Graceful Cleaning Assistant - Vertical Battery Vacuum Cleaner

Periodic cleaning of the apartment gives the hostess little pleasure - this is routine work, but it must be done. Manufacturers decided to brighten up such cleaning and released a cordless vacuum cleaner of a vertical design, which turns cleaning into an interesting and even very enjoyable task.

Before, getting a bulky device out of the pantry was rather inconvenient, and the length of the network cable was only enough to clean one room, and then it was necessary to switch to another outlet. A separate story with the cord: it constantly gets confused under your feet, and your favorite dog, when you do not see, tries to bite it so that the unit does not frighten it with loud sounds during operation.

Now vertical vacuum cleaner, or as it is popularly called - an electric broom, gracefully moving around the apartment with your help, will collect all the small garbage. Lightweight and quite compact, the device is not suitable for general cleaning, but it will help you in cleaning up between the emergency events. If you are interested, then you can find out all the parameters and nuances of using such a product by carefully reading this article.

Why do you need a vertical vacuum cleaner

Such a product for the home fully meets all the requirements of a comfortable use, as well as the quality of cleaning. Structurally, this is a metal pipe with a convenient handle on the end, having an engine and a dust collector. A standard brush is worn on the lower end, weight, maneuverability and unique compactness allows the hostess to comfortably clean in any room.

Vacuum cleaner provides high safety of use, because the lack of a cord does not allow small children to get entangled in it, and pets will not be injured by electric current, trying to bite it, which happens quite often when using wire-type vacuum cleaners.

To constructively reduce the dimensions of the product, manufacturers produce a cordless vacuum cleaner with a folding handle. In the production of modern models operating on a battery, the following latest technological advances and advanced technologies have been introduced:

1. Fine filters of the HEPA class which perfectly catch all allergens.
2. The case is made of fairly durable plastic, which does not emit toxic substances when heated.
3. The brush has a rubber bumper that protects furniture polishing in case of accidental contact during intensive cleaning.
4. Extremely ergonomic control handle.
5. All models have increased stability - if you accidentally touch the product, it will not tip over, because the center of gravity is located at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner.
6. Cyclone filters do not reduce the suction power when filling with small debris and dust.

In terms of quality and reliability of operation, battery products are not inferior to standard analogues, but they are low-power suction powerwhich is not higher than 200 watts. The charger is the base where the product is parked after the end of work. Each model has indicators that inform the user about a low charge, and a system that signals that the vacuum cleaner is fully charged. It should be borne in mind that many products do not begin to charge without completely using the previous charge, this is necessarily indicated in the instructions.

Features

Vertical vacuum cleaners were created for cleaning industrial premises, their main advantage is that each unit was very powerful and was particularly manoeuvrable. Later, manufacturers thought about home analogs: they significantly reduced the size, equipped the device with additional functions, and launched the production of battery products.

From traditional counterparts, vertical products differ in design:

1. Firstly, there is no familiar body and corrugated hose.
2. Secondly, all the main technical elements are located in the pipe.

The principle of operation, despite the external differences, practically does not differ, the fan is mounted on the motor shaft and during active operation creates an air flow that removes dust and dirt from the treated surface.

The equipment is also identical: the main place is given to the turbo brush, which provides complete cleaning of fleecy surfaces, eliminating animal hair and small debris. Other nozzles are used to clean any surface texture. Like standard products, vertical vacuum cleaners are equipped with a wet cleaning function - such a washing counterpart with water tanks and special brushes for spraying and collecting liquid mop the floor and at the same time wipe it dry.

The vertical design made it possible to arrange the production of battery packs that do not depend on the location of outlets in your home, and their work is practically no different from standard products of the same design. A comparison of cordless vacuum cleaners with their analogs of a wire class allows us to state that battery products have lower suction power and a shorter working time of no more than 40 minutes.

Many, wise by the hostess's great experience, argue that this time is not enough to clean the entire apartment, but the manufacturers claim that the use of an improved turbo brush can significantly increase the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner and reduce the time for proper cleaning. In addition, many models are equipped with additional features: for example, the suction module is disconnected from the main structure and can be used to remove dust from hard-to-reach places.

The presence of an aquafilter allows you to better clean the apartment of dust, while simultaneously moisturizing the air environment of the room. Some models have soft filters, automatic sensors that determine the level of contamination. Such a device regulates the suction power depending on pollution and allows the vacuum cleaner to better treat all surfaces.

