Which Is Best for You – An Upright or Canister Vacuum?
Upright and canister vacuums are the two most popular types of cleaners for residential use. Deciding between the two depends on the benefits that fit your needs, and the brand you prefer. In this article, we will explore each of these two models offered by SEBO.
Upright Vacuum Cleaners
The most common type of vacuum is upright. Your family has probably used them for generations and purchased them from retail stores. New models have advanced features that make them more attractive to homeowners. They are great investments for the home and office. Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of this type of vacuum.
Pros of SEBO Uprights
- The user stands upright when using this type of vacuum, as opposed to bending over with a canister vacuum cleaner
- They are more comfortable to use and put less strain on your arms, shoulders, and back.
- Uprights are easier to push around because there are no long hoses.
- There is no need to change the cleaning head when moving from carpets to hard floors.
- Some models have sensors that automatically change cleaning heads.
- Uprights are known for their versatility with many tools and accessories.
- On/off switches are conveniently located on the handles or the lower part of the machine for foot operation.
- Today’s upright models are more powerful than in our parents’ days, and they also have better filtration systems to help keep your home’s air cleaner.
In addition to the listed pros, uprights have even more to offer. They are becoming more compact, lighter weight, and easier to use. Many have auto wind cords that save time and energy, and the compact varieties take up less space in your closet. New brands and models are more efficient and affordable.
Upright Cons
Upright vacuums are noisier than canister vacuums.
Cheaper upright models don’t clean as well as other types of vacuums.
Emptying the bag may be messier than a canister vac.
Canister Vacuums
Canister vacuums have been the main rival of uprights for many years. They operate with a canister unit that houses the motor and suction system. The canister is connected to the wand with a hose and must be pushed along the floor by hand or foot. Although not as well known as uprights, canister vacuums are powerful cleaners.
SEBO Canister Pros
- They are compact, stylish, and powerful.
- The available attachments make it easy to clean under furniture.
- Canister models are simple to use on upholstery, curtains, blinds, and stairs.
- They clean all floor surfaces including carpets, tile, hardwood, and laminate floors.
- Canister vacuums are quieter than upright models.
- Dumping out the full bag is effortless. Some models of canisters are bagless.
- They can carry many tools and accessories onboard.
Canister Cons
- Canister vacuums are slightly heavier than upright models.
- They take up more storage space.
- They are more expensive than uprights.
