Choosing the Highest Rated Vacuums

By: TommyM
Vacuum cleaner ratings are a pretty reliable way to figure out which model is a better buy compared to a competing product. And you don't have to test it because the people rating the gadgets have already done that.

Vacuum cleaner ratings can be found in magazines and on many consumer products reviewing websites. One instantly noticeable trend is that the highest ratings are given to the upright vacuum cleaners. Dyson, Roomba, and Eureka are some of the brands that have consistently managed to earn high ratings from consumers as well as product reviewers.

There are many factors used to determine the rating of a vacuum cleaner. For example:
1.Durability
2.Ease of use
3.Cost effectiveness
4.High quality filtration for allergy sufferers and asthma patients
5.Lightness of weight
6.Workable for pet owners
7.Customer satisfaction
8.After sales services

Based on the above criteria, here are some of the highest rated models:

Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac

This is one of the most popular brands among vacuum cleaner reviewers. Available at a price of $150, it can stand up to the most expensive cleaners in the same class as far as cleaning carpet goes. There is a brush roll on/off button and a HEPA filter equipped with this model and it has earned pretty high ratings in the silence department due to its reduced noise levels.

Bissell Lift-Off Bag less 3750

If you prefer bagless versions of cleaners, then this is the model for you. It is also a very good cleaner for floors and carpets. The main suction can be detached to convert the 3750 from an upright model to a canister vacuum. The cost of this model is $180.

Roomba Red

This is the first product to come from the minds at iRobot and as the name suggests, it is a robotic vacuum cleaner. Designed like a disc shaped robot, this model has earned high ratings due to its highly efficient cleaning. The small size of this battery powered contraption allows it to crawl into tiny places like under the furniture or behind the refrigerator. The Roomba Red can cost approximately $130, though there are costlier models on the market.

Of course when you go around looking for a vacuum cleaner, do not forget to check on the availability of accessories and spare parts for the different models. Usually it is wise to go for models that enjoy high ratings. There will always be a model that falls within your budget and requirements.
