Which vacuum cleaner to buy?

[Nadeyka]

Dopleta, how do the cat and the dog react to your assistant? Didn't you get bitten? didn't you gnaw?

Nadeyka, I was already asked that question in the "Robots are coming" topic. No, they get along quite peacefully. Slightly jealous - I am very fond of him.

The first vacuum cleaner in my memory that really vacuums, and does not drive dust around the apartment - Thomson. A bucket of water (its volume is larger than any robot) after cleaning 3 rooms is overfilled (we have a cat and a dog, 3 times less than a cat, and 5 people). After cleaning, washing the vacuum cleaner takes 20-30 minutes. But on the other hand, I have cleaned, and not evenly distributed the dirt in the rooms! And when I am in the mood, I continue cleaning in the washing mode! (almost half more from the previous cleaning of dirt).
P.S. Repeated daily cleaning with a wet mop (sponge) is a matter of course.

And I have a Delonghi Penta vap vacuum cleaner, I'm very happy. Can be cleaned with cold, hot water, steam cleaned, and naturally dry cleaning. The most important thing is that all the dust is filtered through water, and this model has no consumables. And yet, unlike other washing vacuum cleaners, you can immediately do dry cleaning, and if necessary, wet. You don't need to pull out and replace anything like in Thomas, add water to the tank, switch the buttons and use it. Washing it is not very difficult, I like it. The only moment, difficult, but I do not consider this a disadvantage. Most importantly, when discussing vacuum cleaners, never compare a washing vacuum cleaner to a dry vacuum cleaner. They are completely different.

We just want to buy this. Literally 2 days ago, the sales assistant puzzled our choice, in particular, having informed us that the carpet after cleaning with this vacuum cleaner remains wet for a long time, and the laminate is generally swollen. Now we are all in thought.

I have carpet in all the rooms at home, so a vacuum cleaner is necessary. The choice fell on Delonghi Penta vap. After cleaning my carpets are not wet but damp, which is natural, I don’t wash the floors with it, but as an experiment I tried it, it washes almost dry, does not leave water anywhere, the floor is pleasantly wet. And do not listen to the sellers, they cannot test all vacuum cleaners. With such conclusions we can talk about all washing vacuum cleaners. I don’t regret my purchase. I wish you a good choice.

Thank you very much for your feedback. Now there is practically no doubt left.We will buy Delonghi Penta vap. The only thing I would like to know is whether it is worth buying this Chinese-assembled vacuum cleaner.

I have a Dyson DC 29 Allergy, a little expensive, but very effective !!!
True, there is one thing, but it is quite noisy.

I have a big dog. The vacuum cleaners were different: the wax is too large and heavy, the silent phillips does not give out the freshest air, everything is now at the dacha. Home bought a Dyson DC 23 animalpro. Wool is vacuumed at once! The air does not smell - shine! Although we still have a daikin cleaner, a big dog, however, you yourself understand)))) It makes noise - that's for sure, but that's why it is a vacuum cleaner.

[SOA]

SOA I don’t know your geographic location. But once again I want to emphasize that if you live in a latitude north of Moscow, then you should not buy a washing vacuum cleaner. Dampness in the house breeds. It does not collect water 100% from carpet, and even more so on sofas and carpets.
A vacuum cleaner with an active (turbo) brush does an excellent job with dog hair on carpets. About the water "filter": this is generally a fiction, it blocks large particles in the form of sand, but no fine dust. She calmly passes the water "filter" in a vortex flow with air bubbles

I have a Thomson in a detergent version. But even in the usual (water) version it cleans - to be stunned (at home a Persian and a dog). There is only one problem - to wash the vacuum cleaner after cleaning is often longer than the cleaning itself. Considering that in addition to a bucket of water, he also has several filters, I will not support the assertion that it carries dust around the house. On the contrary. Feels like the exhaust is clean. After him, no one in the house cleans with an ordinary vacuum cleaner (I had to clean it in the garage - we vacuum the car in the fresh air), the smell immediately smells dust (not from Thomson).

A few days ago, a paleosos (ordinary LG) burned out and it became necessary to buy a new one. I didn't think this was a huge problem! I read this entire forum thread - no clarity was added. Going to the store - to see - didn't help much either!
You need something light, powerful enough (there is a cat), also a carpet and upholstered furniture - I don't know if you need to take a washing vacuum cleaner for them, and it won't be easy anymore.
What to choose! ...........

Personally, I am a little against vacuum cleaners.
I have a Dyson with a turbo brush, a wonderful thing in fact, there is only one drawback, it is loud, but it cleans perfectly.

