1. Features: Most important purchase criteria for vacuum cleaner

1.1 Vacuum Technology

The reason why this feature is important is that different filter is used in different technology. And the filter used determines the type of vacuum good for your case. Some technologies used in a vacuum cleaner are- dustbag, cyclone, and Ultra-fine air filter.

Dustbag Technology: In this, a paper of fabric bag is fitted at the end of the air pipe. This acts as your filter and the aim is to catch the dust particle or debris in the bag and allow filtered air to pass through. You can either throw this bag or clean it for the next use. In a bagless vacuum, this place is taken by a detachable container or a reusable filter.

Cyclone Technology: This is a bagless cleaner in which the air is sucked inside and spun around at a rapid pace which throws out the dust particles of the brisk air and dumps them into the collection bin. It works on centrifugal force, and since the dust particles are heavier than the air, they get thrown out. Now you know why it is called “Cyclone Technology”!

Water Technology: The dirty air that is sucked in through the pipe enters the dumb zone through a curtain of water inside the vacuum. The dust gets entirely soaked in water and cannot remain airborne. However, these vacuums need a draining outlet and have to be cleaned after every use.

Ultra-fine air filter Technology: Also called as High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter, it is used as a secondary filtering mechanism. It is used to clear the remaining particles after the air has circulated through the machine and the primary filter mechanism.

1.2 Suction Power

There is a small motor inside every vacuum that spins a small fan attached to it, this process creates an inward suction which pulls the air and dust particles into the airpipe. When suction is created, the air pressure is lowered than the average atmospheric temperature outside, creating a vacuum.

The vacuum is measured in negative since it reduces the normal air pressure. So let us say that your vacuum has 20 kPA (Kilopascal [kPA] is a widely used pressure measurement unit] suction power, it means that it can reduce the normal air pressure by 20 kPAs inside the hose. The higher this suction power, the more powerful your vacuum will be.

Our recommendation: Go for the highest possible suction powered vacuum!

The higher this suction power, the more powerful your vacuum will be.

Our recommendation: Go for the highest possible suction powered vacuum!

1.3 Motion Control

Here, we are referring to the portability of the vacuum. There can be many factors which determine how portable is your cleaner.

Corded vacuum: If your cleaner needs continuous electricity input from the main point, then it may not be as portable as a battery-operated one. Usually, a corded vacuum comes with at least 20 feet of wire to make it easier to take around the house.

Cordless vacuum: A cordless vacuum is going to be easier to push around. But since vacuums need ample power, be sure to check the battery strength and charging time.

Wheels or push trollies: The most crucial feature of portability of your cleaner is if it has wheels or a push trolly as that will make your life easier! If the vacuum has a mechanism that lets you push it around your house while cleaning it, you are going to have a productive cleaning spree without much trouble. There are some cleaners that you can pick-up and carry around in hand, but they usually are small ones with limited capacity.

There are some cleaners that you can pick-up and carry around in hand, but they usually are small ones with limited capacity.

1.4 Weight

The weight of your vacuum is going to depend on its size. Usually, a lightweight vacuum is considered somewhere to be around 6 kg. There are even some vacuums that weigh just 1.3 kg.

Our recommendation: Choose the cleaner that best suits your needs. If you have a big space to clean; a small, lightweight vacuum may not serve your purpose!

Our recommendation: Choose the cleaner that best suits your needs. If you have a big space to clean; a small, lightweight vacuum may not serve your purpose!

1.5 Brushes

The brush set of a vacuum is also an essential factor you should consider. More attachment options mean better cleaning. Let us say, for instance; you have space where there are a lot of nooks and corners to be cleaned; a broad nozzle brush is not going to help you. If you have a set of different brushes, you can choose a nozzle that will reach hard-to-reach corners easily.

Our recommendation: Go for a vacuum that gives you the maximum possible options.

Our recommendation: Go for a vacuum that gives you the maximum possible options.

1.6 Dust Container

The most recent trend of classifying a vacuum is whether it is a bagged or a bagless one.

Bagged Vacuums: A bagged vacuum uses the traditional way of collecting the dirt in a bag which needs to be emptied once full. Some vacuums offer replaceable bags so that when they run out due to maximum usage, you can just get a new one.

