So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Vacuum Buyer Guide

By Mary Westhoff


Deep Cleaning Vacuums

The typical features with these types of vacuums include rotating brushes that agitate the carpet pile and loosen the dirt for better clean. There are some models that offer a handy automatic tool conversion button or switch that you can push or flip as you move from carpet to hardwood floor.

Hand held vacuums

The Hand held vacuums are simple to handle and our of light weight. They come in a corded or cordless, and you could easily mount them to a closet or on the wall if you so desire. The performance of the cordless versions will depend largely on how the charge of the battery is held, as the battery power losses energy, so will the suction power of your unit.

The two types of hand held vacuums include straight suction and suction with a power brush. If you are considering a hand held vacuum cleaner, you should consider its primary purpose, if you plan to use it on a regular basis or occasionally on smaller jobs.

Broom vacuums

Stick or broom vacuum cleaners are wonderful for little tight rooms or office spaces, quick clean ups in the kitchen, or a living room. The major benefit of a broom vacuum cleaner is the light weight. If you have trouble lifting or stroking your heavier upright around, the broom vacuum might be a big relief. You'll also have the good choice of having your vacuum corded or a cordless.

They usually weight 2 - 7 lbs. and allow you to easily store them in the closet, as they take up a minimum amount of space. For quick disposal of the dirt and debris, most models are also bagless as well.

Wet or Dry vacuums

The wet/dry vacuum cleaner combo might be the most versatile vacuum in the market place today, with various attachments and cleaning functions it is a handy unit to have around your house. The canister model can be different from the smaller 8 gallon sizes to the larger 24 gallon sizes.

The HP ranges as well, from 2 to 10 HP. You should always try to match the size of the unit to the size of the job and frequency of use.

Upright vacuum cleaners

One of the most popular features of an upright vacuum cleaner is the bagless system. In addition to the increased performance, there is no need to purchase any bags. Emptying the canister can be a little dusty, although it's still better than messing with bags.

Most upright models come with a standard set of attachments that may even include an upholstery tool, a crevice tool, and even an extension wand. A retractable cord and manual or automatic pile adjustments are other common features. A HEPA filter is another common and popular feature found with most upright vacuums.

Canister vacuums

Canister vacuum cleaners normally include retractable cords. Considering the fact that most cords are around 25 foot in length, this feature will prevent you from having to drag the cord around and possibly damage furniture. A push of a button or a slight tug on the cord will retract it into the canister of the vacuum.

The nozzle can be one of two types, nozzle or power nozzle. To get your carpet as clean as possible, it is recommended that you use the power nozzle, which will agitate the carpet and loosen up the dirt for deeper cleaning.

Another good feature worth having a look for is a suction control switch model, as this allows you to easily adjust the flow of air for cleaning delicate materials of all types such as upholstery and drapery.

When picking your vacuum cleaner, you should always look to pick the one you like the best. The best vacuum for the job is the one you should purchase, as things will work out much better for you that way.
