Vacuum cleaners

A vacuum cleaner is an essential helper when cleaning the home, but also the garage, workshop, balcony, or terrace. Today, most households cannot imagine regular cleaning without one. It helps maintain an environment free of dust, pollen, and dirt, which is appreciated not only by allergy sufferers. However, the range is wide – from classic bagged models to smart robot vacuum cleaners. So how can you navigate such a broad selection and choose the right vacuum cleaner?

Bagged vs bagless vacuum cleaner

The first step is deciding whether you want a bagged or a bagless vacuum cleaner. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages, as well as their supporters and determined critics.

• Bagged vacuum cleaner – a proven classic. The bag captures dirt and dust, and replacing it is hygienic and quick. These vacuum cleaners are reliable and suitable for households where air cleanliness matters. The disadvantage is the need to buy replacement bags.
• Bagless vacuum cleaner – instead of a bag, it uses a dust container that you simply empty. It is more economical, because you do not need to buy bags, and it also allows you to check the fill level quickly. The downside is that it needs to be cleaned after each use.

How to choose a vacuum cleaner by type

The type of vacuum cleaner is also important when choosing, because each kind is suitable for a different way of cleaning. Here are the most common models you may come across.

• Stick vacuum cleaner – a lightweight and practical helper for everyday cleaning. Many models are battery-powered, so you are not limited by a cord. Ideal for quick vacuuming of smaller areas.
• 2-in-1 stick vacuum cleaner – a stick vacuum cleaner that also includes a handheld vacuum.
• Handheld vacuum cleaner – great for small cleaning tasks, such as crumbs on the table, sofa, or in the car.
• Robot vacuum cleaner – a modern solution that saves time. Simply program it and it will take care of the cleaning itself while you focus on other activities. Some models also have a mopping function.
• Industrial vacuum cleaner – a powerful helper for workshops and garages that can also handle coarse dirt, sawdust, or construction dust. It is also ideal for cleaning the terrace, balcony, or even a car.
• Window vacuum cleaners – an ideal helper when cleaning windows or, for example, a shower enclosure. It vacuums up water so that no droplets remain on the glass.

How to choose the right vacuum cleaner

When making your choice, also focus on other aspects such as:

• Power and suction performance – higher power means more effective vacuuming. You will definitely appreciate higher performance especially on carpets or when dealing with pet hair.
• Filtration – a quality filter (for example HEPA) captures even the finest dust and allergens.
• Noise level – modern vacuum cleaners can be surprisingly quiet, which you will appreciate in both flats and houses.
• Accessories – these vary by model, but may include, for example, an upholstery nozzle, crevice tool, or rotating brushes to make cleaning different surfaces easier.
• Handling and storage – especially with stick and handheld vacuum cleaners, weight and ergonomics are important.

Battery life and charging of cordless vacuum cleaners

For cordless vacuum cleaners, battery life is also a key parameter. Standard models last approximately 30–60 minutes on a single charge, which is usually enough for a full clean of a flat or a smaller family house. Premium vacuum cleaners with high-quality lithium-ion batteries can work for more than an hour.

Charging time is also important – while cheaper models may take 4–5 hours to charge, better-quality models can be fully charged in 2–3 hours. If you vacuum frequently and do not want to deal with battery limitations, it is worth choosing a model with a removable battery. You can then replace it with a spare one and continue cleaning without waiting for it to recharge.

Brands you can rely on

In our range, you will find vacuum cleaners from trusted manufacturers such as Leifheit, Bosch, Concept, Kärcher, DeWALT, BLACK-DECKER, Makita, Metabo, and others.

Choosing the right vacuum cleaner depends on your needs. If you are looking for a universal solution, a bagged or bagless vacuum cleaner is a great choice. For quick everyday cleaning, you will appreciate a stick vacuum cleaner, while a robot vacuum cleaner will save you time. Choose an industrial vacuum cleaner mainly for the workshop, garage, or cleaning the area around the house. Whatever type you choose, a quality vacuum cleaner will help you keep your home clean and healthy.
