Canister vacuums use a wand and hose that is connected to a canister that sits on the ground and trails user while being in use. They offer better maneuverability and flexibility that make hard-to-reach places, easy to access. Often referred to as “true vacuums” or “clean air systems” they work like a backpack vacuum minus the effort it can take to carry the canister on your back. Often more powerful than a standard upright vacuum, they are perfect for home use, commercial use, and even industrial use.
