The Challenger…Canister Vacuums – Buying a Vacuum Cleaner Guide – Part 4

Only since a few years ago, upright vacuums were the recommended option for carpet, rugs and bare floors. Both upright and canister vacuums are now trying to bridge the gap. The upright vacuum is coming out with with small hoses and canister vacuums are geared up with mechanized brush accessories. Which one is better?

Where Upright Vacuums Excel

Getting an upright vacuum might be the best choice if your house has mainly surfaces of carpet or rugs, specifically thick ones. The turning brushes of the upright vacuum are much better at removing the dirt from thick rugs than canister vacuums.

Average Housing

For average housing, the cylinder vacuum has a clear advantage over the upright vacuum cleaner. Much more powerful, quiet, and less complicated to deal with, a cylinder vacuum cleans up faster and also with less annoyances.

Bare Floors?

If your home has mainly bare floors (ceramic tiles or wood), a mix of bare flooring as well as of carpet, or if you have a two-story residence, a canister vacuum would certainly be a better financial investment.

Ultimately, it is a matter of personal preference: some individuals are a lot more comfortable pushing an upright in front of them, others favor the ability to move a light weight wand.

  • I can’t recommend Advanced Carpet Care enough. Their work is excellent and the prices are great too. They came with 2 men, which speeds things up. They also moved all my furniture out of the way so they could clean all the carpet. I typically have seen other companies just go around obstacles but these guys actually move stuff so they can be thorough. After they left, the carpets looked like new and smelled fresh.We have been putting off carpet cleaning because of the chemicals, but these guys use GREEN non-toxic solutions and they still leave you with really clean carpets! If they need a little more cleaning power they can use a mild detergent that is still very earth friendly.Lastly, they are a local business, and I prefer giving my money to the smaller service-minded business over a large corporation.

    Gary and his team were wonderful. We had all the carpets cleaned in the house including stairs. He communicated exactly what to expect with their services and what we needed to do to prepare for the cleaning. The day of the cleaning the team was fantastic and professional when arrived. We are extremely pleased with how the carpets turned out. We will be calling him again for any future cleanings. Thank you, Gary.

    We’ve used other carpet cleaning services, but Advanced Carpet Care is, by far, the best! Their 30+ years in business say it all. We had upholstery cleaned, leaving two living room chairs looking like brand new… after 25+ years of everyday use. And our white carpeting was revitalized after 20+ years of foot traffic. We’re extremely pleased with the professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness of Gary Flynn and his team at Advanced Carpet Care… and recommend them to everyone looking for quality, affordable carpet/upholstery cleaning!