Recently bought a Hansa with water filter and turbo brush. How much dirt he finds in seemingly clean rooms ... Quiet, power-adjustable, compact. In short, fabulously satisfied.

[tanya123!]

tanya123!
Do you have a Dason that is being advertised on TV now? How much does it weigh and where is the dust going (bag, container)?
Your message interested me.

I have a Dyson DC 29 Allergy, I don’t know its weight, but it rolls around the apartment quite nimbly, the dust is collected in a container, I was honestly bribed by the fact that this container can be completely washed.
It suits me completely in all respects.

For a month and a half I was choosing a vacuum cleaner - I wandered around the forums, looked in stores. Finally, after much hesitation, I chose Philips FC 9174. I'm happy as an elephant. Powerful and quiet with a set of brushes. At home - two shaggy cats, carpets with high pile - cleans in flight, easily and simply.

I also chose for a long time and settled on Karcher DS 5600. I am very satisfied, the turbo brush is super. After cleaning, it is enough to pour out the dirt and rinse the bucket. I bought a steam cleaner for him, there was a promotion. Cleaning has become a pleasure.

I have an allergy to dust, and when I bought Thomson, I neotchushchal dust very good pelesos.

And we bought a washing machine Zelmer (Poland), a 4-year manufacturer's warranty and service in our city. Each vacuum cleaner is assembled by one worker and there is no worker's code. The price is almost 2 times lower than Thomas. There is also a dry dust collector (bag) and an aqua filter and for cleaning carpets with detergent. Happy this is not the right word !!! Cleans like a beast at medium power. When they opened after cleaning 2 rooms, the container with water was shocked! The water is dirty after washing shoes, but I don't consider myself dirty, I clean the house almost every other day, but apparently our old Vosh with dry cleaning did not stand next to the Zelmer washing machine!

For a very long time I chose a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter. The rest of the dust collection, filtration, etc. systems were thrown away immediately. Of those models that are with an aquafilter, I chose with the function of collecting liquid, as it turned out, not everyone has it. Then the next step was the size of the container with water.The simplicity of the design (here I had to get used to it at first) was already in the last place, since the volume of the tank is more important. As a result, after long comparisons, the Delonghi WF 1500 SDL was chosen and bought. You cannot compare with a conventional vacuum cleaner, cleaning the vacuum cleaner after cleaning takes longer, but this is a matter of habit. Now this is no longer a minus, as it seemed right after the purchase. But he has much more advantages. Before that, we used different vacuum cleaners, and only after that the air in the apartment is surprisingly clean and fresh after cleaning, there is no nasty smell that appears during operation. Garbage collects an order of magnitude more than a simple vacuum cleaner, the suction power is very strong. The ability to collect liquid saved a new repair, when the heating was turned on and the battery flowed out, everything that leaked was immediately collected with a vacuum cleaner dry, not a single rag could have dealt with it. I love it very much, its large size is the only drawback, because it requires storage space, but our pantry was designed taking into account the size of the vacuum cleaner. We clean it once a week, every day I sweep the crumbs around the table with a simple brush on a long handle. Whether I need an electric broom for this has not yet decided. I am 100% satisfied with the vacuum cleaner.

Now I can answer with confidence, you need to buy a robot. Everything else takes effort and time, and this is clearly not my case.

I've been living with Thomas Twin T2 for half a year now. Sooooo happy, although the life of the German car got a hard one - my repairs are almost overhauled and the dog sheds with redoubled zeal in the heat. Although I try to protect, as I can, the unit is overseas, but still he has to work wow! It cleans everything well, just have time to wash the filters, I haven't tried washing the Hepu, even though it says on the box that it can be washed. So far, I just bought a spare one, so that if it doesn't work out, I have something to replace it with. I really like brushing books (we have a library) and a laptop. Washes floors very well with shampoo. But the glazing on the balcony is not convenient to wash - it is difficult to turn around with it in a small space. In general, if it's not lazy to rinse the filters after cleaning, then I can recommend a German. Cleaning quality is good!

HEPA washes perfectly. only then it is necessary to dry (I even dry on a battery in winter). not too dirty and shakes out well if you knock on the edge of the sink (so that the dust flew into the water). I didn't like washing the windows either, but the tiles in the bathroom / toilet

Please tell me if it is worth buying a washing vacuum cleaner. We have laminate and tiles at home. Carpet in only one room. Now the old Samsung. He is already 10 years old. Doesn't pull at all. Now I am faced with a choice or not to buy a detergent? Or with an aquafilter. Maybe a washing vacuum cleaner can do something other than washing the floors? And further. After repairs, mold appeared on the wall six months later. I had to remove everything to the brick, and then re-plaster and putty. As a result, building dust on the wallpaper. And this is a bedroom and a 6-month-old baby sleeps with us. Any advice on how to remove the wallpaper?

