Types of Vacuum Cleaners

Electrolux UltraOne Deluxe EL7085ADX
Canister Vacuum Cleaners
Canister vacuum cleaners are popular for good reason. These types of vacuum cleaners are versatile, powerful, and can accomodate a range of different attachments. Canister vacuum cleaners are often recommended for homes with hardwood or other bare flooring, but several newer models have power heads to deep-clean carpeting as well. They are typically light in weight, and are easy to use. When cleaning with a canister, all you need to do is push the power nozzle around where you want to clean while the canister sits on the floor behind you. Pictured here is the Electrolux UltraOne Deluxe 7085ADX canister vacuum cleaner.


SEBO Automatic X4 vacuum cleaner
Upright Vacuum Cleaners
Upright vacuum cleaners may be heavier than their canister counterparts, but they typically offer variable height settings alongside powerful suction capabilities. Upright vacuum cleaners are easy to recommend for cleaning carpeted homes, but some newer upright models are designed especially for hardwood or other bare floor types. These vacuum cleaners are compact and easy to store, and some offer cleaning hoses and attachments for added versatility. Pictured here is the SEBO X4 Automatic upright vacuum cleaner, one of the most popular vacuum cleaners available from SEBO.


NuTone PurePower PP600 suction unit
Central Vacuum Cleaners
Central vacuum power units are typically placed in an inconspicuous part of the home, such as a basement or garage, and provide suction power via hose outlets that are placed throughout the home. To use a central vacuum, simply plug a hose into an installed hose outlet. The debris you pick up will be transported straight into the suction unit, where it will stay until the dustbag or dustcup is emptied. With central vacuum cleaners, there are no suction units to lug throughout the hose when you're ready to vacuum. Simply plug in a hose, and you're ready to clean. Pictured here is the NuTone PurePower PP600 central vacuum suction unit.


Electrolux Ergorapido EL2040A
Stick Vacuum Cleaners
Stick vacuum cleaners are lightweight and portable models that are ideal for quick cleanups. These vacuum cleaners make ideal choices for apartments, condos, and other small dwellings where storage space may be limited. For larger home, stick vacuum cleaners are great secondary cleaners for times when hauling out the full-sized vacuum seems unnecessary. They are easy to store, and are frequently battery-powered. Pictured here is the Electrolux Ergo Rapido Power Ion EL2040A stick vacuum cleaner.


Bissell Big Green BGUPRO18T
Commercial Vacuum Cleaners
Commercial vacuum cleaners are typically used by professional cleaners to vacuum offices, schools, hotels, restaurants, and other public spaces. They are more durable than residential cleaners, and are typically designed to provide maximum suction power and great cleaning efficiency. Pictured here is the Bissell Big Green BGUPRO18T commercial vacuum cleaner.


Dyson V6 Motorhead cordless vacuum cleaner
Cordless Vacuum Cleaners
Cordless vacuum cleaners, as the name implies, allow you the freedom to vacuum wherever messes appear without the need for a power outlet. These types of vacuum cleaners are battery powered and charge in between cleanings to provide the longest battery life possible. These lightweight vacuum cleaners are best recommended for cleaning bare floors, but some have adjustable brushrolls for cleaning low-pile carpeting. Pictured here is the Dyson V6 Motorhead cordless vacuum cleaner.


Dyson Big Ball Animal Upright vacuum cleaner
Bagless Vacuum Cleaners
Bagless vacuum cleaners provide the same great cleaning power as their bagged counterparts, but there are no expensive bags to buy, change, or dispose of. Instead, bagless vacuum cleaners utilizes cyclonic technology to funnel debris into a dustcup, where it is trapped until the dustcup is emptied. Cost of ownership may be lower with a bagless vacuum cleaner, but these require additional filter cleaning to maintain their longevity. Nonetheless, if you do not wish to spend money on dustbags, bagless vacuum cleaners are a popular alternative. Pictured here is the Dyson Big Ball Animal upright vacuum cleaner.


Bissell BG1001 backpack vacuum cleaner
Backpack Vacuum Cleaners
Backpack vacuum cleaners are most frequently used in commercial cleaning operations, but these portable vacuums can also be used in residential settings. Backpack vacuum cleaners are typically lightweight and portable, and can be carried about to make easy work of above-the-floor cleaning. These vacuum cleaners are easy to store and can be brought out for quick cleanups in between regular vacuuming sessions. Pictured here is the Bissell 10 Quart backpack vacuum cleaner.
