The best dry vacuum cleaners in 2022

Wet cleaning is good and useful, but it is often not enough. Dust remains on the surfaces, which is dangerous for the respiratory tract. Vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning will help to cope with it. 

Dry cleaning is putting things in order without the use of water and liquid detergents. Brush off the dust with a brush, vacuum, remove the cobwebs from the corners, sweep – all this is it. It can be both a separate event and preparation for wet cleaning. In any case, it is important to carry out it often and efficiently.

How to choose a dry vacuum cleaner

When choosing a vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning, remember that you will either need to constantly buy consumables (bags) for it, or empty the container regularly. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, you should first evaluate the area of ​​uXNUMXbuXNUMXbyour home and the frequency of cleaning that you are going to carry out.

Vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning come in three main types: wired, battery (wireless) and robots. All are perfect for any space. For corded vacuum cleaners, the cord must be at least 3 meters long in order to clean without changing the connection point. 

Cordless vacuum cleaners are convenient, but you need to constantly monitor the battery level. An hour of battery life is an excellent indicator for such devices. 

Robots can even be controlled from a smartphone, they work according to a predetermined pattern and, thanks to their miniature design, can clean under a bed or sofa – they don’t even need to be moved away for this. But they tend to be poor at dealing with large debris and are battery dependent. 

How to choose a vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning, Healthy Food Near Me told eufy brand sales manager in Eastern Europe Vladimir Sobolev.

To choose a vacuum cleaner, you should decide whether you are ready to spend money on consumables for it in the future or mess with a complex container cleaning system. It is important to evaluate the area and flooring in the house, and at the same time estimate the frequency of cleaning. Household vacuum cleaners are divided into the so-called classic corded models, vertical battery and robotic vacuum cleaners.

The key characteristic that speaks about the effectiveness of a vacuum cleaner is suction power (not to be confused with power consumption). The higher it is, the stronger the vacuum cleaner sucks in air. Unfortunately, manufacturers do not always honestly indicate this parameter. For corded vacuum cleaners, the average suction power is 500-600 W, for vertical cordless vacuum cleaners – 80-150 W, and for robots 30-40 W. If the characteristics indicate abnormally high values ​​​​for this type, most likely, the manufacturer is cunning.
