Another cylinder or move to upright

I've always had cylinder vacuum cleaners.
Latest one from Amazon is rubbish.
Do I make the jump to upright?
Are they much better? (they are more expensive)
Stay tuned for more exiting decisions!

I have a Henry cylinder that picks up really well, including cat hair but it's very heavy and prone to tipping over. I have zero patience when hoovering and hate it with a passion. I shout and swear at poor Henry but then feel guilty when I see his little face.

I can't imagine how people get on with uprights. They just seem to big and unwieldy. So despite raging at Henry, I'd choose cylinder every time.

Upright cordless. Every time.

I agree about the tipping over thing. My current cylinder don't have a face, so I can at least swear at it without feeling guilty. Good point OP

We also have a Henry after going through many rubbish hoovers, absolutely no regrets.
