Why Should You Hang A Dyson Vacuum On The Wall?
There’s a number of reasons to hang your Dyson on the wall.
The main reason people will mount their Dyson vacuum is to save space or to have it somewhere that is convenient for them, but there wasn’t enough space on the floor to keep it there.
There are also a few other reasons, these are:
- Your Dyson won’t keep falling over: If you have the Dyson mounted on the wall, then there’s not much chance of the vacuum falling over, which can start to damage the vacuum if it keeps hitting the hard floor when it falls.
- Keeps the room looking tidy: If you don’t have a designated space for your vacuum to go, mounting it on the wall can make the room look much neater, rather than having the vacuum looking cluttered in the room.
- You’ll remember to keep the battery charged: This is another reason that a lot of people will opt to mount their Dyson vacuum. The charging cable for the vacuum can be integrated with the docking station, meaning when you go to hang your vacuum up for the day, it’ll start charging without you having to worry about plugging it in again. So the next time you go to vacuum, it’ll be fully charged for you.
- Keeps any accessories you have together: If you have any extra accessories for your Dyson vacuum, such as different brushes or heads. These can usually be placed on the docking station, which will keep them all in the same place, lowering the chance of you losing them.
Where Is The Best Place To Hang A Dyson Vacuum?
Before you start mounting your Dyson, you’ll have to decide on a place within your home that will be the most suitable location for it.
- Near an outlet: If you’re wanting to charge your Dyson vacuum whilst it’s mounted on the wall, then you’ll need to make sure that there’s an outlet nearby that the charging cable can be plugged into, the cable should be able to hang loosely, otherwise it can stretch and decrease the lifespan of your cable.
- In a suitable place: You’ll want the vacuum to hang in a suitable place that won’t be at the forefront of your home, think of a laundry room or out of sight in a cupboard. You wouldn’t want it hanging in your living room now, would you?
- At the right height from the ground: You’ll want the Dyson to be mounted at the right height in order for you to be able to reach it easily. There should be around 6-8 inches of space between the bottom of the vacuum and the floor, and the bottom bracket should be around 43 inches to the floor. This will ensure that it remains a comfortable distance from the ground, but also a comfortable distance for you to reach it.
- Not too close to the edge of the wall: You should want to place it in the middle of a wall and not too close to the edge, as this will restrict you being able to put any accessories on the docking station.
You should also keep in mind that the wall will have to bear the weight of the vacuum.
It’ll also need to be drilled into, so ensure the wall isn’t hollow, but solid to allow the screws to be properly put in place.
