Cylinder vacuum cleaners are generally smaller and lighter than upright cleaners,
so they take up less storage space and are easier to carry up and down stairs. They
are particularly good at getting into small and hard to reach areas and corners,
and their low profile means they easily clean under furniture. They are great for
cleaning stairs, and rooms with a mix of carpet and hard floors. They do, however,
require a bit more effort to push, and their smaller cleaning head means it will
take longer to vacuum a room than with an upright.
