Flexible canister vacuum cleaner

Offers powerful suction with a separate hose and wand, making it excellent for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and under furniture with ease.

A flexible canister vacuum cleaner suits people who clean stairs, upholstery and the spaces under furniture often. The body rolls behind on wheels while the hose and wand do the reaching, so there is less lifting than with a full upright.
