Any household with a furry friend can understand how important it is to have a vacuum cleaner that can keep up with messes and pet hair that comes with the territory. While many standard vacuum cleaners can do an adequate job of keeping your house clean, consider adding a pet vacuum to your home!
Pet vacuum cleaners provide functions and features that work extra hard to ensure a tidy home for any pet owner. Pet vacuums stand up to long-term, frequent use that is essential for cleaning a home with a pet. With a pet vacuum cleaner in your home, you’re set up to keep it in tip-top shape and looking its best!
Pet Vacuums vs. Standard Vacuums: What’s the Difference?
While standard vacuums and pet vacuum cleaners generally look the same, what is included inside the machine makes a big difference. Let’s look at some of the ways the two differ, and why a pet vacuum is a must-have for pet owners.
A pet vacuum typically has more suction power than a standard vacuum cleaner. Suction power is generally provided by the manufacturer, and is given in terms of amperage or air watts. The maximum amount of amperage allowed is 12 amps, and the desired air wattage to look for in a pet vacuum is at least 200 air watts. Other technologies, like built-in filter cleaners, help improve suction even further.
Filtration is also essential when it comes to finding the right pet vacuum. A good filter catches all the unwanted and nasty particles that come with the territory of owning a pet: dander, allergens, and others. Pet vacuums are usually found complete with high-efficiency allergen filters. Be sure to look for vacuums that include a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter. Filters meeting the HEPA standard must satisfy certain levels of efficiency. U.S. standards require that a HEPA air filter must remove, from the air that passes through it, at least 99.97% of particles.
Other features to look for include brush rolls designed for use on both carpet and hard surfaces, included accessories that help remove pet hair from hard-to-reach spaces, and other technologies that improve suction, freshen the air, and even reduce pet odors.
