So, you decided to buy a vacuum cleaner, a wide range of vacuums is available at Hommer for your consideration here *wink wink* but in the case you need to know how to choose from the variety of options available, we’ve got few things for you to keep in mind:  

• Upright vs cylinder vacuums  

- Upright Vacuums
Upright vacs are good for covering large floor areas, particularly carpets. You can vacuum in a more upright position and easily weave round furniture. They're generally better for getting hair and fluff out of carpets too. They can be harder to use on stairs, in tight spaces and under low furniture though, and are often noisier than cylinder models. You can't usually clean as far from the plug socket as you can with cylinders (8.6 metres on average).

- Cylinder vacuums
Cylinder vacuums tend to be more compact, and better for getting under low furniture and into small or awkward spaces. They'll reach further from the plug socket too (10.1 metres on average). The long, flexible hose and small body usually makes cleaning stairs easier. They're usually quieter, too. They tend to be harder to push over thick carpets though, particularly if there's no turbo brush attachment, and the long hose and tube can be awkward to store. They're also more likely to bump into walls and furniture as you drag them along.

- Bagged vs bagless vacuums
For most people, it’s a matter of personal preference. But if family members have allergies or asthma, or if you’re concerned about the quality of your indoor air, a vacuum with a dustbag generally is the better choice.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with bagless vacuums. The better ones do an excellent job of cleaning. But allergy and asthma sufferers need to consider all the dust they will be exposed to when maintaining the bagless vacuum.
 
No matter which bagless vacuum cleaner you use, it still comes down to removing a container of dust and allergens and crud that you so carefully removed from your home, and dumping it into something so you can throw it away. That can release a cloud of dust and allergens into the air you breathe as you throw it out, and as the cloud disperses and drifts into the rest of your home.
 
In addition, many bagless vacuums use filters that you need to brush or wash to remove trapped particles. This also can put back into your home the allergens and dirt you just removed.
 
It’s also important to remember that dirt travels through the whole vacuum cleaner system. The nature of bagless design makes it nearly impossible to seal a bagless vacuum so that there is no dirty air leakage through non-filtered openings. That’s in addition to the difficulties of creating an airtight seal on a collection bin while still making it easy to remove and replace.
