Cylinder vacuums remain a popular choice thanks to their strong suction power, lightweight designs and easy manoeuvrability. While they lack the convenience of cordless vacuum or robot vacuums, they often deliver excellent cleaning performance and are available in options to suit everything from small flats to busy family homes.
It’s no surprise that professional cleaners often turn to cylinder vacuums. Cleaning expert and author Laura Mountford says their appeal lies in their versatility and powerful suction. “Cylinder vacuums are lightweight but with heavy duty power, because they focus on pure suction rather than rotating brushes,” says Laura. “Most models come with lots of tools and attachments that can be used to clean all around your home. They are basically the Swiss Army knife of vacuum cleaners – great for vacuuming different surface types, the stairs, getting into tight spaces, sofas, curtains and rugs.”
