Common buying mistakes

Choosing on suction figures
Listings quote suction and motor numbers that are not comparable between sellers. Attachments, canister size and plug type tell you more.
Forgetting the plug
Corded kits are sold with different plug types. Pick the US plug variant at checkout when shipping to the United States.
Believing 'silent'
'Low noise' and 'ultra quiet' are seller claims without a stated method. If your dog is noise-sensitive, introduce any device gradually.
