This study focuses on multi-criteria decision-making theory to pick vacuum cleaner available in the Indian market. The choice of a vacuum cleaner for the customer is an intricate decision-making, the problem involving multiple conflicting criteria such as the cost of the vacuum cleaner, dust bag capacity, power consumption, and so on. The simple methodology based on the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method is presented to choose a vacuum cleaner. Based on data collection, eight different companies/brands are considered with 26 diverse models. The ranks of the different alternatives obtained with Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method are presented. The result reveals that the alternative Karcher WD 3.200 comes out to be the first choice, followed by Karcher WD 4.200 and Eureka Forbes Sensi. This approach based upon multi-criteria decision-making is very beneficial for retailer and wholesalers to help consumers/customers for purchasing their product/item or the consumer itself can make use of this simple methodology. The established proof-of-concept could be further used in the different domains of engineering, science, and management, wherein the decision-making could be biased and vague.
