Types of Vacuum Cleaners

There are a number of different types of vacuum cleaner.  We have made every effort on this site to categorise the vacuum cleaners we cover, so that you can easily find what you are looking for.

The following are a list of types we cover:

Central Vacuum Cleaner Systems

Central Vacuum Cleaner Systems offer a lot of advantages over traditional vacuum cleaners, and with price falling, they are now a real possibility for a growing number of homes.

HEPA Vacuum Cleaners

HEPA is a filter that removes up to 99.9% of allergens from the air that passes through it.  Because of this, a growing range of top vacuum manufacturers now include HEPA filters in their vacuum cleaners.  When air is sucked into the vacuum cleaner, it passes through the filter on the way out of the [...]

Canister Vacuum Cleaners

Vacuums are often divided into two groups – upright vacuums and canister vacuums.  The canister vacuums look a little like pods that slide along the floor.  They are often more popular in homes with hard wood or tile flooring, as their suction is not usually as great as the traditional upright vacuum.  The advantages of [...]

Old vacuum cleaners required bags, and these needed to be emptied and replaced, costing quite a bit over the lifetime of the vacuum cleaner.  More and more modern vacuums are bagless, meaning you don’t have paper bags to collect the dirt.  Instead, dirt and dust is sucked into a plastic bin that can be easily [...]

Handheld Vacuum Cleaners

Quite often you a large upright or canister vacuum cleaner is over-kill.  If you want to clean the car for example, a better solution is a smaller, handheld vacuum that perhaps doesn’t require an electrical outlet to operate.  This type of vacuum certainly has its advantages in terms of portability, but they also often suffer [...]

Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Upright vacuum cleaners are the traditional vacuum cleaners we all grew up with.  In recent times, canister vacuums have also become popular, but upright vacuum cleaners have a number of advantages over the canister vacuums.  Generally speakin upright vacuums have stronger suction and this is a major factor in choosing an upright over a canister [...]
