1. Canister Vacuums Are Designed to Accept More Powerful Motors
One of the primary factors that differentiate a good vacuum cleaner from a not-so-good one is the power of the motor. For the unit to thoroughly clean your floors, carpets, rugs and upholstery, adequate suction power is needed. Otherwise, dust, debris, and pet hair will remain deeply embedded into the fibers.
-Due to their rugged design, canister vacuum cleaners can (and will) successfully accept larger more powerful motors, delivering superior suction power that will quickly get you rid of dirt, debris, and even stubborn pet hairs.
A vacuum cleaner with a good cleaning ability allows you to get the job done and with significantly less effort on your part.
2. Canister Vacuums Are Better Sealed
It’s dreadful to learn your upright vacuum against the wall and notice dust and debris from the canister leaking. In addition to making your home messier, this also puts your health and well-being at a risk.
Most of the time, the dust, and debris collected by your vacuum cleaner contain allergens and pollutants, which can cause allergic reactions and breathing difficulties if inhaled.
This is not the case of canister vacuum cleaners, which are better sealed to prevent such leaks and their undesirable results.
-What’s more, canister vacuums are usually geared up with HEPA filters, which help filter out dust, allergens, and pollutants, so you won’t be out-gassing them back into your indoor environment while you’re vacuuming.
3. Canister Vacuums Have Flexible Hoses
If you have ever owned an upright vacuum cleaner, then you most definitely know how just difficult and even painful it can be to clean hard-to-reach areas such as under the furniture.
If the body of the vacuum is not flexible, your only option is moving the furniture around, something that can have many undesirable consequences.
First, if there is no carpet or rug on the floor, you risk scratching it – and you certainly can’t afford to replace everything, right? Second, if you’re not in good shape, you may easily develop a hernia, a condition that requires surgery and can be extremely risky.
Third, moving furniture can be daunting if it’s particularly heavy. Unless you have a second pair of hands to help you out, you will have to resign and vacuum only those areas you can reach.
Fortunately, canister vacuum cleaners are geared up with flexible hoses that are thin and can reach anywhere. You can get under the furniture, in tiny creeks, on staircases and just near the walls. Even better, these vacuum cleaners have an extendable telescopic handle that won’t require you to bend while doing so!
