Buying a vacuum cleaner today isn’t like it used to be. Not long ago it was just a matter of selecting from a few brands with similar features. There was not much too choose from.

Your main choice was whether to buy an upright or a canister model. They cost about $50.

Today there’s more involved. Vacuums now have a multitude of features and come in a wide range of price points. It makes it harder to select the one that’s right for you.

Think about how you use your vacuum. Do you have rugs or wood floors? Are allergies a factor? What attachments do you think will be useful? How much do you have to spend? Answer as many of these questions as you can before going vacuum shopping. It will make the process easier and narrow down your choices.

Vacuums for hardwood floors are different than vacuums for carpeting. Hardwood floors require less suction to clean than carpets. Today’s vacuums have very powerful suction and can hold a lot of dirt. Some vacuums use a dirt canister instead of a bag.

If you buy a vacuum in a store today, you’ll find they are pretty good buys for the money. A decent vacuum will cost you about $100 and it can be expected to last about 3 to 5 years if cared for properly.

If you have extra messy floors or carpets, you may want to by a high-end model, like a Dyson. They also offer models for pet hair.

One thing you shouldn’t do is fall prey to door to door vacuum salespeople. Today’s vacuums are so advanced that you will be able to get your home cleaned with a department store model instead of paying out for a top of the line model.