If the wallpaper is dry and there is dust too, it will be perfectly cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. I will remember how they changed the windows in the house. Brick dust wherever you could.

And if you have one carpet - in my opinion it makes no sense to buy a washing vacuum cleaner. He washes the floors badly (in my opinion), the residual humidity is quite high, and he does not rub the floor, he just sprays and collects. I only use it for cleaning carpets (of which there are many, in four rooms), sometimes sofas.

Walls and ceilings are perfectly cleaned with a white mop, a white special nozzle for dry cleaning. Only if there is a lot of dust, you will have to clean up in several stages: "sweep" the walls, wash the nozzle, dry it, "sweep" the walls ... I don't advertise it, it's just that this mop saved me after the repair, when fine dust remained everywhere did not want to collect anything. Surely there are analogues)))
Washing vacuum cleaner - IMHO, a good thing. I have 1 carpet - at the threshold, a small one))).Laminate, porcelain stoneware (matte) and tiles in the bathroom (rough) are washed quite well (the walls are also tiled in the bathroom). There is no puddle on the floor. Exactly, for sure, otherwise the husband would not have survived this)))) The result after washing with a vacuum cleaner (with clean water) - on the tiles and porcelain stoneware as after a particularly thorough washing with a cloth + sponge / brush with detergent, on the laminate - as after thorough washing by hand ... In addition to cleaning the floor, the washing vacuum cleaner can also work as a regular vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter.

Shl to the question that the washing vacuum cleaner quickly gets tired of washing and in general it will stand as a dead weight. at the beginning of the topic, summer 2008, I praised the vacuum cleaner. opinion has not changed, I still do not want to buy another. Is that a robot in the appendage

[verunchic]

verunchic I think not worth it. Usually they will play with this bandurina and then it will stand idle. If your child is small, then most likely there is little free time, consider buying robotic vacuum cleaners. We have a corresponding Temka.

I will say this, it is worth buying a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter. This is a very necessary thing (despite some inconveniences with washing the vacuum cleaner after cleaning). And having already considered the models of this type available on the market and correlating their cost with your wallet, choose the remaining functions. I used to be a fan of Karcher with an aquafilter, and quietly dreamed of Thomas (who is with an aquafilter and washer). Carpets are carpets, but there is also upholstered furniture, and after watching the boy called (dry cleaning at home, the same washing professional Karcher), I realized that no one else will do it anyway, since you clean it yourself. And you will call the prices for this dry cleaning 4 times and the vacuum cleaner has already paid off. This summer there was a question about buying a new unit. A lot of new things have appeared on the market - for example, the Zelmer company - a budget alternative to the Thomas and Karcher. We bought model 919.0ST (the most complete set). To say that I am satisfied is to say nothing. He has both an aquafilter and a block for dry cleaning (if something needs to be quickly vacuumed). In addition, he washes and the process of switching between dry cleaning and washing is much easier than that of the same Thomas. Another huge "+" - the price of consumables (filter bags), they are 5 times cheaper than that of Karcher, and the quality of cleaning is no different. The price of a new vacuum cleaner is $ 120-150 less than Karcher and Thomas (this is when buying on the Internet, in the store the difference will be even greater).
By the way, after washing the floors, there is less water on them than after a mop.

I have almost 4 years of Karcher with an aquafilter, at first I was just glad, but I still look at the expensive Rainbow, I know that it is very expensive, but I cleaned everything with them, there are no alternatives, and I looked with the Karcher steam cleaner, consumables are of course expensive, prices are dancing from the euro, damn it, one filter comes out under 300 UAH.

k.alena, I completely agree with you about Zelmer. Why pay more when the vacuum cleaner does an excellent job with the task We bought on March 1 of this year, I just adore it, it collects all the dust, the air is clean, although I vacuum in a day or two, but the water is really dirty, where does this come from? trash

[Svetik]

For 4 years I have almost Karcher with an aquafilter, at first I was just glad, but I still look at the expensive Rainbow,

Give it up, Svetik, save money for something else. I have it, this vaunted Rainbow for many years ... Space technology ?! Not a vacuum cleaner, but a unique, world's best cleaning system ?! Now I only use it to knock out mattresses. I used to clean pillows with blankets in polyethyle. bag, but now I don’t do that either - I wash it. And I vacuum and wash my floor with robots, so I love them with tender love.

