The best washing vacuum cleaners with an aqua filter

The vacuum cleaner of the Polish brand MPM has a good price-quality ratio: for a low cost you get a universal device for dry and wet cleaning of the entire house at a professional level, but without the expense of cleaning. It belongs to the type of economic models, therefore it has some features inherent in such devices. First of all, it is a large and weighty case, which takes up a lot of space when stored. But at the same time, its size is due to the spacious dust collector, which makes it possible to clean a large house without the need to constantly empty the tank. Wheels on the bottom of the case facilitate convenient movement of equipment, and a durable handle is provided for carrying.

The vacuum cleaner is equipped with two tanks. The first with a volume of 4.5 liters is intended for clean water with detergent, which are necessary for washing floors, upholstered furniture and other surfaces. And the dust collector is a capacious 10-liter aquafilter, which receives collected water, dust and debris. In addition, the model is equipped with sponge and foam filters and HEPA 13, which traps the smallest particles. This 4-stage filtration system acts as a reliable barrier to contaminants and effectively cleans the air coming out.

Another advantage was the high power of 2400 W and suction power of 210 W. They provide high-quality cleaning, although this is also due to the variety of attachments included in the package. The combination nozzle with retractable bristles is suitable for cleaning flat surfaces and carpets. The turbo brush is more effective at cleaning thick pile carpets and also works well on hair and pet hair. The crevice nozzle helps you clean hard-to-reach places, and the small dust nozzle is built right into the pipe so it's always at hand. Two more nozzles (large and small) are intended only for wet cleaning: with their help you can collect spilled liquid, wash the floor, tiles, upholstery and even windows. As a bonus, the package includes a defoamer, detergent and air freshener to eliminate unpleasant odors.

A high-quality vacuum cleaner made in Germany, Karcher SE 4001, is designed for both industrial and home cleaning. With it you can easily remove construction debris after renovation. In this case, all large debris will be collected directly in the vacuum cleaner bucket (18 l). For dust, a regular paper bag with a volume of 4 liters is suitable. The unit's 400 W suction power is enough to pick up fur and hair from carpets.

For cleaning the floor, the model is equipped with a nozzle with a rubberized edge. The pump delivers detergent to the floor, and with the help of a special nozzle, dirty water is collected into the tank. By the way, the tank itself is very easy to clean: just disconnect it from the body in one simple movement and rinse it under running cold water. For cleaning car seats and other furniture elements, the model includes crevice and furniture nozzles. The only drawback that many users note is the material used to make the components – plastic.

This model, which looks like a droid from the Star Wars movie, like many other washing vacuum cleaners, does not have a turbo brush. However, its absence is compensated by a retractable brush on a regular floor nozzle. This brush allows you to pick up wool, threads and hair from carpet and other floor coverings. The cord length of 7.5 m will ensure cleaning of several small rooms without switching between sockets. However, it’s disappointing that there is no auto-winding function, and after cleaning you have to wind the wire around your hand the old fashioned way. It is also worth noting the convenient handle on the body. It has three positions: for carrying, for removing the body and for cleaning the vacuum cleaner.

The vacuum cleaner belongs to the type of manual household models, but is somewhat different from them. Firstly, it does not work from the built-in battery, but from the network. Secondly, it is not as compact as its “brothers” - in size and weight it is somewhere between manual and classic household devices. And all because it has a different purpose. The manufacturer calls BISSELL SpotClean Pro 1558-N a deep cleaning system, because it is intended only for wet cleaning. More precisely, to remove new and old stains and collect spilled liquids. It can even clean up sauce spills and stains left behind on upholstered furniture or carpet.

To achieve this, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a 750 W motor, two washing nozzles and two tanks - for clean and dirty water. A useful addition would be the presence of branded detergents and stain removers in the package.

The model is quite unusual in operation. It does not have wheels for movement, like most vacuum cleaners, but it does have a handle for carrying. However, keep in mind that the device weighs a lot - almost 6 kg. It does not have the usual telescopic or composite pipe, since it is a manual vacuum cleaner. However, the flexible hose is long enough for convenient use. That is, if you need to wash a stain on the carpet, you will have to bend over. There is no power adjustment, but it is not needed. Water and cleaning solution are sprayed at the touch of a button, so you can adjust the amount. The lack of a battery and autonomous operation is compensated by a long 6.7-meter cord - thanks to it you can clean not only in the house, but also in the car. At the same time, there is no automatic cord winding system - the body has special fasteners and holders for a flexible hose and cable. Therefore, the device does not take up much space when stored.

