An Overview of the Types of Vacuum Cleaners Available

There are quite a few affordable vacuum cleaners available on the internet and from your local store.  Here are the details and descriptions of the types of vacuum cleaners you can get for your home.

Deep cleaning vacuum cleaners – This type of vacuum cleaner has rotating brushes that agitate your carpet pile.  This is so it loosens the dirt in your carpet and gives you a far better clean than normal vacuum cleaners.  Some models even offer a handy automatic tool conversion button that you can flip whenever you move from a carpeted to a wooden floor.

Handheld vacuum cleaners – Handheld vacuum are typically lightweight, and come in corded or cordless models. You may even mount them on your wall if you want to.  The performance of cordless models depend a lot on their battery so choose one well, because the suction power of the vacuum drops when the battery charge gets low.  Both corded and cordless models include suction models and suction with a power brush.  If you’re thinking about getting a portable handheld vacuum cleaner then you have to take into account what you’re going to use it for, whether it’s for regular use or only for use occasionally, for small jobs.

Wet or Dry vacuum cleaners – Wet/dry vacuum cleaners have a combination that may be the most versatile of all the vacuum cleaners available.  These vacuum cleaners come with quite a few attachments and functions, which make it a really handy machine to have around your home or office.  The canister types can vary from large 22 gallon sizes to as small as 6 gallon sizes on the other end.  The horsepower ranges too, from 2 to 10 HP.  When you choose this type, attempt to match the size of the unit to the size of the job, as well as the frequency of use.

Upright vacuum cleaners – This is the old-school vacuum cleaner that you can see on old TV shows.  One of its most popular features is the bagless system, which means increased performance, as well as no need to purchase any more bags for disposal of the dirt.  Emptying the canister may be dusty work, but it sure beats messing around with the bags!  Most upright vacuums come with a standard set of attachments like an upholstery tool, a crevice tool, and an extension wand.  Retractable cords and manual or automatic pile adjustments are features that people like too.

Canister vacuum cleaner – The canister vacuum cleaner, a Miele vacuum cleaner for example, include retractable cords which prevent you from dragging the cord around, seeing as most cords are 25 feet in length.  You can prevent yourself from damaging furniture with a push of the button, which makes the cord retract into the canister of the vacuum.  The nozzle can be one of two types – a regular nozzle or a power nozzle.  To clean your carpet real good, it is suggested that you use the power nozzle, which agitates the carpet and loosens dirt like deep cleaning vacuum cleaners.  Other features can include a suction control switch, which enables you to adjust the flow of air for cleaning delicate surfaces like upholstery or drapery.
