TOP 20 best inexpensive vacuum cleaners according to customer reviews

Inexpensive vacuum cleaners are modern models with the function of collecting liquid and dust, with the usual bag or cyclone filter. The cheapest TOP model is 3500 rubles, the most expensive is 19 thousand. You can take a multifunctional vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter for 6 thousand rubles, or add another 5 and buy a robot vacuum cleaner. Manufacturing companies - foreign and domestic. Models - wired / wireless, vertical / horizontal. Therefore, in the article, I divided all devices into categories according to their main features. Consider the rating of the best inexpensive vacuum cleaners in 2020, according to users and experts.

What to look for when choosing

Vacuum cleaner type - traditional, manual, vertical, robotic.

1. Traditional is the most common construction familiar to most users. The main body contains a dust collector and a motor. The collapsible telescopic tube is pushed onto the suction hose. Design advantages: the presence of wheels, which facilitates transportation, easy assembly / disassembly, long-playing filter bag. Cons: you need to take out the bag all the time, shake out the dust by hand, which is inconvenient and unhygienic, part of the dust flies onto a person, you have to constantly wash the bag, getting rid of fine dust.
2. Manual is an ideal technique for cleaning in a car interior, in narrow niches of wardrobes, on shelves. The models work either from the built-in battery or from the mains. Pros: portable, maneuverable, supplied with small attachments. Cons: not suitable for floor cleaning, low suction power.
3. Vertical. They produce low-power and powerful models. Perfectly clean smooth surfaces: linoleum, tiles, parquet. Pros: compact, suitable for a small apartment, does not take up space, is stored in a closet, bathroom, behind a curtain. Cons: you cannot use them to remove cobwebs, upper shelves, clean carpets with long pile. Unstable construction, must be sloped during storage.
4. Robot vacuum cleaner. Multifunctional gadget for performing automatic cleaning without the participation of the owners. Types from simple dry cleaning machines to sophisticated dry / wet cleaning devices on a schedule. Pros: free from routine work. Cons: high price of models that perform all the processes on their own. Simpler ones still require a person's presence. Not all units clean carpets.

Suction power

Not to be confused with power consumption, it does not affect the quality of cleaning. How do you determine if there is enough power for your needs? If all floor coverings are smooth (laminate, linoleum, carpet), there are no pets or small children, then the power of 300-350 W is sufficient. If the floors are covered with long pile carpets, there are children, animals, consider a gadget with a suction power of 450 watts. Are you going to use for wet cleaning of dust from carpets, curtains, tapestries? Buy with 550 watts. For cleaning upholstered furniture - 650 W. For professional cleaning - from 700 W.

The value indicated in the characteristics is not constant for bag and cyclone filters.As the container / bag fills, it drops. Only for aquafilters, this characteristic is unchanged.

Dust collector type

A special container is used to collect dust: a bag, a container, an aquafilter. Bags are easy to replace after filling, paper bags are sold for single use, so as not to wash or wash linen. In cyclonic types, due to the powerful vortex flow, a funnel is formed, like a small tornado. Particles of dust, debris are drawn into the container, pressed, knocked into a tight lump. After finishing work, it is enough to shake out the contents and rinse the container.

The reservoir in the aquafilter is filled with water, collected debris and dust gets into it. After cleaning, the water is simply drained into the sewer. A cyclone filter is usually installed in a robot vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning type

Dry or wet. The advantages of the models of the traditional method of cleaning are compactness, easy maintenance. If there is a power regulator, it is allowed to clean surfaces of different types: curtains, pillows, carpets. The advantages of models for wet cleaning are thorough dust removal from upholstered furniture, mattresses, general floor washing, air humidification. Cons - difficult to maintain, assemble, require preliminary surface treatment, dust removal.

Dust collector volume

Everything is clear here: the more, the less often you need to clean and empty the container. The large volume of the container is especially important for pet owners: cleaning the container from wool takes as much time as cleaning itself.

Vertical parking

A groove is made on the body to secure the pipe with a brush for storage in an upright position. In the second case, stability during vertical storage is meant. This characteristic is important for traditional and hand-made models.

Power cord length

Almost all traditional and some models of the manual type are powered from the mains, which means attachment to the current source, limitation of mobility. The standard cord length is 3-5 meters. In small apartments, length is not so important when choosing, but owners of spacious rooms need to think about comfort: perhaps abandon the classic version and pay extra for a model with a cord from 5 to 12 meters.

The weight

It is worth paying attention when buying a manual type of cleaner, take into account that the entire load will fall on the hand. Weights are indicated as net - no accessories required.

