When thinking of buying a vacuum cleaner, please get your priorities sorted out.Do you want a big machine with several great attachments.Or you want a light, small thing thats easy to move around and operate.Also identify your current and forseeable need-will you clean your carpets, your sofas or your car.
Or all of them.Once you are sure what your requirement is, go for the brand and model that suits you.In india, there are only a few brands available, so the choice is narrow.Also the prices are on the higher side.So before you make the investment think hard.There are companies that offer various schemes.Before availing of any scheme, always check the fine print.We used to have a very big cleaner with many attachments which nobody used ever.We have recently exchanged the old machine for a lighter, better model almost for free.
But I believe one has to be very careful.Though the machines are very reliable, I don’t think spare parts or even dust-bags are freely available.
