Canister Vacuums

Canister Vacuums are great for any cleaning situation. Often more lightweight and versatile than an upright vacuum, canister style machines are recommended for both hardwood floors and heavy wall to wall carpeting. This type of vacuum cleaner is pulled behind you while cleaning. Dirt enters through the power nozzle or floor brush and is suctioned through a hose into the canister. These tank vacuums can come with or without a power nozzle; a power head is suggested for heavy carpeting while the belt-driven brush isn't necessary for hardwood, tile or laminated flooring. Each canister sweeper includes vacuum cleaner parts such as a dusting and upholstery tool, crevice tool and hardwood floor brush to handle all types of cleaning situations.

This type of vacuum cleaner is often very lightweight and powerful. Most canister sweepers will use a 12 amp motor and are available in both bagged and bagless machines. If you're in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, there are many factors that you'll want to consider. You'll want to take the size of your home and type of flooring into account as well as whether or not someone in your home suffers from allergies or asthma. Most Canister Vacuums use HEPA filtration to remove harmful substances from the air. If you have mostly hardwood flooring in your home, an upright vacuum cleaner is not suggested. This is because the agitator brush used on an upright vacuum is too overbearing and may leave scuffs and scratches on your floors. With a canister, the power nozzle that uses the agitator brush can be detached and replaced with a smooth surface tool that will use straight suction to clean your floors.

Canister vacuum cleaners are also very versatile; they can be used with a large spectrum of attachments to tackle any of your cleaning needs. There are many belt-driven stair tools that can be used with these vacuums as well as car nozzles for cleaning your car or even shag-rug rake attachments for more delicate cleaning situations. A pull behind vacuum is great for users of any age. When entering your golden years when a lighter vacuum is preferred, it is often thought that an upright vacuum would be easier to use. However, canisters are actually lighter to pull around than a heavy upright which can be difficult to pull and carry up and down the stairs.
