Choose a vacuum cleaner properly.

Is it hard to choose a vacuum cleaner? This appliance is not exotic one, there is a great assortment of cleaners in the shops – you can take any one if you like its appearance and the manufacturer's guarantee is provided. But actually the situation is not so easy: the modern vacuum cleaners vastly differ from each other in size, complexity and functionality, and thus your choice requires some special knowledge.

So, what do you need to know about vacuum cleaners? What is mainly required your attention while choosing?

Power. The more electric motor is powerful, the more effectively it copes with dust and dirt. The optimum variant is models with power of 350-400W, and for the big houses – 500-600W.
Cord Length. Some manufacturers manage to supply their vacuum cleaners with cord of 3-4 m long – to use such appliance you will need an extension cord for sure! The cord's length must be not less than 6 m, at a pinch – 5 m. However, a very long cord is also excessive: there is no benefit of it, but you risk to get tangled in such a long cord.
Operation Mode. Vacuum cleaners can perform dry and wet cleaning. The dry cleaning is suction of dust and small parts (sand, paper bits, etc.). Devices with such a limited functionality are cheap and do not reliable because of their simplicity. Unlike them the vacuum cleaners which are able to do wet cleaning are rather expensive, and if broken – require a competent repair. However, this is fully compensated by their facilities: «wet cleaning» proposes not only the floor washing, but also the carpets, window curtains and even furniture cleaning.
