Vitek VT 1833 vacuum cleaner review: aquafiltration at a super price

Pros and cons

Possible advantages and disadvantages are considered when it comes to choosing a model of a brand you like. In modern conditions, Vitek offers a wide variety of types of vacuum cleaners. Each instance differs in size, autonomy, and other characteristics. The most budgetary and simple units among the Vitek line are vacuum cleaners with dust bags. The devices are easy to use and small in size. The main advantage of vacuum cleaners of the brand in question is quality. Dust bags in the range can be paper or fabric.

Classic set includes 5 items. Users can choose the appropriate bag option. In addition to the low price and the possibility of choosing filters, there is another advantage: the constant readiness of the device for work.

The disadvantages of these models are:

• poor dust capture;
• the need to constantly purchase containers for garbage;
• Difficulty cleaning filters
• unhygienic when changing reusable containers.

Vacuum cleaners from the Vitek line with a plastic bowl also have their advantages and disadvantages. A huge plus of these models is the absence of a bag. They have a system for collecting large litter. Its functions are to hold large fractions (buttons, hairpins, coins) in a special handle that is attached to the bowl. As a result, when the container is filled, the suction power does not decrease. The negative qualities of these models are:

• not very high power;
• the container for collecting large debris is quickly filled with fine dust, which reduces the functionality of this device;
• vacuum cleaners with a container make more noise;
• if the container is transparent, it quickly becomes unattractive;
• garbage with a small mass and a decent length (straws, hair) is poorly drawn into the container.

Positive aspects in a multi-stage cleaning system:

• a water curtain of atomizers retains almost all dust;
• an additional filtration system keeps dust residues in a state of drop suspension;
• the system has stabilizing filters that prevent the collected dust from settling to the bottom of the container;
• anti-allergic air purification.

Cons of vacuum cleaners with aquafiltration:

• large dimensions and weight;
• the need to clean the container after cleaning;
• the possibility of retaining particles with water-repellent qualities - feather, plastic, shavings, these elements cause clogging of the filtration system;
• there is a frequent flow of fluid when overcoming thresholds;
• in heat, bacteria, mold, and other pathogens actively appear in aquafilters.

Washing devices are multifunctional. Typically, models are suitable for both dry cleaning surfaces and wet cleaning. The Vitek line has a model that can interact with surfaces with steam. The main disadvantage of such devices is the high cost. Typically, such products are purchased for social facilities, places with a large crowd of people. The technique ideally cleans carpets, tiled floors and walls. Parquet, boards, natural carpets are best cleaned with vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning or gentle products.

Advantages of washing vacuum cleaners:

• wet and dry cleaning;
• the possibility of cleaning clogged sinks;
• the possibility of washing windows;
• collection of spilled on the floor;
• aromatization of the room;
• the possibility of collecting large litter.

Technological disadvantages:

• decent size, hence poor maneuverability;
• the need to wash the filters after each cleaning;
• high cost of special washing liquids.

Vacuum cleaners-competitors for Vitek VT 1833

The Vitek VT 1833 model is in great demand among potential buyers. But it also has direct competitors - vacuum cleaners from other manufacturers, which they look at when choosing a new cleaning assistant.

Below are the main competitor vacuum cleaners.

Competitor #1 - Shivaki SVC 1748

This machine is almost a mirror image of the Vitek VT 1833 model, both in terms of market value and technical and operational parameters. Accordingly, Shivaki SVC 1748 is one of the main competitors for the Austrian product.

An important technical advantage of Shivaki SVC 1748, which opposes Vitek, is its low noise level (68 dB).It should also be noted the larger volume of the aqua-filter (3.8 liters versus 3.5 liters), the presence of a garbage container full indicator and the longer network cable length - 6 m versus 5 m.

Competitor #2 - Thomas Multi Cyclone Pro

Meanwhile, the Multi Cyclone Pro model has a dust bag full control indicator, while the Vitek does not have such a “chip”. It is worth noting the lower weight of the Thomas design (5.5 kg) compared to the Austrian product. There is also a difference in the length of the power cord pull.

