Vacuums

A stick vacuum is cordless. Thanks to this, you can grab it quickly and easily move through the room. That's because you're not bothered by a cord. You can also convert a stick vacuum into a handheld vacuum. This way, you can also clean your dining room chairs, car, or bookshelves in addition to your floor. Stick vacuums do usually have a smaller dust collector. That's why you need to empty a stick vacuum more often than a canister vacuum. The battery life also decides how long you can vacuum.

A bagged vacuum collects vacuumed dust in a closed vacuum cleaner bag. When you throw the bag away, no dust is released. That's useful if you're bothered by allergies. That's because less dust goes back into the air, so you'll get less sneeze fits. You can connect a canister vacuum to the power grid. Because of this, your freedom of movement depends on the cord. When the vacuum cleaner bag is full, the suction power decreases. You can buy the vacuum cleaner bags separately from the vacuum.

A bagless vacuum is also a canister vacuum. Because the vacuum works without vacuum cleaner bags, you don't have to buy separate vacuum cleaner bags. The suction power doesn't decrease when the dust cup is full. There might be dust that's released into the air when you empty the dust cup above the trash can. If you're bothered by dust allergies, this is less comfortable.

When you choose a vacuum, mainly pay attention to what suits your household. Have a larger house with multiple rooms? Keep the battery life or cord length in mind. The suction brush and the suction power also determine if you can only clean hard floors well or also carpet. Have pets? Choose a vacuum with an anti-tangle suction brush or turbo brush. This way, hairs won't get stuck in the suction brush. If you're bothered by allergies, a bagged vacuum is a good choice. Don't want separate vacuum cleaner bags? Choose a bagless vacuum.

How well your vacuum vacuums dirt depends on the suction power. We classify the suction power into different classes, from basic to very good. Have high-pile carpet or a lot of dust in your house? Choose a vacuum from the class with a very good suction power. This way, you're sure that your vacuum vacuums every dust particle.

Every vacuum type works better on certain type of floors. When you buy a new vacuum, check which type of floor it works on. Which floor type the vacuum cleans best, mainly depends on the suction brush. For example, you can vacuum delicate floors safely with a soft parquet brush. Have a lot of carpet? Go for a vacuum with turbo brush. Most stick vacuums have a turbo brush by default. With a multi-surface brush, you can vacuum hard floors and carpet, because you can easily switch between the brush settings.
