Important Features of Upright Vacuum Cleaners

The choice of devices of this type in stores is quite large. In addition to their appearance, they differ from each other in various important parameters that must be considered before buying.

1. Power. As a rule, it does not have a high value. The reason for this phenomenon is that manufacturers are trying to equip equipment with a small engine so as not to make the structure heavier, acting in this case for the sake of maintaining compactness. For most models, the power consumption does not exceed 500-650 watts. When choosing, it is better to take into account the suction power, which can be from 30 to 400 watts.The higher it is, the more effective cleaning, for example, a vacuum cleaner can suck up not only dust, but also small litter, grits, and cat litter granules.

2. Power type. There are varieties on the market both powered by mains and battery. Network models are convenient for cleaning in the kitchen, in the hallway and in rooms where there is an outlet nearby, although constantly switching from one power source to another is a dubious pleasure. In order not to do this all the time and have relative freedom of movement, the cable length should be at least 3–4 m. If you plan to actively move around the house with a vacuum cleaner, clean up the stairs, in the pantry, garage and other areas remote from the outlet, then It is worth considering the option of purchasing a battery technology. A full battery charge is enough for 20-25 minutes of work, which is quite enough to clean the apartment. And if you have a spare, you can not worry that the cleaning will be interrupted at the most inopportune moment. The most advanced and expensive specimens are able to function uninterruptedly up to 1 hour. The time to fully charge the battery is on average 3-5 hours.

3. Air flow is an important criterion in terms of saving you time. Maxim Sokolov explains that this parameter directly affects the performance of the vacuum cleaner. The more liters of air the equipment passes through itself in a minute, the faster the cleaning takes place. It is recommended to consider models with a value over 1000 l/min.

4. Dust container capacity. The larger it is, the less often you have to interrupt in order to shake out the garbage. For example, models with a tank of 0.3-0.5 liters are considered an alternative to a broom and are used when you need to quickly remove, for example, scattered cereals.That is, such a vacuum cleaner is rather an addition to the main one and is unlikely to cope with the full cleaning of the room. For long-term cleaning of the entire apartment, it is recommended to choose an upright vacuum cleaner with a tank of 1 liter or more.

5. Dust collector type. A plastic container is more economical than disposable paper bags and more convenient than reusable cloth bags.

Varieties of upright vacuum cleaners

Before studying rating of the best models vertical vacuum cleaners, it is worth knowing that there are several types of such devices. Each has its own merits and demerits.

Wired

The devices are powered by the network, that is, if there is an outlet, the vacuum cleaner can be used for a long time and uninterruptedly, this is the main advantage of this type. Also, power-operated units are equipped with a more powerful motor, which means they have a greater suction power.

Working from the network is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time, because the vacuum cleaner will not work without electricity, and the wire following everywhere entails the inconvenience of maneuvering.

Wireless

Network-independent units can be used everywhere, the main thing is to make sure that the battery is charged. But it is precisely this independence that gives rise to the main drawback of such devices - the limited time for cleaning.

Compared to wired vacuum cleaners, cordless vacuum cleaners are not as powerful, so their suction power is less effective.

When choosing wireless models, you should pay attention to the type of battery:

• NiCd - the battery has a memory effect, therefore, before the next charge, it requires a complete discharge of the battery;
• NiMH - unlike the previous type of battery, does not require complete discharge;
• Li-Ion is a more modern and durable type, for which the battery charge level is not important.

detergents

Vertical washing vacuum cleaners are equipped with container for clean water and a tank for collecting dirty liquid. Such devices can be wired, wireless, with the possibility of dry and wet cleaning.

The advantages include the fact that the vacuum cleaner can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also for cleaning carpets, glass, furniture, tiles, to collect spilled liquid. Washing vacuum cleaners also have disadvantages: high price and heavy weight.

Upright vacuum cleaner 2 in 1

Multifunctional and compact. Its peculiarity lies in the presence of an extending telescopic stick, which can be used at will. With a stick - an ordinary upright vacuum cleaner, without a stick - manual for cleaning furniture, shelves, cars.

As a rule, such models have a weak engine, which means low suction power - this is their main drawback.

Vacuum cleaners with aquafilter

Such devices are ideal for allergy sufferers, because it is important for them to clean not only surfaces, but also air from dust. Upright vacuum cleaners with a built-in water filter are distinguished by the fact that dirt and dust settle into a container with water.

Also, the advantages include air humidification, a high degree of filtration. At the end of cleaning, dirty water is simply drained. Cons - high price, considerable weight and dimensions, which makes it difficult to operate the device and store it.

Rating of the best models of vacuum cleaners on the battery

Below are five of the best battery models manual vacuum cleaners for home use, which are currently relevant for purchase.

Philips FC6408

The Philips FC6408 is a stand-alone, cordless wet vacuum cleaner. The suction power of this model is only 100W. This is quite a bit for a traditional device, but quite enough for a device powered by a built-in battery.

• The capacity of the dust collector is solid for this class of equipment (3.6 liters). In addition, a water tank with a volume of 0.2 liters can be connected.
• Battery life is only 40 minutes. But the time for a full charge is much longer - about five hours.
• There is a system of two filters: dry and wet. This makes it possible to almost completely eliminate the ingress of collected dust particles into the air.

• The kit includes five different nozzles (including one for cleaning in the cracks between walls and furniture, as well as in other hard-to-reach places).
• A distinctive feature of the model is that it can be converted from full-size to compact. This is done by detaching the two components of the structure - the lower and upper tubes.
• At the end of the lower tube is a round swivel joint that allows the nozzle to rotate 180 degrees.This allows you to clean even hard-to-reach places.

Samsung VS60K6051KW

However, due to such a powerful engine, the battery runs out very quickly - its charge is enough for only half an hour of battery life. However, this is offset by relatively fast charging, the duration of which is two and a half to three hours.

• Samsung VS60K6051KW does not have a traditional bag: dust is collected in a special plastic container. At the outlet of this container is a filtration system that prevents re-entry of dust into the air.

Kitfort KT-541

• The bag design does not provide.Instead, there is a plastic dust collector with a cyclone filter in front of the outlet.

What to look for when buying an upright vacuum cleaner

When choosing a vertical cordless vacuum cleaner, first of all, you should pay attention to the following technical parameters:

1. Suction power - from 115 to 150 watts. The performance of the equipment, the ability to cope with the main function depends on this parameter.Suction power should not be confused with power consumption, which manufacturers like to list on the vacuum cleaner box or body.

2. Battery life - from 20 minutes to 1 hour. This indicator determines how much area of ​​​​the room can be cleaned without connecting the device to recharging.

3. The volume of the dust collector is from 0.2 liters to 1 liter. The larger the dust container, the less often the user needs to stop work to clean the container. However, a dust container that is too large can make it difficult to operate the vacuum cleaner.

4. The filtration system will help keep up to 95-99% of fine dust in the dust collector. In most models, there is one fine foam rubber filter, which must be washed regularly. There are vacuum cleaners with several filtering components, HEPA biofilters are especially productive.

5. Noise level - from 75 dB to 92 dB. This is one of the most important indicators of the quality of household appliances. Noisy models are not in demand, buyers are more willing to purchase equipment with a comfortable sound level of a running engine.

6. Complete set. The degree of ease of use of the device and the expansion of functionality depend on it. The kit may include different types of brushes and nozzles for performing diverse tasks - turbo brushes, for cleaning corners, upholstered furniture, crevice.
