Cleaning is one of the basic activities of every household. The vacuum cleaner is one of the home cleaning appliances that not only falls into the category of essentials, but also occupies one of the top places on the list.
HOW TO CHOOSE A VACUUM CLEANER?
There is no person who does not know what a vacuum cleaner looks like and what responsibilities it has, but hardly everyone knows what we should consider when buying one. We will try to give you some useful guidelines in this regard.
Very important when choosing a vacuum cleaner is the suction power, as it determines the amount of dust that the device can collect per unit of time. This parameter shows the ability of the vacuum cleaner to remove not only large debris, but also smaller dust particles that are almost invisible to the eye. Suction power is directly proportional to the power of the engine. Greater engine power - greater suction power. This characteristic is especially important if people with dust allergies live in the house.
It is good for a vacuum cleaner to have high power, but it is even better if it can be adjusted. Simply because when cleaning different floors and surfaces, you do not need to use the same energy. Smooth surfaces, such as laminate or parquet, for example, require lower power, while rough carpets - much higher. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, it is recommended that the adjustment button be in an accessible place.
Other main characteristics of vacuum cleaners are the suction classes when passing through different surfaces. Usually, each vacuum cleaner model has an energy class label, or energy efficiency. You can find these parameters on it. The label shows values from A to G, with A being the highest class and G being the lowest. The parameters indicate exactly what the vacuum cleaner's suction capabilities are on different surfaces such as laminate flooring, tiles, linoleum and soft flooring. Accordingly, you can also see the class of discharge of small dust particles and other harmful emissions that can pass through the back of the vacuum cleaner and pollute the air in it. This parameter is important to be high, because otherwise you risk feeling an unpleasant odor instead of fresh air and a clean environment after vacuuming. Usually, it is due precisely to the low class for emitted harmful emissions.
The pipes, accessories, and filters that the vacuum cleaner uses are also not to be underestimated.
The tubes of the electric cleaning device can be metal or plastic, depending on the design. The former are more durable, but also a little heavier. However, do not compromise with the metal tube for a plastic one. Choose tubes that can be adjusted on the principle of a telescope - this way each family member will be able to adjust the length to their own height. When it comes to nozzles and accessories, there are not many options here. By default, the minimum number of nozzles is 3 - with a soft brush, with a hard brush and a flat one for cleaning corners and narrow gaps. Of course, there are models that offer these accessories in different sizes and materials.
Vacuum cleaners that have the “wet and dry” feature should be distinguished from those that can wash. Wet and dry cleaning means that the machine can successfully handle the suction of both dry particles and dust, as well as liquids on the floor, carpet, parquet and tiles.
The capacity of your vacuum cleaner also matters – the larger it is, the less often you will need to clean the filter. But you need to find a sensible compromise between size and capacity, as more capacity usually means more space.
The most common filters are dry. They are divided into several types - electrostatic, HEPA filters, antibacterial. Electrostatic filters retain larger particles, so if you have the opportunity, choose the more effective new generation HEPA. They are made of non-woven fibers, which ensures the capture of finer particles and dust at home. HEPA filters remove 99.97% of particles with a size of 0.3 microns and larger. The latest filters that you can find on the market are antibacterial, which are suitable for asthmatics and people allergic to dust. There are options for combining filters - water and HEPA, HEPA and anti-allergic, etc.
Pay attention to the bags too. When it comes to them, you have several options. Textile bags are a bit outdated and are used when paper bags are not available. They, in turn, provide greater hygiene, since textile bags must be washed thoroughly. The opening of paper bags closes automatically, which provides both convenience and increases hygiene. Depending on the intensity of use, paper bags are replaced every month or two.
With us you can find a wide variety of models of the so-called standard type of vacuum cleaners. The advantage of them is that they have great mobility - you can lift them and carry them with you. They are very convenient for cleaning stairs, precisely thanks to their weight. They are compact, easy to store and do not take up space.
Quite indicative of the breadth of choice that you can make with us is the power of the models, which ranges from 600 to 1600W. We would like to emphasize that we have vacuum cleaners for dry and wet suction, specialized for ash, equipped with containers that are removed and cleaned extremely easily and quickly, without the need to change the filter bag, etc. A large part of the items are offered in a set with very useful additional accessories that expand their functions.
The prices of vacuum cleaners in our country make them favorites of consumer demand, considering that the models are from proven brands such as SAMSUNG, BOSCH, PHILIPS, KARCHER, GORENJE, PREMIUM, FINLUX, RAIDER, KING, SAPIR and others.
