Three of a Kind: A Quick Review of Upright, Cylinder & Backpack Cleaners


Last year we published guides to three of the main types of vacuum cleaner used by professional cleaners. As this latest New Year comes around, we are revisiting the main selling points of each cleaner type and the reasons they are favoured by the professional cleaner.

The Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner

Excellent if you have tricky areas that you need to tackle, such as under desks or stairs, cylinder vacuum cleaners offer the benefit of being light in weight and versatile. With accessories stored on board, these machines offers a portable, all-in-one solution that is easy to store and transport from one job to another.

The highly powerful motors make cylinder vacuum cleaners ideal for all sorts of floor types such as hard floors and carpets, and a range of applications including industrial cleaning and flood management.

The Upright Vacuum Cleaner


The upright vacuum cleaner offers benefits such as good volume dust capacity and top performance on large carpeted areas. This is a cleaner that finds it easy to transition between carpet and hard floor, often automatically.

With its larger head, the upright vacuum cleaner is able to tackle a larger surface area, reducing vacuuming time and in turn boosting efficiency. 

Lastly, the powerful brushes of the upright make it possible to get deep into the pile for an effective deep clean.

The Backpack Vacuum Cleaner


Where cleaning efficiency and user comfort are important, backpack style vacuum cleaners make the perfect choice. These machines are lightweight and designed to rest comfortably on the user’s back courtesy of an adjustable harness. With the wand and hose crafted with ergonomics in mind, users experience the least possible stress on their wrists and back.

The Pacvac is one of the most popular models in this range, combining comfort and wear-ability with exceptional performance courtesy of a premium quality motor that is reliable and super-powerful.

Other backpack cleaning machine brands include the Makita Cordless Backpack Vacuum and the Numatic RSB and RSV ranges.
