9 Best Upright Vacuum Cleaners Based on Customer Reviews

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

House cleaning is not at all the long and boring process that everyone imagines it to be. If you resort to the help of modern 'gadgets', the premises will shine with speed quickly enough, and the owner himself will receive great pleasure from the cleaning process. A striking representative of such assistants is an upright vacuum cleaner for the home. Forget about the hoses stretched throughout the apartment: a good vacuum cleaner is compact and miniaturized, and the dust bag, electric motor and controls are located on its handle.

The main criteria for choosing the best upright vacuum cleaners

1. Vacuum cleaner power. The higher the declared power, the better the traction of the vacuum cleaner and the faster and more productive cleaning will take place. This parameter is especially important for a wireless, battery-powered model, which a priori cannot boast of high power;
2. Purification and filtration systems. Almost every manufacturer presents its own cleaning technology, many of which are very similar in principle of operation. HEPA filters are considered one of the most functional and productive;
3. Dust container capacity. An inexpensive vacuum cleaner can hardly boast of a large-volume dust collector: such models are equipped with a reservoir of up to 1 liter. Expensive models from well-known manufacturers, on the contrary, have a capacious, 3-4 liters or even more, reservoir;
4. Noisy vacuum cleaner. Nobody wants to put up with the sound of an aircraft going in for landing, and therefore you should also pay attention to this parameter. As a rule, numbers are indicated on the box in decibels (dB) – a value that reflects the overall noise level of the device. If it was not possible to find this value, you can always connect the device to the network and listen to the sound of its operation;
5. Supply system. On sale you can find both traditional models operating from a 220V network, and wireless devices, under the case of which a battery is hidden. Despite the fact that cordless vertical vacuum cleaners cannot boast of high power, they are very popular, first of all, due to their mobility and the ability to clean away from the outlet;
6. Additional brushes included. With their help, the functionality of the vacuum cleaner is significantly expanded. Depending on the design, the brushes can help remove dust, fur, stubborn stains and other 'pleasant' surprises.
