Vacuum Comparisons - How to Compare Vacuum Models
|
The first thing that you will need to look at during vacuum comparisons is how powerful the vacuum is. A model with a 12 Amp motor is a very powerful vacuum. This strength of motor is typically used in high end models, and generally you will pay more for this type of motor. If you are shopping on a tight budget you can get similar cleaning results from a 10 or 11 Amp motor. You should be careful when looking at vacuums that are priced below $50. These vacuums tend to have very week motors, and they aren't useful for picking up anything larger then dust. The next thing that you will want to look at during vacuum comparisons is what type of filtration systems the vacuum cleaner uses. Older models will tend to use a simple foam filter/collection bag system. These systems aren't the best filtration systems on the block, but they are usually more affordable then HEPA filtration systems. Bag filters usually run about $2.99 for two bags. In addition to the bag filter you will also probably need to buy foam filters. Vacuums with HEPA filtration systems work better than the bag and foam filtration system, however, they are much more expensive to replace. The average HEPA filter replacement costs about $19. The third thing that you should look at when selecting a vacuum is what accolades it has received. Look for certification from reputable vacuum or textile organizations that affirm that the vacuum is a quality machine. If you are interested in a machine that will be able to lower allergens in your home look for models recommended by the American Asthma Association, or other health related organizations. The number of accessories that come with a vacuum cleaner also should be taken into consideration when selecting a model. If a model has a high price and doesn't offer any accessories, then you may want to look for a comparable model that does offer cleaning accessories. On the other hand, if you are trying to buy a powerful model for the best price, you may want to look for a model that only offers the base machine. This may help you to save money on that model. The final thing that you will want to look for when shopping for a vacuum cleaner is that it has a warranty. The type of warranty that is offered with a vacuum will usually depend on the model's quality. Low end vacuums will usually have a 30 day limited warranty, while high end models will usually offer a 1 or 2 year limited warranty About The Author: Jesse Rosato is the Editor and Publisher of Article Click.
