Washing model selection criteria

A common feature of all Thomas brand vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter is approximately the same list of technical specifications, with the exception of some nuances. They are worth considering when choosing home appliances.

Models may differ in the following parameters or features:

• type of cleaning
• power consumption;
• complete set;
• the presence of an indicator of the maximum filling of the aquafilter;
• additional function of collecting liquid;
• the location of the control buttons;
• design.

There are only two types of cleaning - dry and wet. Most vacuum cleaners with an aquafiltration system are combined, that is, they combine both options, but some models are designed only for dry cleaning.

Brushes for wet cleaning differ in design: they are flat, widened at the bottom, equipped with a capillary water spray system with the possibility of simultaneous suction

The average power consumption is 1600-1700 W, however, there are also low-power models of 1400 W. With the same suction power, these are the best indicators for saving energy. Low suction power is typical for any washing models.

The package usually includes 3-6 nozzles with different purposes, spare filters and a bottle of detergent. If any replacement parts fail, do not worry - the Thomas company quickly supplies spare parts and consumables.

You can buy the missing brushes, spare filters, wipes, hoses in specialized stores and service centers.

When comparing different models, consider nozzle sets, namely, is there a turbo brush for a thorough collection of wool, a small brush for cleaning upholstered furniture, a tip with rubber bands for cleaning smooth surfaces

Not all models are equipped with an indication of the filling of the aquafilter. However, with regular cleaning, users will recognize the moment when it is worth draining the dirty liquid even by the changed sound.

After several cleanings, it becomes clear how often you need to add clean water. For small spaces, one fill and one drain at the end of cleaning is usually enough.

Filling the tanks with clean water or diluted concentrate (cleaning solution) is quick: one of them is taken autonomously, the second is located immediately under the lid

Some models successfully cope with the collection of liquid from the floor and other surfaces - they resemble compact household mini-pumps. This function, like the volume of liquid, is indicated in the instructions.

Control buttons can be located:

• on the body;
• on the handle.

The second option is preferable - you do not need to bend down and make additional movements to switch the mode or turn off the device.

Usually, the buttons for changing operating modes with different power are located directly above the water supply lever. After 2-3 procedures, the movements are brought to automatism, the confusion in pressing different buttons disappears

The same model can be supplied in different colors. If the choice of shade is fundamental, you should ask the consultant about the availability of various options.

Usually vacuum cleaners of neutral colors are always in stock, and non-standard models are brought to order.

Advantages of household vacuum cleaners with water filter

Devices for collecting debris and cleaning surfaces have a number of pros and cons

Comparing a conventional device with a standard fabric bag and a household unit with an aquafilter, the following positive points can be noted:

1. Air purity. Many people buy it because they are allergic to dust. When dust and dirt are sucked in, all particles remain in the water, thoroughly purified air comes out.
2. Constant power. When using a vacuum cleaner with a standard cloth bag, suction power decreases as it fills up. Before starting the operation of the device with an aquafilter, clean water is poured into the container. Even if dirt gets into it during cleaning, the power remains at the initial level.
3. Air humidification. Purified air comes out after contact with water humidified. Therefore, after cleaning the apartment is fresh and easier to breathe.
4. Great suction power compared to vacuum cleaners with dry filters.

Before choosing a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter, you should think about its advantages and disadvantages. Electrical appliances are recommended for families with children or people who are allergic to dust. They perfectly clean surfaces from dust, while it will not come out of the device and will not settle again.

But each time after cleaning, it is necessary to disassemble the household unit, rinse the water bowl, clean additional devices, and dry them thoroughly to avoid the appearance of an unpleasant odor or mold. Vacuum cleaners are bulky and expensive

Varieties of water vacuum cleaners

The choice of a good vacuum cleaner with a powerful water filter should be based on the type of element. The usefulness of technology depends on it.

Water filter hookah type

The cleaning system is similar to the cyclone, but it uses a water tank. The principle of operation is based on the passage of polluted water, the weighting of debris and its settling at the bottom. Only large particles remain in the container, small dust particles return to the room again.

The principle of operation of a hookah water filter

Manufacturers of hookah water vacuum cleaners are improving the technology by offering a labyrinth filtration technology:

• a container with water - dust and debris, getting wet, remain at the bottom;
• intermediate filter - crushing dust particles mixed with air bubbles;
• HEPA filter - delay of residual masses.

Important! Impurities with fractions up to 0.3 µm remain in HEPA filters.

separator filter

Models are equipped with an additional turbine-separator. When it rotates, a vortex flow is created that wets the dust and breaks the bubbles. Centrifugal force, acting on impurities, separates them from the air. Air masses in a purified state are brought out.

Separator type vacuum cleaner device

Separator systems are distinguished by:

• lack of HEPA filters due to air washing;
• full cleaning - dust, spores, pollen, mites, allergenic substances remain in the water;
• multi-blade turbine, which spins at a speed of 25-36 thousand rpm.

When using a separator vacuum cleaner, only 0.003% of contaminants remain in the air.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage that has already been mentioned is the possibility of wet cleaning of carpets and carpets, as well as upholstery of upholstered furniture, only carpets with high pile after processing must be dried outside. In this area, there is no alternative to washing vacuum cleaners, they are also indispensable during repairs: to collect construction dust, traces of wallpaper paste from the floor, to wash heating radiators - this is work for such products.

Benefits include:

1. Quick and easy removal of any contamination from horizontal surfaces.
2. Carrying out dry cleaning and removal of accidentally spilled liquid.
3. Filtration with humidification of the air passing through the product, which is especially important for asthma patients, as well as people suffering from allergies. The collected dust is securely held in the container.
4. The ability to wash vertical surfaces and remove dust from upholstery furniture.
5. Possibility of clearing small sewer blockages.

Many experts, despite the many positive qualities of washing vacuum cleaners, are in no hurry to call them universal equipment.

There are cons, but they are not so many:

• such a technique will not be able to remove dirt from carpets that have a dense and high pile;
• after wet cleaning, moisture remains on the carpets, and it must be dried;
• the product must be thoroughly washed after each cleaning, this procedure takes at least 20 minutes;
• they consume a lot of electrical energy compared to standard counterparts.

The conclusions are quite simple: washing vacuum cleaners easily remove dust and dirt from any surface, at the request of the user they can perform dry cleaning, humidify and purify the air in the room, wash mirrors and glasses, but the dimensions of the products are sometimes slightly larger than standard counterparts, so storing them in a small apartment is very difficult.