[dopleta]

dopleta yes, I have not tried already, I cannot master this, well, it is too expensive, but you need to read about robots, in my opinion, they are not cheap

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&Itemid=85&topic=2478.870 read, 88 pages in total. )))))

Or maybe a compact, reliable dry vacuum cleaner with a water filter is better? It often comes with a nozzle for collecting liquid garbage, I just use it to wash (collect liquid) rugs (I don't have many of them)

Since May I have been using this: Separator vacuum cleaner YES

I have been using this vacuum cleaner for a year and a half, I would be happy with it, if not, hoses fly out of the nozzle !!! During the third cleaning. We insert the hoses into place, but not the same, EU-but.I turned to the place where I bought it, while I was under warranty, they said: it's nothing, take it, we'll insert the hoses. I wonder if they had to change the hoses?

Oh, today was ...
I now have the second Thomas vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter - the TT has replaced the T2 model. The first vacuum cleaner was somewhat spoiled by a careless attitude towards it, so now it is waiting for the selection of some spare parts and moving to the workshop. But before buying a new vacuum cleaner, I read on one of the forums about an improvement invented by our craftsmen - to put an additional filter between the pipe and the hose - a cyclone for Samsung vacuum cleaners. This cyclone was successfully purchased and delivered. The bottom line is that large debris is collected in this particular cyclone, and the dust that the cyclone could not intercept already gets into the aquafilter. For cleaning in our apartment, this turned out to be the very thing - all the pieces of paper that my children generously litter the floor with, fall into the intermediate filter and there is no need to change the water in the aquafilter after several minutes of work.

And today I realized that to the Kulibin who came up with the idea of ​​adding Thomas with a piece from the Samsung, I'm ready to put down beer
The situation is as follows. It was necessary to clean up the apartment of a very old woman. Cleaning this apartment for many years consisted of sweeping once or twice a week. The floors in each of the three rooms are covered almost entirely with carpets. And so, I brought the vacuum cleaner, turned it on, the first movement on the carpet and I see that there is almost a handful of dust in the cyclone flask. Moreover, it is dust. In general, an hour and a half of almost continuous work in all three rooms, 25 times the cyclone was emptied and the aquafilter was washed 12-15 times.

If there were any "bag" type vacuum cleaner, the amount of dust raised in the air would be unimaginable. If there was no additional nozzle, I would have killed my Thomas in a quarter of an hour (even with a cyclone and a constant change of water in the aquafilter, quite a lot of dust passed to the hepa filter).

[Ira!]

Ira! Can you take pictures separately and the assembly?
and then while there is still someone to do, then you need to puzzle with such an invention! and Kulibin and I would have put up a beer for such an idea !!!

Natasha, the photo is not mine, but from one forum (I still need to wash and wash the vacuum cleaner to a tolerable look). This translucent bulb is removed with one movement of the hand, all the debris is shaken out of it (and only the finest dust gets into the aquafilter).

Now I will try to find what this filter is called. I ordered it at the Samsung service center on the Knyazhe Zaton, I don't remember the prices

🔗
there is a list of samsung service centers, you need to ask DJ67-00055 (DJ67-00055e). True, I have just read that it is precisely such a cyclone that "sets" the suction power and because of this, less water is sprayed. In fact, there was a lot of dust in the vacuum cleaner inside (it was taken over by the Hepa filter), but without the cyclone, I would change the water after each pass over the carpets (although, such cleaning is an extreme case).

[you pay money exclusively for power.]

My husband bought a kirby. I tried for a long time to find something good in him to justify the purchase, but did not find it.
First, when I went home after the demonstration, I just almost suffocated from the smell of dust from the bag. After our Karcher, the air is always so fresh, just the smell of cleanliness.
The second - a shitty bunch of all kinds of attachments, and most importantly - the large attachment is NOT universal, it is only for carpets. That is, it is necessary to completely remove it and screw in its place a hose with a pipe and special. floor brush, in general, all other small nozzles are attached to this pipe.
It makes a lot of noise, the cat is completely afraid of him
All this fucking bunch of attachments takes up a lot of space, and you need to store them somewhere.
Wet cleaning - only carpets, no floor
Wet carpet cleaning (loudly called "dry cleaning") differs from carpet cleaning with "vanish" only in that you apply foam to the carpet not with a brush, but with a vacuum cleaner.
During the demonstration, they lied that it was possible to wash the windows; after the purchase, another representative came and said that there was no such function.
The stench after cleaning lasts for a very long time, and in general it is annoying - it's not just a smell, it's a very fine dust that we inhale and it settles in the lungs.
Yes, I do not argue, the engine is fundamentally new (in Thermomix the engine is based on the same principle), but everything else is from the last century, and a vertical bag, and a bunch of nozzles, all sorts of pedal levers. Nichrome is not a modern concept, where everything is universal, simple, semi-automatic.
For such a price, they could have made a modern design, otherwise you pay money exclusively for power.

