Vacuum Cleaner Acoustics—The Quietest Vacuums
Vacuum cleaners are notoriously noisy. However, great strides have been made in reducing the annoying noise level of vacuuming cleaners. Some of the quietest vacuum cleaners also pack impressive cleaning power, making them the very best of both worlds.
Dyson has made great advances in lowering the noise level of their vacuums. The Dyson Animal is one of the best bagless vacuums in terms of suction power and effective cleaning, while also being quieter than many other bagless brands and models. The Dyson DC07 has been reviewed by many as one of the quietest vacuum cleaners around, even receiving a ‘whisper quiet’ rating from one source. Dyson vacuums cost around four hundred dollars and up, depending on the model.
For a quiet bagless vacuum at a lower cost, the Hoover EmPower is a great choice. The highest rated budget bagless vacuum by Consumer Reports, the Hoover EmPower is quiet in general, but also offers a feature called ‘Hush Mode.’ When in Hush Mode (accomplished with the flip of a switch), the EmPower is almost noiseless. Costing around one hundred dollars, it is a very good deal.
For those who want hands-free convenience in a quiet vacuum, the iRobot Roomba Red vacuum is the best of both worlds. While it might not totally eliminate vacuuming, this little robotic vacuum leaves its owner free to do other things while it takes care of that pesky vacuuming chore. And it is quiet enough that its owner can watch television or read a book while it works.
