Household cleaning equipment is constantly being improved. A striking example is vertical vacuum cleaners, which are superior to their traditional counterparts in many respects. A completely different design was used, in which all the main components are placed directly on the telescopic rod. Below is a rating of the best vertical vacuum cleaners - corded and battery-powered, according to experts and customer reviews.
How to choose, overview of characteristics
Before choosing a vertical vacuum cleaner, you must be sure to familiarize yourself with its performance and other indicators on which the quality of task performance depends.
First of all, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the following parameters:
- Suction power. This figure for different models varies in the range from 60 to 150 W. The higher the value, the more productive the device will be. It will take less time to clean.
- Dust container capacity. For small apartments, a miniature device with a tank volume of 0.2-0.6 liters is quite sufficient. In private houses or large apartments, more powerful vacuum cleaners with a dust collector of 0.7-1 liters will be required.
- Accumulator battery. High efficiency is observed in devices equipped with lithium-ion batteries. They are characterized by high capacity and slow discharge. These are the kind of vacuum cleaners you need to buy. They are able to work for a long time without stopping and overheating.
- Noise level during operation. It is not the same for different models, but the most optimal indicators are 70-80 dB. Such devices do not create discomfort and do not interfere with other family members from doing their business.
- Battery life. The most advanced devices are those that can clean rooms within an hour without recharging. On average, this parameter ranges from 15 to 60 minutes.

Differences between inexpensive mid-range and premium vacuum cleaners
The classification of vertical vacuum cleaners depending on their cost is based on significant differences in each price segment. They have different configurations, number of functions and other useful options that you should pay attention to when purchasing.
The main differences between expensive vacuum cleaners are as follows:
- Increased suction power.
- Large volume of dust collector.
- Possibility of working in several modes.
- Convenient adjustments and power settings.
- Availability of LED indication.
- Additional attachments for cleaning hard-to-reach places, cleaning fabric coverings, curtains, etc.
In low-cost and mid-range models, all these options are missing completely or partially.
What to look for when choosing a vertical vacuum cleaner
Vertical vacuum cleaners have many varieties, which differ in both technical characteristics and functionality. Therefore, it is better to study in detail the different models and their criteria in order to buy a device that best suits your requirements.
1 Power. Vacuum cleaners have these two parameters: power consumption and suction power. The first is responsible for energy consumption, and the second for suction power and, as a result, the quality of cleaning. Both parameters can be found in the instructions for the device.
2 Volume of the dust container. It depends on how often you have to clean it. For vacuum cleaners powered by the mains, the volume of the container will be larger than for a battery-powered one. On average, this is from 0.7-1 liters for wired and 0.4-0.6 for wireless.
3 Dimensions and weight. In order to decide on this parameter, you need to understand whether you want a vertical vacuum cleaner as the main device, or for full cleaning you have a washing or powerful cyclone, and you need a vertical one to quickly collect dust and crumbs. For quick cleaning, it is better to choose light and small “electric brooms”, and if the vacuum cleaner is the only one, then sacrifice weight and size in favor of power, functionality and a large dust collector.
4 Power type. Vertical vacuum cleaners can be powered from the mains or from batteries. Battery-powered models provide greater freedom of movement, while network-powered ones are ready to work at any moment. If you have a lot of square meters that you want to clean with this type of device, it is better to choose a vacuum cleaner with a power cord.
5 Filter type. High-quality filtration is provided by a HEPA filter. An additional advantage will be, if it is not the only one - the more complex the filtration system, the less dust the device produces back.
6 Noise level. Upright vacuum cleaners are generally quieter than their traditional counterparts, and even more so the wash and cyclone models. But all the same, the lower the noise level, the more comfortable the cleaning process will be.
7 Nozzles. A larger number of attachments provides a variety of functionality. A full-fledged turbo brush ideally cleans carpets, a small one is very convenient for cleaning sofas, a crevice nozzle will allow you to reach hard-to-reach places, and a special nozzle for parquet and laminate is also suitable for cleaning shelves in closets from dust. The self-cleaning function of the brushes will also not be superfluous - it will easily rid the attachments of difficult-to-remove debris, for example, threads or hair that gets tightly wound.
8 Additional functions. Features such as wet cleaning or automatic shutdown when overheating will help make using a vacuum cleaner more convenient and safe. Ease of maintenance and ease of maintenance also play a big role when choosing a device.
