Of the top rated vacuum cleaners, there is one that only requires the operator to turn it on and nothing more. This is the iRobot Roomba 510. This is a small, disc-shaped robotic vacuum cleaner. Unlike all the other vacuum available on the market, you do not have to push this one around. The cost is approximately 0. It does roam around the floor and continuously cleans until you turn it off or when the battery runs out. The iRobot 560 does the same thing but is programmable to return to its charging station when the power is almost depleted.
The best overall vacuum, despite its price of over 00, is the Miele Capricorn S5981 Luna Canister Vacuum. The controls for this unit are on the handle and not on the canister, which makes it more convenient to use. This unit does a great job on both hardwood floors and carpeting. It has the suction power created by a 1200 watt motor that can pull 141 CFM through itself. The suction power level can be controlled to six different levels when desired. This unit does have a bag which has a capacity of 4.76 quarts. When this unit is approaching capacity there is an indicator light that goes off. Its radius of use is a full 33 feet.
For a lower priced model but still a good performer, there is the Eureka Airextreme 6500A Canister Vacuum. It has a HEPA filter and the suction is powered by a 12 amp motor. It has a 2 quart bag and is also equipped with an indicator light when full. The controls for the suction power and the on/off switch are on the handle for easy control. The overall weight of this unit is 11 lbs and the best thing is the price at 0.
These are the top rated vacuum cleaners that will help you keep your home clean.