Bagless Vacuums: These cleaners use filters to catch the dust particles or debris in a dirt cup or dirt chamber which needs to be emptied later. However, you are required to clean the filters in some cases with a brush. Bagless vacuums are more comfortable to work with and they are an ideal choice for a small space.

Our recommendation: Select the one that suits your cleaning requirement, range, and schedule.

1.7 Power

Vacuums use a sufficient amount of electricity. Here you need to consider two parameters. One is the suction power, and the other is the power consumption from the grid. A decent vacuum will consume around 1500 to 3000 watts and can generate a suction power of 250 to 480 air watts.

Pro Tip: To see what is the ratio of electricity used to suction power produced, refer to the instruction manual of the product! DO NOT go just by what is mentioned on the packaging.

2. Use Cases: The best vacuum cleaner for you

2.1 Which vacuum cleaner is best for cleaning home cleaning?

Your house has ample of dust deposited in all those hidden corners. Plus there are carpets, curtains, sofa covers, and bedspreads to attract more dust. Having a vacuum that has a good suction power as well as ease of motion is something you should look for in your case. A cleaner that has a lot of varied options in the brush sets is also a great fit since one single nozzle cannot reach everywhere and fails to help in cleaning specific areas. Choose a vacuum that has all these features.

2.2 Which vacuum cleaner is best for cleaning office space?

When it comes to cleaning an office space, you need a vacuum that has maximum power and is efficient mainly for the floors. Since office space cleaning usually limits to the floor, therefore vacuum cleaner with fewer attachments would suffice. Moreover, choose a vacuum that is easy to move around and has a decent power to give you spiky-spanky floors.

2.3 Which vacuum cleaner is best for cleaning carpets?

Some hand-held, lightweight vacuums can be used for any specific cleaning like car mats or heavy rugs. For this, you probably need a vacuum that has water technology or is designed especially for such use. The standard vacuums won’t be of use here. Be sure to look for the usage before you decide your pick.

If your vacuum loses power all of a sudden, you may want to check the dust cups or canisters as it could be full. Another reason behind power loss could be a blockage in the air-pipe or clogged rollers. Also, check the motor for any fault. If none of them is an issue, we recommend that you get your vacuum repaired from the service centre. DO NOT attempt DIY this one!

5. Did you know: Interesting facts, figures, and things to know about vacuum cleaner

5.1 Hubert Cecil Booth is recognized as the first engineer to have used the power of suction to clean the dirt than the standard blower method. His vacuum was called “Puffing Billy” and required two people to operate it.

5.2 In the 1920s, blow-dyers, used in the hair solons, were behind the idea of Booth’s design. Who knew vacuum cleaners had a cousin!

5.3 The “Electric Suction Sweeper” was the first portable cleaner developed by a store-cleaner in 1908 which used an electric fan for suction. It was invented in Ohio, USA.

5.4 James Murray Spangler sold his patented design for a vacuum cleaner to William Henry Hoover. Why? All because he did not have enough resources to mass produce! Sad right?!

5.5 Vaccum cleaners are also known as “Hoover”. The reason being that Willam Hoover sold his electric vacuum cleaner throughout North America, Asia, and Europe, and soon it came to be known as “Hoover” and was used as a synonym to vacuum cleaner!

6. Our Picks: How we picked the best vacuum cleaner

To process all information regarding a vacuum cleaner can be exhausting. It is equally important to know which vacuum suits you the best. After extensive research on cleaning requirements and the products, we can say these are the top-ranking features that you should also consider while buying a vacuum cleaner.

  1. Suction Power: The higher the suction, the stronger your vacuum is. Many manufacturers do not disclose the actual suction power and advertising based on the strength of the motor. But the real deal here is to consider the air watts or the kilopascal ratio for knowing the exact power of suction.

  2. Use: A vacuum that can clean both dry and wet spills is always an ideal choice. However, if budget is an issue or you have a specific use case, then buy what meets your need.

  3. Type: These days most vacuums come in the bagless form. These have dust cups or canisters that are used to collect the dust. These are efficient in use; however, a bagged vacuum ensures less dust coming out with filtered air. Consider your cleaning needs and environment before you look at this feature.

  4. Motion Control: Natural movement of the vacuum means smoother cleaning. Check if the cleaner has wheels and is portable.
