How to choose vacuum cleaner

When planning the purchase of a vacuum cleaner, it is worth remembering the huge number of varieties of models. The first thing to decide is whether you need a washing or regular vacuum cleaner.

How vacuum cleaners work

The design of washing devices provides for the following principle of operation:

• The water in the reservoir enters the nozzles through a tube.
• Then the surface is moistened, which should be removed.
• The humid air from the vacuum cleaner softens the dirt and takes it inside.
• Waste moisture is returned back to the tank.
• As a result, the surface is cleaned and the air becomes fresher.

The principle of operation of conventional vacuum cleaners is as follows:

• After the start, the motor starts to work, which creates thrust.
• The vacuum cleaner picks up dirt and dust, sucks them through the tube.
• Dust and dirt are sent through a pipe to a dust bag.
• The air flow is cleaned with a filter.

What about washing vacuum cleaners?

If you do not need to acquaint readers with ordinary devices, then washing machines are a relatively new type of technology, so we will dwell on it in more detail.

Buyers note that cleaning with a washing vacuum cleaner is several times faster than with a conventional vacuum cleaner and is suitable for cleaning:

Differences between washing and conventional vacuum cleaners

Despite a similar design and purpose, washing vacuum cleaners differ from conventional ones:

1. Cleaning type. Conventional devices are used for dry cleaning, washing machines are also suitable for wet cleaning.
2. Cleaning. Detergents work on all surfaces unlike conventional ones.
3. Number of tanks. In the washing machine - two (one for water, the other for collecting dust), and in the usual one (for dust).
4. Aquafilter. It is present in all washing devices, but they are rarely found in classic ones.

What to consider when buying?

To choose a really high-quality and good model, check out a number of technical parameters of the devices:

1. Power indicators. Consumed (from 1200 to 2100 W) and suction power (300–450 W).
2. Indicators of the intensity of the air flow. The volume of processed dust per second depends on this criterion. An excellent indicator - up to 43 l / s.
3. The types of filters used. The washing models use fine filters, aquafilters and motor filters. Classic vacuum cleaners with a water filter, bags or plastic containers.
4. Trumpet. It can be plastic, metal or combined (plastic and metal). The best option is a metal telescopic tube.
5. Equipment. The more attachments and different brushes in the set, the more surfaces, furniture and corners you can remove.
