Important Features to Look Out for in Your Next Heavy Duty Vacuum
- Power Source: You have the option of battery or power from the wall. They both have their pros and cons, but at the end of the day what works for you is the best vacuum. The ones with electric cord will run for a long time, but they are limited by the length of their cord. The battery powered vacuums can go anywhere, however the do not last as long.
- Capacity: Whether the vacuum has a bag or a receptacle, the size will determine how long you can vacuum. Capacity also describes the width of the vacuum’s cleaning path. The wider it is the more and faster you can clean your space.
- Static Lift and Airflow: Vacuums with higher static lift can remove more dirt from the surface. And similarly, airflow which is measured as cubic feet per minute (CFM) moves the dirt it picks up through the hose and the tank. Airflow can range between 95 and 150 CFM.
- Filtration System: A good filtration system, such HEPA, will catch the smallest dust particles.
- Weight: Take the weight of the vacuum into consideration, especially if you have to pick it up. Overtime a heavy vacuum can be a problem.
- Height: If the height of the front of the vacuum is high, it will prevent you from going underneath some furniture as well at tight spaces.
- Accessories: Get the vacuum with the most accessories or attachments. These tools come in handy when you least expect it.
