The vertical vacuum cleaner is very convenient to use in everyday life. This device consists of a pipe with a handle, as well as a motor and dust collector attached to it. The brush nozzle, as with ordinary case models, is located at the bottom of the pipe.
Externally, the device resembles a mop that can suck in dust. Vertical vacuum cleaners successfully replace conventional ones and surpass them in many ways. For example, unlike standard vacuum cleaners, they are used wirelessly - they usually operate on a rechargeable battery.
The main criteria for choosing the best model
Suction power
Of course, it is better to pay attention to models with higher suction power. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, look at the power declared by the manufacturer. A good option is a vertical with a power of more than 100 watts, since models with a power lower do not absorb dirt from the first time, especially on carpets.
Container volume
Most vertical vacuum cleaners are made with containers up to 0.5 liter in size. The larger the volume of the dust bag, the less often it will have to be cleaned, which means it will be much more convenient to use. Please note that if you often plan to operate the device, then you need at least 0.5 liters. A larger container volume is especially important if you have pets that leave a lot of hair.
Number of nozzles
An ideal vacuum cleaner should have several nozzles for different surfaces; in an ideal complete set there should be nozzles for upholstered furniture, carpets and for inaccessible places (crevice nozzle), in addition to the main brush. In general, such a set is definitely enough to carefully clean the apartment. If the selected vacuum cleaner has more nozzles, then this is usually a marketing trick rather than a real benefit.
Standalone time
Most devices of this type do not require an outlet nearby and can be powered by a built-in battery that charges before cleaning. Basically, vertical vacuum cleaners in maximum mode only work for 20 minutes, this time is enough only for cosmetic cleaning. But some models can work up to 60 minutes (usually not in maximum mode). The optimal time is from 30 minutes in maximum mode.
The presence of a manual vacuum cleaner
The latest vertical models already come with a manual removable vacuum cleaner. A handheld vacuum cleaner allows local cleaning and vacuuming of hard-to-reach surfaces, and it is also convenient to use it in cases where it is not possible to move bulky equipment with you. It is suitable for dusting furniture, blankets, clothes, carpets, mattresses, cornices, etc. It can be used not only in the house, but also in the car. For example, dust, hair and crumbs can be removed from the interior.
Turbo brush
The principle of operation of a modern turbo brush is quite simple: due to the forces of the air flow (in the mechanical) or motor (in the electric), a special roller starts to rotate. For effective surface cleaning, such a roller has bristles that carefully collect small debris. In addition, depending on which surface you are cleaning, the turbo brush can operate at different speeds.
On a laminate, parquet, tile or linoleum, the movement of the roller slows down, and on various fleecy coatings, on the contrary, increases to thoroughly clean. So if there are pets in the house or you have carpets on the floor, a turbo brush will be an indispensable thing. Such a vacuum cleaner is very gentle, but effectively cleans even complex carpets.
The turbo brush can be electric (with a built-in motor that makes it rotate) and mechanical (with blades that spin under air currents and rotate the roller). Electric, definitely, more powerful and more efficient, so we recommend paying attention to models with such a brush.
Weight
The device should be lightweight - this is one of the most important characteristics of a vacuum cleaner. Cleaning with a lightweight vacuum cleaner will be less tiring. Check the weight before purchasing the device, otherwise cleaning will turn into a weightlifting competition. Ideally, this figure does not exceed 3-3.5 kg.
Noise level
This is a very significant characteristic for the device. Moreover, if the vacuum cleaner is planned to be used in a room where small children or animals live. When choosing a vertical vacuum cleaner for the home, it is better to test it immediately before purchase, without relying on the stated performance indicators.
The noise of a vacuum cleaner up to 80 dB is considered optimal. By the way, the same model may have different noise levels. The instructions should indicate the maximum possible. The noise level can depend on many factors: for example, the type of nozzle used or the type of flooring.
Price
On average, good models of vertical vacuum cleaners are in the price range of 12-15 thousand rubles - you should be guided about this cost when buying. More expensive models have their value due to optional functions and nozzles, which can be dispensed with.
