How to Choose an Upright Vacuum Cleaner

The fact is, a vacuum needs to suit your requirements for it to be useful. It's not because of certain feature or type. I bet you have seen different types of vacuum cleaners, among the most common ones are upright, canister, and backpack vacuum.

Tired of pushing? Want something easier to use without much bending and pulling? Then upright type is for you. Forget the old model though. Technology has advanced enough that over the years, design has changed. It is now simple and easy to use and very versatile. But still choosing the right upright vacuum cleaner has everything to do with needs and preferences.

Personally, I like upright model because it has a hose with various attachable accessories for cleaning different areas of the home. Cleaning ceiling fans, baseboards, small corners and tight spots is well done with the use of the various attachments. Need to clean the stairs? Many upright vacuum cleaners have some type of adjustment for multistory homes. When a person is choosing an upright vacuum cleaner they will want to look at these specific features on the vacuum to make sure they are getting just what they need.

Now, you might be wondering if bag or bagless model will better suit you need. In recent years, the bagless model has gained popularity among many households.

What is the difference? In short, with the bagless model, you gather all the dust in a canister on the body and empties it periodically. Because replacing the bag is not necessary, you will save some money. The drawback is, emptying the content of the canister may prove messy and some people may want to avoid that at all cost. For allergy sufferers, perhaps the answer is obvious. Rest assured though that none of any model works better than the other.

When it comes to price, an upright vacuum cleaner costs between $100 to $500. Some models are slightly less. Some cost much more. If a basic model with less features is all you need, you can expect to pay much less. But cost can run up to the thousands of dollars if you want powerful features.

A bit of research should give you an idea about which model is within your budget. You can find many affordable vacuum cleaners. Some of them will perform well for a few years. It might be wise to choose a product that comes with full warranty, although it may cost a bit more. It's simply a personal choice. Whether you choose to spend a hundred bucks every few years or a thousand dollars for a decade or more quality vacuuming.
