Those of us living in apartments, condos, micro-homes, and other small abodes understand how limited storage options can be. Because of limited storage space, some apartment- and condo-dwellers choose to forgo vacuuming entirely. If this sounds familiar, we urge you to reconsider. Vacuum cleaners aren't just necessary for cleaning floors and furniture: they're also great for removing dust, pollen, animal dander, and other irritating particles from your indoor air. If you're an asthma and allergy sufferer, bringing a vacuum cleaner into your small space can be especially beneficial.
Luckily, we offer a great selection of powerful, cityscape vacuum cleaners that won't take up too much of your precious closet space. Whether you're a fan of uprights, canisters, or stick vacuum cleaners, we are confident that we have the perfect model for you.
Canister Vacuum Cleaners
For those in search of a long-lasting, meticulously-engineered vacuum, consider a Miele canister. Vacuums in Miele's C2 series are compact, lightweight, and fully-sealed. With the Miele Quartz, Onyx, or Topaz at your disposal, you'll be privy to Miele's unrivaled allergen filtration and suction power. All of these vacuums offer automatic cord rewind, lightweight and compact construction, and cleaning wands that attach to the canister for compact storage. A slightly smaller yet powerful canister, the Electrolux EL4103, features a canister bungee that keeps the hose neatly wrapped around the canister while in storage.
The Eureka Mighty Mite will feel especially at home in places with limited storage space. Its canister is only 16.5 inches wide and weighs just 11.7 pounds. It is so compact and lightweight that you'll be able to lift it in and out of cramped closets with ease, but its powerful 12 amp motor is capable of cleaning even the tougest messes from bare floors and low pile carpeting. It can also be used as a blower.
Upright Vacuum Cleaners
Most upright vacuum cleaners only take up a small amount of floor space. This Dyson Ball Multifloor upright is only 13.4 inches at its widest part (its brushroll), and stores compactly in even the tightest closets. Its ball technology grants you easy maneuverability around furniture, into corners, and under tables--that's especially handy for small kitchens and living rooms. Its motorized cleaner head self-adjusts for easy transitioning between carpets and bare floors. Plus, having a bagless vacuum cleaner at your means that you won't need to devote even more storage space to replacement bags, nor will you ever have to skip your cleaning duties because you've run out of dustbags.
Stick Vacuum Cleaners
While we usually recommend these models as supplemental vacuums for quick pickups around the house, a stick vacuum can be a perfect primary vacuum cleaner for apartments, condos, and micro-homes with bare floors. This Electrolux Ergorapido Lithium Ion Plus Xtra EL2081A is one of our favorite stick vacuums from Electrolux. Its powerful lithium battery allows up to 30 minutes of run time on a single charge, so you'll be able to clean all over your space without being tethered to a power outlet or having to stop to recharge. For easy cleaning of drapes, upholstery, countertops, and even car interiors, its suction unit detaches and for use as a hand vacuum. This model also features a self-cleaning brushroll. Simply press down a switch on the EL2081A's nozzle, and all of the thread, hair, and other brushroll-tangling debris will be clipped off and sucked into the dust cup.If you're more of a Dyson fan, check out the Dyson V6 Motorhead. Its direct-drive cleaner head provides up to75% more power than the standard Dyson stick vacuum cleaner, and innovative brushroll effectively dredges dirt from the depths of low-pile carpeting while gently cleaning the surfaces of bare floors. For easy storage, it comes with a docking station and features onboard tool storage.
