Some of the advantages of the upright cleaner are as follows:

There doesn't seem as much strain on the leg and back muscles when using the upright vacuum, so it could definitely be a wiser choice for your health and well being.
• With the upright cleaner the power switch can be found on the handle or a foot lever on the base of the unit. The switch on the handle makes it very easy to turn on and off but there is still the option for the foot lever switch for those who prefer.

• And while they are extremely efficient machines that clean large areas in record time, they are also easy to operate for that spilled ashtray or other debris that needs to be picked up quickly.

Other than the Dyson your options are pretty limited on versatility for the Upright vacuum as it is only Dyson at the moment using such technology.
• Also the upright vacuum cost more than the other categories of vacuum, but it is well worth its price as it makes cleaning a wide area very easy.
