Cylinder vacuum cleaners

A cylinder vacuum cleaner remains the tool for large homes and thorough cleans, running on mains power for as long as needed and carrying a full set of attachments. In use, filtration, noise level and cord length matter more than wattage, which says little about real suction. A bagged model limits contact with dust when emptying, while a bagless one saves buying consumables.

Power
This criterion measures maximum suction power: the longer the bar, the stronger the appliance.
Capacity
This criterion measures the dust container capacity: the longer the bar, the longer the vacuum cleaner can be used before emptying.
Silence
This criterion measures the noise level during operation: the longer the bar, the quieter the vacuum cleaner.
Price
This criterion compares the price found to that of other cylinder vacuum cleaners on the market: the longer the bar, the better the price.
Energy use
This criterion measures the estimated annual energy consumption: the longer the bar, the less electricity the vacuum cleaner uses.
Operating radius
This criterion measures the reachable distance without changing socket: the longer the bar, the more area the vacuum cleaner covers without unplugging.

Large dust capacity, thorough filtration that cuts down on allergens and a much quieter run with plenty of accessories.

The buying guide for this category Cylinder Vacuum Cleaners: Buying Guide A cylinder vacuum cleaner is chosen on the balance between suction power, dust capacity and noise level, alongside energy use and operating radius. These measured criteria, compared listing by listing, are what really separate the models beyond the sticker price. Read the guide
