your carpet.
