And the wrong vacuum will leave pet hair behind and will not allow for the carpet or flooring to be cleaned during the first pass.

If the happy couple plans on having kids, the right vacuum will be able to quickly pick up messes and help mom or dad save time cleaning.

It’s not until someone has a good vacuum that they really begin to appreciate the difference between a low-end and high-end model.

We’re going to review five models we know and trust, but we want you to know how to compare these models for yourself:

• Design: If you have allergies, a vacuum with a HEPA filter will work well. This is a good design for dusty homes or areas where you’re a little closer to nature.
• Portability: What type of home will the couple reside in? if the home has multiple levels, a smaller vacuum or a handheld option may be a good choice for carpets.
• Extras: The included extras make cleaning a lot easier. A crevice tool or a handheld option can make cleaning up spills, pet hair and even stairs a lot easier than trying to maneuver a large vacuum in these tight and high areas.

We’ll also be discussing a few other features you’ll want to consider after our reviews.

Buyer’s Guide –  How to Choose the Right Vacuum for That Special Couple

Choosing the right vacuum for that special couple is a little difficult. How do you know which vacuum will be best? How do you make sure that you buy a vacuum the couple really wants without dropping too many hints along the way?

One tip is to look at the couple’s wedding registry and choose the vacuum that they asked for personally.

But if the couple doesn’t have a registry or doesn’t list the vacuum they would like, you’ll need to be a little more thoughtful. A few key factors to consider are:

• Price: The price of the vacuum doesn’t make it the automatic best choice. You can find great vacuums in all price ranges, so make your own budget and stick to it.
• Type: The type of vacuum you choose should be based off of the home the newlyweds will be living in. If there is carpet, a vacuum specially designed for carpet is ideal. But if there are multiple floor types, you want a vacuum that can do it all.
• Cordless vs. Corded: Corded models are great for tougher surfaces, such as carpeting, but cordless models are ideal for stairs and upholstery where cords can make it difficult to clean. Handheld models are good, too, especially if the couple has stairs and pets that seemingly get hair everywhere.
• Size: Heavy vacuums may be powerful, but they’re difficult to bring up and down stairs. Keep the size of the vacuum in mind when making your purchase. A stick vacuum may be better than an upright for a loft, but they lack the power of a traditional upright.

When in doubt, ask someone close to the bride or groom for their opinion on which vacuum the couple may want.
