Vacuum cleaners Karcher bagless: advantages, disadvantages and subtleties of use

When buying a new vacuum cleaner, it is best to opt for models without a dust bag. They allow you to simplify cleaning, making it easy and enjoyable. Of course, choosing the right option will be very difficult, since models without bags are very different from each other. In addition, when choosing, one should take into account the features of such vacuum cleaners, including both pros and cons.

To make it easier to determine the model of the vacuum cleaner, you should first familiarize yourself with their characteristics. One of the most important is the suction power. This parameter is responsible for how well the cleaning will be done. It also affects electricity consumption. The smallest suction power is 250 W, and the power consumption is 1300 W.

It is worth clarifying that the suction power in bagless vacuum cleaners is practically not regulated. In cyclonic versions, the vortex cannot be changed using power drops. Any little thing, for example, sucking in tissue, can knock it down. This, in turn, leads to clogging of all filters. This possibility is available to models of vacuum cleaners with a water filter.

There are no filters that can be washed clean. At times, all filters need to be replaced. In this case, it is better to choose those that hold even the smallest particles. The noise of the vacuum cleaners is indicated in the technical characteristics after testing in laboratory conditions. Here everything is unambiguous and quiet units that will not cause headaches are preferred. To evaluate this parameter, it is worth checking the dust collection device directly in the store.

The weight and dimensions of the models must be taken into account. The main thing is that they are suitable for the house that will be cleaned. The bagless vacuum cleaner is lightweight. The only exceptions are models with an aquafilter. The regulation of the suction pipe is very important. Especially if it's very easy to do. In this case, it is better to give preference to pipes made of metal, characterized by increased strength.

The wheels of the vacuum cleaner must be reliable, maneuverable and rotate with ease. The devices should be able to avoid obstacles, turns and small elevations without any problems. However, you should not expect all of this from models with water filters. Sudden movements of such units can cause splashing water. In cyclone devices, dust containers are made of plastic and have two or more compartments. This is to make filtering debris easier. Thanks to this, small things that were accidentally swallowed by a vacuum cleaner are easily found without unnecessary digging in the garbage.

The presence of additional attachments makes the models more popular. However, do not chase devices with two or more brushes. After all, they can always be purchased additionally when you need them. More modern options are constantly being improved.In cyclonic devices, as a pleasant bonus, there are bumpers that protect pieces of furniture, a shovel for compaction of garbage and other devices that facilitate cleaning. Therefore, it is always best to choose the newest models.

The device of bagless vacuum cleaners is quite simple, but carefully thought out. The unit body is compact. It sits on two huge wheels. As for the container for collecting dust, it is located on top, which is very convenient. It is worth noting that the large size of the wheels and the low weight of the device simplifies the operation of the vacuum cleaner, making the less pleasant lesson comfortable. The container is located in a special recess at the top of the case. As a rule, it is made of transparent plastic, which makes it possible to keep track of how full the container is.

Auto rewind and the work wire itself is located at the rear. It is convenient to control the unit using buttons that are located above the wheels. These buttons are made of plastic and have good durability, which makes it possible to switch them with your foot, without even bending over. The fine filter has an original location. To find it, you need to lift the plastic cover in one of the wheels.

All parts of the vacuum cleaner are assembled into a single unit. It is easy to move around and does not take up much storage space. First, the debris enters the pipe, and then moves through an elastic hose up to one and a half meters long into the cyclone filter. On average, the length of the pipe is made based on the average height of a person. The flexible hose is easy to operate, which allows the unit to be moved in different directions.

The advantages and disadvantages of bagless vacuum cleaners are highly dependent on the type of vacuum cleaner. These devices are divided into:

• cyclonicin which air moves through the container, transforming into a vortex and filtering;
• with aquafilter, in which the air is purified with water.

Advantages of cyclone models:

• do well with cleaning;
• are compact and convenient;
• good filtration;
• minimum storage space;
• affordable cost.

As for the negative aspects of this type, they are:

• the need to wash the container for collecting dust;
• contact with dust when cleaning the container;
• lack of some functions, including humidification and wet cleaning.

Models with a water filter also have many advantages:

• do an excellent job with dust;
• avoid contact with dust that settles in the water;
• excellent filtration;
• make it possible to perform wet cleaning;
• allow you to humidify the air.

However, they have slightly more disadvantages than in cyclone models:

• large weight and size;
• requires constant parsing and drying of spare parts;
• storage requires space for both the device itself and its elements included in the kit;
• high price.