To summarize, the device is not the main cleaning tool, but an addition to traditional vacuum cleaners. With its purchase, there will be no need for dry cleaning, since the device effectively removes dirt on various surfaces: carpets, rugs, upholstery, rugs and car seats.

A vacuum cleaner from the famous German manufacturer Bosch is not cheap, but its rich equipment completely justifies the price. Thanks to a variety of attachments, the model is a universal assistant for cleaning the entire house: with one device you can vacuum floors and carpets, collect spilled liquids, remove dust from crevices and other hard-to-reach places, clean mattresses, wash floors and upholstery.

So, everything in order. For dry cleaning there is a combined brush for carpets and floors, a turbo brush and three compact attachments: for upholstered furniture, crevice and dust. The turbo brush, due to its rotation at high speed, cleans carpets well of hair and animal fur. By the way, the manufacturer emphasizes that thanks to the configuration and high power, the vacuum cleaner will be especially relevant for apartments and houses with pets, as indicated by the PET prefix in the name. The feature of the combined brush is a small catch container that collects small parts. For example, if you lose a ring or other jewelry on the floor, it will not go straight to the dust collector, but will remain in this container to make it easier for you to get it out. Another advantage of the model is a brush for cleaning mattresses, which can suck dust even through a sheet. The nozzle is useful, but not very convenient, as it is made in a compact size and covers a small area, which affects the duration of cleaning.

In addition, the package includes a nozzle for collecting liquids and two washing nozzles (small and large). The principle of wet cleaning is quite simple: water and detergent are sprayed onto the surface, and the washing nozzle collects it along with dirt. Moreover, such attachments are capable of cleaning not only floors and upholstered furniture, but also tiles and even windows. A pleasant bonus will be the presence of a product in the form of special granules that eliminate unpleasant odors in the room.

The versatility of the model lies not only in the number of attachments, but also in the equipment. The device offers a choice of two dust collection containers: a capacious 5-liter aquafilter, which additionally humidifies the outgoing air, and a good old 2.5-liter bag. If you use a bag, the vacuum cleaner will not be so heavy, and the use of an aqua filter eliminates additional costs for consumables, since the bag will require replacement over time. The air quality is also affected by the HEPA 13 filter, which captures 99.95% of small particles, bacteria and allergens and prevents them from escaping.

The rest of the characteristics of the Bosch ProAnimal BWD 421 PET are also very decent: maximum power of 2100 W, 5 power levels and a long 9-meter cord, which provides a cleaning radius of up to 12 meters. For more convenient use, there is an automatic cord winding system and a compartment inside the case for storing small attachments.

The Thomas company has already become very skilled in producing washing vacuum cleaners, so there is no need to doubt the quality of these devices. Moreover, the manufacturer fundamentally does not use Chinese production, and the Made in Germany marking guarantees real German quality.

The prefix Pet and Family in the name means that the model is primarily intended for families with animals that leave behind not only fur, but also traces of dirty paws, drool and other contaminants. Therefore, a washing vacuum cleaner is designed to eliminate all these troubles. One device combines the functions of dry and wet cleaning : you can vacuum carpets, wash floors and clean upholstery without buying a large number of household appliances. And you don’t have to choose between an aqua filter and a classic bag, because here we have both. So, the AquaBOX water filter is a container with water into which the collected waste goes. The optional washable HEPA 13 filter retains even the smallest particles, bacteria and allergens. As a result, already purified and humidified air comes out. This is especially true for people suffering from allergies and asthma, as well as during the heating season, when the air in the house is dry due to heaters. Instead of an aquafilter, you can install an XXL size bag (6 liters) - it is more convenient for quick cleaning and collecting large debris.

In addition, the vacuum cleaner is suitable for collecting spilled liquids (it can collect up to 2.6 liters) and wet cleaning. In the latter case, a separate container for clean water with a volume of 1.8 liters is used, as well as a concentrated detergent, a bottle of which is included in the delivery package. Several power modes are available, including an eco mode for operating the vacuum cleaner as an air purifier. Overall, the 1700 W motor provides strong suction power, so the device can easily handle carpets and quickly absorb liquid during wet cleaning, so that the furniture does not remain damp and does not become moldy.

To be able to clean different surfaces around the house, Thomas Pet and Family is equipped with six attachments. This is a combined nozzle with a retractable brush for smooth floors and carpets, a turbo brush that collects well not only dust and small debris, but also wool, threads and hair, a small nozzle for dry cleaning of upholstered furniture, a narrow crevice nozzle and two washing nozzles - small for furniture and large for floors.

For more convenient use, there are compartments on the body for storing attachments, a long 8-meter cord with automatic rewind, as well as the possibility of vertical parking for compact storage.
