Want a Great New Vacuum Cleaner? You need a vacuum cleaner, no question about it - the old model you’ve fought with over the years has finally expired. Or maybe you’re new to this homemaker thing and have only recently recognized your need. Then again, maybe you just want something that will keep your home clean. If it will also make the job easier, so much the better.

Whatever the case, you are looking at vacuum cleaners and planning to buy. Instead of running out and picking up the first new machine you encounter, you might save yourself time, energy, and perhaps some expense by investing an hour or so, thoughtfully considering the project and making notes.

What type of vacuum cleaner do you want, an upright or canister? Upright is great for rugs, but getting to the edges of a wall to wall carpet, or negotiating under and around heavy furniture might be a problem. Canister types handle a variety of cleaning jobs including rugs, carpets, bare flooring and other requirements.

Weight is another issue to consider. Will you be lugging your cleaner up and down steps? Some vacuum cleaners are made of aluminum and/or plastic and are comparatively light. Some are of durable steel which are probably heavier. You’ll need to test the weight and decide which you prefer.

Bag or bagless? Among the choices might be a cloth bag that you empty and put back, or a thick paper bag you can dispose of when it gets full. In vacuum cleaners that are bagless, there is a chamber that collects the dust and dirt which can be emptied. Be aware that some of these are inclined to put more dust back into the air than the bag types do.

Pay attention to filters - particularly if you are allergic to allergens and dust mites. The popular HEPA filter (High Efficiency Particular Air) reduces dust mites and allergens in your home. The best filters are contained in the after motor section and sealed into the machine.

Gadgets and attachments for vacuum cleaners abound. Some are indispensable; others are optional and might delight the gadget-lover in you, but resist being “sold” something you won’t need. Just be sure the vacuum cleaner you are considering is complete with what you judge to be all the essentials. A tool or gadget caddy should be a part of the package.

How about noise? If this is something that bothers you or other family members (maybe the neighbors!) be sure to turn on the model you are considering and compare the noise it generates with that of other vacuum cleaners. Don’t forget cord length. For your convenience, you want a long enough cord that won’t require plugging and unplugging every time you change the location of your work area. A retractable cord works well.

New, used, or refurbished vacuum cleaners? Where to look:

Probably, the first place you’ll look for new vacuum cleaners will be a department store or an electrical goods store. If you haven’t looked at retail vacuum cleaners recently, particularly the newest ‘designer’ models, you will probably be shocked at the price tag! Take heart. Many cleaners are modestly priced and still give excellent service.

Another place to look is in the online catalogs that offer vacuum cleaners. With pictures and descriptive copy to give you much information, you can save time as well as gather a lot of knowledge about vacuum cleaners. Let’s say, you want to see what the used market is offering. Fine! Your first stop might be the classified ads in your local newspaper, or a bulletin board in your favorite grocery store.

Take a look at eBay. You might find used quality brand vacuum cleaners that would be available at budget prices - with a limited warranty to boot! It happens. Another option might be a repair shop for vacuum cleaners that offers good refurbished models. Look for these shops in the yellow pages of your telephone book.

A word about vacuum cleaner maintenance:

Most vacuum cleaners don’t require much maintenance. The literature that comes with it will, no doubt, tell you what you need to know. Just keep your machine clean by wiping it with a damp cloth. Some of the brushes are washable too. If it’s a bag type cleaner, don’t wait too long to empty or change the bag. Take care - if you or another user is excessively rough with your vacuum cleaner, you might be cutting short its efficient and useful life.

Electrolux Vacuum Cleaners

Lately, Hoover and Dyson vacuum cleaners have stolen the limelight, arguing about which one of them makes the best vacuum cleaner. But, quietly, and without a lot of fanfare, Electrolux has been redesigning its range, to bring you the most top rated vacuum cleaners you can buy, and with the introduction of the Trilobite, Electrolux can rightly claim to make the most advanced vacuum cleaner in the world.

Electrolux vacuum cleaners have been cleaning peoples’ homes for many years. Today, Electrolux has millions of satisfied customers around the world, and Electrolux vacuum cleaners rate highly in many consumer reviews. But we don’t often hear about Electrolux vacuums in the press. But that’s no bad thing. While other vacuum manufacturers argue about the qualities of their products, Electrolux has just got on quietly designing a new range of vacuums that offer great cleaning power, no matter what type of vacuum requirement you have.

For instance, take the Electrolux Harmony Canister Vacuum; this is one of the quietest vacuum cleaners on the market. The Harmony vacuum was designed from the outset to quiet; it comes fitted with soft wheels, a powerful, sound-insulated motor and a low-noise floor nozzle. As well as being quiet, the Electrolux Harmony vacuum cleaner comes with a HEPA H12 filter, so over 99.97% of dust and allergens stay in the bag and not expelled back out into the air.

Electrolux also make a top rated canister vacuum: the Electrolux Oxygen3. The Oxygen3 vacuum cleaner has been designed to eliminate, as much as possible, any allergens that might be expelled back out from the vacuum. In fact, the Electrolux Oxygen3 is good at retaining dust and allergens that the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association recommends the Electrolux air cleaner Oxygen Z7030. Electrolux also make the Oxygen3 vacuum in a sleek upright version. The only minus side to the Oxygen3 upright vacuum cleaner is that it is a little on the heavy side.

Also, if you’re in the market for the best stick vacuum you might consider the Electrolux Pronto vacuum. The Electrolux Pronto vacuum cleaner is one of the most powerful stick vacuums you can buy.

The world’s most technically advanced vacuum cleaner in the world is the Electrolux Trilobite. The Trilobite cleans your floor all by itself; you just switch it on and away it goes. The Trilobite has an onboard computer that actually learns the layout of your home, so that after a few uses, the Trilobite knows the most efficient route to take when vacuuming your home. If you move your furniture, the Trilobite learns about it and maps out a new route. Other manufacturers claim to make a similar automatic vacuum cleaner, but their machines merely bump and then turn in some random direction; they don’t have an onboard computer like the Trilobite. However, The Electrolux Trilobite doesn’t come cheap, in fact it’s very, very expensive, so the average consumer isn’t going to be buying one anytime soon.

Electrolux vacuum cleaners are a top rated product. When you buy an Electrolux vacuum you don’t get any hype; what you get is a very good vacuum. They aren’t perfect; the Electrolux uprights are heavier than other brands, the stick vacuum more expensive than others and they may not have the cut edge stylish looks of some. But Electrolux offers powerful cleaning at very keen prices with excellent after sales service.
