Upright Vacuum Reviews And Best Models

Availability of upright vacuums in these days is excellent.

The market is flooded with all sorts of products from various companies and it becomes quite difficult to decide what you’ll actually need for your home.

Retailers usually don’t encourage demonstrations because of the huge number of models available so the only way to know what you need is to research online or through various catalogues.

There are several reasons why you should consider upright vacuum cleaners.

If you have carpet at home, an upright vacuum, especially a cordless one, is a much better option than the canister model.

Upright vacuums are also less expensive than canister vacs. They are also much easier for storage and can be moved around easily from room to room.

Upright models can have features like dirt sensors, wide cleaning paths and self-propelled motors.

Upright Vacuum Cleaners Popular Models

One of the best upright vacuums today available in the market is the Dyson DC15 "The Ball".

However there are some disadvantages; upright vacuums are often very noisy, are generally not suitable for hard surfaces and it is difficult to access narrow corners with these upright models.

If you have settled on getting an upright model anyway there are a few things you should take note of…

Power

Power of your vacuum cleaner is critical to the cleaning process and it is measured in amps. The normal range is between 3.6 to 12. More power gives you more suction but the price of these vacuum cleaners goes up too.

Bag or Bagless

You should also consider whether you’ll choose a vacuum cleaner which comes with a bag or one that is bagless. Most vacuum cleaners these days are bagless with a cylinder replacing the bag where all the dust and debris is collected. Bagless models have a definite advantage in that you don’t need to replace them (like bags) and they are also much easier to clean.

Filters

Two typical filter types of upright vacuum cleaners are micron filters and HEPA filters. HEPA filters are very efficient but also cost more and it’s up to your needs and budget to decide which type you’ll choose.

Attachments

Most of the companies will provide different attachments for your model although canister vacuums have a much wider range of different attachments than uprights. Also remember to compare the length of the flexible hose of different models.

I've had the Oreck XL2 Ultra vacuum cleaner for several years now and feel that it's an overpriced tool that doesn't do all it's touted to do.
