Buying the Perfect Vacuum for Our Apartments by The Villages, FL

When it comes to finding the perfect vacuum for your apartment home, there are many factors at play. You want a vacuum that is versatile, affordable, and powerful. Vacuums come in all shapes and sizes, with all different kinds of features. There are many things to consider when choosing a model, and since many vacuums will serve as a convenient cleaning tool for years and years, it’s a worthwhile investment for your home and you want to be sure you are getting the most out of it.

Here are a few factors to keep in mind while searching for that perfect vacuum:

• Usage. How often do you see yourself vacuuming your floors? If you are someone who likes to vacuum on a daily basis, or even a few times a week, consider a lightweight stick model. Since you’ll be vacuuming so frequently, you won’t need a model with a ton of power. For those who wait to vacuum for a week or more, choose a larger upright or canister model with a powerful motor.

• Power. The most important factor at play when it comes to choosing a vacuum is the suction power of your vacuum, followed close behind by cyclonic action. When you’re looking at your options, pay closer attention to air watts than the amount of AMPS. Air watts tends to be a better indicator of the machine’s cleaning power. How many watts do you need? Many experts suggest a vacuum with at least 200 watts.

• Bagless or not. Another factor to think about is whether you want a vacuum that is bagless, or one that requires a bag to function.There are many advantages to bagless vacuums, including not having to stock up on bags and typically being easy to clean. Vacuums that require bags will give you less exposure to particles when throwing it away, though you do need to factor in the fact that the vacuum may lose suction and air power as the bag gets full.

There are many other features you may want to consider when it comes to buying a vacuum for our apartments by The Villages, Florida, but the three factors listed are the most important to begin with. Then you can further decide what special features you may want your vacuum to have, such as hoses, crevice tools, and dusting brushes.
