hi guys Megan Muller 1049 here with a vaccum buying guide so the first thing you want to think about is what type of vacuuming you need to do there are so many models available today that it can be kind of overwhelming the most common type of vacuum today is the upright model prices for upright models can vary a lot but it's usually between 50 and about $700 that means that there are also a lot of different features available typically though the features range from brush attachments or the ability to vacuum on bare floors as well as carpeting canister vacuums are another popular model they're a bit more versatile than the upright because you can pick them up and take them with you wherever you go so if you need to vacuum stairs regularly they're very very useful the only problem is that they average to be about 10 pounds so that might be a little too heavy for some people to carry also prices for those models range between about 60 on up to $900 there's also robot vacuums which are gaining popularity they're usually under 10 pounds and they can cost between 90 up to $600 it won't replace traditional vacuuming but it is a great supplement there's also handheld vacuums which are like the cute little dust busters that you've seen they're really great for cleaning bits of dust or clumps of pet hair or one time spills they're also really lightweight about five pounds and a lot of them are cordless that's great if you want to use at other places like in your car there's also the stick vacuum which is a smaller version of the upright models they're lighter weight and less expensive usually under three hundred and fifty bucks they don't typically come with all of the accessories and features of an upright model but they're really lightweight and they still get the job done so they might be great for a senior citizen the last one we're going to talk about today is the convertible vacuum convertible vacuums offer great value because they're kind of a two-for-one you can get both an upright and a canister or both a stick model and a handheld all-in-one package the shark rotator Pro lift-away vacuum I recently reviewed is a great example of this it's an excellent value it has tons of features and accessories and you can switch between upright and canister mode for all your vacuum buying needs check out our reviews on CNET com I'm Megan wheeler
