How We Test Vacuum Cleaners
At Glob Vacs, our commitment is to provide accurate, relevant, and reliable information about vacuum cleaners from around the world. The core of this commitment is our rigorous testing process. Here’s a detailed insight into how we ensure every vacuum cleaner recommendation on our platform stands up to our high standards:
Initial Assessment
Every vacuum cleaner undergoes a preliminary examination where we assess build quality, design, and manufacturer specifications. This sets the stage for more in-depth testing.
Suction Power
Using standardized debris, which includes particles of various sizes such as dust, pet hair, and larger debris, we test the vacuum’s ability to clean both hard floors and carpets. We measure how many passes it takes for a thorough cleanup and any variations in suction power.
Noise Level
Using a calibrated decibel meter, we measure the noise produced by the vacuum at different power settings. We know a quieter operation can make all the difference, especially in households with pets or kids.
Battery and Power
For cordless models, we check how long the battery lasts on a full charge and how this aligns with the manufacturer’s claims. For corded models, we assess the power consumption and efficiency.
Maneuverability and Ergonomics
Vacuums are taken through a real-world home environment. We navigate through tight spaces, around furniture, and over various floor types to assess their agility. We also evaluate the comfort of grip, weight distribution, and ease of movement.
Filtration Efficiency
A crucial test for allergy sufferers! We assess how effectively the vacuum captures and contains small particles, ensuring they aren’t released back into the air.
User-Friendly Features
From the ease of emptying the dustbin to the intuitiveness of control buttons, we gauge how user-friendly each vacuum cleaner is.
Durability Test
Though this is a long-term factor, we simulate extended usage and wear through repeated tests and assess components for any signs of premature wear or potential points of failure.
Customer Reviews and Feedback
While our tests are comprehensive, real-world user feedback provides invaluable insights. We incorporate feedback from our community and other verified users to give a holistic view of each vacuum’s performance.
Final Words
Our goal at is to provide you with trusted and detailed reviews, ensuring you make informed decisions. We pride ourselves on transparency and integrity in all our testing processes. When you choose based on our recommendations, rest assured, you’re choosing the best.