Equipment

One of the points that increase the price of the price. But if the kit includes replaceable filters, brushes (especially for robotic vacuum cleaners), an assortment of replaceable nozzles is provided, then it is better to consider a complete model than to buy everything separately later. I recommend that you pay attention to the size of the turbo brush in the kit, take into account the processing area with this nozzle. Sometimes the length of the turbo brush is up to 50 mm, this is the size of the middle fist. "Normal" equipment includes 2-3 different attachments, replaceable HEPA filters, a tube, a hose, for stand-alone models - a battery or a charger.

Battery capacity included

Indicated in mAh. Indicates how much power the batteries are storing. Over time, the value drops (remember from mobile phones). In vacuum cleaners, the load is greater, the capacity begins to fall faster. Replacing the battery is costly, it costs up to 50% of the total price of the gadget. Therefore, it is more rational to purchase inexpensive equipment: the same robot for 7 thousand with a set of necessary functions, than to pay more for a brand.

Battery life

Directly proportional dependence on the size of the capacity. The larger the capacity, the longer the battery life. This is usually 10–20 minutes without loss of suction power.

Battery type included

The parameter is important for autonomous vacuum cleaners - vertical, manual, robotic. There are 2 types of batteries used: NiMH - nickel-metal hydride or LI-ION - lithium-ion. The former are cheaper, but in comparison with LI-ION they last longer (they can withstand more charge / discharge cycles). But in LI-ION there is no memory effect, the ability to self-discharge.

Therefore, find out in advance the type of batteries, the type of battery of the gadget, as this affects the service life and maintenance of the capacitive charge.

Handle power control

A very handy feature for powerful instances. By moving the regulator lever, the slotted hole on the pipe is opened, the suction power decreases. Easier to move the nozzle on smooth surfaces, stops "suction" and sticking to thin materials.

Possibility of connecting an electric brush

New gadgets have it. The electric brush works on electricity, regardless of the main unit, creates an air flow, does not allow the suction power to drop even with a full dust collector.

Inexpensive vacuum cleaners with aquafilter

When water vacuum cleaners first appeared on the market, everyone dreamed of having this unit in the house, however, the price was not for everyone. Now almost all manufacturers produce vacuum cleaners with water cleaning technology at a reasonable price. The main advantage of this technique is that debris and dust gets into the water container. Heavy particles settle and have no way to escape back into the atmosphere. To achieve the maximum level of cleaning with inexpensive vacuum cleaners, additional filters are applied to them. Then you get effective cleaning and air humidification for little money.

Considering that the container with water serves both as a container for garbage and as a filter, it should be cleaned after each cleaning cycle. The most common models of the budget compartment are as follows.

FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3

The products of the Austrian manufacturer open the TOP of the budget segment. The vacuum cleaner performs two types of cleaning - wet and dry. Powerful but noisy - 78 dB. Simple traditional control, no power adjustment. The volume of the dust collector of 6 liters is sufficient for treating the floor in a 2-room apartment. In addition to cleaning, it cleans, humidifies the air, and reduces electrification. Can be used to collect moisture, including condensation on windows and panels. According to reviews, it effectively removes animal hair, small and large debris, even small fragments of glass, but it is better not to collect building dust. Tall (53 cm), no vertical parking, you need to immediately think about storage space.

Pros:

• excellent functionality 2 in 1 (dry / wet cleaning) for only 6000 rubles;
• moisturizes, ionizes the air;
• three nozzles included;
• sucks up small and medium debris;
• large container for collecting dust. Easy to assemble / disassemble;
• stable design - does not tip over, does not overturn;
• simple emptying of the container (wool and hair curl into a ball, easily removed from the waste liquid), the rest of the suspension is simply poured into the toilet.

Minuses:

• very loud;
• the length of the sliding tube is not enough (80 cm), you have to bend over;
• overall height.

After reading the description of the model, user reviews, I came to the conclusion that I would definitely buy myself a FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3. For 6 thousand rubles I would have a vacuum cleaner and a washer of upholstered furniture and carpets. And still there would be no wool from animals everywhere, no need to buy an air humidifier. But if you need a larger container volume, for example, 20 liters, like the Thomas BRAVO 20S Aquafilter, you will have to pay another 3500 rubles.