In addition to the presented model, Thomas produces an impressive range of vacuum cleaners with aqua filters. Their technical characteristics and ranking according to consumer reviews will be introduced by the article recommended by us.

Competitor #3 - Samsung VC18M3120

The product of the Korean company is distinguished by its low weight (4.8 kg), the presence of a cyclone filter, but it makes even more noise than the Vitek design - 87 dB. In terms of power consumption, both designs look the same. However, in terms of suction power, Vitek is more powerful - 400 W versus 380 W.

The Samsung VC18M3120 looks a little more compact, equipped with a power cord 1 meter longer than the cord of the Austrian model.

Among the working nozzles of the Samsung VC18M3120 vacuum cleaner there is the development of Anti-Tangle, the work of which eliminates the winding of hair, fibers, threads on the working shaft. There is no such accessory in the Vitek VT 1833 set.

Models with aquafilter

The company offers a wide range of models of vacuum cleaners with aquafilter.

One of the representatives of such vacuum cleaners is the VT-1832 B model from Vitek, equipped with a water filter (as on Samsung vacuum cleaners with a cyclone filter). Such a washing vacuum cleaner costs 5,940.0 rubles and has the most positive reviews

Owners of the VT-1832 model are advised to pay attention to the hose, as it may be damaged due to improper operation. The hose must not be bent and the vacuum cleaner must not be moved with it.

The VitekVT-1838 R model is a washing vacuum cleaner equipped with a water filter. The VT-1838 R model is also equipped with a capacious 3.5 l dust collector and a seven-stage filtration system. The price of the VT-1838 R vacuum cleaner from Vitek is 6,000 rubles, and customer reviews indicate a high level of cleaning quality with it.

As in the VT-1832 model, in the VT-1838 R the “weak link” is the hose of the vacuum cleaner (just like robotic vacuum cleaners). Replacing the hose is not difficult for you even at home. You can buy a hose for a Vitek vacuum cleaner in a household appliance store for 1,000 rubles.

Another representative of Vitek is the VT-1835 B washing vacuum cleaner equipped with an aqua filter and a HEPA filter. The VT-1835 B model has a suction power of 400 W, in addition, the vacuum cleaner has an additional liquid collection function, a 5-stage filtration system and turns off automatically when the container is filled with water.

A less powerful vacuum cleaner from Vitek model VT-1830 SR is equipped with an aqua filter and a five-stage filtration system, as well as a HEPA filter. In the configuration, the VT-1830 SR washing vacuum cleaner contains a large-capacity dust collector, which eliminates frequent cleaning. The cost of VT-1830 SR is about 5,900 rubles.Reviews of the model contain both advantages and small disadvantages.

Advantages and disadvantages

As for the benefits, they are as follows:

• Durability, reliability. The manufacturer uses high-quality materials, so that the vacuum cleaner will last a long time.
• Ergonomics, ease of maintenance. This vacuum cleaner makes cleaning easy. The technology is well thought out and comfortable. Cleaning it up is also easy.
• The presence of nozzles. They are suitable for different types of flooring.

As for the shortcomings, they all differ for different models. Some do not have a long enough cable or telescopic tube, others are too noisy, others are difficult to disassemble for washing, etc.

Competitors

As for the main competitors, they are vacuum cleaners from such manufacturers:

• Philips. They are maneuverable, multifunctional, have various innovative technologies, special nozzles.
• LG. They are distinguished by the presence of a special filtration system Turbocyclone.
• Bosch. Multifunctional, almost no noise.

You should also pay attention to vacuum cleaners from the company KARCHER. Quiet at work

But their functionality is limited. The devices are durable and reliable.

What is completed

The working set of the Vitek VT-1833 vacuum cleaner is classic, like all modern cleaning equipment. It includes the following:

• telescopic tube, its length can be adjusted;
• flexible corrugated hose;
• turbo brush;
• a regular brush for cleaning various surfaces (both hard and soft);
• small brush;
• narrow nozzle to clean in crevices;
• nozzle for cleaning furniture.

