How to choose a vacuum cleaner? Which one should I choose, horizontal or handheld?

When buying a Vacuum Cleaner, don't rush to look at the performance and brand. 

First, you should understand the classification. It will be more effective to determine the classification before buying!

From the appearance point of view, Vacuum Cleaners can be divided into barrel type, horizontal type, vertical type, and handheld type.

Barrel type vacuum cleaners are dual-purpose models for wet and dry use, with strong suction and excellent quietness, but they are large in size and not suitable for home use. They are mainly used in public places such as hotels and shopping malls.

Vertical vacuum cleaners are suitable for cleaning large areas of carpets. They are relatively large in the European and American markets, but there are few large areas of carpets in domestic households. Gradually, they have evolved into portable + vertical two-in-one. In addition to vertical cleaning of the floor, its body can be disassembled into a handheld vacuum cleaner, and it can be equipped with a variety of accessories to clean sofas, tables, cars, etc.

Although the two-in-one has benefits, it also has many problems. It is noisy, has a small dust capacity, is not as light as the handheld type, and has a weak suction force. This is very embarrassing.

The mainstream of household vacuum cleaners nowadays is horizontal and handheld. Today, I will mainly share with you how to choose these two types of vacuum cleaners.

Horizontal vacuum cleaners are the models with the highest market share of household vacuum cleaners.

Advantages: strong and long-lasting suction, no need to consider battery life when plugged in, large dust capacity, and relatively cheap price.

Disadvantages: loud noise, bulky appearance, and inconvenient to drag the body when using.

Horizontal vacuum cleaners are suitable for users who have high requirements for cleanliness at home, because detailed cleaning requires long-lasting and strong suction, which is the strength of horizontal vacuum cleaners. If the home area is large, horizontal vacuum cleaners are more recommended.

Handheld vacuum cleaners are also called rod vacuum cleaners. They are relatively popular vacuum cleaners in recent years. They are small and exquisite in appearance and very beautiful.

Advantages: The body is light and mostly rechargeable. There is no need to consider the problem of wires. Whether it is on the ground or high, it can be easily cleaned. With a variety of brush heads, it can clean sofas, beds, car seats, keyboard gaps, etc.

Disadvantages: The power is generally not high, and the suction power is much worse than that of horizontal vacuum cleaners. In addition, the battery life is average, and the battery decay will be more obvious after a long time of use, and the price is generally high.

Handheld vacuum cleaners are suitable for users who have high requirements for convenience of use. In addition, they are more practical for users who keep cats and dogs at home, and it can be said that it is very convenient to clean sofa beds.

After you determine the type, you should know the following points when purchasing:

1. Pay attention to the suction power.

The power of the vacuum cleaner is divided into the use power and the suction power.

The use power refers to the power of the fan. The horizontal vacuum cleaner is generally between 1000w-2500w, and the handheld vacuum cleaner power is between 300w-600w.

The suction power refers to the embodiment of suction power. The horizontal vacuum cleaner is generally between 200w-500w, and the handheld vacuum cleaner power is between 20w-150w.

Generally speaking, the suction power is more than 20% of the use power, which is considered to be excellent.

Take a horizontal vacuum cleaner as an example. Product A has a power of 1000w and a suction power of 200w. Product B has a power of 1200w and a suction power of 300w. Product B is naturally superior. You can also calculate the product parameters yourself when purchasing, which to a certain extent represents the fan quality and air duct design of the product. You can also refer to this comparison idea when purchasing a handheld vacuum cleaner.

2. Pay attention to the dust collection method.

The dust collection method of the vacuum cleaner is divided into dust bag type and dust box type. Horizontal vacuum cleaners have both, and handheld vacuum cleaners only have dust box type.

When the dust bag vacuum cleaner is working, the inhaled air and dust pass through the dust bag, and the dust is left in the air and discharged. This method has high dust removal efficiency, stable machine performance, and will not be affected by other factors.

The disadvantage is that it is inconvenient to clean. After using it several times, you need to replace the dust bag. The consumption of the dust bag is also a cost for users.

The dust bag vacuum cleaner is suitable for users who do not like to clean dust, especially users with sensitive respiratory tracts. Cleaning dust may cause allergies. In this case, it is recommended to choose a dust bag type.

The dust box type can be cleaned by washing with water. The dust box of many brands is designed to open the lid with one button, which is convenient for users to pour out the collected dust.

When buying a dust box vacuum cleaner, you must choose a product with air-dust separation technology, because the dust box cannot filter. Air-dust separation can use centrifugal force to keep the dust in the dust box and discharge the air from the air outlet.

Because air-dust separation cannot completely separate the dust, some dust will be discharged through the air outlet, so the air outlet of the dust box vacuum cleaner must be equipped with a filter, and the HEPA filter is best.

If a brand has average air-dust separation technology and the grade of the product outlet filter is not high, don't buy it, otherwise the vacuum cleaner will collect dust in front and you will eat dust in the back.

3. Pay attention to some additional functions.

Pay attention to the length of the wire and the way of winding the wire for horizontal vacuum cleaners. The length of the wire is generally about 7 meters, which is very convenient. Some models can operate at a radius of up to 11 meters. If the wire is long, storage is a problem. Some models have a one-button automatic winding function, which can be said to be very practical.

Handheld vacuum cleaners need to pay attention to battery life and the number of accessories. The battery life is related to whether it can clean for a long time, and the number of accessories determines how many functions you can expand.

Noise issues do not need to be too concerned, because the noise is very loud, whether it is a horizontal or handheld vacuum cleaner, it is around 60 decibels to 80 decibels.

Next, I recommend a high-quality brand product to everyone!

1. TENGBA

TENGBA is a well-known vacuum cleaner brand. TENGBA vacuum cleaners have excellent air-dust separation technology, and most of the vacuum cleaner filters are HEPA. The dust removal effect is good, and the humanized design is also relatively good, such as the foot-operated 6-level wind power adjustment switch, the 7.5-meter-long power cord can be stored with one button after use, and it is also equipped with a variety of brush heads, which can clean electrical appliances, sofas, and car seats. It is very practical.
