You want to make the best possible decision when choosing the perfect vacuum for your home. It’s important to consider what capabilities you want your dream vacuum to do. There are hundreds of different types of vacuums, and there are many that are pieces of junk, and some that are very overpriced. Many vacuums are highly specialized for pet dander and fur removal. But, if you do thorough research you can find an efficient vacuum. We will analyze some of the most recognized companies.

The Kirby Sentria is one of the most expensive vacuums out on the market. But, Kirby vacuums have been around for about 90 years. Another plus, Kirby is a BBB accredited business. This vacuum is great for cleaning hardwood floors and carpets. But, the Sentria has a pretty loud noise level. Also, if you want a light-weight vacuum, then the Kirby Sentria is not the choice for you. The Sentria weighs in at about 25 pounds. Kirby vacuums weigh so much because they typically have a metal base. Kirby vacuums are known for their door-to-door salesmen, or you can also purchase online from various websites.