Shivaki SVC 1748

A vacuum cleaner of a Japanese manufacturer with a water filter that precipitates dust, and with additional treatment in a HEPA filter for particles up to 0.01 microns in size. Unlike FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3 for dry cleaning only. The manufacturer writes that the model was invented for hospitals. That is, tune in that large debris remains on the surface even with the promised suction power of 410 watts. Saves energy and consumes 400 W less power than the FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3 (2200/1800 W). The mechanism for adjusting the suction power on the body is not very convenient. As they say in the reviews, it is not particularly needed, it does not suck in objects and tissues. The power cord is long, more than the standard 5 meters - 6 m, it reaches the far corners in the room without additional extension.

Pros:

• the price - 7500 rubles - is more affordable in comparison with the models of the advertised brands. The same functionality and characteristics are almost 2 times cheaper;
• does not blow dust into the air;
• perfectly catches dust: in the reviews they write that after six months of use, the paper filters inside the unit remained white;
• leaves no dust odor, exhaust - from 99.5% pure air;
• long cord - 6 m.

Minuses:

• 80% of users in the reviews expressed the opinion that the cost of 7,500 rubles is overstated, the equipment should cost up to 5 thousand;
• inconvenient in storage, vertical parking of the brush is inconvenient to use;
• noisy;
• does not correspond to the declared suction power 410 W - maximum 300 W;
• small tank - 3.8 liters. It constantly has to be emptied, but there is no declared filling indication.

The reviews compare the Shivaki SVC 1748 with the Samsung SC8836 cyclone filter. Opinion of users: Shivaki is better, at the same price of 7,500 rubles, the first one has an aquafilter that retains 95.5% of dust, and Samsung has a "classic" multi-stage filtration system. In general, half of the reviews about the Shivaki model are positive, the main complaints are about the low suction power.

VITEK VT-1833

A model of a domestic manufacturer with an aquafilter and only for dry cleaning, like Shivaki SVC 1748. Compact, low, height only 27.7 cm. Easy storage due to vertical parking. The five-stage filtration system can handle the smallest particles, allergens and microorganisms. Due to natural evaporation of water, it humidifies the air during operation. Unlike Shivaki SVC 1748 and FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3, the set includes a Turbo Brush for efficient collection of wool and hair from carpets.

Pros:

• agile and easy to control;
• simple and hygienic maintenance, just rinse the container under running water, no dust;
• powerful, corresponds to the declared suction power of 400 W;
• a turbo brush included - ideally cleans carpets with medium and low pile, upholstered furniture, curtains from dust and wool;
• the length of the telescopic tube is adjusted by pressing a button;
• the final output filter remains white after 5–6 months of use. This confirms the manufacturer's claims of multi-stage filtration and dust retention up to 99.8%.

Minuses:

• noisy;
• short cord;
• the case is static and collects dust.

I believe that the model is many times better than the Shivaki SVC 1748, the difference in price is 400 rubles (7900/7500), but for 400 rubles you cannot buy a separate turbo brush, it costs 600–800 rubles. I like the multi-stage filtration system and users, each wrote in a review about "sterile" cleanliness after treatment with a miracle technique. The small volume is a little embarrassing - 3.5 liters, which is 300 ml less than that of Shivaki, but both of them will have to be emptied after each room. I am for Vitek and a turbo brush.

Thomas BRAVO 20S Aquafilter

The most expensive gadget of the German manufacturer in the TOP of aquafilters: its price is 9500 rubles. It is positioned as a washing vacuum cleaner for large areas: offices, apartments, private houses. Like the FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3, it is designed for wet and dry cleaning. But the volume of the container is 3.33 times larger (20 l / 6 l). The control is simple, with two buttons. Powerful water supply pump - 4 bar. The function of collecting liquid will allow you to collect up to 13 liters at a time (more than a bucket). There is a separate tank for dirty water with a capacity of 6 liters, for a detergent solution - for 3.6 liters. The set of attachments is simply impressive. A special nozzle included in the kit replaces the mop: it sprays water, washes the floor and dries immediately. A special nozzle for upholstered furniture cleans dust, renews the pile, removes stains on carpets or rugs., Equipped with a thread remover. The set includes a siphon nozzle for wet cleaning, necessary in the house. Penetrates clogged drains without physical effort. And universal with a switch for the type of surface treatment - dry / wet.

Pros:

• powerful multifunctional technology. Performs dry cleaning without bags, washes, cleans, breaks through blockages;
• richest complete set with nozzles;
• separate containers for dirty water and a cleaning solution;
• saves cleaning time: according to users' measurements, the vacuum cleaner “cleaned up” in a two-room apartment in 40 minutes. Whereas in normal mode (vacuum cleaner + mop) it takes up to 120–150 minutes;
• cleans absolutely all types of surfaces;
• humidifies the air, does not throw dust back into the room.

