Choosing a vacuum cleaner

Buying a vacuum cleaner today is not a problem. And the prices for modern models of vacuum cleaners are different. One model is sold for the price of an iron, while another will have to pay a "tidy" sum. True, expensive vacuum cleaners are not always the best. In this case, how to choose a vacuum cleaner?

The power of the vacuum cleaner is precisely the parameter that affects both the cost of the vacuum cleaner and the efficiency of its operation. If the apartment is small and there are no pets in the house, which often shed, then a 450 W vacuum cleaner will be enough.

If the house has several floor coverings, then the power of the vacuum cleaner should be higher. If the vacuum cleaner has a power of 500 W or more, then they will easily cope with dirt on carpets, floors and animal hair. However, the power directly depends on the pollution of the filter and the filling of the dust container. Therefore, you often need them clean.

I must say that modern models of vacuum cleaners are divided into 3 categories: vacuum cleaners for dry, wet and combined cleaning. If the vacuum cleaner belongs to the simplest models, then it is able to remove dry dirt from the floor, clothes, curtains, carpets. Don't like cleaning floors? In this case, a washing vacuum cleaner will come in handy. This model is capable of performing both dry and wet cleaning of premises, and also copes with dust and cleaning furniture. Wet cleaning with a vacuum cleaner is sufficient once a week.

No matter how good the washing vacuum cleaners are, they have a number of unpleasant moments. These include excessively high cost and large size. But such vacuum cleaners can wash windows and even clean clogged sinks.

Cleaning the vacuum cleaner directly depends on the device of the dust collector, into which all the collected dust settles. So:

- The disposable paper bag is thrown away after filling. This is a very good quality. True, this method cannot be called economical, because such bags will have to be bought from time to time, and they, as you know, cost money.

- The reusable cloth bag does not hold dust as well as the paper bag, but its lifespan is quite long.

- The plastic container allows dust to be collected in a tight lump, which can then be easily cleaned. If a model of a vacuum cleaner is equipped with such a container, then its suction power is not too high, and such a vacuum cleaner makes much more noise.

Therefore, the ideal variant is a vacuum cleaner with combined dust collectors, thanks to which you can change fabric and paper bags if necessary.

As for the filters for vacuum cleaners, they are different and depend on the model of the vacuum cleaner. If the family has allergies, then it is best to choose a vacuum cleaner with a steam generator. This is a fairly progressive model that allows you to disinfect any surface, as well as get rid of mold and small dust particles.

No matter how expensive and ideal a vacuum cleaner is, however, if it makes a lot of noise, then cleaning turns into torment. Especially if there are animals and small children in the house. I must say that the maximum permissible noise level is considered to be noise up to 80 dB. But in practice, often everything does not work out as required by the norms.

Therefore, before buying a vacuum cleaner be sure to turn on the device and check its noise level. If you feel discomfort during the operation of the vacuum cleaner, then you should refuse to buy such a vacuum cleaner.
