Regular vacuuming is essential for maintaining clean air and eliminating odors in your home. It removes dust, pet dander, and other allergens from floors and upholstery, which can otherwise circulate in the air and contribute to respiratory problems. Vacuuming also helps to pick up food particles and other organic matter that can decompose and produce unpleasant smells. By using a vacuum with a HEPA filter, you can ensure that even the smallest particles are captured, further improving the air quality. Additionally, regular vacuuming can prevent the buildup of dirt and debris that can harbor pests or lead to mold growth, both of which can cause odors and negatively impact air quality. Therefore, incorporating vacuuming into your regular cleaning routine is a simple yet effective way to keep your living space fresh and hygienic.

TOP Recommendation: This is our top pick for best vacuums under $200. The Smartvac 11 is light weight , extremely versatile and as powerful if not more so than most vacuums out there. In some cases we would see it being battery operated as a downfall because of the reduced cleaning time. But this units battery gives the time needed for most to do a thorough cleaning. One of the best parts , you can have backup batteries ready to go with this unit which basically does away with the down side of having a battery powered vacuum. Our top pick for a GREAT vacuum on a budget.
