Instructions

1. 

   ~ Decide What You Have To Spend ~

   With any purchase, this is always an important step. Do some initial research to see what the cost might be and then decide what you can afford to spend.

2. 

   ~ Pay Attention to the Filtration System ~

   This is an extremely important step in finding the best bagless vacuum cleaner. Ideally, you want one with a HEPA filter. A true HEPA filter will remove almost all of the airborne particles and will help with the air quality in your home. What kind of filtration system the vacuum that you are looking at is going to have an impact on the overall price, so be prepared to pay more for one with a HEPA filter.

3. 

   ~ Look at the Cord Length ~

   If you've ever purchased a vacuum with too short of a cord, you know what a hassle cleaning your carpet can be. Most are the same length these days, but it pays to check, especially if you have large rooms that you'll be vacuuming.

4. 

   ~ Think About the Attachments that You'll Need ~

   Are you planning to use your vacuum to clean stairs? Do you have hard floors that you'd like to use your bagless vacuum to clean? If so, the attachments that come with your unit should be important to you.

5. ~ Check the Suction Power ~

   The best bagless vacuum cleaner is going to have a suction power of at least 100 air watts. The size of the motor is important, but the suction power, which is measured in air watts is actually more important, so pay close attention to it!

6. ~ Check the Noise Level ~

   Old vacuums were really loud, but that doesn't have to be the case anymore. Look for a vacuum that has a decibel level around 70.

7. 

   ~ Look for Edge Cleaning ~

   The best bagless vacuum cleaner is going to offer edge cleaning, because there is nothing more annoying than getting your carpets nice and clean, only to realize that there is a small area around the edge of each room where dust and dirt collects.

8. ~ Read Consumer Reports and/or Review ~

   One of the best ways to learn about what bagless vacuum cleaners are good is to read reviews written by people who have used them or to check Consumer Reports for their ratings.
