Know These Seven Advantages of a Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

For cordless or upright models, cylinder vacuum cleaners are often overlooked. This is a shame as top cylinder vacuums offer superior cleaning performance and many other advantages.

These are the average vacuum cleaner. These benefits do not apply to all models, especially low-quality vacuums.

• Design Ideas for Small Spaces

Cylinder vacuums are compact, at least when compared to upright vacuums. They are easier to store and move around your home.

However, there are exceptions to the rule. Although cylinder vacuums may not be compact, they are generally smaller than uprights.

Cylinder vacuums are compact in design but have high dust capacities. If you have a larger home to clean, you don't have to empty them as often.

• Great for Cleaning Under Furniture

Cylinder vacuums are better than uprights because they have a floorhead attached to the hose and not the main body.

A cylinder vacuum cleaner's hose can also be used to clean in tight spaces. Although upright vacuums may have a hose, they are typically shorter than those on cylinder vacs.

• For stair cleaning, a long hose is useful

A cylinder vacuum is a great choice for cleaning stairs. Most cylinders can be used to climb stairs instead of having to balance a heavy upright on a step. To make cleaning stairs easier, they often come with a crevice tool or upholstery nozzle.

Pet owners should look for models with a pet turbo. These tools are more efficient at removing hair from carpeted stairs or upholstery.

• Cylinder Vacuums Are Often Quiet

The main body houses the motor of a vacuum cylinder and not the floorhead. Manufacturers can include sound insulation to make cylinders quieter than uprights.

Many cylinder vacuums have multiple power modes that allow you to adjust suction and noise output. For example, the Miele C2 Compact has six power modes, including a quiet one.

• Value for money

Although cylinder vacuum cleaners may not be as glamorous as robotic or cordless models, they are much more affordable.

A high-end cylinder vacuum can be purchased for as low as PS300. There are also excellent models available that cost less than PS200. The top cordless vacuums, however, cost more than PS500.

Although upright vacuums are also more cost-effective, we believe that cylinder vacuums offer better value than upright vacuums. However, there are many great options in both.

• There are many options for bagged cylinders

Bagless vacuums with cyclonic designs are becoming the most popular type in recent decades. However, there are still benefits to bagged vacuums.

Bags trap dirt and dust and act as an air filter to keep them from escaping. Many bags are self-sealing to stop allergens from getting into the air while they empty. Bagged vacuums are safer for allergy sufferers.

While cordless and upright vacuum cleaners are often equipped with a bagless design there are many bagged cylinder options. If you are looking for a bagged vacuum, then a cylindrical vac is the best option.

• Wide Cleaning Radius

Cylinder vacuums are often more reachable from a power socket than upright vacuums. Combining a power cord with a long extendable length of hose will allow you to clean a larger area before changing plug sockets.

The cleaning radius of a vacuum cylinder varies from one model to the next, as you will see in the rest of this article. To get a good idea of the vacuum's cleaning radius, make sure you check the length of both the cord and the hose.

What are the disadvantages of a Cylinder Vacuum? 

There are some disadvantages to a cylinder vacuum that can be compared to cordless or upright vacuums. These are:

• The majority of cylinder vacuums do not have a powered brushbar in the floorhead. This can make it less efficient at cleaning carpets and harder to push.

• Uprights work better to clean large areas of a carpet. Because you can see where the body is, it's easier to maneuver around furniture with an upright design.

• Because cylinder vacuums can often hit furniture and walls, it can be hard to control the body if it is being dragged behind.

• Although cylinder vacuums can be compacted, they are still heavier than a cordless model.

Summary

Although cylinder vacuum cleaners may not be as thrilling as cordless models, they offer many benefits over other types. They offer a wider cleaning area, quieter operation, and easier stair cleaning.
