Canister vacuums are easing their way into the mainstream market and compared to an upright vacuum cleaner, canister vacuums weigh less and are easier to move up and down stairs. This design makes them a top choice for consumers looking for something lightweight and portable when it’s time for buying a new vacuum cleaner.
Canister vacuums have a tank that has a long, flexible hose attached to it. The long hose makes them perfect for difficult and out of reach places such as drapes and ceiling corners. Many also include special tools and attachments to reach the nooks and crannies of stairs, which is a common difficulty for home owners. Other special tools may include a parquet floor brush and a brush for upholstery, depending on model and brand.
Canisters are also great for hardwood floors and tile and some even come with adjustable suction settings for different types of flooring. These vacuums are also some of the absolute best to have for allergy sufferers with the availability of Hepa filters for use with canister vacuums.
