Vacuum cleaners with blowing function: what is it and how to choose?

Many users purchase a vacuum cleaner because of its main function: collecting dust indoors. When making a choice, people most often already have an idea of ​​the desired unit. It can be a hand-held model, a floor model, a vertical model, or a robot. Sometimes attention is paid to the dust collector system. But the existence of some options will be found out only after the purchase. This usually happens with the blowing function. The question arises: what is it? Is it a bonus or an unnecessary burden? Let's try to figure out why the vacuum cleaner needs to blow out air.

Once upon a time, all Soviet vacuum cleaners worked both to draw in dust and with a reverse action - to blow out air. It was enough to put the hose on the back of the unit, and to enhance the effect, pull out the dust bag. Today, household vacuum cleaners, many types of industrial and some models of household units are equipped with this function. Judging by the reviews, this option has its positive and negative sides.

First, consider the benefits of blowing air.

• During the preparation of kebabs, the blowing capacity of the unit can be used to fan the fire.
• Some craftsmen blow the air filter of their car.
• Others, along with a spray bottle, use a vacuum cleaner to paint.

There are people who are dissatisfied with the blowing function. In one of the reviews, the user writes that the air passing through the grill from the vacuum cleaner is louder than the motor, and the blowing itself is rather weak. The second owner of such a vacuum cleaner complains that you have to often clean the filter at the outlet, and for this you need to disassemble the unit.
