The best car vacuum cleaners: a dozen models + what to look for when buying a car vacuum cleaner

What are car vacuum cleaners

Functionality

According to their capabilities, car vacuum cleaners are divided according to the type of cleaning - dry or wet:

Wet cleaning is necessary if liquid dirt accumulates on the floor (for example, melted snow that was shaken off your feet in the cabin)

Vacuum cleaners of this type are not very in demand, as they have large dimensions and weight.
Dry cleaning is a typical procedure for most modern car vacuum cleaners.
It is important that the hose is flexible and long, with the ability to crawl through narrowness where no nozzle can reach.
The length of the cord is also important. Two-meter wire is only suitable for compact cars

For an SUV, the smallest wire size is 3 meters, although for convenience it is much better to purchase a longer cable. If it is difficult to find an electrical wire of the required length, it is better not to bother with it by purchasing a wireless device.

Filter type

For car vacuum cleaner
Types of car vacuum cleaner filters:

1. Paper. Dust entering the vacuum cleaner is collected in a special bag. Such units are already considered yesterday, because the filter is easily clogged and difficult to clean.
2. Cyclonic. This is an excellent filter that effectively purifies the air in the car and is easy to clean. In order to get rid of accumulated debris, just shake off the filter. The name "cyclone" comes from the type of work - the air in the filter moves in a spiral, causing dust to settle on the walls. The level of fullness of the container with garbage does not affect the amount of dust sucked in and the cleanliness of cleaning. The main disadvantage is that to clean the container, you need to wear gloves and come into contact with dust in the process of throwing garbage and washing the container.
3. Aquafilter. Not a bad idea, giving an excellent result in cleaning the interior of dust.However, the vacuum cleaner itself with a filter of this type is heavy and poorly maneuverable.
4. HEPA. High-quality vacuum cleaners that clean heavy dust and microorganisms are considered an excellent solution for allergy sufferers.

Source of power

Vacuum cleaner with transparent filter

Cordless Autonomous Car Vacuum Cleaner

good reasons:

1. There are no wires and no restrictions associated with them. The wireless device does not depend on the length of the power cord and the presence of outlets.
2. It is much easier to manipulate such a device, it allows you to get close to the "secret" corners of the car, where dust and dirt accumulate. The disadvantage of a cordless vacuum cleaner is its massiveness. The engine itself weighs a lot, and the weight of the battery is added to it.

Classic vacuum cleaner powered by an electrical outlet

Power

In advance, you need to decide on the type of power source chosen. Cleaning the garage, where there is access to electricity, makes it possible to use conventional wired equipment rated for 220 V.

Take into account:

• motor power;
• number of filters;
• length, diameter of the hose;
• size of nozzles and brushes.

Price range

For Xiaomi vacuum cleaner
This position is very conditional, but for many it can play a decisive role:

1. Up to 1000 rubles. Budget models powered by the on-board network, with a modest net power and a minimum number of attachments. The dimensions of the device are small, allowing you to place it in the glove compartment. They can be useful for everyday cleaning, provided that the car is regularly cleaned by car cleaners.
2. From 1000 to 4000 rubles. Models are “middle peasants”, advanced, having average power and powered by a cigarette lighter or battery.They come with a storage bag, a large range of nozzles and brushes for processing various surfaces and materials. Hybrid car vacuum cleaners that combine the functions of a compressor and a lantern fall into this category. You can store the device only in the trunk. They are used for high-quality interior cleaning, but it is still recommended to subject the car interior to a professional comprehensive cleaning at least a couple of times a year.
3. From 4000 rubles. Universal models with a battery, suitable not only for the car. They cannot boast of great power, but they have a huge set of brushes.

The best vacuum cleaners with a dust container

It is necessary to choose the best cyclone-type vacuum cleaner between brands from Germany and the Netherlands - these are the products of Karcher and Philips, but also in this category LG equipment from a Korean manufacturer competes with them.

Karcher WD3 Premium	Philips FC 9713	LG VK75W01H
dust collector	bag or cyclone filter	cyclonic filter only	cyclonic filter only
Power consumption, W	1000	1800	2000
Suction power, W	200	390	380
Dust collector volume, l.	14	3,5	1,5
Power cord length, m	4	7	6
Turbo brush included
Suction pipe	composite	telescopic	telescopic
Automatic cord winder
Noise level, dB	no data	78	80
The weight	5,8	5,5	5

Karcher WD3 Premium

The main purpose of the vacuum cleaner is “dry” cleaning of premises, and a cyclone filter or a dust bag with a capacity of 17 liters can be used as a garbage collector. A relatively small engine power, only 1000 W, allows you to issue air suction power at the level of 200 W, which is quite enough for domestic needs.

+ Pros KARCHER WD 3 Premium

1. Reliability, which is repeatedly noted in user reviews - the vacuum cleaner is able to work successfully for a long time in various conditions.
2. The design of the brush eliminates the possibility of "sticking" to her carpet or other similar coating.
3. Versatility - despite the vacuum cleaner class for "dry" cleaning, it also successfully copes with the suction of water.
4. Easy to use - the vacuum cleaner has no operating modes - it can only be turned on and off.
5. There is an air blower.

