How to choose an inexpensive but good vacuum cleaner?
Every woman with a shudder in her heart recalls the times when cleaning the house had to be done manually. Dusting the shelves and arranging things in their places is not so difficult, but sweeping and mopping the floors throughout the apartment was a serious challenge. As soon as vacuum cleaners appeared on sale, they began to be snapped up by several models in one hand. The primary developments of the presented household appliances got rid of dust and dirt from smooth and fluffy types of surfaces.
After some time, vacuum cleaners have undergone a fairly serious modernization and now they can not only suck in debris, but are also able to wash floors, remove animal hair, clean upholstered furniture and even humidify the air. Newfangled robot vacuum cleaners have gained immense popularity over the past couple of years. Thanks to them, there is no longer the need to constantly clean. They themselves, having found any contamination, remove it. But, unfortunately, not every family can afford this type of household appliances.
Therefore, special attention of the public is also focused on standard vacuum cleaners with a wide range of actions. Among the huge selection of suction units, everyone can choose for themselves a suitable modification of the assembly at an affordable price, so that the minimum amount of goods meets quality standards.
Varieties
Primary models of vacuum cleaners of eminent brands have proven themselves only from the best side. They were made of durable material with standard functions for removing dirt and dust from floor coverings. Thanks to careful use, the devices have served a fairly long time. And in some houses, they still hold a special importance among household appliances. In the primary models, no one was even interested in their internal technical equipment. And vacuum cleaners were mainly produced with a removable bag.
Today, there is some variety in this matter, but the basic requirements for the technique have remained the same - getting rid of dust and carrying out wet cleaning:
- Sack. This unit has been designed for dry cleaning of various types of surfaces. The design of the device is equipped with a fabric bag. The frequency of maintenance of the device entirely depends on the total volume of the dust container. For comparison: a three-liter waste bin is sufficient to clean once a month, provided that the cleaning is done twice a week, and the cleaning area is 50 squares. Among other things, bag models of vacuum cleaners largely benefit from air purification.
- Bagless. As well as the bag brother, it was developed exclusively for dry cleaning. The dust container is made of plastic. The higher the level of contamination of the dust collector, the less power becomes at the vacuum cleaner itself. These models of household appliances should be purchased only if it is possible to clean the unit of accumulated debris after each cleaning.
- Cyclonic. The presented type of suction units appeared somewhat later than bag models. The main working element of the device is a plastic chamber that serves to contain the sucked-in dust. Thanks to the precise calculations of the developers, the centrifugal force of the vacuum cleaner directs particles of dust and debris to the bottom of the dust container, gradually filling it.It should be noted that the suction power is not affected in any way by the filling level of the waste container.
- Washing... This variety is mainly used for cleaning large houses. Washing units have a huge number of functions. They allow you to collect trash, wash floors, clean carpets with any type of pile, as well as clean furniture and wash windows. The washing vacuum cleaner has a decent size dust collector, which is presented in the form of a plastic container. The collected dirt and dust are removed immediately after cleaning together with the waste liquid.
- Robot vacuum cleaners. The described models completely and completely relieve a person from cleaning floor coverings. The devices themselves clean the surfaces using built-in intelligence. He also sets the direction of the brushes, due to which the debris falls directly into the suction gap. The garbage container is not very large, but it can be easily removed and cleaned.

Criterias of choice
Getting into household appliances stores, every person's eyes begin to run up. Bright products on the stands beckon to themselves, attracting the eyes of consumers, because of which a person is simply lost and in most cases acquires equipment that does not meet his needs.
That is why one should go for such purchases with a certain plan, which will take into account the main features of the required device, in this case a vacuum cleaner.
- It is necessary to decide what type of cleaning the device is intended for - dry or wet. Based on these criteria, it will be possible to determine the type of vacuum cleaner required - bag or container.
- When you see the cheapest model in the window, you should not immediately grab it and run to the checkout. Unfortunately, the most budget models do not have positive characteristics in terms of air purification.
- Quite often, the buyer buys the equipment of a well-known brand. That is why you should decide in advance on the required brand.
- Modern models of vacuum cleaners have additional equipment. But the Chinese counterparts cannot boast of such equipment.For example, it is almost impossible to find spare parts for them.
- The power of the unit completely and completely affects the quality of the cleaning performance. This characteristic depends on the cost of the unit.
- The volume of the vacuum cleaner depends entirely on the power and design characteristics of the model in question. Therefore, when choosing, you should check with the seller the noise level of the unit.
Modern buyers, before purchasing a particular piece of household appliances, study detailed information about it and get acquainted with the reviews of the owners.
Unfortunately, you cannot pay attention to the advertised product. Very often, this technique does not meet the requirements of the consumer. And spending money on the purchase of an expensive but low-quality unit is irrational.
To date, the models of vacuum cleaners offered by manufacturers are ideal for cleaning an apartment and operating in a private house. There is no need to buy the most advanced and modified model. If you decide on the main features and important criteria, then you can choose the necessary unit even among the budget series.
The first thing that catches your eye when choosing a particular model of household appliances is the appearance. The range of vacuum cleaners is quite large. Even among interested budget models, different variations of vacuum cleaners can be presented. The main thing is to decide where the device will be located, measure the space allotted for it and, based on these data, select a model by size. We must not forget about the appearance of the device. Quite often, housewives prefer that the color scheme of the technique as a whole match the interior of the apartment.
Any vacuum cleaner has two power ratings. The first is the consumed force, indicated on the body of the purchased device, and the second is the suction force. The energy consumption figure is not the main indicator. One should pay attention to the suction force, which is indicated in aero watts and is written in the device's passport. For smooth surfaces such as laminate, linoleum or parquet flooring, vacuum cleaner options up to 300 AW are ideal. But if pets live in the house, from which there is a lot of wool, the power of the unit should exceed this indicator. The filtration system has a huge impact on the quality of cleaning.
Its design should be at least with a three-stage mechanism. These are dust collector, motor filter and exhaust filter. Some well-known manufacturers supplement this scheme with the latest filters, thereby increasing the cost of the unit. It has been proven by many consumers that it is enough to use a Hera filter. It has the ability to trap not only dust particles and bacteria, but also houseplant pollen, which is very important for allergy sufferers. It follows from this that its effectiveness on the maximum scale is 99 points.
Many models of vacuum cleaners have additional functions. For example:
- overvoltage protection;
- shutdown indicator;
- dust container volume indicator;
- rubber-based bumpers;
- the location of the control on the handle;
- automatic cord rewinding.
It is not difficult to choose a high-quality and reliable vacuum cleaner at a low price, the main thing is not to forget to pay attention to its characteristics.
What you don't need to overpay for?
Before purchasing a vacuum cleaner, you should decide on its main functions and parameters. It is not necessary that he perform a full range of work, because not every person will entrust washing windows or cleaning clothes to a vacuum cleaner. Of course, you can slightly supplement the required list of functions with additional equipment, but it all depends on human needs. For example, if the square of the area to be cleaned is small, and there are no pets, you can use units designed for dry cleaning, the power of which reaches a maximum of 300 aerowatts.
Quite often, sales consultants offer to purchase a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter, explaining this by the fact that when the device is in operation, the air is purified. The offered function is suitable for allergy sufferers and people with asthma. As for the advertised products, you should not rush to the store when you see a huge and bright billboard. The price of the advertised equipment is quite often overpriced. And all because of the high consumer demand. It is enough to clarify the functionality of the unit and find its analogue with the same characteristics, but under a different brand. In order not to overpay for the equipment you are interested in, it is enough to decide in advance on the necessary functions.
