How to choose a vacuum cleaner

From the perspective of the vacuum cleaner, it can be divided into bucket type, horizontal type, vertical type and handheld type.

The handheld vacuum cleaner is a wet and dry model with strong suction and excellent quietness, but it is large and not suitable for home use, mainly in public places such as hotels and shopping malls.

The vertical vacuum cleaner is suitable for cleaning large-area carpets. It is relatively large in the European and American markets, but domestic households rarely have large-area carpets. It has gradually evolved into a portable + vertical two-in-one. In addition to the vertical cleaning floor, its body can Disassemble into a hand-held vacuum cleaner with a variety of accessories to clean sofas, tables, cars, etc.

Horizontal vacuum cleaner is the model with the highest market share of household vacuum cleaners.

Advantages: large suction and long-lasting, no need to consider battery life when plugged in, large dust holding capacity, and relatively cheap price.

Disadvantages: Noisy, bulky appearance, it is inconvenient to drag the body when using it. The horizontal type is suitable for users with high requirements for cleanliness in the home, because the detailed cleaning requires long-lasting large suction. This is the strength of the horizontal type. If the area of the home is large, a horizontal vacuum cleaner is more recommended.

Hand-held vacuum cleaners are relatively popular in recent years. They are small and exquisite in appearance and have a very high value.

Advantages: The body is lightweight and mostly rechargeable. It does not need to consider the problem of electric wires. It can be easily cleaned whether it is on the ground or at a high place. With a variety of brush heads, it can clean sofas, beds, car seats, keyboard gaps, and so on.

Disadvantages: The power is generally not high, and the suction is much worse than that of the horizontal type. In addition, the battery life is average, the attenuation will be more obvious when the battery is used for a long time, and the price is generally higher. The hand-held vacuum cleaner is suitable for users with high requirements for convenience, and it is more practical for users who have cats and dogs at home. Cleaning the sofa bed can be said to be very convenient.

After you determine the type, you should know the following points when purchasing:

1. Focus on suction power.

The power of the vacuum cleaner is divided into use power and suction power. The power used refers to the power of the fan. The horizontal vacuum cleaner is generally between 1000w-2500w, and the handheld vacuum cleaner is between 300w-600w. Suction power refers to the manifestation of suction power. Horizontal vacuum cleaners are generally between 200w-500w, and handheld vacuum cleaners are between 20w-150w. Generally speaking, the suction power is better than 20% of the used power. Take horizontal vacuum cleaner as an example, the power of product A is 1000w, the power of suction 200w, the power of product B is 1200w, and the power of suction 300w is naturally superior to product B. The specific parameters can also be calculated by yourself when purchasing. The above represents the fan quality and air duct design of the product. You can also refer to this comparison idea when purchasing a handheld vacuum cleaner.

2. Pay attention to dust collection methods.

 The dust collection method of the vacuum cleaner is divided into a dust bag type and a dust box type. There are two types of horizontal vacuum cleaners. The handheld vacuum cleaner has only a dust box type.

When the dust bag vacuum cleaner works, the sucked air and dust pass through the dust bag, and the dust leaves the air to be discharged. This method has high dust removal efficiency, stable machine performance, and will not affect dust removal due to other factors.

The disadvantage is that it is not convenient to clean, and the dust bag needs to be replaced after a few times of use. The consumption of the dust bag is also a cost for the user. The dust bag vacuum cleaner is suitable for users who do not like to clean dust, especially those with sensitive respiratory tract. Cleaning dust may cause allergies. In this case, it is recommended to choose a dust bag.

The dust box type can be washed and washed. Many brands of dust boxes are designed to open the cover with one button, which is convenient for users to pour out the collected dust. When purchasing a dust box-type vacuum cleaner, you must choose a product that has air-dust separation technology. Because the dust box cannot be filtered, air-dust separation can use centrifugal force to keep the dust in the dust box and the air is discharged from the air outlet. Because air-dust separation cannot completely separate dust, a part of the dust will be discharged through the air outlet, so the air outlet of the dust box cleaner must be equipped with a filter, and the HEPA filter is the best. If a brand of air-dust separation technology is general, and the product air outlet filter level is not high, do not buy this, otherwise you will vacuum in front of the vacuum cleaner and you will eat ash in the back.

3. Focus on some additional features.

Horizontal vacuum cleaners pay attention to the length of the wire and the way of winding. Generally, the length of the wire is about 7 meters. It is convenient for some models. The operating radius can be up to 11 meters. It can be said to be very practical. The handheld vacuum cleaner needs to pay attention to the battery life and the number of accessories. The length of the battery life is related to the durability of the cleaning. The number of accessories feels how many functions you can expand. The noise problem does not need to be paid too much attention, because the noise is very large, whether it is horizontal or handheld vacuum cleaner is about 60 decibels to 80 decibels.
