Canister Vacuum

A vacuum design with the motor and dust canister mounted on a wheeled body, connected to a cleaning head via a hose and wand.

Canisters tend to be quieter than uprights, more maneuverable around furniture, and gentler on hardwood floors. The dominant premium-vacuum format. Miele Complete C3 is the canonical example.
