Vacuums & Floor Care

Vacuums & Floor Care at Abt

Coming home to a mess is never ideal, especially when it reduces your productivity and affects focus. Your home is something you should be proud of each time a guest walks through the door and a neat, organized appearance is part of this. Abt can help by providing you with an assortment of high-quality vacuums, guaranteed to keep your floors tidy for a happy, healthy living space.

What Type Is Right For You?

Upright and canister vacuums are the most common types used for household cleaning. Uprights are ideal for carpets, though they remove dirt and dust from all floors and can cover large areas quickly. Not all upright vacs should be used on hard flooring, though, as they can scratch. Canisters are more portable and as the motor and bag are separate from the hose, they're simpler to use. While it can clean many different surfaces, it's the preferred choice for hard floors. Canister vacs are also lighter in weight and have a power head that can maneuver tight areas with ease. For more guidance on choosing between these classics, check out our upright vs. canister comparison. Handheld and stick vacuums are some of the most compact options available, most often operating with batteries. These models are perfect for small spaces and messes. If you have a multi-level home, consider storing it on a second level to eliminate the haul of a heavier appliance when cleaning. Robotic vacuums give you the luxury of hands-free cleaning and are also battery-operated. Programmable and self-propelled, robotic vacuums suck up all kinds of debris and dirt from floors. They use smart technology to sense stairs and other obstacles, while also roaming under furniture to clean neglected spots. To dive deeper, read our informative article on the advantages of a robotic vacuum. While these four models are just the most popular choices, Abt has plenty more floor care appliance styles to explore.

Features for Optimal Cleaning

Each vacuum at Abt has unique characteristics that offer different benefits to customers. Some have bags, while others are bagless. Bagless models are more convenient, as instead of having to remove and replace bags consistently, you can simply detach the container and quickly dispose of the debris. Bagged models, on the other hand, keep dirt and dust more contained, which prevents further messes and irritation for those with allergies. Some of these appliances feature a brush roll on/off setting that allows seamless transitions between carpet and hard floor with zero damage. Filters are a necessity for those sensitive to dust, dander and pollen, and HEPA filters are considered to be most helpful because they remove these particles from the air as you clean. To save money, consider purchasing a style that includes a reusable filter. Your appliance can even come with a revolving brush system, which is especially handy for pet owners as it works to agitate the floor and dislodge any dirt particles for easier pickup. Similar to appliances such as the robotic vacuum, some models are battery-operated, so customers have a choice between a cordless and corded cleaning experience. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks, so before deciding, consider how much flexibility you desire, the filter capacity, the battery life and more. To get a better understanding of the differences, review our cordless vs. corded vacuum comparison.
