Vacuum cleaners Vitek: features and types

Vitek is a leading Russian manufacturer of household appliances. The brand is very popular and is included in the TOP-3 in terms of availability in households. The latest Vitek technologies are perfectly combined with an attractive appearance, and the quality of products is combined with a favorable cost.

Household appliances Vitek appeared in 2000. The most popular immediately became electric kettles, and later inexpensive vacuum cleaners with aquafiltration. Today the official catalog contains 7 models of this category. There are 17 bagless vacuum cleaners, 12 bagless models, 7 upright vacuum cleaners and 2 handheld products. The presented technique is not the cheapest, but it is in demand in the middle price range not only in Russia. The optimal ratio of cost and quality is appreciated by the owners of these devices around the world.

The cheapest in the assortment line are units with a dust bag. If the container is reusable, it is emptied and reinstalled, if it is disposable, it is replaced with a new one. The units are powerful, do a good job of dry cleaning, but the power of the device decreases as the container fills. This feature is a disadvantage of these models.

Vacuum cleaners with plastic containers and a cyclonic filtration system also have good power, which does not decrease with filling the container. The container is easily emptied and washed. Additional accessories are not required for the device, and this is considered a significant advantage of these models. Devices with an aquafilter are a novelty. The devices are also equipped with a plastic container, but it is filled with water. Dust and debris together with air are directed into this container. It is called an aquafilter.

The models are distinguished by impressive weight and serious dimensions, but, in addition to cleaning the surfaces, they provide clean air.

The device can collect both dry dust and liquids, which is inaccessible even to many expensive models. The filtration system in this model is five-stage, and the delivery set includes a turbo brush. A significant drawback of the device is the complex aquafilter system, which is difficult to clean after use. However, there are pros and cons in all Vitek models, so the characteristics can be summarized in a single list.

Possible advantages and disadvantages are considered when there is a question of choosing a model of the brand you like. In modern conditions, Vitek offers a wide variety of types of vacuum cleaners. Each copy differs in size, autonomy, and other characteristics. The most budgetary and simple units among the Vitek line are vacuum cleaners with dust bags. The devices are easy to use and small in size. The main advantage of the vacuum cleaners of this brand is quality. Dust bags in the ruler can be paper or cloth.

The disadvantages of these models are:

• poor dust collection;
• the need for the constant purchase of containers for garbage;
• Difficulty cleaning filters
• unhygienic when changing reusable containers.

Vacuum cleaners from the Vitek line with a plastic bowl also have their advantages and disadvantages. A huge plus of these models is the absence of a bag. They have a large litter collection system. Its functions are to detain large fractions (buttons, hairpins, coins) in a special handle that is attached to the bowl. As a result, the suction power does not decrease when filling the container. The negative qualities of these models are:

• not very high power;
• a container for collecting large debris is quickly filled with fine dust, which reduces the functionality of this device;
• vacuum cleaners with a container make more noise;
• if the container is transparent, it quickly becomes unattractive;
• garbage with a small mass and a decent length (straws, hair) is poorly drawn into the container.

Positive aspects of a multi-stage cleaning system:

• a water curtain from sprayers retains almost all dust;
• an additional filtration system keeps dust residues in a droplet suspension;
• the system has stabilizing filters that do not allow collected dust to settle to the bottom of the container;
• antiallergenic air purification.

Cons of vacuum cleaners with aquafiltration:

• large dimensions and weight;
• the need to clean the container after cleaning;
• the possibility of retaining particles with water-repellent qualities - feathers, plastic, shavings, these elements cause clogging of the filtration system;
• there is a frequent flow of fluid when overcoming thresholds;
• in the warmth in aquafilters, bacteria, mold, and other pathogens actively appear.

Washing devices are multifunctional. Typically, the models are suitable for both dry cleaning of surfaces and for wet cleaning. There is a model in the Vitek line that can interact with surfaces with steam. The main disadvantage of such devices is their high cost. Usually, such products are purchased for social facilities, places with a large crowd of people. The technique perfectly cleans carpets, tiled floors and walls. It is better to clean parquet, board, natural carpet with vacuum cleaners for dry cleaning or with gentle means.

Advantages of washing vacuum cleaners:

• wet and dry cleaning;
• the ability to clean clogged sinks;
• the possibility of washing windows;
• collection of spills on the floor;
• aromatization of the room;
• the possibility of collecting large litter.

Disadvantages of technology:

When it comes to choosing the best vacuum cleaner for your home, you have to determine not only the power parameters. For example, ease of use is more commonly considered. This characteristic is, for example, influenced by the housing, which can be horizontal or vertical. The latter option is cordless, rechargeable or equipped with a power cord.