Kinds

There are several varieties of vertical vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning:

1. With a bag to collect dust and small debris. They can be disposable or reusable - the first must be changed, but when the model is discontinued, they will soon disappear from retail. The second must be shaken periodically - they are very durable.
2. Plastic container or cyclone filter. Such products are made of transparent plastic, which allows you to control the level of filling. They are easy to shake, and then rinse from dust adhering to the walls, it is necessary to completely dry before installation. Disadvantages: aggregates are large, plastic may crack, and finding a replacement will not be easy.
3. Aqua-filter. Air is passed through water poured into a special container. Such filtering allows you to completely get rid of any inclusions in the air stream and remove allergens.

Now consider wet cleaning products: The vertical-type washing vacuum cleaner differs from the above products in that it sprays the liquid in front of it, then collects it and sends it to the waste water tank.Such devices operate in two modes - wet and dry cleaning, they always have two tanks: for clean and dirty water.

It is not so difficult to choose a vertical type washing vacuum cleaner - the model designed for wet cleaning is more massive, but, unlike the standard one, more maneuverable. It is a little more difficult to choose a product for dry cleaning: the devices equipped with bags are quite light and miniature, but the question arises where to free the container from debris and dust. Products with containers are large, but convenient to maintain, so manufacturers are expanding their production.

Vertical units with aquafilters are the heaviest and bulky in the lineup, a water tank of 1.5-2.5 liters increases the dimensions and weight of the product, but there is a factor for effective dust removal, which ordinary products are not capable of. Therefore, it is the best, and its acquisition is extremely important for allergy sufferers and people who are especially concerned about their health.

Advantages and disadvantages

Battery-operated upright vacuum cleaners have many advantages over wired counterparts:

• lightweight construction and compact size;
• lack of a network cable that requires sockets;
• the operation of such a device is simplified, and there is no need for a corrugated hose.

In addition to the obvious advantages, there are some disadvantages:

• not all models can handle cleaning thick carpets;
• it is difficult to remove dust from under low-standing furniture;
• the sound effect is much greater than that of conventional vacuum cleaners.

The duration of continuous operation of the battery products is on average no more than half an hour, then the vacuum cleaner must be put on charge, which lasts depending on the type of battery: for sodium-metal hydride (Ni-Mh) up to 16 hours, and for Li-Ion (lithium-ion) - 4 hours. Therefore, when buying, find out what type of battery is installed.

All models are made in the 2in1 format: the general design is intended for general cleaning, and the removable part is used to quickly bring various surfaces in order: for example, sprinkled cereal or salt, broke a plate or glass - an electric broom will quickly help you collect small fragments or ingredients. For its storage does not need a separate place, after use it is inserted into the body of the main structure.

How to choose a vertical vacuum cleaner

If you have already decided on the view and decided to purchase a vertical vacuum cleaner on a battery, then now you need to pay attention to the main technical parameters and important details:

1. Suction power. Manufacturers often indicate the consumed similar characteristic on the box, and the one we need can be found only in the instructions. Compared with conventional vacuum cleaners, it is smaller - up to 100 watts, against 300-500 watts, but vertical ones have three modes of speed and a rotating special brush that helps to cope with various types of dirt.
2. The volume of the dust bag varies between 0.3-0.8 liters. When choosing, keep in mind that small volumes will often have to be shaken out, and large volumes will interfere with comfortable cleaning.
3. The mass of the product. The average weight of the vertical analogue is 2.5-3.5 kg, but in the model range there are both lighter and heavier models, mainly due to the use of cyclone filters.
4. Complete with nozzles. The larger it is, the better it is to clean, a turbo brush with a rotating lower part and a crevice nozzle, which allows to reach particularly narrow places, are in special demand.
5. Noise level. This parameter is not much higher for many vertical products than for conventional vacuum cleaners: for example, units with cyclone filters It is in the range of 70-86 dB, but it does not last so long.
6. The presence of a manual model. We have already said that vertical products are distinguished by the presence of a mini-vacuum cleaner, which, if necessary, is separated from the main structure and independently performs the tasks of cleaning, for example, on bookshelves or in a personal car.
7. Parking.As a rule, all models of vertical vacuum cleaners are stored in the same position, with the exception of those whose center of gravity is in the upper part, for example, Dyson.
8. Battery. It is necessary to choose a type so that it charges quickly. Li-Ion perfectly hold a charge, durable and quickly charge, they can be put on charge with any percentage of the charge used, but they are expensive. Ni-Mh - they begin to charge only when fully discharged, for a full charge they need at least 16 hours, but they are much cheaper.
9. There are only two options for the location of the base - there are only two devices for recharging a vacuum cleaner: on the floor and on the wall.

That's basically all the points that must be considered when buying a vertical model of a cordless vacuum cleaner.
