Samsung bagless vacuum cleaners: top ten models + what to look for before buying

On the importance of understanding the characteristics of a vacuum cleaner

1. Motor power is not an indication of suction power. This force is called aerowatts. Aerowatts are affected by motor power, filter resistance, brush design and air swirling mechanism.
2. Ultraviolet lamps and antibacterial coatings - in reality I don’t work, but the overpayment for them is significant.
3. The wire should not get very hot. High temperature will reduce power, quickly render the insulation layer unusable.
4. Noise levels affect the health of the hearing organs and the nervous system. Ideally 60-68 decibels. Container models are usually the noisiest. Acceptable noise up to 80 decibels.

3 Hoover TSBE 1401 019

In ordinary apartments of typical high-rise buildings, it is very difficult to find a place to store large vacuum cleaners. Their owners should initially look at small-sized, but powerful enough devices that do not create difficulties in storage and at the same time provide high-quality cleaning of living space.In our opinion, the Hoover TSBE 1401 019 model fully meets these requirements. It weighs only 4 kg, its dimensions are comparable to a shoe box, but the working radius reaches 8 m, and the suction power is 235 watts.

To minimize direct user contact with dust, the Easy Bin Empty container cleaning system is provided. According to reviews, a container with a capacity of 1.5 liters seems to be small, as pointed out by the owners of furry pets. However, with the timely removal of debris, the vacuum cleaner ensures effective collection of debris, neither dust nor wool remains on the floor after it. Thanks to soft rubber wheels, the floor covering is not damaged, the device rolls easily, without excessive tension on the hose. It's just amazing, so inexpensive, but how it shows itself in operation!

Against the background of a conflict of interest among experts and ordinary users, the question often arises of which vacuum cleaners with which type of dust collector are better. To give a comprehensive answer, we have compiled a comparison table, where we examined the pros and cons that are characteristic of each of the three types.

2 Dyson V10 Absolute

It would seem, what difference does it make how the vacuum cleaner looks - as long as it works well. But it turns out that many current owners of the Dyson V10 Absolute at first “pecked” precisely at its space design, and only then began to look closely at the characteristics. The model really looks more like an alien weapon than a household dust collector. But I must say, behind the external attractiveness lies precisely adjusted ergonomics: the unit sits perfectly in the hand, is well balanced and does not cause fatigue.

In terms of efficiency, the device, although it runs on battery power and is significantly limited in time, is not inferior to wired vacuum cleaners, and in terms of the convenience of organizing daily cleaning, it completely surpasses them. Among its advantages, the reviews indicate a convenient way to remove dust from the container, high autonomy (60 minutes), powerful suction with the possibility of 3-stage regulation.There are also disadvantages: the lack of a flexible hose in the kit (can be purchased separately) and incompatibility with nozzles from younger generations of Dyson vacuum cleaners.

Criteria for choosing a container vacuum cleaner

In order not to be disappointed in the purchase, you should carefully evaluate the characteristics of the model you like. The following parameters affect the quality of work and ease of use:

• container type;
• model design;
• suction power;
• filtration system;
• the volume of the dust collector;
• ease of use.

Let's take a closer look at each of the above criteria.

No. 1 - the optimal volume of the dust collector

Units may have a conventional plastic container that replaces the rag bag. Their advantage is an unlimited service life - it is enough to clean the tank every time. Minus - a low degree of air purification.

More efficient - cyclone type dust collector.

In boxing, waste is separated into large and small fractions. At the outlet, the air flow is additionally filtered. Samsung improved the cyclone turbine Anti-Tangle

Bagless models are also vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter. Dirty streams pass through the water curtain - all the smallest dust particles remain in the liquid. Aqua vacuum cleaners are a great solution for allergy sufferers, but they cost more than cyclones.

No. 2 - structural design of the model

There are three options here:

1. Standard modification. This is a typical unit with a dust collector, a hose and a power cable. Advantages: high power, affordable cost, the ability to clean different coatings. Minus - limited maneuverability, dependence on the network.
2. Robot vacuum cleaner. It does all the work on its own, but the power is not always enough to clean carpets. The main plus is putting things in order without human intervention.Cons: high cost, instability of the quality of work.
3. vertical unit. The battery model is easy to manage, maneuverable, compact. The cost is comparable to the price of a conventional vacuum cleaner.

Disadvantages of vertical execution: limited work in time, low power, small dust collector.

