A canister vacuum is used for cleaning hard surfaces and carpets. It consists of a body housing a motor and a dust bag or filtration system that collects the dust, dirt, and allergens. Vacuum power sucks in dust through its cleaning nozzle and a hose connected to the dust bag or filter. It is available in bagged, bagless, and lightweight models.
A bagged canister vacuum has a built-in dust bag for collecting vacuumed dust and dirt. Its power nozzle can clean both carpeted and hardwood surfaces. Its cleaning path can reach 15 inches.
Bagless canister vacuum
A bagless canister vacuum does not have a built-in dust bag collector. Instead, it uses HEPA filters to help reduce the allergens in the air. Its features include a foot-pedal rewinder, hand tools, and fingertip controls.
Lightweight canister vacuum
A lightweight canister vacuum weighs 12 pounds or less, almost 10 pounds lighter than the average canister vacuum.
Its features include a bag change indicator, a tool storage compartment, and an auto cord rewinder.
HEPA filters: For those suffering from allergic rhinitis, choose a canister vacuum with built-in HEPA filters that help clean atmospheric air and rid it of allergens. Steel wand: Choose a canister vacuum with a steel wand instead of plastic, as it is virtually indestructible and resistant to heat damage. Look for a telescopic steel wand for easy length adjustment. Swivel hose: Choose a canister vacuum with a swivel hose that allows you to maneuver around wall corners and underneath beds and sofas without bending.
