Vacuum Cleaners - upright or cylinder?

[caffeine_demon]

So - How do you prefer to clean up?

An upright cleaner:

I prefer to buy whatever my woman wants to clean with. Preferably what gives her the least amount of back ache

Uprights are much better!

Have you ever even hoovered?

I hate Henry with every fibre of my being. That smug face leering at me as he's crashed into yet another corner, fills me such indiscriminate indignant rage that I have to take the time to remind myself it's just a hoover.

Anyway...
Like most facets of my life, I'll just use whatever I can get my hands on.

Definitely uprights. It's the only type of vacuum I've ever bought and the only type I will continue to buy.

Must be right! Women know their vacuums

I love my Dyson, it's a cylinder. They are a lot easier to use than an upright especially on the stairs.

Can't not to agree with you, even if this topic is old! I had Dyson model several years ago too and it worked really well, I was sad when I needed to change it to a newer one... However I can't say which certain type of models are better, in my opinion both cylinder and upright vacuum cleaners are nice in their ways, I think it mostly depends on a certain brand and individual taste
Personally I at the current time prefer canister models like on these examples from Cozzy, I have such Shark cleaner and it's not worse than my old Dyson

But I can't say that I like cleaning my house very much even with all that cool stuff...

Ahh - forgot I'd made this poll - anyway, a few weeks ago, I saw these being used in my flat block - what a game changer, I want one!!
