Lagos, Nigeria, 22, March, 2018: The demand for household vacuum cleaners has grown over the last few years due to growing awareness about health and cleanliness among the urban population. A vacuum cleaner is more than just a modern machine; it has become a necessity that is a part of every household where health is of the highest importance.
In recent years, vacuum cleaner technology has witnessed some important advancements. There is a growing emphasis on developing next-generation vacuum cleaners that are smart, cordless, and enhance the user experience, making cleaning effortless.
