Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Keep carpets and floors clean with our range of upright vacuum cleaners from Dyson, Shark, Sebo, Vax and Ewbank. Choose from traditional corded uprights, pet-focused vacuum cleaners and flexible designs for cleaning floors, stairs and furniture.

Upright vacuums combine the main cleaner and floorhead in one unit, making them a popular choice for regular whole-home floorcare. To compare other designs, browse our wider Vacuum Cleaners range.

Shark Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Shark upright vacuum cleaners make up a significant part of the current range, including Lift-Away, Detect and Stratos models. Selected Shark vacuums feature Anti Hair Wrap technology and pet-focused tools, while Lift-Away designs provide extra flexibility for stairs and above-floor cleaning.

Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Dyson upright vacuum cleaners include Ball models designed for whole-home floorcare. Current options include Animal and Multifloor models, giving you choices for different flooring and cleaning requirements.

Selected Dyson Animal vacuums are particularly suited to homes where tackling pet hair is an important consideration.

Sebo & Vax Upright Vacuums

The collection also includes Sebo upright vacuum cleaners, including models from the Automatic range. Sebo provides bagged upright options alongside the bagless machines available elsewhere in the collection, with standard and wider floorhead designs available.

Vax upright vacuum cleaners provide further choices for everyday floorcare, including LiftOut and pet-focused models. Features vary by machine, so compare capacity, weight, floorhead and supplied tools before choosing.

Upright Vacuum Cleaners for Pet Hair

If you have cats or dogs, look for an upright vacuum cleaner for pet hair with suitable brush rolls and attachments for your flooring, stairs and furniture. Selected Shark, Dyson, Sebo and Vax models are designed with pet-owning households in mind.

Anti-tangle or hair-management technologies are available on selected models and can help reduce hair becoming wrapped around the brush roll.

Bagged & Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaners

Most upright vacuums collect dirt either in a reusable bagless container or a replaceable dust bag. Bagless models make it easy to see when the container needs emptying, while bagged vacuums keep collected debris contained inside a disposable bag.

Your preferred emptying method, capacity and ongoing replacement-bag requirements can help determine which design suits you.

How to Choose an Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Consider your flooring, home size and whether you have pets. Weight and manoeuvrability are also important, particularly if you move the vacuum between floors or regularly clean stairs.

Compare floorhead design, dust capacity, filtration, cable reach and supplied tools. If cable-free cleaning is more important, explore our Cordless Vacuum Cleaners. For a separate hose-and-body design, compare Cylinder Vacuum Cleaners. Replacement bags and compatible tools can be found in Vacuum Cleaner Accessories.
