How Many Mops Is Too Many?
Cleaning floors is one chore I thoroughly dislike. According to the various flooring manufacturers, different types of floors require different and highly proprietary combinations of secret chemical ingredients for safe and effective cleaning. Any deviation from using the recommended products could void your warranty, and your floors will look like you live in a barn. In fact, I’m beginning to…
Features of vacuums
Today, vacuum is one of the most popular household appliances, and is present in almost any apartment. High demand stimulates companies to constantly expand the functionality and range of their models. But the variety of the model range sometimes complicates the choice of the optimum vacuum. Primarily, it depends on the price, characteristics and functionality of the model.
Suction power adjustment, vibratory cleaning and odors eliminating
Modern models have the mechanical or automatic suction power adjustment. Usually, mechanical adjustment uses controls on the handle or on the device housing.
Digital adjustment use remote control with digital display. But these models are significantly expensive. This function is implemented, for example, in Miele vacuums.
Power adjustment provides selection of the optimal level depending on the coating types. Of course, this function is convenient during sequential cleaning the carpet, linoleum and parquet, or for cleaning curtains. For example, the carpet with a long pile requires maximum suction power, and for curtains - it should be minimal. This function is especially comfortable for models with battery, providing efficient use its charge. Of course, quick cleaning also requires maximum power. But cleaning with minimal noise require lowered power. Vibratory cleaning provides filter cleaning without disassembly of vacuum. Odors eliminating option uses filters and flavorings. The heated dust has an unpleasant smell. But, almost all modern models solve this problem. For example, Ambia filter uses special plate with a few drops of flavoring.
Carbon filter almost completely eliminates all unpleasant odors, but requires periodic replacement. Modern vacuums with a dust bag use flavorings in the form of granules. Moreover, some models have active control module for automatic adjustment of the air aromatization level.
Blowing, maneuverability and turbo brush
Blowing provides the increased speed of the airflow at the vacuum outlet. Of course, this is a very convenient mode. For example, you can use it for cleaning the air filter of the car, for coloring or for working in the garden or in the yard. Of course, blowing mode is very convenient for cleaning territory from dust and leaves. Unfortunately, vacuums rarely have this function. It's mainly present in wet / dry models.
The maneuverability highly depends on the vacuum weight and shape of its wheels. Typically, four wheels on sides of vacuum provide good maneuverability and steadiness. The rubberized wheels reliably protect the parquet and laminate against damages. Of course, they are more reliable than plastic wheels. But some companies use the additional engineering solutions. For example, Dyson Company has developed the special Ball technology. Wheels with the ball shape provide turning on the spot and excellent maneuverability between the furniture.
However, the company continues to improve this technology. Video at the end perfectly illustrates its advantages. Turbo brush is one of the major accessories of modern vacuums. It effectively removes the very small particles of garbage and pet hair. Turbo brushes use mechanical or electrical drive. Modern models are often complex device, that provides a significant improvement of cleaning quality.
Cleaning area, cord length adjustment, compartment for accessories, protection from the germs, fungi, bacteria and allergens
Of course, cleaning area depends on cable length and telescopic extension rod and usually reaches 16 ft.
But ome models provide 23 ft or more. This value does not very important for the small rooms but extended cleaning area is very convenient in large rooms or in the courtyard. Cord length adjustment changes the power cable length and can work in fast or slow mode. It eliminates the cable excess on the floor in case of reducing the distance between the vacuum and the mains socket is reduced. But some models automatically activate this function in the case of disconnection from the mains. Many models have a compartment for storing attachments in the vacuum body.
Also, it can be on handle or on pipe. However, this compartment increases the device dimensions. Protection from the germs, fungi and bacteria uses nano-silver coating on the HEPA filters. Special antibacterial attachment with UV lamp is another way to deal with germs. They are usually sold separately. Sometimes it's equipped with a vibrating mechanism. UV lamp kills harmful bacteria and microorganisms. The vibrating platform is designed for knocking out them from the dense fluffy coating. Their simultaneous operation provides the efficient cleaning from mites and other harmful microorganisms.
Protection from allergens uses special design of turbo brush that increases efficiency of cleaning the carpets from pet hair. For example, some model use fastening the bristles on a rotating shaft in a spiral.
