Vacuum Buying Tips
If you do your vacuuming in your own free standing home when no one else is around, you might be able to stand a noisy vacuum. But keep in mind that a vacuum’s motor can be quite irritating to others (and yourself). Watching TV, studying and listening to music are experiences that can be ruined by a loud vacuum cleaner. Apartment or condominium living might make a sound check a viable test before you purchase your vacuum cleaner.
Try out the vacuum cleaner. Take a turn around the store as you see if the machine maneuvers easily enough for you (remember to listen to the noise factor). How long is the cord and will it reach your outlets when you are home? But most of all, is it too heavy or clumsy for you to handle for all your standard vacuuming jobs.
Then appraise the attachments. Which ones will be truly functional for your home and which are unnecessary. Some may be confusing so don’t be shy. Ask the salesperson to explain each attachment’s usage so you can make the most of your time. Where do the attachments go when the vacuum is not being used? Can they store on the vacuum or do you have to store them somewhere in the house, helter skelter. The vacuuming experience can be even more frustrating if you need to find just the right attachment and it has gone missing. Attachments function best when used in conjunction with a circulating or rotating brush.
