How to adjust the operation of the vacuum cleaner

First, choose an expensive professional model - cheap equipment will not only be useless, but can also cause damage to health by polluting the air.
Be prepared for the fact that you will use a washing vacuum cleaner for a lot of cleaning - buy a regular inexpensive unit with a dust collection bag for every day.
Store a vacuum cleaner with an aqua filter disassembled - this way you will reduce the likelihood of fungal growth.
Carefully read reviews about the model you have your eye on. An experienced user can point out nuances that the manufacturer is silent about.
Use an anti-foaming additive for the water tank so that if the cleaning agent gets into it, the liquid will not splash out.
Adequately assess the area you are going to clean regularly. Don't save money by buying a small, cheap vacuum cleaner for a huge home. Otherwise, the operation of the equipment will turn into hell with constant changes of water - several times during cleaning - leaks and stench in the tank.
Do not try to suck up greasy construction debris with a washing vacuum cleaner - this is absolutely useless and harms the equipment.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

When choosing such a device, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with its functions and capabilities.

You need to pay attention to several parameters:

Power consumption and suction power . These are different parameters. The first shows the load of the operating device on the electrical network, and the second shows the force with which the vacuum cleaner draws in dirt. The greater the suction power, the more efficient the vacuum cleaner will be. For domestic conditions, vacuum cleaners with a suction power of 350-400 W are suitable.
Filtration system . Today there are several options for filtration systems: HEPA filters, separator filters, water filters. The best option would be a device with at least a three-stage cleaning system.
Equipment . The more different attachments a vacuum cleaner comes with, the better the cleaning will be.
Water tank volume . For small apartments, a capacity of 3-4 liters will be sufficient; for larger houses, it is worth choosing devices with tanks of 5-10 liters.
Noise level . Comfort while using the vacuum cleaner depends on this parameter. In some models, the noise level can reach up to 85 dB. However, sometimes the motor is located under the tank, which reduces the noise level.

TOP 3 best washing vacuum cleaners by price/quality for 2020

The range of washing vacuum cleaners presented on the market in 2020 is truly huge, so choosing several suitable devices was very difficult. But each model from the selection has the necessary functionality for high-quality cleaning of the house.

Thomas Twin Panther

An excellent washing vacuum cleaner from a well-known manufacturer of household appliances will make everyday cleaning easy and enjoyable.

The device can be regarded as a full replacement for a mop, because with its help you can not only collect debris and dust from the floor, but also carry out wet cleaning. A special attachment is provided with the vacuum cleaner.

It performs several functions at once: sprays clean water, cleans the surface of dirt and dries it.

Thanks to this, the floor becomes perfectly clean in just a few minutes.

The vacuum cleaner can also be used for dry cleaning. To do this, the kit includes a durable bag with a HEPA filter, which collects dust and debris.

The dust container capacity is 6 liters, so it is enough to clean a large room.

A bracket with a lid is provided to secure the bag, so it can be easily closed and stored in a closet.

The manufacturer also took care of a large volume of water tank. The case contains two containers: for clean and dirty water (2.4 and 4 liters, respectively).

Thanks to its large capacity, the vacuum cleaner can clean a large room without adding clean water or emptying the dirty water tank.

Specifications:

power cord length 6 m;
weight 8.4 kg;
power 1600 W.

pros

high suction power provides high-quality dry and wet cleaning;
capacious bag with a filter for collecting dust;

Bosch BWD421PRO

This versatile, power-cleaning vacuum cleaner comes with multiple attachments that allow you to clean any surface..

With this device you can clean smooth floor coverings and carpets from dust and debris, remove spilled liquid from the floor and carry out wet cleaning.

A HEPA filter is installed in the case, which perfectly purifies the air leaving the device case.

The filter is reusable: when it gets clogged, you just need to remove it, wash it and put it back. This will help you save on the purchase of consumables.

The manufacturer has prudently equipped the vacuum cleaner with a spacious container for water.

Its volume is 5 liters, so the user can clean the entire house or apartment at once without changing the water in the container.

Once cleaning is complete, the container can be easily removed from the housing for washing.

The kit includes a special turbo brush for cleaning carpets . It not only collects dust and small debris, but also perfectly cleans fluffy surfaces of hair and animal fur.

