CORDLESS, CANISTER AND UP-RIGHT VACUUMS

What are the advantages of a cordless vacuum cleaner?

Cordless vacuum cleaners offer the convenience of portability and ease of use. Without the restriction of a power cord, you can move freely from room to room and clean hard-to-reach areas without searching for an outlet. They are typically lighter than corded models, making them easier to handle, especially when cleaning stairs or upholstery. Many cordless vacuums also come with a variety of attachments and can be easily converted into a handheld vacuum for quick cleanups and versatility.

Canister vs. Upright Vacuums: Which is better for my home?

The choice between a canister and an upright vacuum often comes down to personal preference and the specific cleaning needs of your home. Canister vacuums are generally more lightweight and maneuverable, making them ideal for cleaning stairs, under furniture, and hard-to-reach places. They also tend to be quieter and have better suction on hard floors. Upright vacuums, on the other hand, are typically better for larger, carpeted areas as they usually have stronger brush rolls that can lift more dirt from carpets. They are also easier to store as they stand upright on their own.

What features should I look for in a vacuum if I have pets?

If you have pets, look for vacuums specifically designed for pet hair removal. Key features to consider include a motorized brush roll or turbo brush attachment to effectively pick up hair from carpets and upholstery. A vacuum with strong suction power is also important to ensure that pet hair and dander are fully removed. Additionally, a HEPA filter is beneficial as it can trap allergens and fine particles, improving the air quality in your home. Some vacuums also come with odor-absorbing filters to help neutralize pet smells.
