Upright Vacuums
Uprights are best for cleaning homes that predominantly feature carpet, as a brush combs the carpet pile to lift trodden in dirt. Uprights may be more suitable for those with lower back pain, as less bending down is required than with cylinders and some models are extremely manoeuvrable with easy steering.
Upright vacuum cleaners usually have a larger capacity than other cleaners, so you don't need to empty them as often, and some are specially designed to deal with lifting stubborn pet hair from carpets.
