When choosing the right vacuum cleaner for your business, the first few things you need to consider are the larger categories. First and foremost, you need to pick a brand of vacuum cleaners that will provide a high-quality vacuum cleaner that is durable, easy to use, and will provide years of value to your business. From there, one of the first decisions many businesses make is the type of vacuum cleaner they want to purchase. The three major categories of vacuum cleaners are upright vacuums, canister vacuums, and backpack vacuum cleaners. Each of these vacuum types has its own benefits and uses.

What Is The Difference Between Canister and Upright Vacuums?
An upright vacuum cleaner is a piece of equipment that is in one piece. Because the entire vacuum cleaner is in one piece it is easier to move the vacuum from room to room. But the downside of this is that in order to clean under or around furniture you will need to move the entire vacuum around. Of course, there are vacuums with attachments that allow you to almost treat the upright vacuum like a canister by providing a hose and extension to clean walls, tight corners, and furniture.
By comparison, a canister vacuum has a body that is not directly connected to the vacuum head. A hose connects the head to the body, so it is easier to clean walls, windowsills, stairs, and around or under furniture. The obvious drawback is that in order to move from room to room, you will need to bend down and grab the canister. Of course, a backpack vacuum works by taking the canister off the floor by allowing the cleaner to wear the canister as a backpack.
What Businesses Use Canister Vacuums?
Canister vacuums are frequently used by hotels, large apartment complexes, and buildings that consistently need to clean around furniture. If a large part of your cleaning project requires you to maneuver tight spaces, clean countertops or on walls, a canister or a backpack vacuum might be the right call.
What Businesses Use Upright Vacuums?
Upright vacuums are often used by small businesses like offices or retail locations. There is a lot of variation in upright vacuums that can help businesses in different ways. For example, battery-powered upright vacuums remove the need to find an outlet for cleaning your property. There are also lightweight vacuums that have attachments that make it easier for businesses to clean around furniture. Depending on a facility’s size, floors, and cleaning needs, different upright vacuum cleaners can help improve cleaning efficiency.
