Category Shopping | Thursday, September 9th, 2010

Consumers are offered a wide variety of choices in styles and features of new vacuum cleaners. Most brands and models are solidly build and will last several years without maintenance problems. The choice in models comes down to your specific needs and tastes.

Major attributes to consider include:

1. Type – Make sure you consider what types of surfaces you’ll be cleaning. Your choice of the type of vacuum cleaner will depend on it.
2. Comfort – Make sure you test drive the vacuum to see how well it handles, and how heavy it is. Is the handle comfortable?
3. Filtration - If you suffer from allergies, consider a unit with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particular Air) filter.
4. Attachments – Make sure it has the attachments you need, but don’t pay for those you don’t. For example you don’t need the drapery cleaner if you don’t have curtains.
5. Noise – Some people place a great deal of importance on noise considerations. To respond to this, some models have insulated materials around the motors.
