Vacuum Cleaners

2. Essential Features to Consider

• Suction Power: High-performance suction for deep, thorough cleaning.

• Bagged vs Bagless: Bagged models trap dust more effectively; bagless are convenient and cost-effective.

• Filtration System: HEPA filters recommended for allergy sufferers, trapping fine dust and allergens.

• Battery Life (Cordless): Look for models with sufficient runtime (30–60 mins+) for your cleaning tasks.

• Attachments & Accessories: Crevice tools, upholstery brushes, motorised pet hair tools, and more.

• Noise Level: Choose quieter models (below 75dB) for comfortable operation, especially in smaller homes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Choosing insufficient battery life on cordless vacuums—match runtime to home size.

• ❌ Not considering weight and manoeuvrability—choose lighter models if mobility is a concern.

• ❌ Overlooking attachments—ensure your vacuum includes tools suitable for your surfaces and needs.

• ❌ Skipping proper filtration—opt for HEPA filters if you have allergies or pets.

• ❌ Not regularly maintaining your vacuum—poor care reduces performance and lifespan.

Vacuum Cleaner Care & Maintenance Tips

• ✅ Regularly empty bins or replace bags to maintain optimal suction.

• ✅ Clean or replace filters according to manufacturer recommendations.

• ✅ Regularly inspect hoses, nozzles, and brushes for blockages or tangles.

• ✅ Charge cordless vacuum batteries fully and avoid overcharging to prolong battery life.

• ✅ Store vacuums securely and upright in a dry, cool location when not in use.
