Upright vacuum cleaners are designed explicitly to clean carpets. They have a spinning brush that separates the dust and family pet fur from the carpet fibers. The dirt is then thrown into a paper bag or compartment. The airflow is extremely fast, compared to a canister vacuum cleaner, and so the vacuum picks up better in most circumstances on carpet.
As shoppers come into our small retail business, The Sweeper Store, the very first thing we ask the prospect is "Do you like upright or canister vacuum cleaners?" since that is the most elementary fundamental starting point when looking for a good quality vacuum cleaner. We are talking about the principal design.
As we talk about canister vacuum cleaners, I mean the ones which have a separate power nozzle that has a second motor. This power nozzle has a revolving brush that separates the dirt from the carpet, in the same way an upright vacuum cleaner does. Canister vacuum cleaners have motors that are made differently than the upright vacuum cleaner motors. Canister vacuums have a motor that creates far more suction than the upright vacuum motor does. But the canister motor pulls the air at a slower speed than the upright motor.
Initially, it would seem that the canister vacuum cleaner posesses more suction, so it must clean better. But the upright vacuum cleaners have faster airflow. And faster airflow is essentially what picks up the dust out of the carpet better. The benefit of the canister vacuum cleaner is that it has so much more suction at the attachments, than an upright vacuum cleaner. So the canister is designed more for above the floor cleaning, and the upright is designed more for carpet vacuuming.
Several of the very best canister vacuum cleaners have well made power nozzles with a high speed motor spinning the brush roll. Certain canister vacuum cleaners with a power nozzle additionally are very easy to push for the reason that the nozzle automatically adjusts to any height of carpet. This type of feature is found on several upper end models.
Canister vacuum cleaners with a power nozzle also cost more than their upright counterparts. The cause is that they plainly cost more to construct. You have two motors instead of one, and the electrified hose that they have is quite pricey to manufacture.
The better value canister vacuum cleaners as well as better upright vacuum cleaners can be found at your local independent vacuum cleaner dealer. Make sure they have a wide selection, to give you the right options. Always buy from a local dealer that can provide service
