Is a separator-type vacuum cleaner a “panacea” for dust?

Choosing an "automated assistant" for cleaning an apartment or house, the buyer is likely to come across various types of gadgets unknown to him earlier. These "strangers" are likely to be classified as vacuum cleaners with a separator-type aquafilter. What is the main principle of their work? What characteristics of these devices distinguish them and distinguish them from traditional analogs? How to choose the separator type vacuum cleaner wisely, which will greatly facilitate the routine of the hostess, and will not bring additional difficulties to it? The following article will “reveal the cards” of manufacturers claiming enhanced functionality and high-class cleaning performance using separator vacuums.

What it is

Based on the name, household gadgets with a separator type filter in the course of their work imply the delimitation of dust particles, liquid contaminants, and garbage collected by them, depending on their specific gravity and density. This becomes possible due to the action of centrifugal force, laid down by the manufacturers as the basis for the principle of operation of the devices in question.

Various types of contaminants are sucked up by a vacuum cleaner through a functional hose with a strong air stream. Once inside the mechanism, debris and dust particles enter the aquafilter. The filter of this variety is a reservoir with water and is the main cleaning element in the design of household devices for cleaning the room. The cleaning process of separator vacuum cleaners involves high-speed rotation of water - from 24-36 thousand revolutions per minute. Due to the occurrence of a “funnel”, increased pressure is created in the filter, as a result of which large debris is instantly “screened out” to the bottom of the cleaning element. Smaller contaminants disperse along the walls of the water tank and begin to slowly settle. In addition to visible dirt particles, a vacuum cleaner with a separator-type aquafilter is able to eliminate even the smallest dust molecules by “bursting” air bubbles in the cleaning tank during the purification of the blown air. This technology is able to provide the maximum level of purity to the air circulating in the design of a household appliance (up to 99.997%).

The cleaning system under consideration implies high-quality cleaning of not only visible dirt on the floor, but also the elimination of the smallest particles that are potentially dangerous for people, especially those who are prone to allergic reactions or children with weak, not yet formed immunity. A good level of “processing” the premises is extremely important in these cases, due to the possible content in the air of all kinds of “poisonous” impurities, mold spores, harmful microorganisms, potential allergens, and so on.

Among the features of vacuum cleaners with a separator-type aquafilter, it is worthwhile, above all, to emphasize their versatility. Manufacturers maximally thought out the cleaning technology and provided the gadgets they create with the widest range of nozzles that allow the user to clean:

• carpet flooring;
• smooth floor;
• furniture;
• children's toys;
• curtains, tulle;
• bed linen;
• large leaves of plants;
• windows;
• mirrors.

In addition to the comprehensive functionality of the considered type of household devices, an equally important distinguishing feature is the moistening and a kind of “ionization” of the air during the cleaning process. In view of the record level of purity blown out of the mechanism vacuum cleaner air, the owner of a separator vacuum cleaner with a high probability will be able to achieve the elimination of infections in the room and bacteria transmitted by airborne droplets.In addition to eliminating pollution, these gadgets are able to create the effect of "after the rain" in the room, thanks to aquafiltermoisturizing the air in an apartment or house.

Among the obvious positive effect on human health, manufacturers, as a rule, give their household devices the option of aromatizing the air. Having chosen the type of aromatic liquid that you like, the user needs to add a minimum amount of it to the water purification tank. Thus, the air blown out of the structure will not only be as fresh, clean and moist as possible, but also have a pleasant aroma, such as needles, vanilla or bergamot.

Given the unique characteristics listed above, which distinguish separator-type vacuum cleaners from their traditional counterparts, it may seem that such devices are free from disadvantages. However, it is not. When making the final decision on the need to purchase this particular type of household cleaning equipment, it is important to take into account their inherent disadvantages.

1. Cost. Due to the huge set of positive properties and additional options, manufacturers, as a rule, inflate the price of their product, which makes it inaccessible to the majority of consumers in the mass electronics market.
2. Dimensions Given the complex filtering mechanism, it is not surprising that the vast majority of separator vacuum cleaners are huge in size compared to their traditional counterparts. This drawback should be taken into account especially by owners of small-sized apartments who have decided to purchase a comprehensive cleaning gadget, since first of all they need to think over the storage location of a massive “assistant”.
3. The weight. In most cases, women do housework, hence the logical requirement for vacuum cleaners: it should be light and maneuverable. Unfortunately, almost the entire range of vacuum cleaners with a separator type filter will not be able to satisfy this need. They can be called, perhaps, one of the most “slow” gadgets among all household appliances on the modern market. This characteristic is due to their considerable weight, most often from 7-9 kg, the reason for which is again the complexity of the design of the vacuum cleaner filtration system.

Yes, household separator devices for cleaning the premises are far from ideal, but can the above-mentioned disadvantages really “eclipse” the advantages? Judge for yourself.

Benefits:

• no need to buy replaceable filters in most cases (the exception is models with a HEPA filter at the output);
• air ionization;
• complex cleaning of the premises, including various types of floor coverings;
• "Extended" equipment, including a large number of interchangeable nozzles;
• significantly lower energy consumption during direct operation;
• a consistently high level of suction power throughout the entire process of "processing" the apartment or house.

How to choose

So, you have decided on the advisability of buying a separator "assistant" for cleaning the room. What initial data should become decisive in the choice of a household gadget?

• suction power (depending on the material proposed for the "processing" of the surface; optimally - from 500 W);
• the noise level created by the vacuum cleaner (optimally - 75-80 dB);
• cable length (ideally - from 5 m);
• weight (optimally - up to 8-9 kg);
• the volume of the collection tank (optimally - 5-7 l);
• equipment (the minimum number of interchangeable nozzles included in the basic package must be at least 5 pieces);
• availability of a warranty period of service;
• additional functions (indicators of overheating, filter pollution level, power regulators and so on).

In order to make it easier for you to single out your “favorites”, we offer you to study in detail the following review of the top models of vacuum cleaners with a separator-type aquafilter.