Minuses:

• difficult to assemble;
• no automatic cord winding;
• you need a special detergent composition without foam;
• the pipe is not telescopic, but composite. Sometimes backlash.

There are no reviews on the poor build quality or low cleaning performance of the Thomas BRAVO 20S Aquafilter. And about the fact that there is no automatic winding, you can bet that this is a minus. Remember that it flies first in an automatic winding machine.

It turns out that this vacuum cleaner has earned the right to be chosen for the care of a large apartment, office, private house. Worth the money. If you have a small apartment, save 3500 rubles and buy FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3.

Inexpensive bagless models (with cyclone filter)

Models with cyclonic filter, dry cleaning type, working on the principle of "hurricane". They suck up debris and dust with great force and retain them as much as possible. Therefore, all models of this type are undoubtedly endowed with high power. This, of course, is not an aqua cleaning, however, it is able to remove dust by 97%.

Vacuum cleaners are characterized by special ease of cleaning. Instead of a standard bag for collecting garbage and dust, it is equipped with a special reservoir. It does not require knocking out, it is enough just to pour the contents of the container into the trash and the vacuum cleaner is cleaned.

A transparent trash bin allows you to see the fill level, and sometimes find valuable things that inadvertently fell into it during cleaning. It works equally well, regardless of the degree of filling the container. There are also disadvantages. Somewhat noisy. A high level of noise from the very operation of the vacuum cleaner and from the knocking of what has entered the reservoir and circulate in it.

It collects pile and hair worse. Therefore, whoever needs it, especially pet owners, then think about whether you should choose this type. Let's take a look at the top of the best inexpensive vacuum cleaners in this category.

VITEK VT-8105

Another model of a domestic manufacturer from the budget segment - 5500 rubles. The cyclone system with four-stage filtration is guaranteed to perform highly efficient cleaning of coatings and air from the smallest dust, allergens, and microorganisms. Washable HEPA filter - additional protection against pathogenic bacteria, dust mites. The suction power does not decrease as the filter fills, it is constantly maintained at around 350 W. The filling of the dust container is accompanied by an indication. Although the volume of 5 liters should be enough for a 3-room apartment without a signal to shake it out. The manufacturer has thought over the ergonomics of placing nozzles in the compartment of the case.

Convenient storage thanks to vertical parking.

Pros:

• powerful suction power, for carpets you have to loosen the switch on the body, otherwise they stick;
• easy assembly / disassembly;
• there are different attachments;
• good cord length of 5 m, reaches the corners in the hall 4x6 m;
• easy filter care;
• large container volume - 5 liters.

Minuses:

• the first 2-3 times of operation are accompanied by the smell of heated plastic;
• no vertical parking;
• the wheels are spinning as if without bearings.

In my opinion, a great vacuum cleaner for a large house / apartment with animals, small children, allergy sufferers. The technique will not only clean the surfaces, but additionally rid the air of dust and allergens. Easy maintenance of the filter - just drove out everything collected, rinsed the flask. For more “sterile” home care, you will have to pay 4 thousand rubles and buy equipment with a Thomas BRAVO 20S Aquafilter aquafilter.

LG VK76A02NTL

Excellent in terms of suction power model for cleaning smooth and fluffy surfaces. There is no turbo brush in the kit, but the gadget copes with coarse and fine dust due to the innovative system "Ellipse Cyclone", and according to user reviews, at the same time with wool, threads, hair. The HEPA 11 multi-layer filter retains fine dust and does not throw it into the air. It is a little inconvenient to adjust the suction power, the levers are only in 2 positions and this is not enough to pull out the tulle or the thing from the brush nozzle. The minimum set of nozzles, but in the kit - all frequently used. The volume of the dust collector is small - 1.5 liters, so you will have to empty it often, but here the manufacturer made maintenance easier and put a full indicator.

Pros:

• stylish design;
• high suction power due to the Epsilon Cyclone system;
• efficient step filtration system;
• can be stored vertically;
• according to user reviews, corresponds to a price of 6 thousand rubles in terms of build quality and functionality.

Minuses:

• no power adjustment, only two buttons - "On" and Off.
• noisy;
• small volume of the dust collector, often you have to shake out the garbage.

A normal ordinary vacuum cleaner from a well-known brand, equipped with standard nozzles. If “label” is important, then this is your machine. For a larger upgrade and the addition of nozzles (the same turbo brush), you will have to pay 3800 rubles for the Philips FC9573 PowerProActiv. If cleanliness and elimination of allergens in the room are important, then for 6 thousand you can buy a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter FIRST AUSTRIA 5546-3.

