Ever wondered what those small images on the side of your vacuum box meant? We've all noticed them in passing, those oval-shaped bubbles with words we don't care to investigate. Luckily for you, we're here to tell you exactly what the seal on your vacuum box means. Since 1909, Good Housekeeping magazine has been evaluating and rating apppliances and items in order to guarantee the consumer is receiving the best product possible.
In terms of vacuums, Good Housekeeping looks for durability and a high cleaning performance when stamping their seal of approval. One brand that is consistently approved with the Good Housekeeping Seal is Miele.