— Cons KARCHER WD 3 Premium

1. Due to the large size of the vacuum cleaner, the entire structure seems flimsy, although users have not reported any breakdowns related to this. The “exhaust” air leaves the vacuum cleaner in a powerful stream - a consequence of the blowing function.
2. There is no cord winding mechanism - you have to fold it manually.
3. Small range - the length of the power cord is only 4 meters.
4. Non-standard and expensive garbage bags.

Philips FC 9713

Vacuum cleaner with cyclone filter for dry cleaning. The 1800W motor delivers up to 380W of suction power, which is enough to clean all types of floors. The dust container capacity of 3.5 liters is enough even for long cleaning.

+ Pros Philips FC 9713

1. Washable HEPA filter - does not require periodic replacement. High air suction power.
2. Additional nozzles included. The TriActive brush is not inferior in its characteristics to turbo brushes for collecting wool and hair.
3. A long power cord - 10 meters - allows you to clean with a minimum number of switching between outlets.
4. Compact size and good maneuverability - large wheels make it easy to move the vacuum cleaner over thresholds.

— Cons Philips FC 9713

The body of the vacuum cleaner accumulates static electricity during operation, so you must carefully remove the dust container.
Also, due to static, fine dust sticks to the tank - it is advisable to rinse the tank after each cleaning.
The metal tube for the brush slightly increases its weight, which must be held in the hands.

LG VK75W01H

Horizontal type vacuum cleaner with a high-capacity cyclonic cleaning filter that can hold 1.5 kg of dust. Equipped with a 2000W motor that delivers up to 380W air suction power. The 6-meter power cord allows you to clean large rooms without switching.

+ Pros LG VK75W01H

1. The power of the device is sufficient for cleaning all types of floor coverings and carpets with a long pile.
2. Easy removal of the bin for cleaning.
3. There is a power regulator with controls on the body and handle - you can set the optimal mode of operation during cleaning.
4. The vacuum cleaner is easy to move around the room, and large diameter wheels help to drag it over thresholds.
5. Value for money distinguishes this vacuum cleaner from many competitors.
6. Modern design.

Cons LG VK75W01H

1. Noisy vacuum cleaner, especially at maximum power, but if you need quiet operation, you can switch to low power mode.
2. It is necessary to get used to the location of the power regulator - it is easy to hook it during the cleaning process.
3. It is advisable to wash the filters before cleaning.

The best cyclonic vacuum cleaners

What to look for when choosing

When planning the purchase of an upright vacuum cleaner for the home, it is worth comparing several main technical parameters of the devices.

Power. If you plan to use the device as a full-fledged alternative to a corded vacuum cleaner, choose what is more powerful. But compare not the power consumed by the device, but the suction power. High suction power is within 180 W, but not all devices are capable of it. Sufficient for domestic use - 100-110 W, this is enough to quickly tidy up the floor in the kitchen and in the rooms. Very little - this is a suction power of 30-60 W, this may not live up to expectations.

Working hours. It seriously depends on the quality of the battery.And since the better the battery, the more expensive it is, the cost of a cordless vacuum cleaner with a capacious battery is usually much higher. When choosing, you need to evaluate how much time you usually spend on cleaning. If up to half an hour, most models on the market will suit you. If more - look for those that are equipped with the best batteries. Their capacity is measured in ampere / hours, the larger the figure in front of the a / h, the better. Look at the operating time declared by the manufacturer. As a rule, it is designed for normal operation. If you need the "Turbo" mode, the usage time will be reduced by 4-5 times.

Charging time. It is recommended to charge the device before use, and therefore the charging time matters. The average "saturation" time range of a lithium-ion battery is 3-5 hours.

Helpers. Conventional corded vacuum cleaners are equipped with brush attachments that help clean dust, lint and old dirt from coatings.

Wireless ones are also equipped with nozzles with brushes and rollers, but when using them, it is important to consider one nuance. If the nozzle is mechanical and the roller rotates due to the force of the air flow, it will reduce the efficiency of the device and reduce its already low power

Therefore, it is advisable to choose a device equipped with electric nozzles. This brush head has its own small direct drive motor inside which spins the bristles and improves surface cleaning without compromising suction power.

Filtration system. Technological filtration systems effectively trap dust and dirt inside the device. The air at the outlet is clean, and dirt does not penetrate the engine, which protects the device from premature failure.Most models use a cyclone filtration system, supplemented by a mechanical filter. It is optimal if it is a Hepa filter, which traps even microparticles of contaminants in its porous structure. In everyday life, a Hepa filter with an index of 12 is enough, the most advanced one to date is with an index of 14. If there is no mechanical filter or another one is used, the indoor air quality will be lower. And part of the dust that the device will collect will immediately return to the floor and furniture.

Dust collector type. It may be in the form of a bag or a rigid container. Bags will need to be changed regularly, and these are additional costs for consumables. The container can be cleaned at least after each use. And in this case, the cleaning quality will be as high as possible, since a full container reduces suction power.

Some models are equipped with a non-contact cleaning system, which is important for people with allergies to household dust.

Pay attention to additional options, for example, the presence of a backlight on the bar, which will help you not blindly clean, but look into every corner of the house. Or the function of wet cleaning - some models will help to clean and refresh the floor
