Mary H.J. Farrell from consumerreports said that If you’re shopping for vacuums, a canister model is worth considering.
All of the canister vacuums in Consumer Reports’ tests do a terrific job cleaning bare floors, and some are very good at cleaning carpet.
What makes canisters stand out is their design. Because the weight is distributed between the canister itself and the powerhead, they’re easier to move around than uprights. That’s ideal if you live in a house with multiple levels.
