Canister or Upright Vacuum Cleaner?

Sounds like a simple decision and really it is but you need to make the right decision for you. Let's start off with the canister vacuum and see why some people don't like them.

The Cons:

Canister users tend to complain about dragging the vacuum behind them saying it takes more strength to pull an object than to push as you would with an upright.

Then there are heel accidents when you pull the canister a little to close to your feet. And then there is the corner wall banging and scratches on chair legs from tugging the unit too hard. You will probably end up paying more for the canister vacuum too.

And now the upright:

Due to the upright being all one piece it makes it difficult to get into tight spaces. The attachments do help in this area but this problem is still an inconvenience.

While they don't take up much floor space for storage they do have a tall handle that usually gets in the way of coats and shelves. The biggest complaint has to be the weight and sheer bulkiness of the unite. This makes it terrible to transport, especially up and down the stairs.

So, Which One is The Best Vacuum for You?

Hopefully the information above has helped you with this decision. If it has you can go and try out the different models to see what you are comfortable with or just go ahead and make a decision right now.

Do you have a multi level home? Then you may want to consider the canister or if you are set on an upright vacuum cleaner you may want to try out one of the light weight units. However, you may lose out on power and attachments with this unit.

So, which is it? Do you want to pull a vacuum or push it? Good luck!
