Buying a new vacuum cleaner can be a confusing proposition. There are many models, brands and styles to choose from. They all claim to be the best for getting rid of pet hair and keeping families clean. There are prices that range from less than $100 to well over $1,000. Selecting the right vacuum for your home means thinking about more than how simple it is to use and what equipment are included and how much suction it can provide. Think about the surfaces you’ll be cleaning and the way your home is laid out. Also consider whether you want a bagged, bagless, corded, or cordless model.
Thankfully we can say that the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab can help. Vacuum cleaners make up a significant review product category for us. We’re always getting new products in for testing and as a part of the ASTM International F11 Vacuum Cleaner Committee, we meet and interact twice yearly with engineers and technical representatives of all brands to create and define the standards for testing vacuum cleaners that we use to measure efficiency, user-friendliness, durability and more.
