What to consider when buying a stick vacuum?
Here is a set of pointers to give you some insight on what specifications to look for, in order to buy the ideal stick vacuum cleaner for your home.
-
Decide between corded and cordless models: Opt for a cordless model if the area you want to clean is not too big, in which case it becomes really handy. Just go through the room with the stick vacuum once every day, and the room will be spotless! But if your space is a tad bigger, choose a model with a power cord, so that you do not have to worry about running out of power while cleaning.
-
Check the suction power: Choose a product that has a decent suction capacity—it will make your everyday cleaning significantly easier. Just remember that, even though a stick vacuum is not comparable to the regular vacuum in terms of its cleaning capability, it certainly has its unique advantages.
-
Ensure ease of handling: Check the specifications carefully--the stick vacuums come with many convenient features. They'll typically be lightweight, and will allow you to adjust the height. There are also detachable models, which allow you to use them as a handheld vacuum. This really sets it apart, when compared to conventional vacuum cleaners.
-
Check the attachments: Look for additional attachments that are provided with the vacuum, such as brushes and crevice tools. That should help you decide on what stick vacuum you should buy, since there are attachments for special types of flooring, carpets, stairs, and hard-to-reach areas. Most stick vacuum cleaners also come with dust collecting containers, which can be emptied easily and readied for the next round of cleaning.
