The benefit of a canister vacuum cleaner with a carpet nozzle is that the motor in the canister vacuum is stronger than the motor in an upright vacuum. The canister vacuum cleaner motor is a Flow-Through motor, meaning that the air travels in a straight line through the moror and then out the exhaust.
Upright vacuum cleaners use a bypass motor. Meaning that the air must travel around the motor to exhaust out the back. This is less efficient than the canister motor. This is why canister vacuum cleaners have more suction.
It should be noted that there are upright vacuum cleaners that actually use a canister style motor. The Riccar uprights just about exclusively use this type of motor also.
The canister vacuum cleaners also generally have a quieter motor, due to the sound insulation around the motor.
The Riccar Pristine model has a very quiet motor, and can actually be adjusted to vary the suction power.
The canister vacuum itself is a sleek design allowing for ease of use around corners. The bumper is rubber and entirely surrounds the vacuum. The bottom of the vacuum has four swivel castor wheels to allow complete maneuverability. The bottom is also polished to allow a smooth surface. With even the thickest shag carpet, the Pristine will roll without difficulty across the carpet.
Where the Riccar Pristine shows real benefits is in the power nozzle, the part that has the revolving brush, and sweeps the carpet. The belt that drives the roller brush is imbeded with steel cables, much like radial tires. This makes the belt just about unbreakable.
The roller brush by itself is stainless steel plus sealed ball bearings on each end of the roller.
The brushes are natural fiber, and will comb through even the thickest carpet. Because the brush bristles are straight, pet hair tends to not get trapped in the roller brush.
The carpet nozzle will automatically adjust to any thickness of carpet, but has adjustments in case the carpet is unusually thick, or the user finds the power nozzle difficult to push or pull.
The power nozzle has a thick rubber bumper that protects it against bumps and bruises.
The extension wands are metal and will extend or shorten to suite any user.
The complete machine is covered with a two year warranty, with a seven year warranty on the motor.
I would propose buying from a local merchant in your neighborhood who can honor the warranty.
This vacuum is a favorite with our consumers.
I hope this review assisted you.
