Here are some of the top things to look for when choosing a floor cleaner:

1. Type of Floor: Different types of flooring require different cleaning methods, so it’s important to choose a cleaner that is specifically designed for the type of flooring you have. For example - a floor cleaner that is safe for hardwood may not be suitable for use on tile or laminate.

2. Size of Floor to be Cleaned: Take a look at the area to be cleaned. For example – if you have a small area, then you may need a smaller-sized vacuum cleaner, whereas, for larger floor areas, you may require a powerful and larger-sized vacuum cleaner.

3. Cleaning Efficiency: If you have a larger floor area to clean, you may need a cleaner with a higher cleaning efficiency to ensure that the job is done quickly and effectively. This may require a more powerful motor or a larger cleaning head.

4. Powerful Motor and Suction: A more powerful motor and stronger suction will allow the cleaner to pick up dirt and debris more effectively. This is particularly important for carpets or rugs that require deep cleaning

5. Filtration System: A good filtration system is important if you or anyone in your household suffers from allergies or asthma. So, it’s better to look for a cleaner with a HEPA filter that can trap even the smallest particle.

6. Tank Capacity: The size of the tank will determine how often you need to stop and refill the cleaner. Consider the size of the area you need to clean and how frequently you plan to use the cleaner to determine the appropriate tank capacity.

7. Accessories and Attachments: Look for a cleaner with a variety of attachments and accessories to make cleaning different surfaces and hard-to-reach areas easier.

8. Noise Level: This is another important factor to consider while choosing a floor cleaner. Particularly, when you have pets or young children at home. A quieter cleaner can be less disruptive to your daily routine and make cleaning easier when others are around. It's also important to consider your sensitivity to noise, as a loud cleaner may be unpleasant to use for extended periods.

9. Budget: Consider the price of the cleaner and your budget. Then, you will be able to find an effective cleaner at a lower price, but make sure it meets your requirements as well.
