Our next appliance buy was to replace our current vacuum cleaner that was losing it's vaccum power and was overheating very fast and there was a lingering burning smell. It has been is use for two years. We did some research and decided that we wanted hard bag vacuum cleaners. Hard bag vacuum cleaners are those that deposit dirt and debris into a container instead of a vacuum bag. These hard bag vacuum cleaners, also called bagless vacuum cleaners, and usually include HEPA (Those with the High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) technology, enable the users to reduce dust which includes allergens filters that more efficiently remove dirt particles) dust, pollen from the air passing through the vacuum cleaner and make a good choice for households with allergy sufferers. This was important to us as we are susceptible to dust allergy.
Another important thing was silent operation, better construction and fit of the wand attachment so that the attachments don't loosen and come off after some time and spill out dust while you are vacuuming. Suction power was important too and we were looking for at least 1600W.
After scouting around, we headed back to our familiar haunt at Mega Discount at Kallang and purchased the Philips Small Star 1800W Vacuum Cleaner. What sealed the deal for us besides it's better suction power was it's small and compact design with large easy to use buttons which you can use your feet to depress without bending down. Also the Small Star featured chrome wand which makes for better fit of the hose and attachments. Importantly, it was bagless and the dust would be gathered into a container that can be removed for easy disposal of the dust collected.The container can be washed and cleaned easily. In addition, the HEPA filter prevents particles and allergens from flowing out with the air backflow passing out from the vacuum during operation. The Small Star also comes with big rubber wheels for easy maneuvering of the vaccum and retractable long power cord.We got a slight discount off the vacuum cleaner's retail price of $140.
