For example, the cleaning path on this model works quite well on low-pile carpets, because of the flexible suction head.
Namely, this vacuum cleaner is something like a mink. If it can get its suction head below a piece of furniture, it can get through there in its entirety. This is because the steering stick, together with the extra-large dust bag can be lowered beneath the height of the suction head itself.
As far as the cleaning path of this model is concerned, because this model is an upright vacuum cleaner, you can expect it to be quite wide. This will enable you to pick up various pieces of debris with this model quickly and easily - and in less time than it would take you to do so with a conventional vacuum cleaner.

Combining some high-tech German engineering and a bunch of accessories that can help you clean up a variety of different areas, this model from Miele represents a great solution for a person looking for a powerful cleaning contraption.
When it comes to the reason why this model can be used on multiple surfaces, the secret is in the well-designed suction head. At the flick of a switch, you can change the height of the suction head thus enabling you to vacuum clean both hard floors and carpeted surfaces with the same suction head. This also gives you plenty of room to vacuum clean underneath the furniture, where it can be difficult to reach.

Also, in case you need to approach a certain surface with a special sort of attachment, you won't be lacking, because the folks at Miele have provided a number of these for you to use.
Pros:

A sleek build with a modern-day look that can do wonders when it comes to vacuuming your carpet is what makes this Hoover platinum collection lightweight vacuum cleaner. The niceties with this model don't just end with its immaculate appearance, though.
Namely, the folks at Hoover made sure that this special edition contraption is special in other, more technical ways, as well. So, to make this model powerful as well as good-looking, they installed in it a 12-Amp motor. This powerful thing 'under the bonnet' makes it possible for this vacuum cleaner to use wind-tunnel technology for excellent results.
Also, this model features illuminated fingertip controls, allowing you to see what's going on in a poorly lit environment. The bags are all HEPA filtered and there is a special full bag indicator onboard so that you know when this thing needs to be emptied.
Pros:
Cons:
| Brand | Hoover Commercial |
|---|---|
| Surface | Upholstery |
| Cord Length | 35 Feet |
| Item Weight | 15 pounds |
Last but not least, as the entry number ten on this list, we've got a model that comes from the famous vacuum cleaner-making company called Hoover. Probably the most important single piece of information for this product would be the fact that it comes with wind tunnel technology, enabling you to tackle easily messes on both hard floors and carpets.
The trick is that the powerful suction of this model can extract hairs, dirt particles, and dust from all sorts of floors. Thanks to three different air channels ( each sucking in the air from the floor at a slightly different angle ), you can rest assured that this model won't miss out on any dust particle along its way.
In the department of filtration, this Hoover models fare fairly well, too. The filter onboard, namely, is a powerful HEPA model that can be a proper lifesaver for people with allergies. Also, it works wonders for pet owners, because it can neutralize some of the odors and potential allergens.
Pros:
Cons:
No matter how excellently built a vacuum cleaner is, if there isn't a thorough filter onboard, you can say ta-ta to the benefits you may have received while cleaning a carpet or a non-carpeted area in your home.
The thing is, the exhaust air that comes out of the other end of a vacuum cleaner carries in itself all the pollutants and dust that is picked up from off the floor - but in microscopic form. So, to prevent these harmful tiny particles floating about in your room, the manufacturers of vacuum cleaners tend to install filters that the exhaust air needs to go through before it leaves the vacuum cleaner itself.
HEPA filters seem to be the best option currently on the market, regardless of the type of your vacuum cleaner, so try to get a model with this sort of filtering configuration.
Not every vacuum cleaner has a hose, but with those that do, ensuring that they are long enough and strong enough to withstand years of use is of great importance. Since the hose will act as an elongated suction portal, so to speak, it's important to make sure that it's wide and elastic enough, so that its shape or weight doesn't choke it out.
Other than this, the length of the hose itself is an interesting parameter to look into, because the longer the hose, the more of a reach you'll have to use when vacuuming around your house.
This would be another point to take into consideration that has to do with the reach.
As you know, when it comes to the way they receive their power, vacuum cleaners can be either corded or cordless. The corded ones need to be plugged in a wall electrical socket, so you can use them. Therefore, their reach is limited by the length of their power cord.
On the other hand, cordless models are powered by a battery, that you have to charge before use. This means you'll have to charge them before every use pretty much, but it also signifies that you will have greater freedom of movement.
So, if you prefer to be able to cover more 'ground' - go for a cordless model. If you don't mind sticking to one room at a time, and don't fancy waiting around for the batteries to charge up - get a corded vacuum cleaner, instead.
For your vacuum cleaner to be able to pick up all sorts of messes that you throw at it, so to speak, it has to have plenty of suction power. This suction power comes from the motor, of course.
Thus, to make sure your vacuum cleaner won't have problems picking up various pieces of debris around the house, make sure you find a model with a powerful motor. You can usually find this value in the descriptions of the products themselves. Although the measurement units and systems vary, look for numbers with air watts or CFM ( Cubic Feet per Minute ) behind them - as these two are the most common ones.
