In this video, you'll learn about the different types of vacuums and get helpful tips before buying the perfect cleaning appliance for you. It's important to pick a style that fits your needs and determine which features would best benefit you and your home. The five main types of vacuums are upright, canister, stick, handheld and robot. Upright vacuums are easy to use and store. The roller, as well as the extendable hose and attachments, agitate the carpet to remove dust and debris and stores it in a canister. Canister vacuums have separate vacuum heads and bodies and are lighter and more maneuverable. The heads are simpler to fit under furniture but the units are more difficult to move and take more room to store. Stick and handheld vacuums are a great choice for those with smaller living areas and minimal carpet to cover. They're easy to move from spot to spot, as they only weigh a few pounds, are typically battery-powered and can be stored away or hung on the wall. Robot vacuums use a tracking system to move around your home for you and their low height is perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach places. Press play to learn more.
