Work out which vacuum your home actually needs by floor type and budget, set it up and test it yourself with a repeatable at-home check, and keep it running with the maintenance log and cost tracker instead of replacing a machine that only needed a filter.
Replaces guessing between machine types with no floor plan behind it, a "test" claim nobody can repeat, and a filter or parts budget nobody tracked until suction was already gone.

Who made this
Built by the TestMyVacuum team, the people behind the free diagnostics, parts finder and complete kits on this site, researched from manufacturer specifications, lithium battery behaviour and the same labelled service conventions used throughout the site's own tools. Researched, not professional appliance repair advice.
30-day money-back guarantee
Use the whole kit. If it doesn't help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked. Refund form.
Questions
How do I get it?
Pay on the secure Stripe checkout and you land straight on your download page: the full PDF, a ZIP of every sheet as its own printable page, and the companion spreadsheet. Bookmark that page to download again later.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need, one to keep near the machine. The logs and the cost tracker are made to be reprinted every time a part is due.
What if it is not what I expected?
Use the whole kit. If it does not help, fill in the refund form within 30 days and you get every dollar back. No questions asked.
Did you test these vacuums yourselves?
No. Nothing on this site, including this kit, is a hands-on product test. The "Your Own At-Home Vacuum Test" sheet is a repeatable check you run on your own machine and your own floors, not a claim about testing we performed. Every other figure in the kit is a published manufacturer specification or a labelled service convention, exactly as everywhere else on this site.
Does this replace the free diagnostics and tools on the site?
No, it works with them. A diagnostic answers one question about one machine and forgets it. The kit keeps your own home's floor plan, your own buying decision, your own test results and your own parts costs together on paper, and points at the online buyer guide for current prices.
Is this specific to one brand of vacuum?
No. Every sheet is built around your own home's floors, your own machine's manual, and your own results, whatever brand you choose. The gear pages name real products from the site's own catalog, but nothing in the kit requires them.
