Ensure the vacuum cleaner has an operating radius long enough to cover the areas you need to clean without constantly changing outlets.
A long operating radius will typically be the best choice for large households, but this will also mean that the vacuum cleaner is larger and heavier.
If you are looking for a model with a long operating radius, consider one of the following models, which are the 5 with the longest operating radius:
Vacuum cleaner | Operating radius | |
---|---|---|
Henry Pet PET 200-11
|
|
26.4 m |
Henry Xtra HVX 200-11
|
|
26.0 m |
Henry Compact HVR 160-11
|
|
25.7 m |
Bosch BGB75X494
|
|
15.0 m |
Siemens VSQ5X1230
|
|
13.0 m |
The operating radius across the bagged vacuum cleaners ranges from 7 to 26 meters. The following chart shows how the operating radius is distributed:
Choosing a vacuum cleaner with a large bag capacity has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you don’t have to replace the bag as often, and the disadvantage is that the vacuum cleaner is more extensive and heavier.
Whether you should choose a vacuum cleaner with a large or small capacity depends on your needs and the size of your household. For a large household, a vacuum cleaner with a large capacity will typically be the best choice.
The following chart shows how the bag capacity is distributed across the bagged vacuum cleaners:

Identify the cleaning you’ll be doing. Are you primarily cleaning carpets, hard floors, or both? Do you have pets that shed?
