Before embarking on the comparisons of vacuum cleaners on the market, let’s make a note of the characteristics and, most importantly, what they represent. Then you will have a smarter choice of the best vacuum cleaner.

Technical information

Power consumption (in watts) is the power consumption. A vacuum power is not necessarily efficient; however, the power is related to the intrinsic characteristics of the vacuum cleaner;

Suction flow rate is expressed in L/min (liters per minute) – the volume of air your vacuum will absorb;

The depression whose unit is kPa (kilo Pascal) is its suction force, the higher it is, the better it sucks;

The capacity of the tank is indicated by L (liter), it depends on your frequency and nature of your applications;

· The weight in kilograms (kg) is important if you need to move your device frequently;

· The noise level in dB (decibels) gives you hearing comfort if you use it frequently; the most sensitive opt for hearing protection;

· The lengths of the hose and power cord determine their range, fortunately, there are extensions!

The battery, and in particular the voltage and amperage, determines its power and autonomy;

The accessories allow different uses; You can find them depending on your team:

A brush – variable rectangular or triangular shape;

One nozzle slot: for precise suction;

· A nozzle for water and dust;

· One squeeze to smooth surfaces;

· A variable shape nozzle brush;

· Suction tubes in coupling;

· A bent suction tube;

· Flexible suction of variable length;

bag or without bag?

In short, a vacuum cleaner with a bag is uneconomical but hygienic and vice versa, a vacuum cleaner without a bag is economical and practical. The presence of a bag improves dust filtration, it can be made of synthetic material (filtering and resistant) or paper (cheap but of lower quality). The interest of the bag is to contain waste that is important if you are allergic to dust and dust mites.

In the case of sideless vacuum bags, except for the ones specially designed for shell models, emptying the vacuum canister can be a big annoying problem! And allergies can hit you again! As you can imagine, unlike bagged models, bagless canister vacuums are subject to periodic cleaning.

Are there new features?

Some do! Depending on the model, some options make cleaning easier or reduce cleaning hours with some specific new features.

Filter cleaning can be manual or automatic; manual, you remove the filter and type; automatic, no need to disassemble for cleaning;

· Sync, mandatory transport to a vacuum shop: allows you to connect your electric vacuum cleaner, no more dust in the air;

· Blower, as its name suggests, transforms the vacuum blower: useful for dusting in inaccessible places or for grouping leaves;

· The two-stage engine for better weight distribution;

· Pre-filter, to better preserve the clogging of the filter;

I understood everything but I need a reference, can you make me a proposal?

To make the right decision, calculate your needs. The technical characteristics of your vacuum cleaner are related to the nature of your work. The frequency of use determines its quality; itself is determined by the strength of the materials and brand awareness.

One last piece of advice?

Your choice of vacuum cleaner should be based on a combination of specifications and features. The choice of materials and electronic components is also essential. Some vacuum cleaners are designed for industrial use and other environments where hygiene is essential. Notice: a chip vacuum is not a rubble vacuum, a wet and dry vacuum is not an ash vacuum – ashes are particles that heat up easily, they can damage the motor in case of suction.
