HOW TO CHOOSE THE IDEAL VACUUM CLEANER FOR YOUR HOME

A vacuum is an essential cleaning tool for any home. Find one that has the features you need to get the job done right. 

Portable & Practical Cleaning

STICK VACUUMS 

Stick vacuums balance the power of an upright with increased mobility and less overall weight for easier handling. Highly efficient for quick clean-ups but powerful enough for larger jobs, these lightweight, compact vacuums are as dependable on carpets as they are on hard surfaces.

FLEXIBLE CLEANING

For added convenience, most cordless stick vacuums can be converted into handheld vacuums in a matter of seconds, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach areas like stairs, sofas, window coverings and even your car. 

EASY STORAGE

More streamlined than other styles of vacuums, stick vacuums are a smart solution for smaller spaces and are easy to store.

Smart Vacuums

ROBOTIC VACUUMS 

Today’s robotic vacuums have improved technology, which can include room mapping and can adapt their suction depending on the surface they are cleaning. If your home has many objects or “no-go” zones, worry not, as some robotic vacuums employ smart floor mapping technology to navigate around obstacles.

WI-FI CONTROLLED CLEANING

Most robot vacuums are now Wi-Fi enabled, which allows you to schedule cleanings from your mobile app. You can also direct the vacuum to specific areas remotely.

SMART DEVICE COMPATABILITY

Some models can sync up with smart home devices like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. 

Easily Clean Tough Messes

UPRIGHT VACUUMS 

Uprights are usually the most common type of vacuum found in homes. Most uprights have corded power with consistent, powerful suction that helps to loosen and remove embedded dirt from carpet, upholstery and other surfaces.

CANISTER VACUUMS 

Canister vacuums are a versatile solution for jobs that require mobility and power. These vacuums feature a full-size motor inside a compact frame, which makes them particularly useful on stairs. Most models are corded, and you can choose between bagged and bagless options that have a variety of cleaner heads and cleaning tool accessories for specific jobs and surfaces.

HANDHELD VACUUMS

Ideal for cleaning up quick messes because of their cordless convenience and easy maneuverability, handheld vacuums are also perfect for stairs, hard to reach places like upholstery, auto interiors, sofas, and more.

STEAM CLEANERS 

Steam Cleaners produce vapour steam to sanitize all surfaces, eliminating dust mites and preventing mold growth, helping to lift dirt, bacteria, odours and stains, while removing any buildup.

Deep Clean Your Carpets

CARPET CLEANERS & EXTRACTORS 

Carpet Extractors will deep clean surfaces using wet cleaning solutions to remove dirt and allergens while washing fibres, leaving carpets fresh and clean.  Available in Upright models for cleaning larger areas or Portable models for more spot cleaning.
