Of course, this isn’t a short answer. It depends a bit on what surfaces you are wanting to vacuum. And more specifically, whether you want to vacuum only one surface type or many different types. It will also come down to whether you want a corded vacuum, bagged upright vacuum, stick vacuum, backpack vacuum etc. This is why there is no one best vacuum. And it’s why I started my blog of vacuum reviews.
If I had a dollar for every time someone reached out to me with this question! Unclogging the hose is one of the first places to look if your vacuum has lost suction. It’s the quickest and easiest way to fix your vacuum so it’s definitely the best place to start. Here’s a guide on how to unclog your vacuum. There’s a video in there too.

Unless you already have a specific commercially produced solution for your carpet variety (that’s the important part!), then I’d almost always go to baking soda paste to fight stains. It’s pretty easy to whip up and most people have this on hand at home (win, win!). This article about removing tumeric stains could apply to almost any stain at home.
This is certainly a common question. Most families don’t own a carpet washer, but rather a vacuum cleaner. While the vacuum cleaner is great for sucking up debris, dust and dirt from your floors, it should be considered more of a superficial clean rather than a deep clean.

Most people think a carpet cleaner is too much effort, but really they are surprisingly easy and affordable – and the results are undeniably better than just whipping around with a vacuum cleaner.
