subject: How To Choose The Right Vacuum Cleaner [print this page] When we think of modern living, other than high-end furniture and kitchen appliances, what else come to our mind? Housekeeping tools and appliances would be the answer. One of the household tools that people opt to buy first is the vacuum cleaner. Some may just buy any brand as long as it fits into their budget and also their limited time to spend on choosing the right vacuum cleaner.
To get yourself a good unit of vacuum cleaner, you should go and visit a shop with a good salesperson, who will be able to help you as you choose the right one. This person should know the different variations of vacuum cleaners to suit your needs and difference.
The filter bag is one of the important parts of a vacuum cleaner. After a prolonged use of more than 3 months, it is advisable for you to take it out and tap it outside your house. This is to unclog the micro pores of the filter bag. It is also to make sure that there are no tears in the filter bag. If this happens, all the dirt will not be stored properly and might be spread all over the house. And, should there be any tears, spend a little time to replace the filter with a new one.
A vacuum cleaner prevents dusts, mites, bugs and fleas from being airborne by 'sucking' all the dirt. All of this dirt later will be stored in a filter bag, which will hold the dirt until we remove the filter bag from the vacuum cleaner after the cleaning.
Thirdly, check the adjustability of the vacuum cleaner. You should get yourself the one that is adjustable in terms of heights and the length of the nozzles. If you clean your house regularly, then that kind of vacuum cleaner will ease the back pain because it does not need you to bend all the time. Plus, an adjustable nozzle will also help you to reach high corners. You do not need to use the chairs anymore.
Fourth, get a unit that is waterproof. This is especially important if you are going to clean the areas nearby your kitchen or bathroom. A waterproof unit will avoid any possibility of electrocution, making it safe for you to vacuum in those areas. This kind of unit will also keep the inner side of your vacuum cleaner dry. The dust that you sucked and stored in the filter bag will be kept dry and does not stick to the filter bag when you discard it. Another reason why is that waterproof quality avoids the metal parts from being spoilt by having rusts due to the presence of water.
Even if a vacuum cleaner is assured to be able to work for a long period of time, we should avoid to cause the vacuum cleaner to be overheated. Not just that, we must be kind enough to give the vacuum cleaner a good wipe and some touch up. Use warm water to wipe your vacuum cleaner inside and out. This prevents dust to accumulate in the corners and other openings of the vacuum cleaner.
After all the tips above, you should have no problems now to pick your dream vacuum cleaner. No matter what brand you get yourself, the most important thing is that you get the right vacuum cleaner for the right kind of cleaning duty. The, your unit will be long-lasting and makes your money well spent.
