Wize Buying Guide for Stairs

When purchasing a vacuum cleaner for your stairs, you might want to consider either a canister or hand-held model. Most uprights and some stick vacs can be too cumbersome to conveniently navigate stairs and tight spaces.


Although cyclonic vacuums tend to have more power, they are usually only available in upright models, so you may have to sacrifice power for portability. But if you really want a cyclonic vacuum for the main carpets in your home, consider getting a hand-held vacuum as well, just for your stairs. This will let you clean your stairs without constantly lugging the heavier upright up and down the steps. You can get many hand-held models for less than $50, so the hand-held vacuum is a practical and economical solution.