Samsung SC8836

The most powerful in the dust suction rating - 430 watts. The manufacturer promises that due to the Super Twin Chamber technology, a clogged pre-engine filter will not reduce the indicator, and the duration of use will last 20% compared to the usual models of the brand. There is a unique brush from Samsung Silencio Force Brush, which provides maximum suction within a radius of 10 m. Instead of a fur insert, there is a bar with an antistatic material in the brush, there will be no dust sticking.

The soft bumper of the case will protect furniture from scratches in case of careless contact. Suitable for apartments or offices with a large area, the 7-meter cord gives access to the far corners without additional extension cords.

Pros:

• powerful, designed to serve large areas;
• does not lose suction power for a long time when the filter is full;
• equipped with an improved HEPA 13 microfilter;
• there is vertical parking;
• long power cord - 7 m, which is more than that of other TOP models;
• soft bumper on the body - furniture and slopes of openings will not be scratched. The body retains its integrity longer.

Minuses:

• for a power of 430 W and such large dimensions (36.5x28.2x49.2 cm), the dust collector could be increased in volume - not 2 liters, but 5 liters, as in VITEK VT-8105;
• very loud;
• the cover on the back of the case is deformed - where the HEPA filter is installed;
• ill-conceived device of the vacuum cleaner: the instructions say that you cannot pull the hose in working order, and there are no other devices on the body;
• the first filter is constantly clogged with hair and threads, the domed mesh filter works poorly;
• the motor may burn out after 2 years of operation.

According to user reviews, more than half regret the purchase of Samsung SC8836 and believe that the price of 7,500 rubles for it is overstated and unjustified. It is better to buy a bag Samsung SC4140 for 4 thousand rubles, if the brand is so important. And if you need quality, then I would pay 2 thousand extra and buy KARCHER VC 3.

KARCHER VC 3

The German manufacturer does not need much advertising. An excellent reliable vacuum cleaner for an apartment. Five-stage filtration system, removing dust from the air, which is important for everyone, not just for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. Price - 9500 rubles for high-quality assembly, cleaning efficiency, simple maintenance. The case design is unusual. Firstly, the bright yellow color of the plastic opaque parts, and secondly, the dust collector is brought forward. No indication is needed: it is enough to visually assess the fullness and shake out the dust. And it has to be removed often, since the volume of the container is small - 0.9 liters. The most economical rating model, consumes only 700 watts.

Pros:

• all users are unanimous in the opinion that the vacuum cleaner corresponds to the price of 9,500 rubles, justifies the expectations of the effectiveness of cleaning in the house;
• with a low power consumption, it has excellent suction power. The manufacturer does not indicate the parameter, but by experience, users "determined" its value - 320-350 W;
• ergonomic design, valve-shaped suction regulator on the telescopic tube;
• convenient filter maintenance and emptying;
• quiet;
• the minimum weight is 4.4 kg. Easy to carry by hand by the filter handle;
• the plastic is reliable, does not smell like chemistry;
• low profile at the main brush, it easily drives into low gaps under furniture.

Minuses:

• it is inconvenient to move: the wheels are rubberized, but they roll very tightly, you have to pull the hose;
• it is difficult to get the outflow filter for flushing, it is unrealistic to turn the plug;
• no turbo brush included.

The reviews are only positive, everyone is happy with the cleaning efficiency and packaging. I personally like the combination of minimum power consumption with normal suction power. The turbo brush is important, you can buy it for 600-800 rubles. Or immediately consider the model with it in the Philips FC9573 PowerProActiv kit, paying only 300 rubles.

Philips FC9573 PowerProActiv

The Japanese manufacturer, as always, is on top. The Philips FC9573 PowerProActiv Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner features the aerodynamic PowerCyclone 7 design that reduces air resistance and cleans the air in just 3 steps. Electricity consumption is immediately reduced to 1900 W with a high suction power of 410 W. For comparison: in Samsung SC 8836, with a maximum power of only 20 W higher (430 W), the power consumption is 300 W more (2200 W). The only negative is a very high noise of 82 dB. Like the VITEK VT-8105, there is a storage compartment for attachments. For me, a big plus is that the package includes a normal size turbo brush.

Pros:

• good combination of power consumption and suction power 1900/410 W;
• low - 28 cm, narrow - 28 cm, convenient for storage, there is vertical parking;
• cord - 6 m, you do not need to use extension cords in a 6x6 m room;
• turbo brush included, saving on purchase "from the outside" in 600-1000 rubles;
• perfectly rides on smooth and carpeted surfaces, rubberized wheels.
• extended complete set.

