Choosing A Vacuum Cleaner To Fit Your Needs

The right vacuum cleaner for your home can make all the difference.  Here are five of the top rated vacuum cleaners for you to compare.  There are various types of vacuum cleaners to choose from.

Let’s face it; you could spend a fortune on a vacuum cleaner, but if it doesn’t have good suction – what’s the point! 

For the best value, shoppers claim the Eureka 4870 is the best. This upright vacuum cleaner claims to be better, especially on carpets, than its more expensive counterparts. With attachments and a sealed filter, this 21-pound unit is more difficult to push than others. Bag changes are needed, but for the price of $150.00, it’s reasonably priced.

Kenmore’s Progressive model, retailing for $280.00, is hyped as the best self-propelled upright vacuum. Due to the brush roll, which propels the vacuum across the floor, it is easier to push than other vacuum cleaners. Also weighing around 20 pounds, this upright has a bagless feature, and is great for stairs and upholstery.

The Hoover EmPower Bagless Upright Vacuum is a budget, bagless vacuum cleaner. Priced at $100.00, it gathers dust in a removable container that saves you from having to buy replacement dust bags. This well-known company has had outstanding vacuum cleaners for many years, and this one is no exception. With five settings, a fold down handle, and a pet hair cleaning tool, this durable cleaner, although not as quiet as other vacuums, still receives high marks.

Dyson's Animal vacuum cleaner has made a big stir in the market. This is a high-end product and costs approximately $500.00. For that amount of money, it should vacuum the house by itself!  In any case, the Dyson is a well-constructed, high-tech vacuum which now comes in four styles. Although the Animal is getting the best reviews, there seems to be a question as to its robustness. If you can afford this new type of vacuum, more power to you!

Finally, if you are in the mood to buy something whimsical, for $150.00 you can purchase the iRobot Roomba. While it does not have the power that a conventional vacuum cleaner has, critics have claimed it does do the job. Because it can fit into places most conventional vacuums cannot, most owners enjoy this fun item for quick vacuum cleaning. While paying $150.00 for a gadget that moves around your home on its own may be fun to watch, it may be a good idea to wait until the price comes down – way down, before you invest in this type of vacuum cleaner.  Stick with the pros! They will never let you down!
