Cordless vacuum cleaner – what is it? They are also called vertical, such devices have recently become more and more popular in Russia. The main advantage of this gadget is that the cordless vacuum cleaner, as the name suggests, works without an electric wire – from a battery. The wire is needed only for the charger, but it does not take part in the cleaning.
The popularity of cordless vacuum cleaners has already led to the fact that such devices have appeared in the product lines of many manufacturers of household appliances. However, such vacuum cleaners also have disadvantages. Judging by the reviews, the cordless vacuum cleaner has a limited operating time and is still inferior to conventional vacuum cleaners in terms of suction power. However, for daily cleaning in the house and the operating time without recharging, and the suction power is quite enough.
However, according to reviews of cordless vacuum cleaners, manufacturers find original solutions to cope with the problem of insufficient suction power. For example, they supply the vacuum cleaner with a special turbo brush – thanks to a rotating element with carbon fiber bristles, it literally combes wool and hair from carpets, increasing the quality of cleaning and negating the lack of suction power.
As for the operating time of such vacuum cleaners, it is different and depends on the operating mode you choose. If you use the maximum suction mode, then the charge of the cordless vacuum cleaner will not last for a long time – only for 8-10 minutes. However, in normal mode the vacuum cleaner will last much longer – about 20-25 minutes, this time should be enough to clean up a very large area.
Reviews of battery vacuum cleaners from users on various sites indicate that different models are well suited for cleaning both two-room and three-room apartments. However, if you need a longer operation of the vacuum cleaner, then you can find models with a much longer operating time without recharging – about 60 minutes. It should be borne in mind that the cost of such a model will be an order of magnitude higher.
If you need to vacuum a lot under beds or in other hard-to-reach places, then it is better to choose a model that can tilt more than 150 degrees. Models of cordless vacuum cleaners are very convenient, in which the suction removable module can be used separately: this allows you to vacuum, for example, the interior of a car or, if necessary, quickly clean up if something is scattered or broken.
It is worth paying attention to air filtration in a vacuum cleaner – this is especially important for people suffering from asthma or allergies. If the model of the vacuum cleaner assumes double filtration, then such a device will return the air to the room cleaned. If you have parquet flooring at home, then you should pay attention to the models that are equipped with rubberized wheels behind the brush – this will allow you to clean carefully and not damage the floor surface. In most models of such vacuum cleaners, the garbage container is not made in the form of a removable bag, but in the form of a container, which can be difficult to clean, since dust can adhere to the filter. To prevent this from happening, you can choose a model with a simplified filter cleaning – in them it is equipped with a special rubber band, by pulling on which you can easily clean the filter from dust that gets into the dust container.
