When you are ready to buy a compact vacuum cleaner, please research all the important elements you will require in a space-saving appliance. Good compact cleaners will have most of the following attributes.
Multi Tools
Crevice tools, dusting brushes etc are usually standard with the best cleaners. You should also check that your new compact vacuum cleaner comes with a two- or three-in-one multi tool included. To save space, these cleaners combine the attachments instead of each tool having an individual attachment.
Tool storage
It is advisable to choose a compact vacuum cleaner with storage for tools on the appliance. This enables the tools to be always readily available, attached to the body of the machine and also saves storage space.
Hose length
If you intend to buy a cylinder compact vacuum cleaner, look for one which provides a short hose. Storage of the hose is difficult with these compact appliances, so the smaller the hose the easier it is to put away in homes with limited storage area.
Storing the hose
It is beneficial to look for a model of compact vacuum cleaner which has a system which stores the hose tidily.
Extension tubes
To help minimise the amount of space required to store your compact vacuum cleaner, there are now adjustable telescopic extension tubes available which reduce the overall length of the tube for storage.
Removable handle
The Hoover Freedom and Slalom bagless upright vacuum cleaner models provide the benefit of a handle park system. The handle can be detached which decreases the total height by 30cm, useful if your storage area is shallow.
Streamlining
If you have minimum storage space, it is worth looking for a streamlined model for your new compact vacuum cleaner. Handles and wheels should be incorporated neatly into the chassis so nothing protrudes from the appliance which may affect where you can keep your vacuum cleaner.
Size of the compact vacuum cleaner
When researching elements such as easy storage, it is vital to check the measurements of the compact vacuum cleaners which you are considering. For example, the Hoover Freespace Evo cylinder vacuum cleaner requires only 30cm of space, useful if you intend keeping the appliance in a cupboard with limited proportions.
Hand held vacuum cleaner
If a hand held vacuum cleaner is something you would also like to have, there are now vacuum cleaners with a small inbuilt, detachable hand held cleaner included which does not require any additional space. This could be a superb alternative for consumers in small houses, apartments and caravans with limited storage areas.
Air watts and wattage
If you are environmentally conscious or worried about energy use, you will wish to buy a compact vacuum cleaner with maximum power and minimum energy consumption. You should search for a model with around 1200 watts and 200 air watts. You will then be rewarded with excellent suction but consume less energy when operating the appliance. Also on the market now are models of compact vacuum cleaners claiming to be energy efficient, for example the Hoover GreenRay. Visit http://savourytraveller.com/ for more tips.
