What type of vacuum cleaner is best for my specific flooring type?

It depends on the type of flooring, but we make it easy to select the best vacuum for you. For hard floors, look for models with soft brush rolls or adjustable suction to prevent scratching, while carpets benefit from vacuums with strong suction and beater bars to lift embedded dirt and debris. Consider a versatile vacuum with adjustable settings and attachments to clean all flooring types in your home efficiently.

What's the difference between bagged and bagless vacuums?

The core difference lies in how they collect dirt: <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Vacuum-Cleaners/Bagged/N-5yc1vZbv74Z1z1u522?emt=plpfaq_2505_vacuumcleaners" style="text-decoration: underline;">bagged vacuums</a> use disposable bags to trap debris, offering a generally cleaner disposal process and often better filtration for allergy sufferers since the dirt is fully contained. <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Appliances-Vacuum-Cleaners/Bagless/N-5yc1vZbv74Z1z1u4xv?emt=plpfaq_2505_vacuumcleaners" style="text-decoration: underline;">Bagless vacuums</a> use a dirt cup that you empty, saving you money on bags but potentially releasing some dust back into the air when emptying. However, many models now feature advanced filtration to mitigate this.
