FAQs

Question 1

How often should you replace a vacuum cleaner?

Accepted Answer

In New Zealand, a vacuum cleaner will usually last around eight years. This depends, to a considerable extent, on how the unit is used and treated. If it’s a high-quality unit, adequately maintained and used correctly there’s no reason why it can’t last 10 years or more.

Question 2

What does wattage mean for a vacuum cleaner?

Accepted Answer

Wattage is a measure of the amount of electricity that the machine consumes. The larger the wattage, the larger the electric motor that drives the unit. It is not a measure of the quality of the vacuum cleaner or how efficient it is.

Question 3

Is a bagless vacuum better than one with a bag?

Accepted Answer

For a bagged vacuum, you will have to buy replacement bags which can be more inconvenient than simply emptying a container. However, bags are a healthier option for people with chest problems as there is less exposure to allergens as the whole bag is thrown out.

Question 4

Can a robot vacuum replace a normal vacuum?

Accepted Answer

Robot vacuum cleaners have many advantages, such as constant cleaning, and their low height means they can creep under furniture. Whether they can completely replace a normal vacuum depends on the size of the house and the type of surface that needs vacuuming. For smaller homes, it is a more realistic prospect but for larger homes with stairs, it may be a complementary choice.
