You use your vacuum cleaner a lot though the year and over time, you’ll notice the suction isn’t as strong, the filtration isn’t working or it’s just become more of a pain than it’s worth. When this happens, it’s time to get a new one. With so many to choose from, it’s easy to get frustrated, but you do not want to rush buying a new vacuum cleaner.

Price

Before you even start looking for a vacuum cleaner, you need to decide on a budget. Do you want something simple and inexpensive or are you ready to go all out on that Dyson Cyclone you keep seeing commercials about? One thing to remember is just because something is expensive doesn’t make it the best and just because something is cheap doesn’t make it bad. Odds are if you’re looking for a bargain basement vacuum it’s not going to have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive brands and it may not have longevity. You’ll have to decide what’s most important to you and do research on the different brands available.

Canister or Upright

Vacuums come in two types: canister and upright. Upright vacuum cleaners tend to be lighter and have the motors attached to the main body. They also usually have rotating brushes that help get dirt from thick carpeted area. This is the most common type used today, but canister vacuums are making a comeback. With a canister vacuum, the motor and the storage unit is contained in one area and the head is attached to a long hose. The biggest benefit is these tend to be more powerful since the motor doesn’t have to me compact. The vacuum head is also easier to maneuver on stairs, etc. The biggest downside is it’s heavier and you have to bend over most of the time, which can lead to back pain.

Bagged or No Bag

Bagged vacuums can be a hassle. You have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t get too full. You have to take out the bag and replace it with a new one. You have to keep buying new bags. Ugh! Why would anyone want a bagged vacuum cleaner? It’s simply better. The whole point of a vacuum cleaner is to suck up dust and dirt, but when you empty a bagless vacuum, dust and dirt fly right out of it again. Bagged vacuums are cleaner and prevent dust and dirt from escaping. What’s nice about bagless vacuum cleaners is the convenience. Empty the bin and you’re done. Unless you are very careful, some of the dust and dirt will escape when dumping, but you’ll have to decide if it’s worth buying a bagged vacuum instead.
