Upright or cylinder vacuum cleaners

Traditionally, a cylinder vacuum relays on suction. This is clearly still the case, but a few cylinder cleaners have incorporated a suction head which includes a brush. Cylinder vacuums are lighter and smaller than there upright counterparts. So you can store them, and carry them around with ease. Ideal for small apartment, with no wide expanses of carpet. They are ideal for intricate small spaces, such as stairs and upholstery, but require more effort to push and vacuum large rooms. They are also superior at cleaning wooden or tiled floors because they use a suction system.A beater bar upright vacuum makes hard work of this task.

They are more difficult to use in intricate surrounding, and do not clean corner and edges as well as cylinder vacuum's. But, with the latest add-on hoses, and crevice nozzles they are improving in this respect.
