Vacuums: Is An Upright Or Canister The Better Selection For Your Home?

Upright vacuum cleaners are designed specifically to vacuum carpets. They use a turning brush that separates the dust and dog and cat hair from the carpet fibers. The dirt and pet hair is then thrown into a paper bag or compartment. The airflow is very fast, as opposed to a canister style vacuum cleaner, and so the vacuum cleaner picks up better in most instances on carpet.
As pet owners come into our retail business, The Sweeper Store, the first thing we ask them is "Would you like an upright or canister vacuums?" because that is the most essential primary place to begin when searching for a good vacuum cleaner. We are talking about the basic design type.
When we talk about canister vacuums, I mean the ones that use a separate power nozzle that uses a second motor. This power nozzle has a revolving brush that separates the dirt from the carpet, in the same way an upright vacuum cleaner does. canister style vacuum cleaners use motors that are made differently than the upright vacuum motors. canister vacuums have a motor that produces far more suction than the upright vacuum cleaner motor does. But the canister style motor pulls the air at a slower speed than the upright motor.
In the beginning, it would seem that the canister style vacuum has more suction, so it must clean better. But the uprights have quicker airflow. And quicker airflow is really what vacuums up the filth out of the carpet fibers better. The real advantage of the canister style vacuum cleaner is that it has far more suction on the attachments, than an upright does. So the canister style is made more for above the floor sweeping, and the upright is designed more for carpet vacuuming.
Several of the very finest canister vacuum cleaners have very well made power nozzles with a high speed motor rotating the brush roll. Some canister vacuums with a power nozzle also are very comfortable to push because the nozzle automatically adjusts to any height of carpet. This characteristic is found on many higher end machines.
Canister style Vacuums with a power nozzle also cost more than their upright vacuum cleaner counterparts. The explanation is that they just cost more to make. You have two motors instead of one, and the electrified hose that they have is quite expensive to manufacture.
The better quality canister style vacuums as well as better upright vacuum cleaners can be found at your local independent vacuum cleaner dealer. Make sure they offer a wide selection, to give you the best choices. We're in Wooster Ohio, but you can find thousands of good dealers across the country.
I hope this helps you.
