Traditional vacuums could be power-hungry beasts, but over recent years, manufacturers have
made great strides in increasing the energy efficiency of these handy home appliances.
Now, you can set to work sucking up dust and debris around your property without worrying
about how much it’ll add to your utility bills.
However, given the level of choice on offer, it’s hard to know exactly which machine to go for.
With this in mind, here’s a brief guide to help you hone in on the perfect product for you.
“With more energy-efficient
vacuum cleaners available,
you can clean up dust and
debris without worrying
about how much it’ll add
to your utility bills.”
Decide On a Style
Before you start focusing on energy use stats, decide on the style of vacuum you’d like.
You can buy efficient appliances in a range of different designs, including versions with bags
and without.
Bear in mind that while bagless vacuums can be cheaper to run, bagged machines tend to have
higher capacities and they’re more hygienic to empty.
You’ll need to choose between an upright or cylinder style too.
Uprights are heavier and have a smaller reach than cylinders, but they have greater capacities
and are better at picking up hair.
Cylinders on the other hand have better maneuverability and are effective at sucking up dust right
next to skirting boards.
Crucially though, cylinder vacuum cleaners often have large motors, which can mean they’re not as
energy efficient.
“Check the energy efficiency
rating and energy consumption
to see how eco-friendly
they are to run.”
Read the Energy Use Specs
To get the lowdown on energy usage, you’ll need to read the specifications provided by the
manufacturer.
Look out for the energy efficiency rating and energy consumption to see how eco-friendly
they are to run.
Consider the Other Features
Before you commit to buying a particular model, be sure to check out the other features too.
For instance, examine the dust re-emission.
This grade shows how clean the exhaust air is, and it’s especially important if you or someone in
your household has allergies.
Consider noise levels as well, and make sure that the appliance comes with all the attachments
you need.
This could include furniture brushes, upholstery nozzles and more.
As long as you consider all these points when you’re searching for an energy efficient vacuum,
you should succeed in finding one that fits the bill.
