The upright vacuum cleaner is very easy to use in everyday life. This device consists of a pipe with a handle, as well as a motor and a dust collector attached to it. The brush-attachment, as in ordinary case models, is located at the bottom of the pipe.
Outwardly, the device resembles a mop capable of sucking in dust. Upright vacuum cleaners successfully replace conventional vacuum cleaners and surpass them in many respects. For example, unlike standard vacuum cleaners, they are used wirelessly - they usually run on a rechargeable battery.
The main criteria for choosing the best model
Suction power
Of course, it is better to pay attention to models with more suction power. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, look at the power declared by the manufacturer. A good option is a vertical with a power of more than 100 watts, since models with a lower power do not suck in dirt the first time, especially on carpets.
Container volume
Most upright vacuums are manufactured with containers up to 0.5 liters. The larger the volume of the dust container, the less often it will have to be cleaned, which means it will be much more convenient to use. Please note that if you often plan to operate the device, then you need at least 0.5 liters. The larger container volume is especially important if you have pets that leave a lot of fur.
Number of attachments
An ideal vacuum cleaner should have several attachments for different surfaces; Ideally, there should be nozzles for upholstered furniture, carpets and hard-to-reach places (crevice nozzle), in addition to the main brush. In general, this set is definitely enough to thoroughly clean the apartment. If your chosen vacuum cleaner has more attachments, then this is usually more a marketing gimmick than a real benefit.
Autonomous working time
Most devices of this type do not require an outlet nearby and can be powered by a built-in battery, which is charged before cleaning. Basically, vertical vacuum cleaners work in maximum mode for only 20 minutes, this time is enough only for cosmetic cleaning. But some models can work up to 60 minutes (usually not in maximum mode). The optimal time is from 30 minutes in maximum mode.
Handheld vacuum cleaner
The latest upright models already come with a handheld removable vacuum cleaner. The handheld vacuum cleaner allows for local cleaning and vacuuming of hard-to-reach surfaces, and it is also convenient to use in cases where there is no way to move bulky equipment with you. It is suitable for cleaning furniture, blankets, clothes, carpets, mattresses, curtain rods, etc. from dust. It can be used not only in the house, but also in the car. For example, you can remove dust, hair and crumbs from your car.
Turbo brush
The principle of operation of a modern turbo brush is quite simple: due to the forces of the air flow (in the mechanical) or motor (in the electric), a special roller begins to rotate.For effective cleaning of the surface, such a roller has bristles that gently collect small debris. Also, depending on which surface you are cleaning, the turbo brush can run at different speeds.
On laminate, parquet, tile or linoleum, the movement of the roller slows down, and on various fleecy coatings, on the contrary, it increases in order to clean it more thoroughly. So if there are pets in the house or you have carpets on the floor, the turbo brush will be an indispensable thing. Such a vacuum cleaner very gently but effectively cleans even difficult carpets.
A turbo brush can be electric (with a built-in motor that makes it rotate) and mechanical (with blades that spin under the air currents and rotate the roller). Electric is definitely more powerful and more efficient, so we recommend paying attention to models with such a brush.
Weight
The device should be light - this is one of the most important characteristics of a vacuum cleaner. Cleaning with a lightweight vacuum cleaner will be less tiring. Check the weight before purchasing the device, otherwise cleaning will turn into a weight lifting competition. Ideally, this figure does not exceed 3-3.5 kg.
Noise level
This is a very significant characteristic for the device. Moreover, if the vacuum cleaner is planned to be used in a room where small children or animals live. When choosing an upright vacuum cleaner for your home, it is better to test it immediately before purchasing, without relying on the declared performance indicators.
The optimum noise of the vacuum cleaner is up to 80 dB. By the way, the same model may have different noise levels. The instructions are supposed to indicate the maximum possible. Noise level can depend on many factors, such as the type of nozzle used or the type of floor covering.
Price
On average, good models of vertical vacuum cleaners are in the price range of 12-15 thousand rubles - about this cost you need to focus on when buying. More expensive models have their own cost due to optional features and attachments that you can do without.
