How To Choose The Most Appropriate Vacuum Cleaner

As history indicates, the first model vacuum cleaner wasn’t even a vacuum cleaner by any means. It was more like a carpet sweeper. An inventor named Daniel Hess created it. In 1860 Hess patented a piece of equipment that consisted of rotating brushes on the bottom and bellows which helped to generate suction. However the truth is there is no evidence this very machine ever got made

A lot of 40 years later, in 1908, James Spangler received a patent for the first portable electric vacuum cleaner. Spangle lived in Canton, Ohio. An interesting historical aside is the man who the famous company was named for was Spangler’s cousin by marriage, William Hoover. Hoover vacuum cleaners are still produced today.

Over the past 150 plus years, vacuum cleaners have had a lot of improvements. From doing your weekly vacuuming of your home, doing a spring cleaning,or simply leaving the vacuuming up to the robot,there is a vacuum out there suited to your needs. With upright, canister, HEPA filtered, bagged and bagless, there is always a vacuum cleaner on the market to suit your needs.

There are actually 2 ways in which a vacuum cleaner cleans. The first, we rate a vacuum on ‘How does it pick up dirt and debris?’ off a carpet as well as the floor. When you are searching for a vacuum, keep in mind the power of the suction motor, since this is very essential for getting good performance.This is something you will want to watch for during your search. The second concern is how well the vacuum will filter the air that it restores to your home.Often the second concern is overlooked. How well does a vacuum cleaner filter the air before it goes back out into your house?

The most appropriate vacuum for allergy sufferers is a HEPA vacuum cleaner. A good quality HEPA vacuum can be expected to filter about 99% of the allergens in your home, like pollen and dust, etc.

Do you want an upright vacuum? Or do you prefer a canister style model? This is really a personal preference. They both have good points.

Canister vacuums have a retractable electric cord, which is much more convenient than wrapping the cord back around the neck of the vacuum. I like the canister style because it has the light weight head that I can push while the canister follows behind.. The heads of canister vacuums are able to reach under your furniture, also making it easier to vacuum the stairs as well. It seems to me the primary benefit to the upright style is that you can stand upright too while you are cleaning.

While you are still searching, think about what kind of surfaces you will clean with your new vacuum cleaner. Carpets need particular types of vacuum cleaners and hardwood floors call for other types.
