How to choose the right vacuum cleaner for your home


Cordless handstick vacuum cleaner - The handy helper


Those who prefer quick clean-ups will enjoy its cord-free and grab-and-go design with an easily accessible charging station. A cordless handstick vacuum is more comfortable to use with its lightweight frame and detachable handheld unit, making it easy for you to move around the house and attend to accidental messes or pet dander.

If you’re not fond of cleaning but you’re trying to develop the habit, cordless vacuum cleaners like the Pure Q9 will make it easier for you. The Pure Q9 cordless vacuum cleaner is equipped with innovative airflow design to deliver full suction performance throughout the entire clean, even as the dust bin fills up. With Grab & Go feature, you can simply take the vacuum from its magnetic charging station for an impromptu clean and then easily return it after use.

Robot vacuum cleaner - The all-arounder


The most convenient option, perfect for on-the-go multi-taskers, robot vacuums are remotely controlled from your phone wherever you are, automatically activating according to the schedule you set.

This smart home gadget is quite small but offers high cleaning efficiency. It also has excellent floor-cleaning skills. Known as smart cleaning, it can do far more than what your traditional upright vacuum can offer and requires no intervention on your part. Check out things that pet owners should consider before buying a robot vacuum cleaner.

Bagged canister vacuum cleaner - The dust keeper


This is perfect for the allergy-prone and those who want a deep clean. Bagged canister vacuum cleaners are designed with a bag that is to be changed and disposed of when full. Bagged canisters generally have better filtration, larger dust capacity, and more hygienic bag changing - like the CompactGo.

With its high-performance suction nozzle, Electrolux CompactGo bagged vacuum cleaners offer maximum cleaning efficiency. The product has the power of 1,600-watt motor power, dust capacity of 1 liter and micro dust filter that will protect you from invisible bacteria and small particles.

    Z1220

    • 2-in-1 performance nozzle cleans all floor types.
    • Hygienic HEPA filter for a clean, healthy home.
    • Lightweight and compact storage for ease of use.

Bagless canister vacuum cleaner - The clear contender


This has the same suction strength, filtration and overall performance as its bagged counterpart. But instead of replaceable dust bags, it has a dust chamber - perfect for the eco-conscious who’d rather empty it. Plus, it’s satisfying to see how much dirt you lifted off your floors from the clear canister.

Even if they’re bagless, it’s better to still have less contact with dust. Look for ones with hygienic emptying, like the Ease C4 bagless canister vacuum cleaners that have single button release to carefully dispose your dust in an effortless way. The high-capacity dust container can store up to 1.8 liters, so it requires emptying less often.
