Advantages: About as good as uprights come
Disadvantages: Ridiculous pricing - more than most grands

...As mentioned in other review on Steinways, these pianos are by far the best money can buy. No other brand can come close to the level of quality these pianos’s offer. The upright series is essentially a very good piano. It is basically the same as the Steinway grand’s in many ways, with an excellent touch and feel. The advantage of having an upright is simply the space saved. If space is a problem, this has to be the ultimate upright piano series from which to choose. The sacrifice of moving from grand to upright is the sound. Though this is in my opinion one of the best upright pianos, it still can’t come anywhere near to a grand. The range of sounds and the tone is not quite there. I also feel that these pianos are grossly overpriced. My advise is to clear out that old table, spend an extra couple of thousand and go...

Advantages: Quality and cost.
Disadvantages: Doesn't quite have the status of the similar size Steinway piano.

...I have been able to compare the largest Yamaha Upright with the equivalent pianos from Steinway and the mass produced Boston (marketed by Steinway) These pianos look identical in size and shape. If you are a serious musician, and you keep in practice, you will probably prefer the Steinway. This has a firm touch, giving an experienced player a wider dynamic range and range of expression. The Boston is identical, but about half the price of the Steinway, and has a lighter touch. The largest Yamaha upright is also identical, and has a lighter touch than the Boston. It is between a quarter and a third of the price of the Steinway. Used Steinways and Bostons are rather difficult to locate, and if they have been reconditioned it is important to establish who has done the work, as a used piano is only as good as the technician...

Advantages: Great for hardwood floors, tile, or carpet
Disadvantages: none

...This upright was the first upright that I have bought. I always had a canister vacuum. This vacuum is great. I vacuumed the floor first with the canister then the upright. I filled the dirt cup in the Bissell with pet hair and lots of dirt. Very easy to empty and clean. You can also clean the filter with water. The vacuum is very quite and easy to move across the floor. Extra long cord so you can go twice the distance. Great for hardwood floors and tile floors. Very powerful suction with the hand held wand. Pretty llight for bring up and down stairs and has extra tools for doing the stairs and furniture. I would recommend this upright vacuum to anyone who is looking for a good vacuum,... Read review
