What is the best vacuum cleaner? Find yours with this guide

 

When choosing the best vacuum cleaner for home or business use, the decision largely depends on the device's cleaning efficiency. However, making the right choice can be challenging with so many options available on the market.

 

That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you identify the best vacuum cleaner, providing recommendations that suit the needs of homeowners and the demands of business environments.

 

How to know which vacuum cleaner is right for you

 

Selecting the right vacuum cleaner depends on your specific needs and the environment where you plan to use it. Here are some key points to help you make the best decision.

 

Usage and surface types

 

For home use, upright or canister vacuums are the most popular. However, if you require a vacuum for a commercial setting, such as offices or stores, look for an industrial vacuum designed for long hours and large areas.

 

Consider a vacuum with a powerful rotating brush if your space has primarily carpets. A vacuum with strong suction but no aggressive brushes is ideal for hard floors like wood or tile. If you have a mix of surfaces, opt for a vacuum with adjustable settings to accommodate both.

 

Some of the most versatile vacuum models at Max Warehouse include:

 

• Bissell CrossWave 0.1 gal Corded Upright Stick Wet/Dry Vacuum Tool Only 4.4 amps 120 V: This vacuum is a revolutionary, all-in-one, multi-surface cleaning system that vacuums and washes floors simultaneously. With a Dual-Action Brush Roll rotating at 3,000 RPM and an innovative multi-surface cleaning solution, the CrossWave cleans better than a sponge mop and bucket in less time. Plus, with the touch of a button, it can easily switch from hard floor to rug cleaning.

 

• Milwaukee M18 FUEL 0910-20 6 gal Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum 18 V 3.5 HP: Ideal for large wet or dry cleanups in workshops, garages, or job sites. Powered by an 18V Milwaukee M18 battery, it provides cordless convenience and mobility for indoor and outdoor use. It includes a HEPA filter that captures fine dust and debris, improving air quality during use.

 

Size of the area

 

If you need to clean large areas regularly, consider purchasing a vacuum with a long cord or one that runs on a durable battery. A compact or portable model may be more convenient for small or hard-to-reach spaces. If you run a cleaning business, having one vacuum for large areas and another for portable use could be the best solution for thorough cleaning.

 

Some examples of cordless vacuums include ReadyClean Bagless Cordless Standard Filter Rechargeable Stick/Hand Vacuum, a cordless, bagless stick vacuum with an integrated hand vacuum for versatile cleaning in hard-to-reach areas. A rechargeable battery provides cordless convenience and extended run time for cleaning sessions. It measures 44 inches in height and 10 inches in width, making it ideal for compact storage.

 

Presence of allergens

 

If someone in your home or business is sensitive to dust or allergens, opting for a vacuum with a HEPA filter is best. This type of vacuum is equipped with high-efficiency particulate air filters, designed to be tightly sealed, ensuring that all the air passes exclusively through the filter. This helps capture tiny particles like dust, pollen, and mites.

 

Examples of these vacuums include:

 

• Kalorik Bagless Cordless Allergen Filter Robotic Vacuum: This smart robotic vacuum uses powerful ionic Pure Air technology to efficiently trap dust, dirt, pet hair, allergens, and other impurities, improving air quality for easier breathing.

 

• Shark Navigator Bagless Corded HEPA Filter Upright Vacuum: Offering powerful suction for deep cleaning. Equipped with a HEPA filter that traps 99.9% of dust and allergens. Weighing only 14 lbs, it is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and features a large-capacity dust cup that's easy to empty.

 

Pets

 

Consider a vacuum with specialized attachments for picking up pet hair and cleaning upholstery if you have pets. Additionally, look for models with larger capacities to avoid frequent emptying of the dust bin.

 

For example: 

 

• Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Bagless Cordless Standard Filter Rechargeable Stick/Hand Vacuum: This lightweight and cordless handheld device allows you to clean up pet hair and dirt that collects on your furniture, in your carpet, in your car, or wherever your furry friends play. The detachable motorized brush helps capture more embedded pet hair and dirt, providing a deeper clean. The included crevice and upholstery tools can be used separately or stacked to combine their usefulness. In addition, this pet hair vacuum has a two-stage filtration system designed to help extend the filter's life and provide easier cleaning.

 

• Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Bagless Cordless Multi-Stage Filter Hand Vacuum: his vacuum is designed to handle pet hair effectively with features like a multi-stage filtration system, a cordless design for mobility, and a bagless dirt cup for easy emptying.

 

• Bissell CleanView Bagless Corded Multi-Level Filter Pet Vacuum: The Bissell Cleanview Bagless Corded Pet Vacuum is typically known for its powerful suction, multi-level filtration system, and features designed for handling pet hair. The vacuum comes with a cord for consistent power.

 

Noise level

 

If noise reduction is essential, such as in offices, hospitals, hotels, or places where you don’t want to disturb others, look for vacuums that specify a low decibel level or mention being quiet in their specs.

 

Portability and storage

 

Another crucial factor to consider is if storage space is limited. In this case, a lightweight and easy-to-store vacuum would be more suitable. It should also be easy to maneuver, especially in spaces with many pieces of furniture or stairs.
