Selection Tips
Before buying a Vax vacuum cleaner, you need to determine the functionality you want, as well as what you expect to get from the work of a particular vacuum cleaner. As a rule, attention is paid to the power, the type of dust collector and filters, the number of modes, dimensions and design, as well as to the complete set of a high-tech product.
Power
The efficiency of the vacuum cleaner directly depends on the power of the vacuum cleaner. The higher the power consumption, the greater the suction power. If you need a device that can handle more than just dust and small particles of debris, choose a more powerful unit. For convenience, many models are equipped with a power switch.
You should also take into account the fact that the more powerful the vacuum cleaner, the noisier it works and consumes more electricity.
Dust collector type
The simplest dust collector is a bag. All dust and debris is directly sucked into a paper or cloth bag. Packages can be disposable and reusable. Aquafilter is a water filtration system. Mud particles settle at the bottom of the water tank and do not fly out back. When buying a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter, take into account the fact that the weight of the device during cleaning increases by the weight of the amount of water that will be used in the work. Cyclone technology involves collecting and retaining debris using centrifugal force.
This does not require the use of garbage bags. The filtration system uses HEPA filters.
Modes of operation
Standard models are dry clean only. If your choice fell on a model with an additional wet cleaning function, be prepared for the fact that the price of such a device will be slightly higher, larger dimensions and electricity consumption. It should be noted that the washing vacuum cleaner is an excellent helper in houses and apartments where high-pile carpets are laid on the floor.
Dimensions and design
Typically, high-powered vacuum cleaners with more features are larger than lower-powered vacuum cleaners. It is necessary to make a choice in one direction or another after first assessing what is more important - the suction power or the compactness of the device. All models of Vax vacuum cleaners are placed standing, in this position they take up less space, which is very convenient for storage.
It also saves space by placing the suction hose vertically on the housing.
Equipment
Almost all Vax models come with a variety of attachments in one form or another. However, if you have cats, dogs or other pets in your house, then it is better to turn your attention to vacuum cleaners, which are equipped with a turbo brush for cleaning carpets. Also, vacuum cleaners may differ in the way the pipe is lengthened. It can be telescopic and prefabricated.
For comfortable and reliable work, the first option is preferable.
How to use?
Before using Vax vacuum cleaners, it is imperative that you read the operating instructions, which describe in detail how to properly handle a specific model of this technique. In addition, the following guidelines are recommended to use the machine efficiently and extend its maximum service life.
- Despite the fact that many models have overheating protection, continuous vacuuming for more than 1 hour is not recommended.
- To prevent early overheating, the nozzle should not be pressed close to the floor.
- If a decrease in suction power is detected, it is necessary to clean the dust collector of the accumulated dust and debris.
- When using a cloth dust collector, do not wash it, as the distance between the threads decreases during washing. The fabric from which it is sewn shrinks.
- For the convenience of working with a vacuum cleaner, increasing or decreasing the suction force, it is necessary to use a power regulator.
- If the design of the vacuum cleaner provides for multi-stage filtration, then the timely replacement of filters will be the key to effective and long-term operation of the unit.
- The vacuum cleaner and all accessories must be kept dry and clean.
It is necessary to take care of the washing vacuum cleaner not only during, but also at the end of the cleaning activities. After finishing cleaning, it is necessary to flush the system with ordinary running water without using a detergent. To do this, you must take the following steps one by one.
- Place the pipe of the vacuum cleaner, without removing the nozzle, into a container with water and press the power button of the device. It should be turned off at the moment when the vacuum cleaner tank becomes full.
- Then it is necessary to pour out the water from the container, after making sure that the engine is completely stopped.
