Things to Look for When Buying a New Vacuum

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

So it is time for you to buy a new vacuum because yours just doesn’t have as much power as it once used to. Which brand do you turn to? How much should you spend? It really depends on what you want out of your new vacuum cleaner. With so many brands, models and prices out there it is difficult to figure out which vacuum is right for you. Here are some things to look at when purchasing a vacuum.

 1. Reputation of Brand: You can  quickly do a handful of searches online and find out what others think of a certain brand of vacuum. If there are people who havehad any bad experiences with a certain type of brand you will know very quickly. It is a great way to also find people who have been satisfied.

2. Budget:  When you start shopping around for a vacuum you will quickly find that certain brands can get very expensive. By isolating three or four vacuum models you can then research specific models to find which ones have features you are looking for. This will help you find the right vacuum for your home or work.

3. Ergonomics: Aside from price and brand you want to make sure the vacuum feels right when you are using it. If you are buying this for your home and you know that you will be the one using it on a weekly basis it is important to find one that is comfortable to hold. the last thing you want is your back or shoulder to start aching because the it doesn’t fit your body structure correctly.

4. Maintenance: Find out exactly how much maintenance goes into a specific model. Vacuums comes with bags, without bags and a wide range of filters. Whether you want to deal with emptying bags and throwing them out or just emptying out a canister filled with the dirt and dust will be a deciding factor for you.

5. Will it Fit?: This might seem like a small deciding factor but if you live in a smallstudio apartment with one closet it might be important for you to get some compact you can easily hide away under a bed or even under or behind a couch. Getting something that doesn’t fit in a closet very easily might not be the best idea unless you want to showcase it in your living room.

My Vacuum Cleaner Doesn’t Work that Well Anymore

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

If you starting running into a situation where your vacuum just doesn’t have the strength that it used to there are a few things you can do to really check if it is the vacuum itself or just a component or part of the vacuum. Don’t be scared to pull out some tools and check it yourself, it could save a few hundred dollars buying a new vacuum. A few years back I had a vacuum that was only a few years old that could even pick up a grain of sand and after investigation I found a clogged hose, cleaned it out after that the vacuum was able to pick up golf balls.

Things to check:

1. Filter:  Often times it is just time to replace the filter in your vacuum. If you notice that when you run the vacuum it gets kind of stinky in your home or office chances are that filter has more dust and crud built up in it than a treasure chest. When you remove it make sure to have a trash near by because a great deal of debree will fall from it and try to do this out doors if at all possible because it will release some dust into the air. this dust could be very old.

2. Tubing: Tubing on vacuum cleaners is relatively narrow in diameter so it will be crucial to check as much tubing as your handiness will allow for. If you are at all handy or even know how to unscrew a phillips head screw try removing some of the tubing anywhere where there are tight bends because it is very possible over time you could have a build of dust, hair, thumb tacks whatever it is thats on the floor. If you have a pet there could be a great deal of hair stuck in the tubing.

3. Other: If the two options above yield no results than take into account the age of your vacuum and what you have put it through. if you have been vacuuming your workshop with it for the last 5 years than it might just be on the way out but if you recently bought and it hasn’t touched too much more than a nice plush carpet than dig up your owners warranty because you might just need a replacement vacuum.

Dyson DC14 All-floor

Dyson is one of the bestselling brand in the US and in the UK. To that effect, the DC14 is probably one of their products that are most in demand at the moment. The all-floor model boasts of a bagless system that never loses suction, a 5-year warranty, and a guarantee that will satisfy those who have allergic reactions to the smallest of dust particles. Its lifetime HEPA filter and bagless feature are two of the reasons why this model is popular; neither of the two features has to be replaced.

Electrolux Oxygen3 HEPA Canister

This is ideal for homes with wall to wall carpeting or those with bare floors. Canister vacuums are fast becoming a good replacement for the gigantic uprights and the Oxygen3 shows why in both form and function.

Sebo Air Belt K3

Known for its durability, the K3 from Sebo offers quality and durability. A tough looking home device, the K3 is missing features that were found in the Sebo C series. However, the K series are the lightest vacuums that offer powerful cleaning abilities couples with noise-free operation. Sold with specialized on-board tools and a first class filtering system, this is one canister vacuum that should not be underestimated.

Canister vacuums are fast replacing the upright version. This simply means that the canister vacuum is quickly becoming the best home vacuum cleaners because they are light, portable. The bonus feature is found in the different configurations that the hose takes to be able to get dirt in the tightest of spaces. So for the best in home vacuums that are offered with fair prices, it is definitely recommended to make the change to canister vacuums.
