TOP 9 washing vacuum cleaners Philips: the best models + what to look for when buying a washing vacuum cleaner

Features of choosing a washing vacuum cleaner

A kind of postscript to the rating - general information regarding the features of choosing a washing vacuum cleaner. It is clear that the design is different from traditional "dry" vacuum cleaners, and therefore the approach to choosing is somewhat different.

Tip #1 - Container System

For example, the system of working containers deserves the attention of a potential user. Washing cleaning equipment, unlike "dry", is equipped with two working containers, one of which is designed specifically for washing.

Here, the feature of choice is the design of the container system.The preferred option based on practice is the "two in one" system, when both working containers form a single structure.

A box with a Philips vacuum cleaner always hides cleaning equipment inside, which has certain features. Knowledge of the features helps to choose the optimal model for business needs

Tip #2 – Capacity Capacity

Also an important feature of the choice should be considered the volume of the container for the washing mode. The larger the capacity of such a vessel, the larger the cleaning area is covered by the vacuum cleaner in one cleaning cycle.

So, to clean (wash) the area of ​​a standard two-room apartment, the volume of the washing container is 2-3 liters.

A classic of the genre, still enjoying high popularity among consumers. An inexpensive and efficient home cleaning machine, unfortunately, is no longer in the circle of interests of the manufacturer, but still serves its owners properly.

Tip #3 - Other Important Criteria

Other technical criteria - suction power (not consumed!), air filtration system, a set of working nozzles - actually correspond to the choice of traditional "dry" vacuum cleaners.

Robotic cleaning equipment is becoming more preferable for users than traditional vacuum cleaners. First place in the ranking of washing models of the Philips brand is a clear example

Suction power - at least 300 W, separation preferably cyclone, working nozzles - the greater the variety, the more effective the cleaning.

When choosing washing equipment, it is important to take into account the peculiarities of your home - if there are a lot of carpets in the house, then you cannot do without a special brush for cleaning and washing them. Therefore, an important criterion will be not only ease of use, but also high efficiency of cleaning carpets.We also recommend reading our other article, where we detail the operating rules for caring for washing vacuum cleaners.

FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3

The design is traditional, albeit a little outdated, with three standard nozzles included. Extremely simple operation, the brush easily switches from floor mode to carpet mode. Wet cleaning is very effective, water does not flow out of the device, but settles in the depth of the aquafilter. As a result, wet stains do not remain on the floor. Both cold and warm water can be poured into the water tank, up to the desired level (Working WATER LEVEL).

The main drawback of the vacuum cleaner is that it is bulky and clumsy, and the noise level is not for the faint of heart: up to 78 dB.

• effective cleaning of floors and carpets;
• removal of pet hair;
• the presence of a capacious aquafilter;
• soft start;
• turbofiltration technology;
• the ability to collect liquid;
• low price.

• making loud noises;
• weighs a lot, large.

How to choose a washing vacuum cleaner

So, you have decided to purchase a multifunctional miracle unit that will help you keep your apartment or house clean. Much depends on the taste preferences of the buyer, but there are basic parameters that must be taken into account:

• power. For domestic use of the device, the suction index of 0.3-0.4 kW is considered optimal. This is enough for a thorough cleaning of a small or medium-sized room. As for power consumption, the average is 1.5 kW. Tiny handheld cordless battery powered models are relatively low power;
• filters. A good vacuum cleaner not only absorbs dirt, but also purifies the air. An excellent option is devices with HEPA cartridges;
• a set of brush heads;
• water tank, its capacity;
• additional security functionality (soft start function, overheating protection);
• ease of maintenance. The specificity of washing vacuum cleaners is that they require regular maintenance. Otherwise, the formation of mold, dirty deposits and unpleasant odors cannot be avoided. Therefore, the degree of complexity of care is so important.

When choosing, you need to carefully study the technical specifications, if possible, see photos and videos with a detailed review.

Types of washing vacuum cleaners

Depending on the type of dust collector, such models are distinguished;

• bag. After dry cleaning, the dust is collected in a cloth or paper bag. This design is similar to the usual model;
• container. The garbage is collected in a dust collector made of transparent plastic. To empty the container, it is enough to remove it and shake out the compressed dust;
• container filled with water. Garbage and dust, being wetted, do not get outside and linger in the container. The disadvantage of such devices is a large mass.