Thanks to this set of nozzles and brushes, you can clean anywhere in the room, in addition, clean upholstered furniture with high quality. The standard brush for hard and soft surfaces is versatile. The principle of its operation is that, depending on the type of floor material, bristles of the required length are installed. There is a special switch for this - it is located on the top of the tool.

A similar effect can be obtained using a turbo brush, although their designs are slightly different. This nozzle is able to clean carpets with a pile length of up to 1.5 cm.

The rest of the tools do not emit and are classic nozzles that are used to process furniture, crevices, floors.

In addition, the kit includes special spare parts for filtration. They are used for finer purification of the air at the outlet of the device. As a result, there is no dust smell.

Best 2 in 1 cordless vacuum cleaners (vertical + manual)

A very interesting category. Models of this class are at the intersection of compact handheld vacuum cleaners and vertical devices, which we considered above. The design is simple to disgrace - there is a hand-held vacuum cleaner and a kind of "extension stick", which does nothing but convenience.

With such a bundle, it is convenient to perform complex, but not final cleaning. For example, you vacuumed the floors with a complete unit, and then simply disconnected the hand part and went to clean window sills, shelves and the like. Also, a handheld vacuum cleaner is useful when cleaning the car interior. In general, the design is very interesting and convenient.The only thing to consider is the low suction power. If this does not bother you, you are welcome to the traditional rating.

Appearance

The robot vacuum cleaner has a traditional tablet shape, the overall dimensions of the body are as follows: 280 * 280 * 88 millimeters. Not the most compact, even height. Weight VITEK VT-1801 is 1.8 kilograms.

The case is made of matte black plastic. On the front panel there is a dustbin cover, a brand logo, as well as a charging/vacuum cleaner operation indicator.

View from above

When viewing the robot from the front, we see a protective bumper, there are ventilation holes on the back and sides, an ON / OFF power button, as well as a socket for connecting the AC adapter and directly charging the battery of the robot vacuum cleaner from the mains.

Front view

We turn over the VITEK VT-1801 model. On the back of the robot vacuum cleaner on the bottom are drive wheels, a swivel roller, a battery compartment, fall protection sensors, two side brushes and a suction nozzle

It is important to consider that the side brushes are not interchangeable (one is left, the other is right), and require correct installation.

Bottom view

So, we have described the design and device of the VITEK VT-1801, then we propose to consider its main technical data.

How to choose the best model?

The vacuum cleaner will become the best assistant only when you choose it correctly.

To do this, you need to pay attention to such characteristics

Dust collector type. First of all, the type of dust collector is determined. It is best to collect and retain dirt aggregates with an aquafilter. But they are the most massive and cumbersome.

Compact cyclonic vacuum cleaners are very efficient, do not lose suction power when filling a glass.But when cleaning them, you have to come into contact with dust and dirt collected in the bowl. Cleaning appliances with bags is much easier, but as the container fills up, their power is lost.

When choosing the type of dust collector, you need to take into account all the strengths and weaknesses of each of the possible options.

Device power. In the technical specifications, the manufacturer indicates two types of power: nominal and suction. The first varies from 1500 to 3000 watts. This is the power consumed by the device. The larger the number, the higher the power consumption of the device.

Suction power indicates how efficiently the device will work. A value of 300 watts is considered normal. If it is higher, then the unit will remove not only dust, but also debris and wool without any problems.

The volume of the dust container. It is desirable that it be as large as possible. For units with a bag, this is especially true, since it is wasteful to change disposable containers too often. In other cases, the capacity of the container is also important. If it is small, during cleaning it may be necessary to clean the container, which is not very convenient.

A filter system has been developed for each vacuum cleaner model. Before buying, you need to find out where you can buy such a set and how much it costs.

Cleaning system. The air sucked in by the device is passed through several filters and returned to the room.

It is important that it be clean. Therefore, multi-stage filtration is carried out, in which conventional mechanical, water and cyclone filters are used.

It is optimal that a HEPA type filter be present. It purifies the air from microparticles of pollution.

