Vacuum cleaners have become a lot smaller and much easier to use in the last decade or so. This article will inform you if one of these modern compact vacuums would suit you and your home environment.

The main advantages of using small or compact vacuum cleaners include, they are ideal for vacuuming smaller types of flats/houses, small holiday homes and caravan interiors.

They are also ideal for those who may be elderly, or someone that does not have the strength to lift or mobilise bulky vacuums around your home. These machines are simple to use and are easy to store away in compact storage areas when you are finished vacuuming at home.

A small number of people believe that because they are small, they are not be as expensive as more heavier vacuum cleaners on the market. This has been proven to be untrue recently.

Apparently, the modern high-tech small vacuum cleaners that are being touted today are basically the same price as other vacuums that carry more weight, or cost more. In this age of busy lifestyles, consumers are willing and ready to pay more for vacuums of less weight. Less weight is equivalent to less effort involved when vacuuming your home.

Certainly there are a few disadvantages to these compact vacuum cleaners. Beginning with machine dust capacity, which is always going to be smaller than bigger vacuums that can cope with larger dust bags and containers, irrespective if it\’s a bagged or bagless vacuum. Smaller capacity causes more frequent emptying and changing of the bag or dust container which is not the best health option.

None of us likes to have any contact with dust or dust bags, and this is a very important consideration, particularly for asthma and allergy sufferers, who are rightly advised to have absolutely no contact with this dangerous dust.

In general, vacuum cleaner hoses and cord lengths are mostly shorter on small vacuum cleaners, which may cause some trouble if you want to vacuum where there is no electric output to plug into, or you find it difficult to reach parts of your home where you wish to vacuum or clean.

In most cases, the smaller the vacuum, then the shorter cleaning or vacuum range you will have at your disposal. So the only solution to this is to find a long extension cord, but stopping and starting often makes your cleaning tasks longer and takes up more effort on your part.

A small upright vacuum cleaner would especially suit you if your house has large areas of wall to wall carpets, as they use powerful air/electric driven brushes to shift dirt and vacuum up hair, grime and dust. Their hoses are somewhat longer than with small canister vacuums, enabling almost effort free vacuuming of stairs and removing dust from your ceilings and curtains. Traditional upright vacuums are more bulky and difficult to move around your home, especially in small tighter areas of the home.

Small upright and lightweight vacuums can be stored neatly away in any small storage space or in areas under your staircase. Small and compact cylinder vacuum cleaners are ideal for a wide range of floor types, carpets or hardwood/tiled. These types of vacuums have a relatively wide cleaning radius/range and can stretch to the inaccessible areas of your home.

They can easily clean underneath beds because the suction head is not integrated within the main unit of the vacuum. Although some models of small cylinder vacuum can be easily stored in a small cupboard, and these vacuums will be easier to store away than traditional upright cleaners. Small vacuums really are ideal for smaller homes and caravans, and are very navigable in small awkward areas of your home.