Guidelines for choosing upright vacuum cleaners

When choosing an upright vacuum cleaner with a wet cleaning function, you need to consider many factors:

• the area of ​​the processed premises;
• characteristics of floor coverings;
• the expected nature of pollution;
• number of storeys of the room in which cleaning is performed, etc.

Obviously, in an apartment where a family with small children, a cat and a dog lives, cleaning tasks will be more difficult than in a bachelor's house or in a regular office.Stubborn dirt is best removed with steam or hot water.

Not all units of this type cope with fleecy coatings. If the house has upholstered furniture, it is better to give preference to appliances that have the appropriate nozzle. For car owners, a small vacuum cleaner with a removable module and a rechargeable battery is suitable.

To clean the surface of upholstered furniture or car interiors, it is convenient to use a removable module. In some models, a separate nozzle is designed for this purpose.

In a two-three-story house or a multi-level apartment, it will be difficult to manage a heavy vertical model.

You need to pay attention to units with less weight, which are easy to carry.

Some models of upright vacuum cleaners weigh several kilograms, they will be difficult to carry up the stairs to another floor or level

A short wire can be an unpleasant surprise after purchase. It is inconvenient to interrupt cleaning to find a new outlet to connect the vacuum cleaner.

A long power cable allows you to clean a large area, but can get in the way while cleaning. The fixing mount partly solves the problem

When the decision on the type of model is made, it makes sense to consider its characteristics in more detail.

Do not confuse power consumption and suction. The former is reflected in your energy bills and will be much higher for models with a steam or hot water function.

For really high-quality cleaning, it is better to choose a washing vacuum cleaner model, the nozzle of which can handle corners, baseboards and other difficult places.

Suction power is responsible for the quality of cleaning. The higher it is, the more dust and various debris will be moved to the dust collector of the device.Even if the device is designed to clean wool, hair, thread and other similar materials, it is worth getting acquainted with customer reviews about this.

Small mats are a problem for models designed only for smooth surfaces. It is better to take this point into account in advance and either remove the carpets or buy a suitable vacuum cleaner.

Sometimes long debris wraps around the brush rollers, you have to stop cleaning and release the work items. Before buying, you should also familiarize yourself with the rules of operation and the procedure for caring for the device.

Many washing units should only be used with the addition of a special defoamer for vacuum cleaners, which prevents clogging of the pre-motor filter.

The dimensions of an upright vacuum cleaner do not always allow it to completely clean the surface under furniture, in this case an alternative will be needed

Almost every washing vacuum cleaner after cleaning needs to be disassembled, washed and dried. This applies to internal water tanks as well as filter elements.

If the house has a lot of carpets, it is better to choose a washing vacuum cleaner that is designed to handle such carpets and smooth surfaces.

Finally, you should evaluate the cost of maintaining the vacuum cleaner. Filters need to be replaced periodically, rollers and brushes also gradually wear out. Even before buying, you need to clarify the prices for such items, as well as the possibility of acquiring them.

Which washing vacuum cleaner is better to buy

If we talk about brands, then the best manufacturer is without a doubt the German brand Thomas. The quality of its equipment has been tested by millions of customers around the world and not a single person who preferred a company from Germany was disappointed.However, unfortunately, there are no vertical and robotic washing models in the assortment of this brand. Therefore, we have included in the ranking of the best washing vacuum cleaners several excellent solutions produced by other manufacturers. Among vertical devices, we advise you to take a closer look at Bissel 17132, and among robots, a solution from the Russian brand Kitfort will be a great choice.

Thomas Mokko XT

Sixth place is occupied by a powerful vacuum cleaner from the German company "Thomas" - Thomas Mokko XT. The unit has a number of advantages: a record suction power of 320 W, a proprietary Bypass-Power motor, an aquafilter and the ability to collect spilled liquid. Differs in maneuverability and a possibility of turn on 360 degrees. The set includes nozzles for all occasions (for floor, carpet, spray, crevice, upholstery, etc.) and three liquid reservoirs.

Thanks to the presence of "AquaBox" cleaning becomes even more efficient. The device features THOMAS WET-JET dust and debris suppression technology. During the cleaning process, dust particles mix with water and settle in it, remaining in the Aquabox. As a result, dirty water can be thrown out along with settled debris, and a separate dust bag is not needed at all. The fine filter traps airborne debris, allergens, deodorizes and refreshes the room.

This is a vacuum cleaner for those who want to save time on dry and wet cleaning, carrying out "two in one" at once.
