If you’ve ever bought a vacuum and wondered if you need all those weird little attachments, you’re not alone. Do they add cleaning power, or just take up space next to your waffle maker? Let’s dive in.

From Crevice Tools to Cat Hair Busters
Brands like Dyson, Electrolux, and Shark love to pack in the attachments: pet brushes, dusting heads, “crevice tools” (for the nooks you pretend don’t exist). When used right, these turbo-charge your suction power and make cleaning oddly satisfying.
Matchmaker: Household Needs vs. Extra Gadgets
More isn’t always better. If your home is mostly hard floors, do you really need the turbo carpet roller? If you’re all about the couch life (no judgment), invest in upholstery tools instead. The Bissell CrossWave line even throws in Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner capability—bonus points!
Attachments & The Weight Debate
More tools = more stuff to lug, so watch out for total weight and portability. Modern cordless vacuums offer quick-swap tools, but too many can clutter your closet and your brain. At least none of them make extra noise.
Moral of the story: Know your home. Pick the attachments you’ll actually use. The rest? Marie Kondo that clutter!