You need to know that such filters need to be replaced as they become dirty.

It is important to find out how easy it is to find replacement parts and their cost. There are HEPA filters that can be washed with water.

This greatly extends their service life.

Comfort of use. To make the device convenient to use, you need to take into account important "little things". The suction pipe must be telescopic, so it can be adjusted to suit your height. It is optimal that it be metal, this will last longer.

It is worth considering the length of the cord. If it is short, when cleaning large rooms, you will have to plug it into different outlets. Convenient foot buttons for activation and cord winding. They can be used without bending over.

In order not to get tired during cleaning, you need to choose the most convenient vacuum cleaner model: a telescopic pipe with the ability to adjust the length, foot control buttons, etc.

Equipment and parking system. It is optimal that the unit is equipped with the maximum number of nozzles. It can be a large brush that works in floor / carpet modes, nozzles for cleaning gaps and upholstered furniture, a turbo brush for removing wool and hair from the carpet.

It is convenient if the manufacturer has provided a special compartment to accommodate all the nozzles. The vertical parking system allows you to store the unit as compactly as possible.

Advantages of Vitek vacuum cleaners

The choice of a Vitek vacuum cleaner is due to its following advantages:

• ease of operation. All Vitek units can be easily turned on and off. The cord rewinds automatically. A special indicator signals the filling level of the dust collector;
• set of brushes and nozzles. They allow you to clean the most contaminated surfaces in hard-to-reach places well;
• efficient filtration.Using Modern Filters HEPA ensures the capture of even the smallest contaminants;
• long service life. Modern Vitek appliances are characterized by high strength, wear resistance and durability due to the use of proven materials;
• economy and low noise. The units are energy efficient and are distinguished by low noise, causing a minimum of discomfort;
• moderate cost. Affordable prices cause a high demand for devices from this manufacturer.

Vacuum Cleaner Instructions

Before each regular cleaning, the device requires some preparation. So, it is necessary to separate the garbage container from the body by using the lock button and pulling the handle. Then two latches are pressed on the back of the container, after which the container opens into two halves.

Thanks to a convenient locking mechanism and a handle, the container module is easily separated from the main chassis of the vacuum cleaner and is also easily docked. After separation, the module must be opened into two halves

The container capacity (lower half) should be filled with water up to the “MAX” mark indicated on the body. The minimum level is indicated by the label "MIN".

It is unacceptable to use the vacuum cleaner without filling the container with water. After filling with water, the container is closed with a lid, which is fixed with latches.

The second (lower) half of the container module, turned to the side where the two latch-locks are located. It is thanks to these locks that the lower and upper halves of the container are fastened together.

Next, the container is installed on the vacuum cleaner, after which the device can be activated. After cleaning is completed, the container is emptied of the filled water and thoroughly washed, as with all container models.The design of the container, by the way, contains a holder where two sponge filters and one HEPA element are installed.

The degree of clogging of these filters must be constantly monitored, since if they are significantly saturated with dirt, the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner is sharply reduced. The manufacturer recommends cleaning and replacing filters, including HEPA, at least once every two months.

The contents of the container after the completion of cleaning work. As you can see in the picture, there is no dust in principle. There is only a water-mud emulsion, which will need to be drained and rinsed from the remaining dirt

During operation, the user is free to pull the network cable to the desired length. But at the same time, you should be aware of the restrictions on the length of the power cord. If during the process of pulling the cable a yellow mark appears at the output, the maximum limit has been reached.

Behind the yellow marker on the cable there is another red marker. This is a complete ban on further cable pull. When performing cleaning work, the Vitek VT 1833 vacuum cleaner is convenient to carry from one place to another using the transport handle.

The design of the handle takes into account the significant weight of the device (7.3 kg) - therefore, the part is made of thick plastic with strong support hinges. User practice involving household cleaning equipment Vitek company is filmed by many owners of the vacuum cleaner.

One of the videos, where the owner tried to scrupulously explain all the intricacies of the Austrian-made vacuum cleaner, is shown below:
