Just like all technologies, vacuum cleaners keep improving over the years. You can choose from a variety of vacuum bags, different vacuum filters in Ottawa to ensure that your vacuum is working correctly and many accessories for your canister vacuum in Ottawa. If you haven't been shopping for one in a while, or feel the need to upgrade, here are some features and vacuum accessories to look for.
5 innovative features of vacuum cleaners
Retractable Cord
It may seem like a small thing unless you are trying to get through a quick vacuuming and you keep getting tangled in the cord, or just hate flipping it everywhere just to get done, then look into a model with a retractable power cord. It is more common to find them on canister models than uprights, and the longer lengths (30 feet) will be more versatile.
Backpack
Strap-on vacuums are great for apartments or awkward areas like hallways or stairs. Generally, these are found in commercial models, but they might be suitable for you.
Bagless
This has been available for quite some time. Obviously, no bags to buy, great! However, you will still have a filtration system that needs maintenance. The filter may need replacement per the manufacturer's timetable. You will be able to see the amount of dust and dirt accumulated in the bin, but emptying it can be a challenge until you figure out how to prevent a dust cloud from blowing back in your face and the room.
Robotics
They make cats crazy but are a boon to the busy person. They can be programmed to work when you are not around. They can slip under large pieces of furniture and go all around the room methodically based on size and configuration. They won't be able to get deep into the corners and may be a bit pricy if all you want is light vacuuming.
HEPA
If you use a traditional vacuum sweeper, you know that in order to cool the motor, it will exhaust air back into the room. Unfortunately, that means that some dust, pollen, and pet dander also go back into the room. Using a HEPA vacuum filter in Ottawa is one good option. Other systems can include a water filtration system or electrostatic precipitation. Some of the latest ideas include using UV lights to kill microbes.
Cyclonic
Dyson is not the only provider of this tornadic wind that sucks the dirt into a holding tray. Just be sure to research each make and model carefully so that you get what you want.

Which Central Vacuum System Offers the Strongest Suction Power for Allergens?Read more →A portable vacuum recirculates exhaust air in the same room you are cleaning. A central vacuum moves the dirty air through a sealed pipe to a power unit in your garage, basement, or utility room. From there, the air is filtered and either muffled and released in a remote area or vented outdoors. That design offers three allergen-friendly advantages:
- Remote motor and exhaust. Fine particles that escape filtration do not get blown back into the room you are cleaning.
- Larger filtration capacity. Central units have larger canisters, bags, and filters than portable vacuums.
- Stronger, steadier suction. Higher-powered motors can maintain airflow through long hoses and deep carpet.
These advantages only materialize if the system is well specified and maintained, which is where the details below come in.
