Recently, wireless devices that work not from a fixed power grid, but from a built-in battery, are increasingly appearing on the market. The advantage of these devices is their mobility, but at the same time they retain all traditional functionality. Cordless vacuum cleaners are no exception.
When thinking about buying a wireless vacuum cleaner for the home, most users are faced with a huge difference in the cost of such devices. The most powerful models are very expensive, so they are not available to all housewives.
But, fortunately, among the huge selection of wireless models there are units, the cost of which is quite affordable for a wide range of users, and the functionality is enough for full-fledged cleaning. This article contains useful tips that will help you choose the best wireless vacuum cleaner for your home, and you can choose the best model in our rating of the best cordless vacuum cleaners.
How to choose the ideal vertical vacuum cleaner
The main feature of wireless vacuum cleaners is the presence of a battery, from which the device receives energy for functioning. The absence of a power cord from the electrical network did not change the purpose of this type of vacuum cleaner, namely cleaning dust, hairs and small dry debris from floor surfaces. When choosing a wireless device for home cleaning, it is worth considering many different nuances that can significantly affect the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
The main value of wireless devices is that they do not limit movement. In other words, the user will not have to constantly look for a free outlet to recharge the device. In addition, wireless models can be used for cleaning street gazebos and other buildings without connecting to the power grid.
There are a number of technical criteria by which such devices are selected. It is these indicators that should guide the choice. Neither advice from sellers, nor unverified reviews on the Internet will provide such comprehensive information.
Robot or not?
When starting to choose equipment for home cleaning, you should decide how exactly you want to clean: with your own hands or with the help of automation. If the choice still fell on robots, then it is worth looking at the corresponding review, since this article will discuss the intricacies of choosing wireless handheld vacuum cleaners.
In general, robot vacuum cleaners really simplify life, since they work without human participation. But, if autonomous operation is not the main selection criterion, and the cost of the device plays a key role, it is better to give preference to conventional models for manual cleaning. It should also be borne in mind that robot vacuum cleaners are usually very small. Considering such compact dimensions, they are more suitable for light daily cleaning or collecting accidentally scattered garbage. The power of such devices is usually not enough to clean smooth, and even more so, fluffy surfaces from debris, dust, hair or animal fur.
Price
The price policy for models of wireless vacuum cleaners starts at 1,5 thousand rubles, but this price does not include discounts and promotions. In this budget segment, you can find models manufactured by Asian countries - VVK, Ginzu, Midea, SUPRA. Also, in household appliances stores there are wireless devices of domestic production from manufacturers - REDMOND, Kitfort.
The price of domestic wireless devices is quite democratic (less than 5 thousand rubles), but the build quality and functionality of such devices is much higher if you compare them with Chinese devices of a similar cost. In general, it makes no sense to overpay for a brand of wireless vacuum cleaner. It is better to pay attention to its power, equipment and other important technical characteristics.
Suction power
For high-quality cleaning of surfaces with a wireless vacuum cleaner, an important point in its characteristics is the suction power. It is this indicator that determines how thoroughly the device will clean surfaces from dust and small debris.
Budget models of battery vacuum cleaners (up to 5 thousand rubles) can be equipped with suction power from 30 to 100 W. More powerful versions of wireless vacuum cleaners are capable of sucking up various heavy and sharp objects, but the latter are best removed manually to prevent damage to the equipment. In certain models, power indicators and a regulator on the handle can be installed, which will allow you to increase or decrease the suction power during cleaning.
Dust container volume
In addition to the suction power, when choosing a wireless vacuum cleaner, you should consider the volume of the dust collector. Many housewives know: the larger the volume of the dust collector, the larger the area of the premises can be cleaned without shaking out the bag.
Modern models of wireless devices are produced with different volumes of containers for garbage collection, and they can be from 0,3 to 0,8 liters. It is recommended to clean the dust collector after 2-3 complete cleaning cycles, as the cleaning filter may become clogged, which will affect the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
Battery life
Cordless vacuum cleaners come complete with batteries, which can be of two types - nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion. Nickel-cadmium batteries are inexpensive and have a "memory effect", they must also be fully discharged and charged.
If nickel-cadmium batteries are not used correctly, their volume will gradually decrease. Lithium-ion batteries do not have this drawback, and therefore vacuum cleaners with such batteries are more popular among housewives.
Dimensions and weight
In order for the vacuum cleaner to be comfortable to use, its weight and dimensions should be objectively assessed even when selecting it in the store. Since we are talking about models for manual cleaning, it is advisable to choose a not too heavy device that will be easy to hold in the hand.
In the case of dimensions, two criteria are considered. First, the vacuum cleaner should be suitable for the height of the potential user. Secondly, it should be relatively compact so that it can be conveniently stored. Pay special attention to the length of the pipe: the longer it is, the easier it will be to clean.
Design features
Cordless vacuum cleaners can look like ordinary cleaning devices. Vertical models are considered more functional. They are equipped with a removable manual vacuum cleaner, which significantly expands the scope of the device.
For example, in the assembled state, the vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning the house. But, if you need to clean the gazebo or the interior of the car, it is enough to disconnect the tube with the brush, and cleaning can be carried out absolutely anywhere.
Equipment
The complete set of most models of wireless vacuum cleaners is standard and includes one or more nozzles, a dust collector and a bag. But if it is necessary to maximally expand the functionality of the device, it is better to choose models with extended configuration.
One of the best options in cordless vacuum cleaners is the turbo brush. It is not in all models, but if you can find a device with such a configuration, it is better to buy it. The fact is that the ordinary nozzle collects dust and debris well only from smooth surfaces, while the turbo brush helps to clean the carpet from dirt, even with a long pile. Such models are especially recommended for pet owners.
Another useful function is a fine filter. Filters are installed in all vacuum cleaners, but they retain only large particles of dust and debris. And only a fine filter is able to retain microscopic particles and even microorganisms, such as mold, which can be extremely dangerous to health.
In general, a wireless vacuum cleaner can be safely called a useful purchase for the home. It is very easy to use them, because you do not have to constantly look for a free outlet or step over a wire. But you need to approach the choice of the device very carefully and not listen to the persuasions of sellers, but pay attention exclusively to the technical characteristics of suitable models. Also, experts recommend holding the vacuum cleaner in your hand before buying to make sure that it is not too heavy and will not tire you during cleaning. This is the only way to objectively assess the ergonomics of the device and clearly determine whether a specific model is suitable for the user.
