If you've just purchased and installed an Electrolux Central Vacuum cleaner, you're probably wondering what your next step is. However that question comes with a relatively easy answer. You're going to need the cleaning tools and accessories necessary for everyday cleaning in your home. But how do you know which tools are right for you?

The size of your home, types of floors, and types of furniture in your home are important factors to take into account when installing any central vacuum system. You'll need to first decide whether or not you'll need a power nozzle. If you have a lot of carpeting in your home, a power nozzle is necessary. Determining whether or not you'll be using a power nozzle is crucial in determining which hose is right for you. If you don't need a power nozzle then you'll want to buy a standard central vacuum hose for your Electrolux. This hose will have a switch to turn your unit on and off but will not control a power nozzle or be capable to do so. If you do want a power nozzle then you'll need a hose with the correct amount of power running through it to operate your powerhead. From there you can decide whether you want a standard 30 foot hose or a hose of a longer length.

Once you've decided on a hose, it is time to then pick out which cleaning tools you will need. Some common tools include the crevice tool, rug and floor tool, floor brush, and combination dusting and upholstery tool. Most of these tools are very expensive when sold separately. However, most online retailers offer exclusive accessory packs that include a hose, power nozzle and all of the necessary attachments at one low price. Find a store that offers a deal when deciding which accessories to buy.

Another important thing to think about is how many hoses you may need in your house. At first thought, you may think that you'll need a hose for each floor. But this can get very expensive. Consider your past cleaning patterns. Do you vacuum every floor when you clean the house or just the main floor while vacuuming the up and downstairs every once in a while? If you only vacuum the secondary floors every so often, you can save a lot of money by only purchasing one hose and accessory kit.

In an economy like the one we currently have, it is important to try and save money on the right things. However do not try and save an extra buck by buying generic accessory kits. That is a mistake that is far too common. Generic accessory kits break easily and are poorly made. Reference your owner's manual when deciding which genuine parts to buy for your Electrolux Central Vacuum.