Minuses:

• noisy - roars like an airplane;
• integral rather than telescopic tube. Although this is debatable. Composite pipe is more reliable when working, you can press;
• it's bad that there is a non-removable cover on the dust collector. After work, dust adheres to it, you need a large bag to gently pour out the contents;
• quickly accumulates static electricity on the tube and body.

Users consider the model a "good" purchase. For 9800 rubles, you get all the attachments at once, a high-performance cleaner for the apartment. The only drawback is the small capacity - 1.5 liters, but the same for the models is cheaper, for the same LG VK76A02NTL (6 thousand rubles). If you have pets, allergy sufferers, small children and have to clean your apartment every day, then Philips FC9573 PowerProActiv is ideal.

Budget models with a bag

These are standard vacuum cleaner models. The collection of debris and dust is carried out in a bag, which can be reusable or disposable. In particular, the following types are presented among the best models in this category.

Scarlett SC-VC80B95

Low-cost equipment of a domestic manufacturer. The price of 3500 rubles determined the popularity of the model among buyers. An ordinary device with a reusable 2.5 l bag, with the usual control system of buttons on the case. Can be used for daily maintenance cleaning of all surfaces in the home, including carpets.

Pros:

• the cost of 3500 rubles for a classic powerful vacuum cleaner;
• bag full indicator, no need to constantly check for clogging with dust and debris;
• easy maintenance of the bag. Thick fabric does not let dust out;
• automatic cord winding;
• power adjustment on the body;
• easy movement of the device during operation;
• lightweight - only 3.7 kg.

Minuses:

• tactile contact with a dirty dust container;
• the suction power drops by almost half when the bag is filled by a third;
• does not collect wool from carpets with high pile.

Traditional assistant with bag and telescopic tube. Suitable for daily tidying up and general cleaning in apartments without animals, carpet cleaning. The low price (3500 rubles) for a modern device is the main argument to take the Scarlett SC-VC80B95. If you need something "more serious and modern", but inexpensive, you still have to pay 2 thousand rubles, since the budget cyclone VITEK VT-8105 costs 5,500. Or pay 500 rubles for Samsung SC4140 with a large dust collector (3 l) and five stages of filtration.

Samsung SC4140

Model of a well-known brand from the budget segment. The principle of operation is familiar to bag cleaners, only a modern 5-stage filtration system has been added and there is a forgotten feature - work on blowing, which can be useful, if not for spraying paint (as this function was used before), then for the prevention of computer technology for sure. Moreover, it gives out air purified from dust, retains all the smallest particles up to 0.01 microns. Quite good suction power of 320 W with a minimum energy consumption of 1400-1600 W. Scarlett SC-VC80B95 has this figure above 1900 watts. There is vertical parking. The length of the power cord is longer than usual - 6 m. And in the case, as in more expensive cyclone-type models, there is a compartment for storing nozzles. They are included in a set 2. Another attractive feature for me personally is that you can turn the hose by 3600 without any problems, that is, increased maneuverability.

Pros:

• inexpensive (4 thousand rubles) for such a number of upgrades - 5 stages of filtration, blowing, nozzle compartment, warranty - 3 years;
• powerful - 320 W, will serve an area up to 80 m²that is comparable to a 3-room runabout;
• economical, minimum consumption 1400 W, maximum 1600 W;
• long power cord - 6 m;
• radius of action - 9.2 m;
• not heavy - 3.76 kg.

Minuses:

• because it is very light, it rolls over.

You know, I would have paid extra 500 rubles and refused to buy Scarlett SC-VC80B95 in favor of Samsung. There are so many modern functions in it, and most importantly - a filtration system, like in a cyclone, for 6-7.5 thousand rubles - 5 stages of cleaning. I like this model, user reviews about it are only positive: most often they write about the ideal combination of price / functions / design / quality.

Philips FC9170 Performer

The most expensive in the TOP line with a bag - 10,500 rubles. Let's try to understand what is so special about the model, besides the brand. An immediate plus - the suction power of 500 W: enough to clean not only smooth surfaces, but also carpets with pile, upholstered furniture. True, for maximum power you will have to pay extra for electricity, consumption is 2200 watts. The volume of the dust collector is 4 liters, you will not shake it out after each room, and the suction will fall less from filling. The length of the cord is also impressive - 7 meters. The fabric of the s-bag is unusual: it retains up to 70-85% of fine dust.

