Today’s upright vacuum is not your grandmother’s machine! Equipped with state of the art attachments and technology, vacuuming can be an enjoyable household chore. Depending on your vacuum budget, the job can be a silent and nearly weightless experience.
Upright Vacuum Options
Upright Vacuums come in all colors, weights, sizes and with a myriad of attachments. Attachments included with the upright purchase generally assist in cleaning under the couch cushions, in crevices on stairs, and in deep corners. The upright is designed for greater suction and therefore is the first choice people make with carpeted floors.

Deciding on an upright model involves choosing between the bag or bag less, the HEPA filtration system, disposable or reusable filters. Bag less vacuums eliminate the need to change or purchase bags; however, they also have the added issue of dust when emptying the canister. If allergies are a problem, choosing an upright with a bag and a HEPA filter is generally recommended. Reusable filters eliminate additional purchases by simply cleaning the filter and then placing it back into the vacuum.
Attachment assortments make choosing an upright even more attractive. The standard upright model comes equipped with changeable nozzles and brushes for getting to hard to reach places. Which attachments are best for maximum effectiveness to the customer; make the choice of type and brand of upright even clearer. If pets enter the mix, specialized brushes for picking up hair are an option.
So, whether choosing between an upright or a canister, the options and variety have become extensive and can easily be determined by assessing personal needs first.
The market is varied and ever changing to fit the needs of the latest vacuum consumer.