P.s. We also have Thermomix. For two years I have never regretted a purchase, every time I just am overjoyed!

[bluekitten]

bluekitten The stench from the vacuum cleaner is organic matter (dust) that burns on the engine brushes Sign of poor filtration of the vacuum cleaner
Therefore, I remain firmly convinced that the washing vacuum cleaner is pure marketing.
I prefer a vacuum cleaner with three s-bag filters, HEPA12 and HEPA13

The money is not there for power, but for brazen aggressive marketing. Vacuum cleaner at the price of Lada-Kalina ...
There is no smell of space technologies at all, the level of the middle of the last century ...

Recently bought a Hansa with water filter and turbo brush. How much dirt he finds in seemingly clean rooms ... Quiet, power-adjustable, compact. In short, fabulously satisfied.

It's been almost two years since you bought this dust. And how did he show himself and what exactly is the model?

I remain firmly convinced that the vacuum cleaner is pure marketing.
Better just a vacuum cleaner with three s-bag filters, HEPA12 and HEPA13

I remain firmly convinced that the vacuum cleaner is pure marketing.

Marketing or not - I don't know, but I don't want a detergent. A friend bought herself, she really wanted him, dreamed of cleanliness in the house ... so what? rarely uses it, she says, it's easier for her with a broom or a mop than to get this vacuum cleaner, and then wash it
I have a Dyson, he only has dry cleaning, but what a!
It should be washed to a minimum, the suction power does not drop, the filters do not need to be changed.
And if someone is especially worried about carpets, then I clean the carpets with the same vacuum cleaner with a special powder. How it works in dry cleaning!

It's not the same for everybody. I won't trade my Tomasik. Having both a washing and a simple (no bag) I will say that after Thomas it is really cleaner. And please wash my son's filter. I vacuum every other day, and carpets and furniture and floors. For 2 years, furniture and carpet soaps 2 times. The first time the carpet was washed, the water was terribly dirty. And Thomas's attachments are comfortable, a brush for furniture and dust, a long tube and a cord. Of course, I agree that washing every time is boring, but for the sake of the quality of cleaning I will tolerate. And remember how to knock out a dust bag: - \ bee

Indeed, whoever is more comfortable and better.
I am not capable of such physical feats of cleaning a vacuum cleaner, so the fact that Dyson has to wash one container (a small plastic piece) without any bends is very good. You don't even need to wash it, but this is fuu, I try not to allow this.

"And remember how to knock out a bag of dust In confusion"
Yes, it was, but a long time ago. But those who went through this byaka more appreciate the normal cleaning of the container, without any knocking out.

Better yet, I took out the S-BAG, the valve automatically closed at the bag, no dust, no noise, no dirt from washing. I threw it in the trash can and then took it out with the trash

What is your Dyson model? And what is its fundamental difference from a conventional vacuum cleaner? I also look at him in Stockmann, but he's expensive !!!

I'll tell you a funny story.
On Mondays, our water is turned off, so we have a small bucket of water in reserve. And then one fine Monday I decided to boil milk. She took out a three-liter jar of milk from the refrigerator and put it on the table, she herself went to put the cauldron on the stove. While performing these actions, condensate appeared on the bank. And so I take this jar in my hands, and it slides down, falls and breaks: o I stand in the kitchen in the middle of this disgrace in a stupor, thoughts are swarming in my head what to do, there’s just barely enough water. In general, Thomas helped me out, she collected milk for them, together with microscopic glasses, and washed the floor with it. And it all took a couple of liters of water.

we have Dyson DC22 Allergy Parquet. I wanted to insert a photo, but I can't :(
All Dysons have about the same differences from other vacuum cleaners:
- suction power does not drop during cleaning
- they are all anti-allergenic. Some have the word Allergy in the title, some don't. Probably, there are some deeper differences, you need to ask the specialists, but all Dysons have a very high filtration coefficient, they blow out the air much cleaner than they suck in.
- 5 years warranty for everything.
There are lots of pluses. But if you want to buy, then it is better to go to the company's website, everything is described and shown in detail there. You can call and ask by phone, we called several times while we chose. And we were never sent, polite

I have this 🔗, I'm happy as an elephant, there's a lot of litter from animals, especially from a parrot, and so this smart girl collects everything!
And he also perfectly cleans the rug in front of the door, if the choice of a vacuum cleaner had risen now, he would have chosen it again!