Pros:

• powerful - 500 W;
• large body sizes and lengths of hoses. It is convenient to vacuum for tall people, no need to bend over;
• the length of the power cord is enough for cleaning large houses;
• agile like a Stoke stroller (from reviews);
• comfortable main brush Tri-Active;
• soft bumper protects against collisions, preserves the gadget body and furniture;
• quiet for such power;
• stylish appearance;
• disposable s-bags are inexpensive (100 rubles per 1 piece), enough for a month of intensive use.

Minuses:

• the strength of the footswitches is alarming - flimsy;
• poor-quality connection of the nozzle with a spring-loaded pin - backlash;
• inconvenient power adjustment - on the body, not on the handle.

Ideal for cleaning a large house, apartment. It is not inferior in the quality of dust removal to cyclone models at almost the same price. KARCHER VC 3 costs 9,500 rubles, but its power is almost 2 times less. If you are disappointed in aquafilters, cyclones, turbo brushes, then Philips FC9170 Performer is a worthy choice. Users write that they "suck like an animal" any garbage, wool, hair.

Inexpensive Upright Vacuum Cleaners

BBK BV2526

Model of a Chinese manufacturer for 4 thousand rubles. Performs dry cleaning in rooms, and due to the detachable manual module, you can clean the car, walk on shelves, curtains, upholstered furniture. Powered by Li-Ion battery for 25 minutes. Enough time to clean up one or two rooms. Good equipment with nozzles, the main thing is that there is a turbo brush. Enough power for cleaning wool and hair from low-pile carpet.

Pros:

• low price (4 thousand rubles) for a functional 2-in-1 gadget - a full-fledged and manual version;
• fast charging - only 4 hours;
• lightweight - 2.8 kg;
• the volume of the dust collector is 0.75 liters. The golden mean: if it were larger, the suction force would fall faster.If it were smaller, it would take time to empty it after every 10 m² (according to reviews);
• modern capacitive battery;
• the set includes a turbo brush and a dock station;
• beautiful bright design.

Minuses:

• unstable for storage, rides;
• the design of the dust collector is angular, dust accumulates at the top and does not have time to fall;
• the hand module can be pulled out tightly.

An excellent option for daily cleaning of a small apartment, cleaning the car interior, furniture, shelves and computer units. There is enough power and operating time for 1-2 rooms. Easy maintenance, and the vertical type will allow you to hide the gadget in the corner. Users recommend BBK BV2526 instead of branded models (compare with Dyson), which are 2 times more expensive, and the same in functionality.

Kitfort KT-535

Vacuum cleaner with steam supply directly to the brush. Performs 2 functions at once - dust collection, steam treatment. 1600 watts of power is enough for the device to do an excellent job of collecting dust, and 1100 watts of steam power removes the remaining dirt and stubborn grease. Suitable for cleaning large areas, equipped with 1 liter dust collector and 750 ml water tank. An excellent cord length - 7.5 meters - will allow you to reach the far corners. Recommended for parquet, laminate, linoleum, wood, ceramic tiles and carpets.

Kitfort KT-535 is good for the care of smooth surfaces: it immediately removes and washes. The high temperature of the steam kills bacteria and microorganisms. Simply made for families with small children and pet owners. But if you look at the price (9,500 rubles), then I would choose the Thomas BRAVO 20S Aquafilter for 6 thousand rubles with the aquafilter and processed not only smooth surfaces, but everything in the house.

The cheapest (11 thousand rubles) of powerful cordless vacuum cleaners. According to the manufacturer, Jimmy JV51 surpasses in all respects the expensive Dyson V8 / V7 models (25,900 rubles).

After the reviews, there is a double impression. Some praise and admire, others believe that he is more like an auxiliary cleaner, but not suitable for a general. But in any case, users rated the quality of cleaning as high. For 2–3-room apartments - a great alternative to bulky models. For the interior of large cars, it is also suitable, and for small cars, take a look at the domestic BBK BV2526. It is cheaper - only 4 thousand, and vacuums normally.

The REDMOND robot vacuum cleaner is able to clean all types of surfaces, while performing wet and dry cleaning. On one charge, REDMOND works up to 120 minutes - enough for cleaning a city apartment or a small house.

The REDMOND robot vacuum cleaner is quite quiet. Upon completion of work, it automatically gets up to charge.And the cleaning itself can be programmed for the desired time. And due to the low body height, the REDMOND robot vacuum cleaner easily penetrates under furniture.

The REDMOND robot vacuum cleaner has one manual and five automatic cleaning programs. And the increased volume of the dust container allows you to clean it less often.

BBK BV3521

Designed for cleaning smooth coatings from laminate, linoleum, tiles, wood, parquet. Intelligent programs and functionality of the gadget allow cleaning without the presence of the owners. 6 modes and control of the remote control, automatic return to the DOK station for recharging.

