Canister Vacuums

Canister Vacuums

If you're out of the loop on cleaning technologies, these machines might look like they're a sight from yesteryear. But canister vacuums are actually some of the most versatile and powerful cleaning tools you can find on the market. These are the perfect solution for those who don't want to push heavy upright ones or have a home that isn't well-suited for a robot model. But one of the greatest features you'll be able to find in canister vacuums is the ease of mobility. The weight is comfortably distributed between the power head and the rear wheeled containment unit, allowing users to maneuver between different areas of the home (including up stairs, across different floor types and beyond).

Why Choose Canister Vacuums?

When it comes to picking out cleaning supplies for your home, it's important to know which cleaner is right for you. So why choose canister vacuums? The benefits are easy to see: they're easy to move around and light, but they also tend to be more powerful than competitors, especially light ones like stick vacuums. Better suction and faster flow rate lead to a quicker, more thorough clean. As you move from room to room, you might notice another benefit: they're much quieter than competitors. That makes them perfect for homes with younger kids and pets.

When it comes to floors, canister models are extremely versatile thanks to their own construction (as well as their own floor care accessories). They're designed and optimized for hardwood floors, and can pull up debris from in between boards, tiles and similar cracks. That being said, carpet and rugs aren't much of an issue. If you've got a lot of carpet in your home, keep an eye out for mighty models by brands like Miele at Abt that create powered heads: these penetrate deep into carpet to pull up deep-seated debris. These attachments are easy to swap based on the situation: even find ends that are perfect for dusting, crevices, upholstery and more.

One for Every Home

While canister vacuums are great for just about any room in the home, there's a broad range of types and features that fit different lifestyles well. Explore bagged or bagless versions: some bagged canister vacuums do better at keeping allergens tucked away, for example. At the same time, bagless versions never need bags replaced, ensuring that you'll always be ready to zip up an accidental spill or some crumbs even if you don't have bags. Other ones ensure that you get the most out of every floor care session with HEPA filters, high-powered suction heads and even lights that let you see the flooring ahead of you. Explore just how well these wheeled cleaners move alongside you when you pick the perfect choice from Abt.
