Top Rated Vacuums
How We Rate the Vacuums
It's important to test the basics -- we understand that. When comparing vacuums and recommending them to you, we always keep the important things in mind: suction, airflow, attachments, cord length, etc. But even product designers and manufacturers know these things and will use those selling points to market their product. How are we different? We keep our consumers and their real-life everyday experiences in mind. With over 30 years of retail experience under our collective belt, we know that the final test is with the consumer and how the vacuum we sold works out for them. And you guys always surprise us -- we learn from your experiences. Repair records, maneuverability, ease of use, actual cleaning ability in real household environments, your feedback -- we use all these data points and more when making our recommendations to you.
Keep that feedback coming!