• NiMn battery, not Li-Ion.

A great thing that frees up time for daily cleaning. Yes, it will not replace cleaning work, but it will always maintain the level of cleanliness in the house: it will not only collect dust, wool, but also make a wet wipe. If you need a more "sophisticated" device with connection to the "Smart Home", then you will have to pay 2.5 times more for the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner.

Clever & Clean 004 M-Series

The domestic manufacturer's robot vacuum cleaner is intended only for dry cleaning of smooth floor and carpet surfaces with a small (up to 0.5 cm) pile. True, there is a possibility of an upgrade. You can buy a wet module and install it on the device. Price - 500 rubles more than BBK BV3521, due to the more expensive Li-Ion rechargeable battery. Stylish design is in trend with branded manufacturers of robotic gadgets. They are equipped with everything necessary for cleaning at once.

Pros:

• reliable and long-lasting Li-Ion battery without memory erasure and self-discharge;
• laconic, stylish design;
• easy to operate, easy to maintain;
• one charge is enough to service 30 m² (45 min.);
• belongs to mini-robots, the height is only 74 mm. Easily enter and exit from under the gaps under the upholstered furniture;
• restores charge, like BBK BV3521 - in 4 hours;
• corresponds to its price of 8 thousand rubles in terms of functionality and quality of cleaning;
• components are always available, are inexpensive (according to reviews).

Minuses:

• manual setting for charging;
• there is no option for local cleaning, programming according to the schedule, as in BBK BV3521;
• you need to remove all objects from the trajectory of its movement, including chairs and animal bowls.

The following can be summed up. For some reason, the reviews compare the model with stationary copies. The robot vacuum cleaner is excellent at keeping it clean, scooping dust and debris out of corners, and cleaning smooth surfaces. It saves time on routine daily work like a washing machine or dishwasher. If you need a device for generallocks or for removing dust from upholstered furniture and vertical surfaces, then take any rating model with a cyclone filter. If you still need a robotic assistant, then I would choose BBK BV3521, it will do a wet wipe without an upgrade, it can be programmed, it will not stop due to a low battery charge, but will go to the charger on its own.

iLife V7s Plus

Gadget for dry and wet cleaning in an apartment with an average area of ​​30 m²where pets live, there is a source of permanent waste (small children).Half an hour longer battery life than BBK BV3521 (120/90 min.). High suction power of 22 W (600 Pa) will not allow wool, hair, crumbs, small pieces of paper to remain on the surface. Unlike BBK BV3521 there is programming by days of the week, but there is no programming by time.

Pros:

• powerful Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery provides 120 minutes of battery life;
• equipped with infrared sensors for adaptation in space, instantly detects obstacles and bends around them. Height difference sensors when triggered stop the gadget, for example, at the edge of the table;
• the model specializes in cleaning thin carpet;
• improved water tank design, special pump prevents leakage;
• low noise level - 60 dB;
• attractive delicate color of the case - rose gold.

Minuses:

• the price is 12,900 rubles, it is too high;
• improvement of the reservoir - an extra "headache". The density is excellent, but a vacuum is created there, you have to stop the gadget and open the lid, otherwise water does not flow to the rag.

A normal assistant for daily care in an apartment with animals, small children. It will immediately remove garbage and wipe it, programming by days of the week and automatic sending to the docking station will save you from being present and monitoring the work. Better than it in terms of functionality, in my opinion, only Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner, however, for these improvements you will have to pay more than 7 thousand rubles.

Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The cheapest model in the line of smart gadgets is 19 thousand rubles, and if you buy on Aliexpress, you will save 4 thousand more.

The smart robot builds a route itself, generates a map of the room, automatically returns to the docking station, and continues cleaning from the last point. The main brush is movable, picks up in corners and within a radius of 1 m. The cleaning gap near the baseboards is only 1 cm. The speed of the side brushes varies according to the situation.

Modern robot vacuum cleaner with advanced orientation, powerful battery for autonomous operation of 150 min. An excellent helper in any family, cleans very cleanly (according to reviews). Fully automatic, set the day of the week, time and went about his business. You need control - I went from a smartphone, tracked the condition. I think it's not a pity to pay 15-19 thousand for such a gadget. Allergy sufferers probably need to choose a different model. Despite all the bonuses of Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner, control from a smartphone can be difficult, and it does not do wet cleaning. The most reliable and simple model BBK BV3521 for only 7 thousand rubles will do both types of cleaning, will come out in time, will return to recharge.
