How do I Find a Decent Vacuum?

Hi and welcome back to my carpet care blog. Today we’ll talk further about how a decent vacuum will help keep dust and allergens out of you and your family’s lungs.

“Do you need the best?  I can afford the best so why not get the most expensive vacuum cleaner I can find?

Because what’s hyped and pushed as the best often just means this is what we have on the shelf and we’re gonna ram it down the consumer throat because they don’t know any better. As if they could pull that on you!

I’ve seen an absolutely terrible vacuum show up in more expensive homes then I can tell you.  It was cheap, inexpensive and right in front of me so I grabbed it just for quick touch ups. I’ve got the really good one in the closet but for quick jobs this thing is lightweight and ideal.

Wow. Those marketing guys really know their stuff. Of course it was in your way at the store. They paid big money to place it there. Along with a multi-million dollar median campaign so you would recognize it when you saw it and if not in the top of your mind it was pretty close to the top so your subconscious send your hand out to pick it up before you even realized what you were doing.

I’m too smart for that kind of thing. No you’re not. None of us are because it works and they know it does. Avoid buying a quick lightweight vac you can hold in one hand. Drag out the dinosaur you already have, empty the dirt cup or replace the bag when it’s half full or stinks of doggy dander and give your floor coverings a good going over.

Light weight and convenient is not always the best for your lovely home’s furnishings or your precious family’s indoor air quality.
Till next time.
