Why use an upright vacuum cleaner? Well, there are several reasons and they all depend on what type of cleaning you want to do. Of course, with the newer models they are clearly as adaptable as its cousin the canister vacuum.

The greatest feature about an upright is the convenience of the attachments that are stored on board without having to haul around a hose and canister. Just wheel the upright out of the closet and plug it in and if you're really feelling lazy there are self propelled models available.

Some upright vacuums are also much lighter and easier to manouvere, so this makes for faster clean ups. The dirt bags are much larger which means a savilngs in replacement bags too. Overall, it really is just a personal preference. Make sure it is easy to handle, has all the attachments you think you will need and fits within your budget. Just remember, with vacuum cleaners you do get what you pay for.

Upright vacuum cleaners also save on space; all you need is a little corner for storage. If bending down to change the filter bag is a challenge for you then I would suggest the upright vacuum as the bags are vertical and not tucked away in the bottom of a canister.
