If you get an upright vacuum cleaner, you’ll notice that the entire device is an all-in-one vacuum, where the handle, the motor and the dirt container are all in the same place. While vacuuming, you’ll be pretty much pushing and pulling the entire installation from one place to the other, which can be slightly more difficult, but it also means the vacuum has a more compact form and that you won’t be limited by a static, heavy vacuum that you have to pull around because of a short hose.
A canister vacuum separates the power head, the motor and the canister (dirt container) to create a more segmented device. On the one hand, the head can be moved around more easily, and you’ll be able to fit it into every little crevice. On the other hand, mobility is somewhat impaired, and you’ll find it harder to haul the heavier canister and motor around.
Both of these types of vacuum cleaners have their own unique
advantages. Upright vacuums are easier to unload, clean and move around, and
their noise level and weight will almost always be lower. Canister vacuums
generally feature a more powerful system and better suction, which can be used
efficiently for deep cleaning. Also, the tool options are quite extensive, so
you can literally use them for any type of cleaning application. Stop by the Broomfield Vacuum Center to see the selection of upright and canister vacuums before deciding which vacuum will work best for you.
