At last, Reviews.com research article on the best vacuum cleaners is out, and it's oozing with valuable info. Straight out of the gate it hits you with an astounding fact: You will spend an average of 30 minutes a week vacuuming for the rest of your life. Reasonably, the point is made that you should get a vacuum that makes this chore as simple and easy as possible, which is why 19 models were tested in order to find the best ones. The absolute winner, the Hoover Air Cordless Lift, is small and light but has enormous power.
Even though basic performance and quality don’t vary much between mid-range and top-tier models, there's a huge price range between vacuums. Taking this into account, and also the fact that there are over 13,000 models to choose from in Amazon, it was going to be hard to narrow it down to 19 models. Only upright models were tested within two categories: cheap and mid-range. In order to put each brand's top vacuums to the test, the flagship models of top vacuum brands were chosen per price point, and within each point either the most popular or the highest-priced model was picked.
The test was carried out by first spreading large particles (like sand and cheerios) and then fine particles (like talcum powder) on medium-pile carpet and hardwood. Then the amount of passes each vacuum took in order to thoroughly clean up the mess was measured. The vacuums were put through other tests -like an obstacle course that imitated a small room- and the top four were chosen:
• Best overall: Hoover Air Cordless Lift
• Best for Carpet: Oreck XL Classic
• Best for Bare Floors: Samsung VU7000 Motion Sync
• Best Budget Pick: Bissell CleanView 9595A
The article also has a section of useful information. The first thing to know is that vacuuming power isn't about amperage but suction and airflow, which are measured in cubic feet per minute. Another thing to consider is whether to get a bagged or bagless design. Both work well but people with severe allergies will want a bagged model since they trap dust and allergens. Regardless, if you do have allergies or asthma, you will want to follow these tips:
• Live without a carpet: Carpets capture irritating particles of all sorts.
• Use a bag replacement with electrostatic properties: These will avoid leakage of tiny particles.
• Get a sealed HEPA filter: It will capture pollen and pet dander, both of which can be highly irritating.
Finally, you should learn how to repair a vacuum. It's usually easy and inexpensive since there are only a few basic things you need to figure out:
• Where the belt goes
• How to remove the filter
• Where a clog could happen
So what's the bottom line? Choose a vacuum with high suction power and effortless maneuverability, vacuum at least once a week, and change those filters often. Keep these recommendations in mind and vacuuming will become a much easier, faster and more rewarding habit for you.
