What is a canister vacuum?

Instead of housing everything in one unit like stick or upright vacuum cleaners , canister vacuums separate the motor and dust collection into a compact barrel on wheels, connected to a long, flexible hose and wand. This clever design gives you greater control and reach, making it easier to glide around furniture and get to dust, crumbs and pet hair hiding under lounges, beds and those hard-to-reach corners. Built-in filtration also captures ultra-fine dust and particles, so you’re actually cleaning the air too!With strong, consistent suction, barrel vacuum cleaners are perfect for tackling mixed flooring in one clean sweep – from dirt tracked in by muddy footy boots to food scraps that end up under the dining table.

Do barrel vacuums have stronger suction power?

Feel like you’re forever going over the same spot, or watching pet hair cling to the carpet for dear life? Your current vacuum could be doing you dirty!
