5 Features that Make a Difference
You have to clean your house on a regular basis if you want to keep dust away and your health in top shape. So, you need an appliance that can help you clean up fast, quick, hassle-free and efficient, without you getting tired. A lightweight upright vacuum might be exactly what you’ve been looking for, as it can offer you the cleaning you desire. However, there are several models on the market already, so you have to select one that will fit your needs best. So, let’s take a look at the 5 criteria which will make your cleaning count.
- Weight – It plays an important part in choosing a cleaner. Upright models can weight as less as 3.7 pounds, or go as heavy as 20 pounds. Lighter weight means easier storage, easier transportation and gives you the ability to simply lift it above possible obstacles. Since we’re focused on finding the lightest models available, all options weight less than 6 pounds.
- Power Source – To be able to pick up all sort of debris, a vacuum needs a strong suction power. However, depending on the type of cleaner you prefer, it can come in a corded or cordless version. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but, in a nutshell, a corded type will offer you a constant and stable source of power, while a cordless one will allow you easier use but will depend entirely on its battery, thus will have a limited operation time.
- Dustbin Capacity -Upright models can come with a bag designed to catch dust or, with a dustbin. According to your unit’s dustbin capacity, you won’t have to interrupt your cleaning as often. Plus, several units are equipped with a filter right inside the bin, so your air will be clean even when you vacuum.
- Accessories – They play an important part in your cleaning process, as they offer you the ability to clean several surfaces with only one unit. Almost all of them offer you a crevice tool to be able to clean tight spaces, and a dust-brush to suck up dust on a wide array of surfaces, while others might come with even more attachments.
- Swivel – Don’t you hate when you have to stop your cleaning to readjust your vacuum? A unit with swivel will offer you enhanced maneuverability, allowing you to clean around and under your furniture without interruptions or uncomfortable bending.
All in all, before deciding to invest in a cleaning unit, think about your house and cleaning style. Is your house big? Will you need a quick way of keeping dust in check? Depending on what you need, pick a vacuum that will complement your style, one that is easy to handle and maneuver, to clean and maintain without any kind of worry.
