You Don’t Have to Buy a High End Vacuum to Get One of the Best Vacuums of 2015

One of the biggest myths still prevailing over customers is the belief that you have to spend hundreds of dollars for a quality vacuum cleaner. That’s not true because there are many quality products sold for $150 or less. But as any longtime user of vacuum cleaners will tell you, these things vary in quality, so you need to look beyond the price tag.

Shark Navigator Deluxe (NV42)	A great vacuum from Shark
Shark Navigator DLX (NV70)	Unbelievable you get this much vacuum for such a price!

You have to consider usage: what exactly will you be using a vacuum cleaner for? Is it to just clean bare floors? Or does it include stairs, your car draperies and upholsteries? If the answer to all these is yes, then an all-purpose vacuum cleaner is what you need. If your main concern is pet hair removal, get one of those that are labeled as such. While all vacuum cleaners are capable of pet hair removal, some do it better than others.

These units also have specially designed filtration systems that remove allergens in your furniture and even the air around it, and this will be important if you’re trying to get rid of dust mites and pet dander and odor. Filters can be effective but in many cases they need to be replaced, though vacuum cleaners with washable filters are now available.

The other thing you have to consider is size: if you’re going to use a vacuum cleaner for the stairs, the unit must be small enough to carry, and there’s also the question of versatility as you don’t want to waste time trying to get it around furniture.

Buyers Guide – How to Choose From All the Good Vacuum Cleaners Under 150 Dollars

If you’re going to buy a vacuum cleaner for under $150, look at their suction power because more than anything else, this makes all the difference. For all the bells and whistles, sucking up dirt and dust is what these vacuum cleaners all come down to. Contrary to what some may believe you can still get as powerful vacuum cleaner for less than $150, so look at the air flow and how well the unit can get into carpets and floors.

While most people are familiar with upright vacuum cleaners, there are many other options available now such as handhelds and canisters. Handheld vacuum cleaners are ideal for stairs and car cleaning since they’re light, but the good news is a lot of models are 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 so you’re getting good value for your money. Even if you only use a vacuum cleaner for a particular purpose, having a multifunctional unit might come in handy in the future so it’s something you ought to consider.

A lot of vacuum cleaners have special tools and accessories, and while some people think they’re filler, a lot of these tools and attachments actually go a long way towards increasing a vacuum cleaner’s functionality so they’re definitely worth considering. You also need to look at its weight: if you read ads you’ll notice that brands emphasize how light their product is, and rightfully so because a heavy vacuum cleaner can be a burden especially if you use it often.
