No matter whether you are looking for a vacuum cleaner for your home or for your commercial property when it comes to choosing the right option, it can be quite confusing. Modern vacuums come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and styles, with them often designed to cater to a specific surface.
That means what might be perfect for a small flat with hard floors, might not be the most effective solution for a large, carpeted office building. So to help you with how to choose the right vacuum cleaner, we have taken a look at the different options available and some of the pros and cons of each…
Types of vacuum cleaner
There are many different types of the vacuum cleaner on the market, but three of the most common available to purchase for residential and commercial use are:
Upright vacuums
The upright vacuums are one of the most instantly recognizable, as they have been on the market for a long time and still remain one of the most popular. These machines are relatively lightweight, making them a particularly useful solution for residential and commercial properties as they help speed up the cleaning process. If your home is mostly carpeted, perhaps this might be the right vacuum cleaner for you.
To use, cleaners simply need to push the vacuum in front of them, and then uprights are particularly good at cleaning deep-carpets. Thanks to the upright nature of the product, they are also quite simple to store.
If your property is predominantly made up of hard flooring, then an upright vacuum might not be the best solution. They are also not the best choice to clean those hard to reach places.
Canister Vacuums
Operating in a similar way to a commercial backpack vacuum, the canister option features a main unit and then a maneuverable cleaning head and hose. Typically, the machine is fitted with wheels, which makes moving it from room to room easily, and they are very useful for cleaning around objects, such as chairs, tables, and other furniture.
They are typically a quieter solution compared to upright vacuums, which also makes them useful for commercial properties, such as hospitals, where excess noise can be an issue. Canister vacuums are also particularly effective on bare floors, stairs, and even upholstery.
If storage is an issue, then canister vacuums can take up quite a bit of space, and the hose and head can be quite difficult to fit into a small closet.
Handheld Vacuums
For those hard to reach places, or for areas away from a regular plug socket, then handheld vacuums are a great option. The incredibly light machines make cleaning surfaces and furniture, as well as things such as your car interior, very easy. They are also designed to be used on a range of materials, so they can cover carpets and bare floors alike.
Thanks to their small size, they are very easy to store and can be hidden away out of sight in a cupboard or drawer. However, due to their small size, they do only have a limited capacity for dirt, and they do need to be regularly charged, so they are not suitable for large areas.
