Power and efficiency

In developing the expensive models, manufacturers try to use the highest quality components.

Powerful electric motor, high-capacity battery, reasonable aerodynamics of internal parts – the level of technology of the best vertical vacuum cleaners reminds something of Formula 1 race cars.

These upright vacuums not only pick up dust more effectively, but also try to minimize losses by making sure that the smallest particles of dust stay inside and don’t return to the air in the room. For this purpose they are equipped with high-quality fine filters and HEPA-filters. This is important because it avoids allergic reactions when cleaning for sensitive people.

Availability of convenient features and unusual design solutions

One more reason to buy a more expensive vacuum cleaner is that these models have additional features. For example, one of the models in our review has an automatic brush cleaning function. As a result of such a technical solution there is no need to manually remove the winding hair, pet hair, threads, etc.d. It is worth noting that such “bonuses”, which increase the comfort of operation, are not uncommon.

Vacuum cleaners of this price segment are often equipped with additional attachments designed for wet floor cleaning.

      Yes, splurging on a pricier vertical vacuum cleaner can be worth it in the long run. Higher-priced models often come with better suction power, advanced filtration systems, longer cord lengths, and more durable construction. These features can lead to improved performance, better cleaning results, and longer lifespan for the vacuum cleaner. However, it is essential to research and read reviews to ensure you are investing in a quality product that meets your specific needs. It’s always a good idea to consider factors such as the size of your home, types of flooring, and any special requirements you may have before making a decision. Ultimately, investing in a pricier model can pay off in terms of performance and longevity if chosen wisely.