Thanks to this, this model of vacuum cleaner can be safely recommended to pet owners, families with children or allergy sufferers.

Cons of washing vacuum cleaners

There are important nuances in the operation of an aquafilter, which, if used incorrectly, can turn into significant shortcomings that prevent high-quality cleaning.

I consider it necessary to convey to you that the aqua filter does not retain all debris. There is so-called non-wettable dirt - particles coated with grease or water-repellent impregnation. Moisture is powerless against them. For example, these could be pieces of construction waste - shavings, polymer trimmings, etc. - greased wool, waterfowl feathers, plastic sawdust, etc. Keep this in mind when purchasing to avoid waste and disappointment.
If the power is incorrectly adjusted, the aqua filter can allow a lot of dust to pass through. This happens if the motor rotates the dirt too quickly and its particles remain encapsulated in air bubbles. If these bubbles do not have time to burst before the vacuum cleaner drowns them - and this often happens - some of the dust will fall back into the room and the air will become even more polluted.
One of the main parameters that distinguishes washing vacuum cleaners from conventional ones is their rather large dimensions. A container of water simply won’t fit in a compact model. Typically such units weigh at least 10 kg.
Devices with an aquafilter do not overcome obstacles in the form of thresholds, steps and thick seams on the coating. You will have to carry the vacuum cleaner, otherwise water from the chamber will splash and the device may short out.
When operating at high suction speeds, liquid may evaporate from the container, falling below the permissible level. This negatively affects the quality of air purification.
If you are vacuuming a large, heavily soiled area with a small water container, the excess debris may push the liquid out. You will have to change the water often, and this is inconvenient.
A vacuum cleaner with an aqua filter is not for the lazy. It makes cleaning easier, but caring for it is more difficult. After each use, it is necessary to disassemble the device and thoroughly wash and dry all parts. This applies not only to the water chamber, but also to the foam parts of the brush, hose, and filters, which must be cleaned regularly. Otherwise, mold will quickly form inside the washing vacuum cleaner, and an unpleasant odor will spread throughout the apartment. Needless to say, this is not only unsightly, but also dangerous to health.
Care must be taken to ensure that detergent does not get into the water container. Otherwise, excessive foam will form in the tank, which inevitably leads to the formation of strong splashes and leakage of the vacuum cleaner.

If you are upset by the shortcomings I have listed, do not rush to refuse the purchase. Almost all of these disadvantages can be eliminated.

Criterias of choice

What to look for when choosing a washing vacuum cleaner:

Suction power. Average value 300–400 kW. For carpet, 300 kW is enough, but to wash a long-pile carpet, you will need a power of at least 450 kW.
Energy consumption. Everything is simple here: the lower the required power, the more economical the device is. The average value is 1000–2500 W.
Container volume. Depends on the model and its purpose. On average, the volume ranges from 2 to 10 liters. Some professional units for industrial purposes may have a larger expansion, up to 20 liters. For an ordinary apartment, a tank of 5–8 liters is sufficient.
Filtration system. The thoroughness of cleaning directly depends on the quantity and quality of filters. The vacuum cleaner absorbs microparticles of dust, dirt, wool, and the remains of microorganisms. So that all this cloud does not fall back into the room, but remains inside, powerful cleaning systems are needed. The ideal option is to have an aqua filter. It not only traps dust, but also humidifies and ionizes the air.
Number of attachments and their capabilities. 6-7 nozzles are enough to clean any surface. A special roller is provided for glass and mirrors. For cleaning hard-to-reach places, a small narrow nozzle with a brush at the end.
Cord length. It should not be less than 6 m. The optimal size is 8–10 m.
Noise level. Washing vacuum cleaners are loud devices.
Ease of use. A vacuum cleaner that is too bulky makes cleaning difficult. Check the device in the store; ideally, it should be easy to operate with one hand.

An additional advantage will be the presence of a steam generator. Steam treatment with air heated to 100–120º C allows not only to clean, but also to disinfect surfaces.

Which one to choose: a washing or regular vacuum cleaner?

A regular vacuum cleaner is much more familiar to buyers. It has advantages, among which the main role is played by price and ease of use.

Using washing equipment, you can do dry and wet cleaning, wash floors, windows and window sills. It works as an air freshener and collects spilled liquid.
