When our faithful old vacuum cleaner starts to break down on us and it’s time for a new one, or when we move house and our needs change, or even if we just feel like buying one of the newer models; then comes the task of deciding which one to buy.

There are so many different vacuum cleaners on the market today; how do we go about choosing the right one for our needs? Do we need an upright, and if so what is the best upright vacuum cleaner? What’s the best canister vacuum cleaner and how do we decide if that is what we need?

1. The first thing you need to look at is the flooring type in your home; are there large areas of carpeting, if so you would need an upright vacuum with a wide base and strong suction, with adjustments according to the carpet pile. If on the other hand you have hard surfaces, like wood flooring which may scratch easily, you will need vacuum heads that will be kind to this surface.

2. Does your home have stairs, necessitating a lightweight vacuum cleaner which will fit comfortably onto a stair tread, or be easy to carry around, while still coping efficiently with heavy jobs. In a home without stairs, do you have narrow passages or small, odd-shaped areas difficult to reach?

3. Is your space made up of one or two very large areas, or several small spaces with immovable objects that need to be cleaned under or around, or possibly a large area but with many high-reach spots or shelves, necessitating an upright vacuum which comes with attachments like flexible hose and long-reach tools.

Every manufacturer and their chosen retailers try to sell you their products as the best, but you need to decide which is actually the best for your needs. Take into account the vacuum cleaner reviews available from consumers who already own the vacuum and can tell you how it functions and give you their opinion. Allow yourself the time to look into this carefully and study your options: look at online sites under “best upright vacuum cleaner” or “best canister vacuum cleaner” as well as vacuum cleaner reviews, to check out all the possibilities. You are about to spend what could be a large amount of money on something which you need to last for several years, so make sure it is a good one.
