As in a previous blog, having a good quality vacuum is an essential part of maintaining your flooring. While we have our preferences, we don’t want to tell you what brand to pick. We like to use the bagless vacuums, and hepa filtered ones will help keep your home free of allergens.

Base your decision on price, quality, and any accessories that are beneficial to your cleaning needs such as an upholstery attachment, edge vacuuming, etc. there are publications such as Consumer Reports that can provide useful info for rating and overall quality.

But generally, compare the motor amps, and choose the more powerful motors when possible. Also, make sure you can adjust the brush roller height as well as disengaging it if needed for hard surface flooring. There are many vacuums under $200 that can perform as well as some that may cost much more, so do not shop mainly on price. We are always available to tell you what we use, and give you tips for thorough vacuuming. Keep your vacuum clean and empty and it will serve you well for many years! We are just a phone call away!
