Which Type of Vacuum Cleaner is Right for You?
For decades now, vacuum cleaners have been our allies in keeping our homes and establishments squeaky clean and spot free. Nowadays, many people just can’t imagine living life without a trusty vacuum cleaner, or two. However with the now many types of vacuum cleaners, just which one do you think would be perfect for your needs? Read on and find out.
The traditional and still the most popular type is the upright vacuum. These babies cost less than their tight competition, the canisters. This type of vacuums is very good with deep cleaning carpets and is also easy to store. However for the most part, upright vacuums are noisier than their other counterparts and they also tend to be heavier.
Next are the canister vacuums. The best canisters, as they call it, clean carpets just as well as uprights. Also note for pet owners, canister vacuums are brilliant in picking up dog and cat fur. So if you’re a pet lover, canisters are perfect for you. Canisters are quieter than uprights and they are much easier to use on drapes, upholstery, under furniture, and on stairs. The downside of canisters is that the whole machine tends to be heavier and bulkier so storage is less convenient as compared to upright vacuums.
Also, there are also small or compact vacuums. These are usually handheld ones. They are of course easier to carry around especially when you’re on the go and they are easier to store however they have less power than their bigger counterparts. Lastly are also stick vacuums that provide smaller capacity but are also easier to carry around as they weigh less.
