Vacuum cleaners were a luxury item until after World War II, when the middle classes began purchasing them in large quantities. These days, vacuum cleaners are an absolute essential home appliance. Before the invention of electric vacuum cleaners, home cleaning was a major task.
Hundreds of different vacuum cleaners are available on the market and the thought of selecting the right one for you can be daunting. The price ranges from budget models and works its way through to hundreds of dollars. The important thing to remember is that you can find a vacuum cleaner that you are happy and satisfied with and that you can afford.
These days, the most popular vacuum cleaners are the canister and upright models. The built-in or central and the robotic vacuum cleaners are also getting their share of the market. The back-pack cleaners are utilized mostly for commercial purposes and we also need to mention the smaller handheld and wet or wet/dry cleaners.
Once you've decided on the style, then there are color considerations. Modern vacuum cleaners are seen as an item of style and are sold in a variety of color combinations: purple, grey with yellow highlights, mint green and, of course, the old beige favorite!
The next thing to consider is the manufacturer you prefer. The main manufacturers associated primarily with vacuum cleaner production are Hoover and, the new arrival on the market, Dyson.
If you are still confused by the vast array of vacuum cleaners that are available, there are websites that can help you. These review the individual vacuum cleaners and can give you guidance as to which are worth buying, and which aren't. Remember, a vacuum cleaner is for life, not just for special occasions! Take a look at the new bagless vacuum cleaners - you will be totally surprised and amazed at their ease of use and cleaning ability.