Additional options
Shoulder strap provides convenient cleaning the surfaces of the shelves, cabinets or air conditioners. Many modern vacuums with water filtration often provide the steaming, fluid collection and electronic adjustment of water level and steam supply. The motor thermal protection function disables vacuum at a critical motor temperature. It protects the motor from overheating during intensive use and is present in almost all modern models. Lock of false start is activated at absence of the dust container and protects from accidental ingress of dust and dirt in the device nodes. This situation occurs when a user forgets to set the dust bag. Engine soft-start protects the motor against overload during a launch. Automatic shutdown of the motor when filling the dust bag uses protection relay for turns off the motor. The elastic rubber bumper protects the furniture from scratches and damage. Some models have the ability to replace the bumper. Of course, the noise level significantly affects the usability and depends on the engine power. Therefore, the companies are constantly trying to reduce it. Developers use special sound insulating materials and optimization of air flows. Using amortization suspension for motor also reduces noise. These technical solutions provide good results. For example, models Stealth from Samsung or Ultra Silencer from Electrolux have noise level of 71-73 dB. This is a very good value for a powerful vacuum. The latest models of Bosch also are positioned as noiseless. Read the full article
Review of Dyson vacuums
Of course, the English Dyson Company does not need of introduction. This brand has long become a synonym for cyclone vacuum that uses the principle of cyclone air filtration. In fact, almost all modern powerful vacuums use this technology. The cyclone vacuum has a prototype called a cyclone-separator. This device was developed in 1978 by James Dyson to collect small particles of paint powder. In the next five years, the inventor created and tested a large number of models of such devices. The first cyclone vacuum under the name G-Force was created in 1983. It offered through a catalog on the Japanese market. Dyson Appliances Ltd was founded in 1991 on money from the sale of G-Force. The factory for the manufacture of vacuums and research center for technology development were established in June 1993. The first model under the Dyson brand appeared under the name DC01 in 1993.
Over the next 25 years, Dyson vacuums have spread widely around the world, collecting a large number of different awards and gaining huge popularity among consumers. Today company has production facilities in Singapore and Malaysia. They produce digitally controlled Dyson engines using the most advanced additive 3D printing technology, called Additive Manufacturing Technology or layered synthesis. Today, Dyson vacuum cleaners successfully compete with other popular brands.
Cyclonic technology
As known, cyclonic filtration uses separation of air and dust particles with the help of vortex flows.
It works as follows. Initially, The air enters the conical chamber. Than, it's twisted by swirl and rises along a spiral trajectory. Of course, centrifugal force moves particles in the air flow to the walls of the container. Typically, modern models use several cyclones to increase cleaning efficiency. Such systems are called multi-cyclones. Of course, the creation of vortices requires a large engine power. By the way, the speed of their rotation reaches 120,000 rpm. However, their high efficiency provides sufficient compactness of motors with digital control. Of course, the modern cyclone motor contains a lot of innovative solutions that provide the required airflow speed.
Today, these devices provide highest power compared to other types of vacuums.
Dyson Cinetic Big Ball
In 2017, Dyson offers a novelty named Cinetic Big Ball.
It has repeatedly appeared in the top-lists of various reviewers as one of the best in the segment of powerful vacuums. Moreover, design of model ensures its high steadiness on a surface. For example, this vacuum automatically returns to its working position at deviation from the vertical plane. Plastic rollers rotate only in one plane. Transparent dust collector provides visual control of its filling. Additionally, pressing the red key on the handle provides easy removal of dust collector.
Moreover, filtration system cleans air in three stages. Initially, large cyclone captures large trash. Than, stainless steel filtercleans air cleaning from fibers and wool. Finally, the grouped cyclones capture smallest dust. Combining cyclones in groups increases their effectiveness. Moreover, vibration of the flexible ends of the cyclones provides their self-cleaning from adhered dust. Additionally, a small turbine rotates brush. It uses intake air flow for this purpose.
Moreover, model has additional mini turbo brush for cleaning the pet hair.
Advantages and disadvantages
Model uses many effective engineering solutions. For example, two brushes have axes at an angle of 90 degrees to the floor and rotate in different directions. Additionally, the bunches of nylon bristles on the oval plates provide cleaning. Moreover, the absence of the center roller eliminates the problem of winding the hair and threads. A new universal Musclehead nozzle contains several innovative engineering solutions.
It`s universal and cleanses surfaces of any type. Testing the noise level shows very good results for a powerful vacuum. It's 71.4 dB for the turbo brush, 75.6 dB for the mini turbo brush, 68 dB for the Musclehead nozzle and 71.7 dB for the crevice nozzle. PROS: - large number of innovative engineering solutions; - high efficiency of cleaning from very fine dust with the help of three-stage filtration; - relatively low noise level; - high steadiness on a surface; - innovative Musclehead nozzle; - mini turbo brush for collecting pet hair; - usability. CONS: - relatively high price; - vacuum weigh 17.6 pounds. Hand-held portable Dyson vacuums are also very popular. In recent years, the company offers Cordless Vacuum models that are reasonably considered to be among the best in the segment. The video shows the very popular Dyson Cyclone V10.
