We all know the feeling of freshness after rain, when one wants to open the window and breathe deeply. Modern technologies allow you to enjoy clean air constantly - just select the “smart” assistant in the form of a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter.

Types of vacuum cleaners with aquafilter

Despite the variety of vacuum cleaners with a water filtration system, all of them can be divided, depending on the type of cleaning system, into the hookah type and separator models. The devices are distinguished by the principle of action and efficiency.

The simplest option is the unit with a hookah type aquafilter. A vacuum cleaner with such a system perfectly removes large debris and dust, but, unfortunately, can not cope with microparticles. Despite the special tricky labyrinths in containers with water, dirt micromolecules fall back into the air. To combat this problem, together with the hookah, additional filters are also used: paper, coal or air, the purpose of which is to keep everything that the main cleaning system has missed.

Vacuum cleaners with a separator device work like a centrifuge. Turbulences of water and air are created, high pressure is generated, and dust and debris settle on the bottom of the container. Devices with such a filtration system are easy to use and have a high level of efficiency.

What to look for when choosing

As a rule, we choose a vacuum cleaner for a long service life, so before you go to the store, you need to think in advance which criteria are important and which are not.

  1. The very first recommendation is to pay attention to brands that have proven themselves in the home appliance market, as well as see consumer reviews.
  2. Power. The vacuum cleaner has two of them: the number of watts for consumption and for absorption. A high-quality unit takes as little as possible, and retracts as much as possible.
  3. Dimension and weight. The unit will have to be transported around the house, and this is worth considering. Some brands have a function of vertical storage, that is, the vacuum cleaner can simply be put in a corner or lean against the wall, which will save a lot of space.
  4. The technique differs in the way of cleaning: wet, dry and water puddles. Some models are equipped with all three functions.
  5. The number of nozzles and their convenience.

If wealth allows, do not save on a vacuum cleaner. For example, prices for German brands, to put it mildly, “bite”, but clean air is the health of our lungs.

  • Thomas CAT & DOG XT. This unit is not just at the top of the rating, in translation from English its name sounds like “cat and dog”.

Pros and cons of cleaning products

When purchasing a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter, we all want to achieve crystal clearness and freshness of air in the house. But, like any thing, such a device has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.

Pros:

  1. The system for collecting dust in water is very convenient in that you do not need to replace dust bags, or, as in Soviet devices, shake trash on the street from a fabric bag. After cleaning, it remains only to remove the container and pour the liquid into the sewer.
  2. The water filtration system prevents dust from returning to the air. This is especially convenient and even saving for people suffering from allergies or asthma, and containing pets.
  3. The ability to clean any surface, whether it be the floor, carpet or upholstered furniture.
  4. You can carry out both dry and wet cleaning, and even collect spilled liquid on the floor.
  5. The device can be switched to climate purifier mode and the vacuum cleaner will humidify and filter the air, which is extremely beneficial for health.
  6. Saving. Since dust bags for the device are not required, except for the purchase of the unit itself in the basic configuration, no expenses are expected.
  7. It is easy to wash the floors without bending down and without making efforts to wash dried stains, for example, from food.

Minuses:

  1. The rather big weight and overall dimensions of the device. It may be difficult to carry the vacuum cleaner through the sills. Namely, it is necessary to transport the device very carefully, avoiding splashing of water from the tank, in order to avoid short circuit.
  2. After each cleaning, the tank must be washed and thoroughly dried to avoid unpleasant odors during the next cleaning.
  3. The considerable price of a vacuum cleaner, which later pays off, since you do not need to spend money on replacement parts.The device is not industrial, and is not suitable for cleaning after construction work.
  4. You do not need to wait for the aquafilter to collect polymer chips, plastic scraps, or particles soaked in grease, wax. In the best case, you simply will not collect garbage, in the worst, damage the device.
  5. It is necessary to monitor the water level in the container, not allowing it to fall below the norm.
  6. When using cleaning products, it is necessary to install a defoaming nozzle so that soapy liquid does not get into the water.

It is important, when buying, take into account the maximum amount of area that will have to be cleaned at a time in order to choose a vacuum cleaner with the right tank volume. Otherwise, acquiring an aggregate with a small container for a large apartment or house, during restoring order you will have to empty the container several times and pour fresh water.

Most of the minuses are associated with improper operation of the equipment. It’s not just that a brochure “User Guide” is attached to every household appliance. Every unit - and a vacuum cleaner with a water filter is no exception - requires a special attitude. Often the quality, as well as the life of the equipment, depends on the person.
