Why you need a good vacuum cleaner
A reliable vacuum cleaner is an important tool for maintaining a clean home. It helps tackle dust, dirt, and debris that accumulate daily, making cleaning easier and more efficient. Whether it’s for regular maintenance or deeper cleaning, having a solid vacuum can make a noticeable difference. It’s one of those essentials that, once you have it, you’ll find hard to do without.
Find the type of vacuum cleaner for your task
Vacuum cleaners come in many forms, each suited to different tasks. Whether you're looking for something to tackle large areas or need a more compact solution for smaller jobs, there's a vacuum cleaner that fits your needs. Here's a look at the different types and how they can make your cleaning routine easier.
Handheld vacuums
Our range of handheld vacuum cleaners is designed for smaller and quicker cleaning tasks. They are ideal for reaching tight spaces, cleaning upholstery, stairs, and even car interiors. While they aren't meant for large areas, they provide a practical solution for spot cleaning and handling everyday messes.
Robot vacuums
Our selection of robot vacuum cleaners provides a convenient and automated cleaning option for your home. They navigate around the space, cleaning floors without much manual effort. While these vacuum cleaners may not entirely replace traditional vacuuming, they are a useful tool for maintaining cleanliness, especially in open, flat areas, and can reduce the frequency of deep cleaning sessions.
Vacuum traditional cleaners
Our variety of traditional vacuum cleaners is great for larger cleaning tasks. With powerful suction and various attachments, they can handle different floor types, from carpets to hard floors. They are a reliable choice for regular cleaning across various rooms and surfaces, offering consistent performance to meet typical household needs. The range includes both bagged and bagless vacuum cleaners.
Wet vacuum cleaners
Our collection of wet vacuum cleaners is designed to handle both dry debris and liquids, making them suitable for cleaning up spills or areas with moisture. They are commonly used in environments like workshops, garages, or for cleaning up after water damage. Their ability to handle both wet and dry messes makes them a practical choice for more demanding cleaning jobs.
Find vacuum cleaner accessories in our assortiment
To get the most out of your vacuum, having the right accessories is essential. From filters to attachments, these accessories can enhance efficiency, aid in tackling specific cleaning tasks, and prolong the life of your vacuum cleaner. Here’s a breakdown of the accessories you might need.
Vacuum cleaner filters
Our range of filters helps trap dust, dirt, and allergens, ensuring cleaner air while vacuuming. They help maintain the vacuum cleaner’s suction power and prevent dust from being released back into the air.
Vacuum cleaner attachments and nozzles
Our array of attachments and nozzles makes your vacuum cleaner more versatile. Whether it's for cleaning upholstery, corners, or floors with different textures, the right attachment can make a noticeable difference in how effectively you clean various surfaces.
Vacuum cleaner bags
And at last, our collection of vacuum cleaner bags collects the dust and debris that the vacuum picks up. Depending on the model, they need to be replaced regularly to ensure optimal performance and avoid blockages. Bags also help contain allergens, keeping the air in your home cleaner.
Benefits of having the right vacuum cleaner
Having the right vacuum cleaner can make a noticeable difference in your cleaning routine. It enables more efficient cleaning, effectively tackling dust, dirt, and debris without wasting time or effort. A suitable vacuum cleaner can also improve air quality by capturing allergens and small particles, which is especially important for those with allergies. In the long run, the right model can help maintain the condition of your floors and carpets, reducing wear and tear.
How to choose the right vacuum cleaner for your task
Choosing the right vacuum cleaner can make a huge difference to your cleaning routine. With numerous options available on the market, it's good to consider factors such as your home's flooring, size, and your specific cleaning needs. Whether you need to tackle pet hair, clean hard floors, or deal with large carpeted areas, the right vacuum will save you time and effort. Here's a guide to help you find the best one for the job.
1. Type of flooring
If you have mostly carpets, look for a vacuum with strong suction and a brush to pull dirt from deep within the fibres. For hard floors (like wood or tile), a model with soft brushes or a suction-only mode works best to avoid scratching. If you have a mix, for instance, carpets in the living room and tiles in the kitchen, opt for a vacuum with adjustable height settings or nozzles designed for both.
2. Size of the area
For large spaces or multi-storey homes, an upright or canister vacuum with a large dustbin and a long cord is ideal for quick and efficient cleaning. In contrast, a smaller flat or apartment with limited storage space can benefit from a handheld or stick vacuum that is easy to manoeuvre and store in a cupboard.
3. Pets and allergies
If you have pets, such as a dog that sheds a lot, choose a vacuum with specialist pet hair tools and strong suction to handle fur on carpets and furniture. If you or a family member suffers from allergies, look for vacuums with a HEPA filter that effectively traps even tiny particles to improve air quality.
4. Wet and coarse messes
If you need to clean up wet spills, mud, or debris in a workshop or garage, a wet/dry vacuum is the right choice. They are specifically designed to handle both liquids and coarse dirt that a regular vacuum cleaner can't manage.
5. Automated cleaning
If you want to automate your cleaning, a robotic vacuum cleaner can be the ideal solution for a busy lifestyle. These machines are self-propelled and can be programmed to clean while you're at work, ensuring you always come home to clean floors with minimal effort.
How to maintain your vacuum cleaner
To keep your vacuum cleaner running smoothly, regular maintenance is key. Clean or replace the filters every few months to prevent loss of suction. Empty the dustbin or replace the bags often to avoid blockages. Check the brushes and rollers for hair or debris, and remove any obstructions to ensure they spin freely. Inspect the hose for blockages and clear them when needed. If your vacuum cleaner has a belt, check it for wear and replace it when necessary. Wipe down the exterior regularly and store your vacuum cleaner in a dry place to protect it from damage.
