melhor aspirador de pó vertical  vacuums are workhorses that excel at deep-cleaning. They’re typically the bulkiest and heaviest type of full-sized vacuum on the market, and they typically get top marks in our tests for pulling up pet hair and debris from hard floors and carpeting. Some of our favorite uprights include features that let you use them on bare floors without damaging the flooring: Look for models with different floor modes, which switch the beater bar to an off position so it doesn’t leave scratches on hardwoods; or consider ones that come with a secondary cleaning head featuring a softer roller that can collect fine dust and debris from bare surfaces.

Best Air Conditioners for Small vs. Large Rooms

The best uprights have powerful motors that can tackle the dirtiest carpeting, and they generally feature sizable dustbins for unrestrained cleaning time. Some, like the best upright bagged vacuum we’ve tested (the Kenmore Intuition Bagged), offer superb filtration, tightly sealing away microscopic dust and allergens in bags that hold more than a gallon. Others, such as our top-rated model (the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Complete), come with a host of attachments that enable you to handle various cleaning tasks on a variety of floor types.

The best uprights are easy to maneuver and operate, with features such as self-propelled movement that reduces the amount of effort you have to put in during a cleaning session. They also usually have large swivel steering to make it easier to maneuver around furniture and into tight corners.
