Appearance and functionality

Vacuum cleaner with a modern design, made in silver color with turquoise inserts: waste container, buttons, brush bottom. You can use the vacuum cleaner with or without the extension handle attached. When installed, the height of the vacuum cleaner increases from 84 to 120 cm, which is more ergonomic considering the height of the person. In addition, it is on it that the steam supply button is located.

The capacious dust container is made of transparent plastic, which allows you to control its fullness. The container is removed using a button, then you need to bring it to the trash can, open the lid. It is located at the bottom, making it easier to empty the container. Air is purified from dust by means of a cyclone chamber, where it is accelerated by centrifugal force, sifting out debris. Additionally, foam and fibrous filters are installed, as well as fine filters, which filter out the smallest dust particles.

Kitfort-KT-535 has only one brush measuring 30x27x9 cm. It is configured for cleaning hard surfaces as it has two wheels at the pipe attachment point and two swivel castors at the front for easy maneuvering. The brush rotates 45 ° horizontally and 70 ° vertically. Due to the design and the large motor unit, it will not be possible to penetrate deeply under the furniture with a brush.

Dry cleaning is done on the front of the brush. It has a slit for sucking in dust, two small brushes on the sides and a row of lint behind, which are designed to direct debris to the hole.

To carry out wet processing, you need to put on a special mount on the brush. Pull a cloth over it, and pour water into a special compartment. Steam permeates through the fabric, separating any dirt that remains on the rag. Steam can be turned on with a lever on the handle.

Control buttons are located on the body of the vacuum cleaner:

Large round button to turn on with the corresponding image. When active, it is highlighted in green.
"Vacuum cleaner". Serves to turn on and off the dust collection mode. When activated, an indicator under the button lights up.
The steam button allows you to change the delivery power. Works in two modes. The selected state is indicated by the corresponding lamps: Min / Max.

Advantages and disadvantages

Kitfort-KT-535 advantages:

collects dust and debris well;
leaves no debris along skirting boards thanks to side brushes;
in the wet cleaning mode, copes with very heavy dirt;
voluminous dust collector;
good filtration quality;
filters can be washed under water;
simple control;
there is a place for winding the cord;
small size;
vertical parking makes it easy to find storage space.

Disadvantages:

it gets a little stuck on carpets, steam cleaning will not work due to the impossibility of sliding the fabric nozzle;
with prolonged cleaning, the hand gets tired due to the significant weight;
the brush is not very maneuverable;
mains power (the cord clings, gets confused).

The cost of a vacuum cleaner is about 10 thousand rubles. Having considered the possibilities and disadvantages, we can conclude that it is best suited for cleaning large rooms with a minimum of furniture, where the floor is made of tiles, linoleum and other hard surfaces. This will get rid of dust and debris, as well as wet cleaning with steam. For small apartments cluttered with furniture and covered with carpets and paths, it will be completely ineffective.