In the department of accessories, vacuum cleaners represent probably the best equipped and the most versatile home appliances. Whether it's picking up pet hairs, squeegeeing off some sticky spilled orange juice, or polishing up a tile floor, these cleaning contraptions will probably have some sort of attachment or special brush to take care of it.
The more attachments and extra parts a vacuum cleaner comes with, chances are - the more cleaning work you'll be able to do with it. ( The biggest problem with this is that some accessories can be made from cheap plastic, so be careful to read the reviews of the product you're ogling, lest you end up with something like 10 broken attachments a couple of months after you bought the vacuum cleaner itself. )
One of the most important differences between a bagged and a bagless vacuum cleaner would be the question of the disposal of the dust and whatever else you've picked up off your floor during your vacuuming session.
The thing is, bagged models tend to be more hygienic in the sense that you don't have to touch the contents of the bag when discarding it. So, if you'd like to have a vacuum cleaner that will just do the job of cleaning and where you won't have to worry about dealing with that same dust and those pollutants again - get a bagged vacuum cleaner.
When it comes to the sort of filtration you can find onboard these vacuum cleaners, there is no limitation to what sort of filter can be installed on a certain model of a vacuum cleaner. So, the well-known HEPA filters can be found both on bagged and bagless models.
The only slight difference would be that the bagged models tend to all come with a powerful filter ( whether it's HEPA or something else ), so if you decide to go with one of these, you can rest assured that the filtration will be top-notch. ( Unless you buy some badly made model, of course. )
… and by maintenance, we mean the act of emptying the dirty bags or canisters.
You see, with bagless models, you have these dust canisters to collect the debris the vacuum cleaner sucks in. You don't have to buy new canisters pretty much ever - if you take good care of them, so there are no costs there, but you will have to empty them after every use. This is why bagless models are often considered a tad heavy on the maintenance part.
Bagged vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, don't require any maintenance other than throwing away the bag after you've used it.
The basic modus operandi of a bagged vacuum cleaner is quite simple. The bag itself is a filter, which bars the dust and other nasty particles from reentering your living area once you've picked it up from off the floor.
So, these particles are trapped in the bag, while the air can still flow through it any reenter your living area. Now, the efficiency in this 'transaction', so to speak isn't always perfect, but many manufacturers of these cleaning contraptions do boast up to 99.97% success rate on some of their models with HEPA filters on.
Once the bag's full, you just need to detach it from the rest of the vacuum cleaner and then simply throw it away. Then pop back on a new one, and you're ready to roll again.
Since bagged vacuum cleaners tend to be more hygienic than their bagless counterparts, so to speak, folks with allergies may have an easier time working with them.
The thing is, if you have a bagless vacuum cleaner, you'll have to detach its canister every time it gets full and then discard its contents in the trash bin. While doing this, chances are - you're going to inhale some of the dust and other allergens from that canister, which can trigger people with allergies.
On the other hand, a bagged model is much easier on the allergy sufferers in this respect. If the bag is full on your vacuum cleaner, simply throw it away and be done with it, instead of having to empty it yourself.
As we've already pointed out, throwing out a bag is much more sanitary and less dangerous for allergy sufferers than having to empty the foul contents of a canister yourself. So, other than eliminating the allergy factor from the vacuum cleaner maintenance equation, so to speak, bagged models are also quite strong in the department of cleaning.
Other than having to empty the canister yourself, you'll probably also have to clean it afterward, because some particles will remain stuck to its walls. ( Especially if there's some moisture involved. ) So, if you don't fancy cleaning the canister up after every use, you may have an easier time using a bagged vacuum cleaner.
When it comes to their effectiveness in removing pet hair, there's no difference in performance between bagged or bagless models.
The most important parameter to look into if you'd like to buy a vacuum cleaner that can remove pet hairs with ease would be its brush. The better the brush or a brush roll, the more success you'll have at removing some of the pet hairs from off your floor.
As we mentioned above, allergy sufferers may have an easier time using a bagged vacuum cleaner than a canister one.
The reason for this has got to do with emptying the dust canister. With bagged models, you don't need to open the bag to empty its contents because you just throw everything in a single go. Bagless models, on the other hand, require you to empty them after every use, which can be bad for allergy sufferers.
Yes, they do.
Both bagged and bagless vacuum cleaners come with filters, and they can both be quite effective at removing the various allergens from the exhaust air.
That said, bagged models usually have inbuilt strong filters, which may not be the case with their bagless counterparts.
Some bags can be emptied while some are thrown away after they get full.
If you have a model that can be reused, there's usually a small slider at the bottom of it that you'll be able to open to take out the contents of the bag and chuck them in the trash. Once you've finished with this job, make sure to seal the slider back in its place and then you can use it again.
