Modern vacuums provide consumers an ever increasing selection of models, styles and types from which to choose from. For over 100 years vacuum cleaners have undergone numerous improvements in performance, convenience and function. Throughout this site you will find reviews and ratings of various manufacturers such as Miele and Dyson, in addition to the types available such as uprights and canisters. As we review the manufacturers we will also examine some of the more popular models and provide a summary of vacuum cleaner ratings based on numerous consumer resources to better assist in your search for an appropriate vacuum to meet your cleaning needs.

When you begin your search I suggest you start by asking yourself a few questions regarding your cleaning needs. What is the primary purpose of the vacuum, spot cleaning or cleaning the entire house? What areas are you intending to use the vacuum, for example the garage or house? Is the vacuum cleaner appropriate in size and performance for its cleaning purpose? What is my budget? As you consider the answers to these questions please also note vacuum cleaner ratings are important but equally as important is selecting a vacuum cleaner that is designed to match the primary cleaning application.

As you continue to research and review vacuum cleaners make note of the features and accessories available and determine if the features are a must have or perhaps a slightly less expensive model with fewer features is more practical. There is no point in getting a vacuum cleaner that can clean the siding on your house, it maybe cool, but not necessary. Instead focus on quality vacuums with positive ratings that fit in with your budget and provide you with all the features you need to make your cleaning easier and more efficient.

For many consumers the style of vacuum cleaner will come down to one of two types: upright vacuums or canister vacuums. Upright vacuum cleaners are the most popular style, in part due to the combination of power, performance and ease of storage at a reasonable price. Canister vacuum cleaners are the next most popular style, with many models providing settings that can adjust to various floor surfaces and are very effective at cleaning upholstery.
