Bagless Vacuum Cleaner Buying Guide

Bagless vacuum cleaners offer easy, effective ways to gather and dispose of house-hold dirt.

You'll avoid the inconvenience and expense of replacing vacuum bags, without compromising on high standards of performance and durability.

They suffer from none of the suction loss that occurs when vacuum cleaner bags fill up, and on the chance you accidentally vacuum something valuable, you can easily go through the dirt receptacle to find it.

There are a variety of models to choose from - here's a little help to find the perfect one for your requirements.

Upright vs Canister Vacuum Cleaners

Both are included in the Appliances Online range and either could be a great option depending on your needs and personal preference.

  • Canister vacuums are distinguished by the wheeled body and the hose and nozzle attachment. They are highly manoeuvrable, compact and lightweight.
  • Upright vacuums combine the motor and suction head into one unit. They are great for a speedy clean, particularly if you have a lot of carpet to cover.

Traditionally their bulk has made it relatively hard to negotiate stairs and access tight spaces. However, our range of bagless upright vacuums - all from Dyson - come with hose attachments, which make reaching elevated or cramped areas a cinch.

Robot Vacuum Cleaners

As a complete alternative to the hassle of pushing a vacuum around, we also have a selection of state-of-the-art robot vacuums.

Able to navigate their own way around the house - with an independent guidance system that maps the ideal cleaning route - you can clean up without lifting a finger.

Choosing the right sized Vacuum Cleaner

Try to balance availability of storage space in your home against the size of your vacuum and therefore its dust/dirt capacity. You don't want to be tripping over your vacuum cleaner when it's not in use, nor do you want to have to be continually emptying the dirt receptacle because it's too small.

Vacuum Cleaner Filtration

Filtration is an important hygiene consideration when purchasing a vacuum cleaner. With quite a few filters in the market, it's important to be sure the vacuum you choose has a filter up to your health standards and requirements.

A common and extremely effective vacuum cleaner filter is the HEPA filter. They are very beneficial for asthma and allergy sufferers. HEPA filters trap fine particles (such as pollen and dust mite faeces) which trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. It is important that the vacuum cleaner has a fully sealed air system for the HEPA filter to be entirely effective.

Remember

Change your dirt receptacle outside your house, because a small amount of dirt or dust is likely to be released when you remove it from the main body of the vacuum. Also, bagless vacuum cleaners incorporate a filter which may need to be periodically cleaned and eventually replaced.
