A floor vacuum cleaner? with a bag? What is this, this bag? What do we do with her? How do you put it?
Bring me my vacuum cleaner!
There are things we thought had disappeared from the world. Tell a 20-year-old guy that "you've lost your token" or show him Sipolox and ask what it is and he won't exactly understand what you're talking about.
This is also the case with vacuum cleaners. Everyone at home today has a cyclonic cordless vacuum cleaner that sticks to the wall. Vacuuming with filter bags? Hello, we are not in the nineties. But every rule has an exception. The German concern Karcher announced in the last two years the launch of two vacuum cleaners - WD1 COMPACT and WD3 BATTERY PREMIUM. These are floor vacuums with a battery with a digital display that vacuum both dry dust and wet surfaces. The WD1 includes a blower with an 18V battery, which provides a working time of 10 minutes. It has a strong and shock-resistant collection tank with a volume of 7 liters and a suitable suction hose with special accessories for cleaning the interior of the vehicle and weighs 3.1 kg.
Its official price is NIS 1,290, but now you can get it at a sale price of NIS 599.
The WD3 is the device that intrigued me more and I received it for testing. This is also a dry/wet wireless vacuum cleaner, only the collection tank has a volume of 17 liters - about 50 times that of a standard wireless vacuum cleaner. The vacuum cleaner has a locking system, PULL&PUSH, a strong suction tube and floor accessories for optimal dirt collection and perfect cleaning. The vacuum cleaner has a KARCHER 36V battery, which allows powerful suction for about 30 minutes.
The biggest difficulty in testing such a vacuum cleaner is the stigma. After a decade of getting used to the narrow gun vacuums, there is nothing sexy about a round vacuum. And despite that, when we started pumping we discovered a whole world. First, despite its clumsy appearance, this device is very light and comfortable. You don't need to catch it, just hold the suction tube and it will move with you. In addition, it has a powerful suction power. No, friends, this is not your ordinary cordless vacuum cleaner.
It is more accessible to the problematic places, more flexible, has a larger capacity and pumps much, much more, not just quantitatively. When I used it, I couldn't believe how quickly and easily it would manage to attach to it the hairs of the dog (a good soul like her) and the cat (feline scum) that had accumulated in the last few days on the couches and the floor.
The rechargeable battery is definitely impressive and gives power. The duration of its work is up to 30 minutes - less than the standard time of a wireless vacuum cleaner, but remember that in the turbo mode the wireless vacuum cleaners also work less - 10-12 minutes, and here it is a better performance than the turbo mode of a wireless vacuum cleaner. Even so, it's still only 30 minutes and charging takes about 4.5 hours. This means that if you want to clean a house in a large area, you will need a replacement battery, and the price of the battery alone, according to Karsher's website, is NIS 890 - definitely not worth every pocket.
The wet suction mode is nice. This is a function that even standard vacuum cleaners don't really tend to fulfill. In this case, take out the bag, connect the suction hose and start pumping, as the device is also effective in drying small puddles formed in your garden as a result of rain or just mud that you brought home during this rainy season.
The price of the vacuum cleaner (including battery) currently stands at NIS 899, significantly lower than its "official" price - NIS 1,490.
The plastic and design are simple, but if you have a small house or a yard where the leaves disturb your rest, this is a very effective device and the cost is significantly lower than wireless vacuum cleaners.
Powerful operation very easy to operate huge capacity. Simple mechanics, flexibility and reaching every corner of the room, reliability
Clumsy appearance is difficult to store in a small house Relatively short battery activity for charging time (30 minutes of activity, more than four hours of charging) Expensive replacement battery
The clumsy look might put you off, but this is an excellent product for the price. After the stigma obstacle it is very easy to fall in love with him, but not under all conditions.
Who will he help?
For people who have a yard, for those who keep animals and for those who, for whatever reason, get wet decorating their floor or yard. It's hard to ignore the introduction - modern cordless vacuum cleaners are much more convenient to use - but I came to know that this device can reach monstrous levels of cleanliness and the truth? I'm totally fine with him.
