Fight the Dirt, not the Machine
The need for lightweight vacuum cleaners often arises as a result of health issues or lifestyle choices. We may be recovering from an illness or simply losing strength as the aging process continues. On the other hand, we may be so busy that taking the time to push a heavy floor model around may not be a wise use of our time.
Lightweight vacuum cleaners are lighter, not because they are less powerful, but because they come with fewer additions and extra features. They clean just as well, just without the extra items you may never use, anyway.
You likely won’t have a self-propelled motor with a lighter weight cleaner, but the lesser weight will make the pushing much less difficult. Some of the lightweight cleaners can also be placed on your back, giving excellent manueverability and freedom to move about the house.
Before spending much more money on a heavier, harder to manuever model, you need to think through exactly what your needs are.