A practical solution is a 2 in 1 vacuum cleaner. Long handle for cleaning the floor, manual unit for local cleaning of the polluted area

No. 3 - power and filtration

For effective cleaning of the apartment, a power of 300-350 watts is enough. It is advisable to purchase more productive equipment for spacious apartments.

The quality of filtration is important for allergy sufferers, families with children. Modern units are equipped with HEPA filters responsible for cleaning the air at the outlet of the dust collector

The higher the cleaning class (HEPA-11, 12 or 13), the more effective they are. It is better to choose washable microfilters - this will save on maintenance of the vacuum cleaner.

No. 4 - the volume of the dust container and convenience

The dimensions of the container indirectly determine the time of continuous operation. When choosing, you can follow the rule: the larger the area, the larger the bin should be.

Considering the ease of use, it is worth considering a number of parameters: the type of handle, the location of the control button, the completeness of the nozzles, maneuverability.

It is advisable to provide a basic set of accessories: cleaning of hard surfaces, cleaning of textile surfaces, dust and crevice nozzle

It is convenient when the power switch is always at hand. The maneuverability of the selected model is affected by the dimensions and chassis.Compact units are more nimble, and vacuum cleaners with rubberized wheels overcome obstacles more confidently.

Vacuum cleaner filters

The second important factor that needs to be taken into account before buying a vacuum cleaner for the home is the type and number of filters, because it depends on this parameter what air will come out of the vacuum cleaner, which means how healthy the microclimate in the apartment will be. Manufacturers may claim that their vacuum cleaner uses an air purification system that includes 7 or even 10-12 filters, but all this is nothing more than a marketing ploy, because three levels of purification that are in all models are of key importance:

Manufacturers may claim that their vacuum cleaner uses an air purification system that includes 7 or even 10-12 filters, but all this is nothing more than a marketing ploy, because three levels of purification that are in all models are of key importance:

• the first is a bag, container or aquafilter. At this stage, the main part of the dust is retained, but the smallest particles pass further, so air purification is necessary at subsequent stages;
• the second is the engine compartment filter, which protects the engine from dust and cleans the air from fine dust particles. Often the filter is made of foam rubber or other material with a similar structure, which can pass air, but traps fine particles;
• the third stage is the final fine filters, whose task is to completely clean the air before leaving the vacuum cleaner.

Fine filters play a special role, so when choosing a vacuum cleaner, they should be given maximum attention.

Fine filters are most often represented by one of the following options:

• microfilters of electrostatic type;
• HEPA filters;
• S-filters.

Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Electrostatic type microfilters are the cheapest option, which is still used in budget models of vacuum cleaners. Such filters are made on a foam, cellulose or pressed microfiber basis. They trap dirt particles, freely passing air. The degree of purification is quite decent, but still inferior to more modern HEPA and S-filters. In addition, from time to time such filters will need to be changed or washed.

HEPA filters are used in the vast majority of vacuum cleaners today, and improved options are constantly appearing with an ever higher degree of purification. This filter resembles an accordion, is made of fiber material, the holes in it are from 0.3 to 0.65 microns in diameter, so they can trap even the smallest dust particles.

The HEPA filter can be disposable and made from paper or fiberglass. In this case, you will sometimes have to change used filters for new ones, and the manufacturer indicates the frequency of such replacements for each model and different operating conditions. Permanent filters are made of PTFE and require only periodic washing. If you comply with this requirement, then the filter can be used for as long as a vacuum cleaner.

The efficiency of the HEPA filter is determined by the European standard EN 1822. In the description of a specific vacuum cleaner model, you can see designations of this kind: HEPA H 10 or HEPA H 11, HEPA H 12, etc. A number from 10 to 16 indicates the degree of air purification, and the higher it is, the better.Thus, HEPA H 10 filters retain up to 85% of dust particles, and HEPA H 13 filters already 99.95%. If you do not know which vacuum cleaner to choose for a house where an allergic person lives, then it is better to opt for HEPA H 13 filters, which trap both plant pollen and tobacco smoke. By the way, you can already find HEPA H 14 with a purification rate of 99.995% and even more efficient filters on sale.

S-filters also provide a high degree of purification - 99.97%. Can be interchangeable or reusable. They will need to be replaced or cleaned once a year.

Once again, it is worth noting that the three degrees of filtration described are the main ones and provide excellent air purification. In order to increase sales, manufacturers offer vacuum cleaners with a dozen degrees of purification: you will spend more money on a purchase, but the output air will be the same.
