The ever-expanding range of vacuum cleaners in the market can be overwhelming. With sticks and cylinders, handhelds and uprights, finding one that’s suitable for all your cleaning needs can be a challenge.


The world of vacuum cleaners has transformed with today’s modern technology so it’s difficult to keep up with models, brands and the features they offer. We’ve created this guide so you can make the right choice for your home.

Types of Technology

 

Anti Hair Wrap

 

Sick and tired of hair wrapping round your brush roll and having to remove it by hand?

 

Shark’s Anti Hair Wrap technology separates and removes hair from the floorhead as you clean - no more tangles! It’s ideal for removing long, short and pet hair on a variety of floor types including laminate, stone and parquet.

 

Ball Technology

 

Modern vacuum technology has moved on from swivel steering, which allows you to tilt your machine sideways to move around obstacles. Ball-based manoeuvrability, made famous by Dyson, makes steering even easier and cleaning smoother.

 

Floorheads

 

If you have a few different floor types in your home, one floorhead might not be enough to give each surface a thorough clean. In general, most vacuums either come with a self-adjusting floorhead or a hard surface floorhead and they don’t work interchangeably. Plus, if the floorhead is missing a rotating brush, it will probably drag along the floor as there’s nothing to raise it up. This will make it difficult to run over long pile carpet.

 

 

Pet Vacuums

 

Pet hair is one of the worst to clean. You’ll need a vacuum with a beater brush, turbo tool or specific pet attachment to keep your house fur free – some models are specifically designed for pet owners.

 

Handheld cleaners are also a great option for you to keep on top of pet hair.

 

A special pet tool is either a type of small turbo brush (with a rotating brush), or an upholstery tool. They’re designed to remove pet hair, as well as the allergens it contains.

​​​​​​​3-in-1

Miele’s innovative, lightweight, 3-in-1 design allows you to detach the unit from the stick, converting it into a handheld device for quick cleaning and tackling car interiors. If you need to clean those hard-to-reach areas behind the furniture or underneath the beds, you can position the unit at the top or bottom of the wand.
