Without a vacuum cleaner it is almost impossible to clean up the apartment. Home dust that penetrates into homes through windows, doors, as well as on our shoes and clothes, is not only an aesthetic problem. The more it is in the room, the higher the risk of allergies in the household.
What kind of vacuum cleaner is better to buy - the question is not simple. If vacuum cleaners for ordinary dry cleaning, washing models, robotic vacuum cleaners, as well as manual vacuum cleaners are more or less familiar to everyone, then a vertical vacuum cleaner is a novelty of the domestic market of household appliances. In Europe, this model is already quite popular, and in the US it is generally considered an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
Design Features
At first, vertical vacuum cleaners were used to remove large areas, but over time their dimensions became more compact and functional, which made such models suitable for apartments. Today, virtually all the world's home equipment manufacturers have vertical vacuum cleaners in their assortment.
In fact, vacuum cleaners of all designs operate on the same principle: fans rotated by electric flow suck dust and debris into special containers, where everything is filtered out, and then air is released again into the room. The peculiarity of vertical models is that there is no traditional hull and hose in them. The engine and dust collector are located directly in the suction pipe. The fan is only one and is located on the motor shaft. Its second end is used to drive the rotating brush-roller slightly above the floor level of the belt. These bristles lift dust, wool, and small debris from the floor. At the same carpets and floors are not damaged, as the bristles are not so stiff. In most of these models, the "2 in 1" principle is used, that is, there is also a removable suction module, which is convenient to clean in the car's interior.
Equipment
Usually, vertical wired vacuum cleaners are equipped with a turbo brush . With its help, carpets and floors without carpets are cleaned qualitatively. In addition to the turbo brush, vertical vacuum cleaners can be supplied complete with an electric brush. Its difference is that rotation is provided by electricity, not by air. In addition, the speed of rotation of the electric brush is constant, which increases the efficiency of harvesting. The set also can have slotted nozzles, nozzles for cleaning upholstered furniture. Usually they are attached to the vacuum cleaner itself, which saves the hostess from having to run around the house in search of a specific nozzle.
Unlike vertical vacuum cleaners with wire, wireless models are equipped with a built-in battery. On average, their charge lasts for half an hour, which is enough to clean an ordinary apartment. Of course, the lack of wire is a virtue, but the battery can not provide the same suction power, which affects the quality of cleaning.
Disadvantages and advantages
Before choosing a vertical vacuum cleaner, decide on the surfaces that you trust. If the apartment has animals or kids, then every day it will be hard to fiddle with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. Vertical due to its compactness more convenient. In addition, they do not need as much space as usual. And if you also get a washing vertical vacuum cleaner, then your daily chores will be much simpler. Washing models of the vertical type are still small, but the leading manufacturers are working on it. Meanwhile, the pioneer is the model AquaTrio company Philips.
