When it’s time to buy a vacuum cleaner for your home, one needs to research and opt for a smart product that will keep your indoor environment clean and healthy. Shashank Sinha, Senior GM Marketing, Eureka Forbes Ltd, highlights a few points that will help you to choose a machine that works for you.
1. Manual vs Mechanical: Most people lose out on achieving 100% cleaning as they stick to conventional and physically-intensive methods. The trick is to decide when to opt for manual cleaning and when one must bring in vacuum cleaners into play. This will help you choose the right vacuum cleaner (upright vacuum, bagged or bagless or cylinder) according to the layout of your house. A vacuum cleaner with cylinder helps to clean stairs and hard-to-reach places such as carpets, the space below the beds, windows and grills and other crevices; while the upright version comes in handy in case of large floor expanses.
2. Advanced technologies: New-age cleaners give you an option of UV Sanitization, which takes domestic cleaning to another level by enabling a non-chemical approach to disinfection, leaving your home spic and span in minutes.
3. Wet and dry: Look for appliances like wet and dry vacuum cleaners that perform multi-functions such as sucking all the dirt and dust from the air and unique wet pick-up that sucks the wet spills from floors, leaving it spotless.
4. Requisite tools: Check whether the appropriate attachments that will make your cleaning process smooth are present. A bare floor brush, for instance, will help you clean tight corners efficiently. Similarly, an adjustable brush will be very useful when it comes to cleaning carpets. Upholstery and dusting brush and crevice tools are some of the attachments that are available with a vacuum cleaner.
5. Safety: Since the vacuum cleaners function is to draw dust and remove exhaust air, the filtration system plays a very important role. Ensure that this system is of good quality with the ability to trap dust into the machine instead of scattering pollutants that can lead to allergies.
