TOP 5: vacuum cleaners for home cleaning

Gorenje VCK 1802 WF

One of the main advantages of the model is an aquafilter. Thanks to the latter, all the collected garbage is mixed with water in a special container, which is very convenient to clean after. That's just what you have to do after each cleaning. A little trick: if you add a little detergent to the liquid container, it will be much easier to wash the glass.

It has a multi-level filtration system: in addition to water, 4 additional stages are implemented, including the popular HEPA filter. The vacuum cleaner perfectly handles with various types of garbage: whether it's ordinary dust or hair stuck in the carpet. Users are advised to clean filter No. 2 (fine-grained foam rubber) more often, since dirt can stagnate in it, which will cause an unpleasant smell.

If we talk about power, then it is quite sufficient for high-quality cleaning, but less. Most users use the model exclusively at maximum "revolutions". Moreover, the power regulator is located on the body of the vacuum cleaner, you have to bend over to it, which is not very convenient.

The vacuum cleaner boasts a good set of nozzles: slot, dust, upholstered furniture, parquet and classic combined floor/carpet brush. The case is made of high-quality plastic.

As a result: a good vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning of premises. Its advantages include a relatively low cost, an aquafilter, as well as excellent equipment.

LG V-K89301HQ

Next on our list is a futuristic vacuum cleaner from the Korean company LG with the function of compressing dust into compact briquettes. The latter allows you to clean large areas, but at the same time it is much less likely, in comparison with the classic “cyclones”, to clean the dust collector. According to user reviews, you can easily remove about 60 m²., and at the same time the dust collector will still not be 100% full.

As for the suction power, it is 420 watts. Figuratively speaking, at maximum speeds, the vacuum cleaner sticks tightly to the carpet. For ease of use, the power regulator is mounted on the handle. The intake air purification system consists of 8 levels, including the same HEPA filter.

The noise level of the model is at the level of 78 dB. Some users in the reviews complain about excessive noise, while others claim that the device works quite quietly. Most likely, it's a matter of habit, it all depends on what kind of vacuum cleaner you had before.

The model has a fairly long cord – 8 m, which provides a working radius of 11 m. It has good manoeuvrability, despite its size. The package includes a special nozzle for parquet, which is undoubtedly an advantage.

The disadvantages include the generation of a static charge, which attracts dust to the body, but many models "suffer" from this. You should also wash the filters regularly (on average, once a month), but, again, a similar rule can be attributed to other cyclone-type vacuum cleaners.

As a result: a good choice for a large apartment, high suction power, multi-level filtration system.

Thomas Twin TT Aquafilter

One of the most popular cleaning vacuum cleaners on the market. The model is equipped with an aquafilter and provides both classic dry and wet cleaning. At the same time, the maximum suction power is at the level of 300 watts.

Special attention deserves a set of nozzles, which includes: a combined brush, dust, parquet, crevice, as well as special brushes for upholstered furniture, for washing and for collecting water . Thanks to this, the vacuum cleaner can clean, perhaps, any surface: tile, laminate, parquet, carpet, floor, etc.

The volume of the container for cleaning agent is 2.4 liters, while the capacity of the dust collector (dirty water bowl) is only 1 liter. According to reviews, this is sometimes not enough for high-quality cleaning of a large area.

Also, many users complain about the difficulty in maintenance, especially cleaning the vacuum cleaner after wet cleaning. But in fact, it's not so difficult: it's enough to drain dirty water, and then pass several liters of clean water through the device through suction.

The power regulator is located on the housing, so you will have to bend over to adjust it. The length of the cord does not exceed 6 metres — this is quite enough for small apartments. The dimensions of the device are also difficult to call small, but in fairness it should be noted that washing vacuum cleaners have always been large in size.

As a result: one of the most popular washing vacuum cleaners, the possibility of dry and wet cleaning, an excellent set of brushes, the model is noisy.

iRobot Roomba 780

The Roomba 780 is one of the most interesting solutions among robot vacuum cleaners. The cost of the model is quite high, but at the same time, high-quality robot vacuum cleaners have never been cheap. And the models presented on the market with a price tag an order of magnitude lower, usually, have quite a lot of negative feedback from users. Most of them come down to complaints about the quality of cleaning and the complexity of management.

As for the hero of our today's review, then, according to the reviews, the cleaning quality of this model is at a high level. High suction power and a combined brush allow you to collect both large debris and dust. The filtration system is equipped with 2 HEPA filters, which also provides high-quality air purification, including from allergens.

The vacuum cleaner easily overcomes small thresholds (up to 1 cm). Thanks to the low body, it can clean even in hard-to-reach places, the side brush cleans corners and areas near the baseboard well. Very rarely, but in the network there are still complaints that the vacuum cleaner is stuck in certain places. Despite the clever and thoughtful navigation system, it is recommended to use the device in apartments with a simple layout.

It is also worth noting the interesting navigation of the device. With the help of the "virtual wall" function and a pair of special beacons, the user can programme the vacuum cleaner to clean in certain places. The robot automatically cleans in one room, after which it independently starts cleaning in another. It is possible to programme the operating time, which allows you to maintain cleanliness in the house almost without the participation of the user himself. Special sensors on the bottom automatically determine the cleanliness of the surface. At the same time, some users note that it is problematic to understand this navigation in places.

Another important advantage is a capacious battery. One full charge is enough to clean the room area of 100 m². The model is sent to the base on its own after the cleaning is finished and connected to the charger.

As a result: fully automated and high-quality cleaning, an excellent solution for small apartments (1-2 rooms), high cost.

Karcher SV 1802

The latest model in our today's review is a vacuum cleaner from the German manufacturer Karcher. In fact, it is rather a multifunctional cleaning machine that will help to bring almost perfect order to the whole house.

First of all, we note that this is the only device in our review equipped with a steam generator. The device can emit a steam jet with a temperature of up to 150C, which allows you to eliminate stains from various surfaces without the use of detergents. So, he can even cope with old stains on the carpet. A special switch allows you to adjust the steam consumption at 5 levels.

The model also handles perfectly with the classic dry and wet cleaning. At the heart of the filtration system is a bundle of aquafilter and the popular HEPA fine filter. According to the manufacturer's statements, the replacement of the HEPA filter should be carried out every 1-2 years.

As for the disadvantages, first of all it is worth noting that the device is really bulky. Maintenance, as well as the cleaning process itself, takes a lot of time: the vacuum cleaner needs to be taken out, assembled, and then disassembled and washed. Another inconvenient nuance is the cord, which does not wind up automatically. It's a trifle, but it brings a certain inconvenience. Also, there are quite a lot of brittle parts in the design that may not survive sharp "twitches" or "jerks".

Thus, in front of you is a powerful device designed for a long, thorough cleaning. It's better to pick up something simpler for every day. But with a large "general" cleaning, he handles perfectly.

As a result: the most multifunctional device in this review, great for "general" cleaning, bulky, poorly suited for "quick cleaning".
