Upright Vacuums

Find a Modern Spin on the Classic Upright Vacuum at JCPenney

Purchasing a new vacuum is often a big investment and upright cleaners are some of the most versatile types of vacuums you can buy. You want a machine that is going to work when you need it, and an upright is the best of the best when it comes to the workhorses of vacuum cleaners. With a sleek, modern upright vacuum from JCPenney, you'll keep your home fresh and clean every day. Here are a few tips to help you to determine which upright is the best for your housekeeping needs.

Why Choose an Upright Vacuum Cleaner Over a Canister Machine?

It's an unpleasant fact that every home's floors are dirty. Dirt and germs collect on carpets and get ground into the fibers every time you walk across them. Hardwood and tile are no exceptions to this dirty rule. In addition to surface dirt, debris collects in your tile's crevices, and between wood planks. An upright vacuum cleaner from JCPenney is one of the best ways to give your floors a thorough cleaning. Most models come with an assortment of onboard tools and accessories so you can give your curtains and upholstery a good cleaning, too.

Choosing the Best Upright Vacuum for Your Busy Lifestyle

Modern upright vacuum cleaners offer flexibility and multi-tasking, making it easy to clean a variety of different floor types. Many models let you turn off the brush roll, so your upright machine doesn't damage hardwood floors, while adjustable height controls provide stronger suction on low-pile carpets or linoleum. Lower suction power settings won't harm delicate area rugs or draperies. If your family suffers from allergies, vacuuming can seem like torture because your machine will kick-up dust into the air. Look for an upright vacuum with a built-in filter to block allergens.

Your upright vacuum should easily turn a corner, include a hose to reach those cobwebs, and effortlessly slide under furniture. An upright vacuum with a swiveling head or one that features a low profile is ideal for these challenging cleanup duties. Some nice extra features that make vacuuming easier include a long power cord so you can clean more rooms without having to switch outlets, and an easy-to-dump dust cup, if you choose a bagless upright.

Look for an upright vacuum with a nice assortment of tools, like an extendable wand for getting into hard to reach places, and a dust brush for removing pet hair from upholstery or dust from your keyboard. A crevice tool is a handy attachment for cleaning along baseboards and in tight spots where your upright vacuum won't fit.

There's nothing like the look of a freshly vacuumed carpet. Uprights make outstanding vacuums, and JCPenney has the perfect machine to keep your home clean and beautiful.
