Household cylindrical vacuum cleaners: What additional features are worth paying for?

The functions of household cylindrical vacuum cleaners on the market are becoming increasingly diverse, such as mite removal, wet mopping, and ultraviolet sterilization... Faced with a wide variety of additional functions, which ones are practical bonus points and which ones are just useless gimmicks?

What is truly worth considering is the "multi-functional pipette tip set". In addition to the basic floor brushes, these tips would be more practical: pet brushes (with rubber strips, easy to remove pet hair) are suitable for pet-owning families; The mattress suction head (with slapping function) can suck out mites and dander deep in the mattress. The electric curtain suction head (flat design + soft bristles) can clean the dust in the crevices of curtains and can be maintained without disassembly. This type of pipette tip can expand the cleaning scenarios and enable one machine to cover more demands.

The "Dust Full Reminder" function is very friendly to lazy people. Some models will give a light or sound prompt when the dust bucket is nearly full to prevent the suction power from dropping due to forgetting to empty the dust, which is especially suitable for busy office workers. The "Automatic cable retraction" function can save storage time. Press the button and the power cord will automatically retract, eliminating the need for manual winding, which is very friendly to users with less strength.

What needs to be chosen with caution are "overly fancy features". For instance, ultraviolet mite removal - its actual effect is limited by the duration and distance of exposure, and is far less effective than high-frequency slapping combined with strong suction. "APP intelligent control" is not necessary for the cylindrical vacuum cleaner. After all, it is easy to operate and does not require adjustment through a mobile phone. If the wet mopping function is not a dedicated model, its effect is often not as good as that of a separate mop, and the motor may also be damaged due to water leakage.

When choosing additional features, remember "practicality as the premise" : Prioritize functions that can solve the pain points of cleaning at home (such as choosing a pet brush for keeping pets), and ignore those flashy but impractical gimmicks. Only in this way can you purchase a model with high cost performance.