Special attention is paid to the environmental friendliness of the device. For example, part of the sucked-in dirt from ordinary vacuum cleaners gets back into the room, and this is harmful for allergy sufferers. Therefore, models with a water filter without a dustbag and with an aquafiltration system are considered.

The easiest way is to decide between a vertical and a regular model. An upright cane with a brush and a rigid bin for trash is considered a handcrafted specimen as a replacement for a regular broom for local cleaning. A conventional horizontal vacuum cleaner is chosen for global cleaning of surfaces. Additional functionality is considered as needed. Rechargeable turbo brush and attachments improve the result of your usual daily cleaning.

In conventional vacuum cleaners, bags or containers for rubbish and dust are important equipment. The innovation of the latest generation of vacuum cleaners is the aquafilter. Such copies have certain negative qualities, so Vitek equips its devices with the usual soft dust containers, which adds to the versatility of these products. For many, price is an important parameter.

When choosing cheap models with bags, it is worth considering the need for cash investments during their operation. Container vacuum cleaners are more expensive, but practically do not require further operation costs. And if filters become unusable, it will take a long time, and you can make new ones with your own hands.

Power consumption for Vitek models varies from 1800 to 2200 W, but it is not related to the suction draft. The last figure for Vitek is even higher than that of expensive German-made copies - 400 watts. These product options are not supplemented with turbo brushes. The length of the power cord for models of foreign production is longer, but it makes the product heavier. Everyone determines for himself the most important parameters of choice and acquires the most convenient model.

The basic rules for using a vacuum cleaner are simple and easy to remember.

• The capabilities of any device are limited in time. For example, any device for collecting dust should work no more than one and a half hours, otherwise there is a risk of engine overheating.
• Do not press the accessory against the surface. Air intake will provide better cleaning efficiency and also cool the motor during operation.
• The best surface cleaning can be achieved if the nozzle is not moved too quickly.

When the suction power decreases, it is advisable to inspect the dust container. It may need cleaning or replacement. This should be done as soon as less pull is felt. There is no need to wait for the end of the cleaning cycle. This will stress the motor and damage the vacuum cleaner. For some types of cleaning it is better to use the power regulator. For example, this function is useful when cleaning curtains, furniture or bookshelves. It is undesirable to throw garbage from bags from mines, which are in some apartment buildings.

The staged air filtration in many vacuum cleaners requires thorough cleaning. All filters must be properly cleaned and, if necessary, replaced in time. The instruction assumes different periods for replacing filters, this information must be viewed for a specific instance.

The rules for working with electrical appliances are usually identical, they can also be applied to vacuum cleaners:

• do not touch the device with wet hands;
• clean the bag and container with the power off;
• do not use the cord to turn off the vacuum cleaner, there is a plug for this;
• do not use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum up water or liquids on dry cleaning models;
• Be aware of changes in tone and volume when vacuuming, this could indicate a problem with the electronics or a clogged system.

Do not use the device without a waste container. For effective cleaning, the bags and container do not need to be filled to the maximum possible level. The unit must not be left in storage near heating devices. Heat sources deform the plastic parts of the device. This will impair the quality of cleaning. Do not put the load on the corrugated hose, and it is also not recommended to stand on it with your feet.

For spilling food substances, washing powder and debris, it is better to use a cleaning product other than a vacuum cleaner. The main purpose of household cleaning equipment is to clean objects and surfaces from dust.Fine dust is more difficult to remove with vacuum cleaners due to residual static electricity in synthetic carpets. If you spray the carpet with antistatic agent before cleaning, cleaning will be more effective.

Buyers rate Vitek vacuum cleaners differently. For example, they are recommended by only 80% of the owners. There are users who, from their merits, positively assess only the budget price. The Vitek VT-1833 G / PR / R is considered a very noisy product that does poorly in cleaning and filtering the air. Although there are comments to the negative review of this model that the device is still good, and the owner simply did not figure out his copy.

Vitek VT 1833 is an earlier version of the product with an aquafilter, but it is rated positively. In the model, everyone likes the strict design, ease of maintenance, a durable and voluminous container for collecting garbage. On the contrary, some products with aquafilter are assessed as difficult to maintain. For example, the need for constant cleaning of the container and rinsing of filters is indicated. But this need applies to all such devices. The same popular Vitek VT-1833 G / PR / R is rated positively by other owners. Its main advantage is high-quality cleaning of all dust.

The same model also has such positive characteristics: powerful, convenient, compact, without a bag for collecting dust, an aquafilter. This is one of the budget options from a series of vacuum cleaners with cyclonic filtration and the "aqua" function. Many users note that it is not worth overpaying for the brand name when an inexpensive domestically produced device has the same functions.
