Upright Vacuum cleaners

These have become the most popular type of vacuum cleaner available. They have higher suction power and are also very manoeuvrable. Larger models can be tough to turn and can be heavy to move, this is why some models will have a wand attachment to allow you to get into tight corners.

Canister Vacuum cleaners

It also has a long hose so that you will not need to move the vacuum around as much. The only problem with canister vacuum cleaners is that the hose can get blocked and tough to unblock.

This variety of vacuum cleaners has capitalised on the main annoyance with vacuum cleaners that they can get tangled up or have a cable that is too short. Cordless vacuum cleaners tend to be smaller and less powerful but are convenient for tasks which may be tough to do with a corded vacuum such as cleaning the inside of a car. The only problem is that the batteries will eventually wear out and need replacing.

Robot Vacuum cleaners

The latest addition to the vacuum cleaner world is robotic vacuum cleaners. These little gadgets take all the effort out of vacuuming by doing it by themselves. The first time you run one of these it goes around a room plotting the walls and obstacles so that next time it knows where it can and can’t go. From then on the vacuum can be set to clean up when you want it to without having to worry about it yourself.
