Choosing a Vacuum Cleaner for Carpet and Floors

You'll require a vacuum that can handle carpets in your home. Choose one with strong suction and a roll that can be turned off to protect your rugs from damage.

Think about other features, too include an easy-to-empty dust container to empty, and noise levels and energy usage that match your needs.

Upright

Upright vacuum cleaners are the most popular kind of household vacuum. They are smaller than canister models, and more robust than stick or handheld vacuums. They also come with a floorhead powered by electricity that can be used to cover large areas like the hallway or a room.

These uprights are great for wall-towall carpeting. They're also great for cleaning stairs and hard floors. They usually come with a button that turns on the rotating brush to deep clean carpets, but they can be equipped with different heads for hard floors and stairs, or for other specific tasks, such as parquet floors.