There are still not so many models of vacuum cleaners without bags as with bags, but among them there are already distinguished ones. Among the best is one of the oldest models - Karcher VC 3 Premium. The main advantages of this device are its characteristics and special equipment. And the main difference between the model is white, while the classic one is yellow. This unusual color makes this vacuum cleaner stand out from others, while perfectly complementing the elegant black.

Karcher VC 3 Premium features a higher power of 750 watts. At the same time, the dust container can hold 1.1 liters. The unit is equipped with a special indicator that signals the filling of the container with dust. The improved equipment of this model will appeal to many, as well as a deeper air purification system. The last parameter is practically not felt by people, and the only exceptions are allergy sufferers. Families with children may also like this feature, for whom it is important to have clean air.

The complete set of the vacuum cleaner also contributed to the fact that it received the prefix "premium" to its name. In addition to the standard dry cleaning tools for floors and furniture, there are also carpet brushes and a crevice tool. Of course, the air purification system deserves the most attention, which is achieved through the use of a HEPA 13 filter. It allows you to catch even the smallest particles that are not visible without special equipment. Even pollen remains inside the vacuum cleaner.

The low weight, just over 4 kg, allows even large areas to be cleaned. This is also facilitated by a range of up to 8 meters. Low noise level is a nice bonus to this model. This model can be compared to the Karcher VC 6, which is a traditional household vacuum cleaner with bags.

Karcher VC 5 is a vertical model of a bagless vacuum cleaner. The unit is distinguished by its very compact dimensions with its impressive performance. Convenient triple telescopic system allows the vacuum cleaner to fold almost 2 times. To do this, just press a button and then fold the tube that sucks in the dust. As a result, storage requires even less space than classic models, and the handle height can be adjusted to suit you.

It is very convenient that when it is necessary to securely park the vacuum cleaner, a special magnet allows you to make it. And in the event of a suspension of cleaning, the device can be quickly turned off. A pair of hooks that can be easily rotated make it easier to fix and remove the work lead from the device. The range of this model is more than 8 meters. Moreover, its weight is slightly more than 3 kg, and the noise level is 77 dB. Ease of use is also achieved due to the soft pad on the handle of the device. For comparison, the Karcher VC 6200 can be compared with this device, but even with its advantages it cannot surpass the cyclone unit.

Each bagless vacuum cleaner, like conventional models, is supplied with instructions that come with the kit. If you follow it, then the device will delight you with proper operation for a long time. It is worth focusing on some points that are very important for the normal functionality of the unit. It is important to disassemble and rinse the vacuum cleaner without a bag at the end of cleaning.

Special care, that is, washing, requires devices with a water filter. They must be cleaned with extreme care after harvesting. In cyclonic models, when flushing, it is worth paying attention to the slots that exist between the filter parts. After rinsing or wet cleaning the vacuum cleaner itself, it is important to dry all its elements well. Only after this has been completed is it allowed to assemble the unit. If you want to do the best you can, you should rinse the motor protection filter often enough. This will allow the main live node to last longer.

Do not use a device to suck up insects, even the smallest ones. It is undesirable to use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning liquids or any solutions. Substances that are easily flammable or may explode should also not be sucked into the unit. Bagless models of vacuum cleaners are not suitable for removing dust from clothes in public and from animals. This should never be forgotten.

Most of the reviews about Karcher vacuum cleaners are positive. Many ratings show that devices from this manufacturer are the leaders among models without dust bags. The score on a 100-point scale is about 90 points. The design of the devices, which users consider to be very successful, is noted. At the same time, Karcher vacuum cleaners are liked by many for their low noise level, good power and economy. These units are also suitable because there is no need to constantly change filters. With proper handling, one filter is enough for such a vacuum cleaner for the entire operation time.

Negative reviews have also been received for Karcher's bagless devices. Some people report poor stability, even with large wheels. There are even suggestions that this is due to its too compact size and light weight. Also, delight is not caused by a not too large radius of action from 7 to 8 meters. It is necessary to remove animal hair with a vacuum cleaner without a bag in several passes, which is not very convenient.

Insufficiently wide assortment of attachments gives users a lot of inconvenience. However, it should be borne in mind that the manufacturer offers a large number of brushes and various additional elements separately. The inability to adjust the suction power is upsetting for many. The need for constant cleaning of the vacuum cleaner causes similar sensations. At first, the power of the device is excellent, but gradually decreases. Moreover, even cleaning the filters does not help to return it.
