A broadhead will cover more surface area in a single glass pass. An increased width comes with an increased drag.Full vacuums are hard to push and will require a lot of work, but they clean quickly. Some broad vacuum heads have larger ports or multiple ports for greater suction. Small vacuum heads cover a small area and will require less dragging. You should determine your level of physical ability when deciding on which width to choose. If you have a limited storage space, you can consider brands with the smaller width.Vacuum heads contains many wheels on the underside. Higher end vacuum heads include wheels with ball bearings for smooth movements. The rolling motion of the ball bearings reduces friction and allows the wheels to slide more smoothly. This makes it easier to push the vacuum. If you decide to go for the large vacuum heads, you should ensure that the wheels have these bearings which help in dragging.
This is because the bearings contribute to reducing friction and bear weight thus there is less strain on the wheels.It is necessary to consider the design of the vacuum head you are looking for.
