Where would you be without a vacuum cleaner? That might seem like a silly question, but it's really not. When you don't have a lot of time and you want to make sure your house is really clean, you need to know what kinds of tools you'll need to use each day. Sure, you can pay someone to clean your house, but most people don't want the expense. Having a stranger walking through their house and touching their stuff is also not viewed highly by many people. Housekeepers are supposed to be professional and insured, and most of them are, but some people are understandably uncomfortable with the idea � and most just don't have the money to spend on things like that with the economy being so tight today. When the economy improves you might find someone to clean your house for you, but since you've decided to go it alone for now you'll need a good vacuum cleaner. But it doesn't mean that you need the most expensive one, or the brand your mother used, or the one your friend recommends. A lot of factors can come into play when you're looking for the right vacuum cleaner for you.

Some things you should think about before ...
... you run out and buy your vacuum cleaner include issues like what it will be used for (wall to wall carpet or area rugs, upholstery, and hard floors), how often you'll be using it, what attachments you might want and need, and what price range you'll be comfortable in � if you can't get everything you want for the price you want to pay, will you go higher? Looking around your local retail chain store will show you that you've got a lot to think about when it comes to buying a vacuum cleaner, and it's all up to you. Better yet, go on the Internet and go to sites that review vacuum cleaners and/or those that offer them for sale. You might be surprised at the prices, what they can offer, and how many of them are available. The most expensive vacuum you can buy isn't necessarily your best choice, but neither is the cheapest one. It's more important to pay attention to the price range you've set, what you can get, and whether you'll be able to buy what you need.

For hard floors, you'll want a canister vacuum. You should buy an upright vacuum cleaner if you're going to be cleaning wall to wall carpet. Both of these are great cleaning machines, but they don't do the same things � they're not designed that way. When you have the opportunity to stay home and look online you should take it, so you're not using all your gas and driving yourself crazy to make sure that you're getting what you want out of a vacuum cleaner � and getting the right one for you. You can find reviews from professionals and also from consumers who use the vacuum on a daily basis, giving you a lot of good insight into whether a particular brand will be right for you.
