Vacuum cleaners Midea: characteristics and subtleties of choice

Midea is a company from China that produces home appliances. The company was founded in Shunde in 1968. The main activity is the production of household appliances and electronics. Since 2016, the company has been cooperating with the German manufacturer Kuka Roboter. It is a leading manufacturer of industrial robotic machines for the auto industry. From that moment on, Midea has been actively developing the robotics direction.

The iF and Good Design Award are awards that have been awarded to Midea vacuum cleaners, as well as other household appliances of this brand. Home comfort is the main criterion followed at Midea. Qualified engineers, experts from institutes and laboratories, specialists from various industries work on the manufacturer's comfortable solutions.

The vacuum cleaners of the Chinese enterprise are distinguished by an innovative design. The equipment does an excellent job of removing dry dust. Some devices are equipped with a wet cleaning unit. Vacuum cleaners are distinguished by their elegant appearance, which is appreciated by European consumers. The functionality of the devices is not inferior to the products of other brands. The cost of the devices is low, so they attract the attention of an increasing number of users.

The price for these products is quite affordable. Users who have rated Midea devices speak of them as decent devices for a small amount. The line even includes a robot vacuum cleaner - a new type of household appliances that is not yet very popular. This high-tech novelty is capable of cleaning without human intervention.

Features of robotic vacuum cleaners Midea are similar - compact round shape with dimensions of 25-35 mm and a height of 9-13 cm. Thanks to this solution, devices can easily be taken under a bed or closet, quickly collecting dust there. The device can be configured according to certain parameters: cleaning time, the number of days during which the device will automatically turn on. The automatics of the device is reduced to setting the direction of movement, monitoring the battery charge.

Manufacturer Midea offers various accessories complete with a robotic device.

• Remote control, which plays the role of a secondary control method. There is no need to switch modes while the device is running. Everything works in an automatic format.
• Restrictor of movement. This function is also called "virtual wall" in devices. It is needed to build a route for the robot. For example, when the function is turned on, the technician bypasses fragile interior items. You can also designate an area that does not need cleaning.
• Motion coordinators or internal device navigator. If a compact camera is mounted in the device, it will build an optimal route map for itself.

Multi-stage filters, combination dust nozzle, crevice or furniture nozzles, dust collector are a must for all Midea vacuum cleaner ranges. The devices are able to collect particles of small and large debris, making cleaning efficiently. The latest generation HEPA filters are washable and do not reduce the power of the devices.

An obligatory element of the complete set is a guarantee for service. Warranty coupons are accepted at service centers, where, if necessary, the equipment will be repaired or replaced. Today's buyers who already know the nuances of Midea models choose these particular devices. It is not necessary to overpay just for a well-known brand name when the devices have similar characteristics.

Any vacuum cleaner, even with automatic control, is obliged to perform only one task - to clean the room cleanly. Since all robots on the market are less powerful than conventional vacuum cleaners, they take longer to complete. A simple vacuum cleaner can clean a room faster, the device does not require special care.

Midea vacuum cleaners are divided into several main types:

• for dry cleaning with a regular bag;
• with container;
• vertical;
• robotic.

Simple models of the vertical type with a dry cleaning function work on the principle of a conventional broom, only with electronic control. Since the device contains simple system programs, it copes with the task quickly enough. There are many similar devices on the market. Prices in this assortment line are reasonable.

Despite its simplicity, bag devices collect all dust, dirt and debris along with animal hair and hair in a high-quality manner. Short pile carpets are particularly effective in cleaning such products. The complete set of such products is usually standard, only the number of bags in the sets changes. Usually there are from 5 of them, one bag is enough for 3-5 weeks with daily cleaning.

Devices with a container are similar in principle to the models from the previous line. The devices are equipped with the same brushes, and the debris does not fall into the bag, but into the container. The device thoroughly cleans everything, including cleaning the air in the room. The models are equipped with modern filtration, which excludes the return of dust into the room.

Mixed vacuum cleaners dry clean carpets if a dust collector is installed inside. A hard surface can be cleaned with liquid if a container of cleaning agent is installed inside.

Any automated vacuum cleaners must independently be able to avoid obstacles, complete the program cycle, and know how much charge is left. At the end of the charge, your assistant should return to the base to recharge. For better orientation, there are touch sensors on the charger and the device itself. Models usually move along their own trajectory, which they consider the most beneficial for a particular room. Manual configuration of technical parameters is usually not required.

Midea produces many different household appliances, including vacuum cleaners. HOn the official website of the company there are 36 models with different characteristics, but there are only three robotic copies from the Midea VCR15 / VCR16 series. They have a uniform appearance. Products are round, glossy, made of dark or light plastic. There are decorative segments of different colors. Control unit, LED indicators

• corner brushes will clean all corners of your apartment.

The products also have negative characteristics:

• the turbo brush and angle brushes must be removed and cleaned by hand after each cleaning;
• the battery capacity of automated devices is enough for only one hour of continuous cleaning;
• the battery takes a long time to recharge;
• the devices do not have a timer.

The passport indicators of all vacuum cleaners from the PRC manufacturer correspond to the declared characteristics. The devices are really economical and consume little energy during cleaning. The filtration system does its job well, keeping out dust and harmful bacteria.

Midea vacuum cleaners outperform many other devices in both technical characteristics and software. For example, many Chinese devices do not understand the algorithm for the operation of the modes. Midea machines are set to the optimum factory settings.

If we consider conventional models, then the main advantages here will be:

• attractive design;

In terms of quality, reliability and convenience of the model this Chinese manufacturer is recommended by 83% of users. Of the negative characteristics, the owners note the noise of the devices, the lack of spare parts in the package, poor navigation of the robots (the device gets stuck in the corners of the room).

Vacuum cleaners robots differ in the small capacity of containers, but thanks to the indication, you can track the filling. During an hour of continuous operation, the product actually stops several times and requires cleaning the container. Most of the owners of Midea equipment do not show any flaws at all.

The opinions of users of conventional Midea vacuum cleaners were divided. For example, they don't speak well enough about the Midea VCS37A31C-C. The model does not have a power button; when connected to an outlet, the device immediately begins to suck, which creates inconvenience. The tube is notable for its short length for the growth of an ordinary person, with a rather weak attachment to the hose.

Other Midea vacuum cleaners are rated positively. The MVCC33A5 is rated as small, light and nimble with convenient controls and a container cleaning function. With a very limited budget for the purchase of a vacuum cleaner, this option is considered optimal.
