Thomas allergy & family

Rating: 5.0

The first line of the rating goes to the vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers from the Thomas company, which supports the functions of dry and wet cleaning, and operates at 1700 W. At the same time, the noise level emitted by it in operation is quite high, and amounts to 81 dB. The problem is solved by adjusting the power indicator at a slight damage to the quality of suction. Thomas allergy & family uses an aqua filter with a capacity of 1.9 liters as a dust collector.

Among the additional characteristics of the vacuum cleaner, the complete set stands out: the standard number of attachments has been supplemented with a spray brush for furniture, an elongated slotted brush, Aqua Stealth for wet cleaning and a parquet brush made of horsehair. It is also worth noting the presence of a soft bumper and 8 meters of power cord, thanks to which the range is increased to 11 meters. With all its additions, Thomas allergy & family weighs only 8.5 kilograms – this is the normal weight for an electric washer vacuum cleaner.

Advantages

• acceptable power and the presence of its regulator;
• aquafilter 1.9 liters;
• 8 meters of power cord;
• compact overall dimensions;
• soft bumper;
• abundance of brushes for cleaning and storage space for attachments.

disadvantages

• not found.

ARNICA Bora 7000 Premium

Rating: 4.9

Now it's the turn of vacuum cleaners with a futuristic look. Vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers ARNICA Bora 7000 Premium places great emphasis on the visual component, which attracts the primary attention of users. And then it is simple: good characteristics and a more or less acceptable price. So, the maximum power of the model is 2400 W, at which up to 420 W of suction develops. This indicator can be adjusted using a relay on the case.

In order to reduce the overall dimensions and reduce the overall weight, manufacturers have equipped the ARNICA Bora 7000 Premium vacuum cleaner with a small (1.2 liter) dust collector with an aquafilter. Fully aware of the riskiness of the step, they added a double suction function and aromatization to the device. The set of nozzles included a turbo brush, and a standard HEPA 13 was matched to the aquafilter.

Advantages

• attractive design;
• powerful motor;
• double suction function;
• turbo brush included;
• the presence of a flavoring agent.

disadvantages

• small dust container.

KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean

Rating: 4.8

The traditional vacuum cleaner is a vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning allergy sufferers, which has become a favorite of users for its extremely low energy consumption and excellent suction power, regardless of the fullness of the dust container. The KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean motor consumes only 650 watts of energy, but at the same time is responsible for the quality of dry cleaning throughout the entire warranty period. It has a 2-liter aqua filter, a special defoamer, and a HEPA 13 cartridge at the air duct outlet.

As in any other advanced model, there is a special compartment for storing brushes and attachments necessary for cleaning furniture and hard-to-reach crevices. The layout of the KARCHER DS 6 Premium Mediclean vacuum cleaner made it possible to achieve compactness in the dimensions of the model, but its curb weight is 7.5 kilograms. This is a lot, given that cleaning areas are different: someone often has to carry a vacuum cleaner with them.

Advantages

• low-power and quiet motor;
• acceptable quality of cleaning;
• aquafilter for 2 liters;
• the presence of a compartment for nozzles;
• The optimum ratio of price and quality;
• compact size.

disadvantages

• great weight.

Dyson DC37 Allergy Musclehead

Rating: 4.7

An even more futuristic “creation” than the ARNICA Bora 7000 Premium, with far less attractive features, but special approval and recommendation for use by allergy sufferers. The power consumption of this device is 1300 W, while the suction power reaches 290 W. No adjustments to the power indicator are provided, and in this case it is justified.

The Dyson DC37 Allergy Musclehead uses a 2 liter plastic cyclone filter cup for its dust collector. Often it is this indicator that becomes decisive for buyers along with a special footnote and visual appeal. The vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers has a huge number of special attachments, boasts a range of 9.3 meters and the latest generation of fine filter element. Despite its small dimensions, it weighs about 7.5 kilograms, and it does not make noise to match the nominal power consumption.

Advantages

• has a recommendation for use by allergy sufferers;
• acceptable suction with low energy consumption;
• 2 liter dust collector;
• original appearance.

disadvantages

• up to 82 dB of noise with not the most powerful motor;
• heavy weight;
• high price.

Miele SKRR3 Blizzard CX1 Red

Rating: 4.6

The love of buyers for the Miele SKRR3 Blizzard CX1 Red allergy vacuum cleaner is due to the spacious dust collector, which is a cyclonic filter with a volume of 2 liters. As for the rest, there are no major differences with the models that are lower in the overall rating.

The maximum power consumption of the motor is 1100 W. Compared to a number of competitors, this figure is very low, and may suggest insufficient suction power. However, the cleaning quality of the Miele SKRR3 Blizzard CX1 Red allergy vacuum cleaner is all right. And the only paradox is that with such a low power indicator the motor makes 76 dB noise, that is, no less than its more powerful “brothers”. Also note its bulkiness and heavy weight in the region of 6.5 kilograms.

Advantages

• high quality cleaning with low energy consumption;
• spacious dust collector;
• convenient when placing due to the possibility of vertical parking;
• the presence of a power regulator and a dust collector full indicator.

disadvantages

• bulky and heavy for dry vacuum cleaners;
• high price;
• noisy.

Polti FAV30

Rating: 4.5

A model of a vacuum cleaner for asthmatics and allergy sufferers, which differs from the rest by the presence of a steam generator and a high price. Polti FAV30 allows you to perform dry, wet and steam cleaning anywhere in the house – a special extension and even a plastic scraper are supplied with the attachments. The power of the device is 2450 W, while its regulator is placed not on the body, as is practiced in models from competitors, but on the handle, which allows you to reach the required mode without unnecessary movements.

Since the Polti FAV30 vacuum cleaner is equipped with a steam generator, there was a place in its design for a small 1.1 liter boiler, which heats up in 11 minutes. During the entire period of use, a pressure of 4 bar is maintained in it, which is enough to effectively remove dirt from any surfaces. A 1.8-liter aqua filter is installed as a dust collector in the model, as well as HEPA H13 at the outlet of the air pipe.

Advantages

• the presence of a steam generator and special nozzles;
• power regulator on the handle;
• aquafilter with a volume of 1.8 liters;
• liquid collection function.

disadvantages

• fragile and brittle plastic case;
• heavy weight (8.2 kilograms);
• high price.

Thomas Perfect Air Feel Fresh

Rating: 4.4

The value of this vacuum cleaner for buyers lies in the fact that it has a built-in air fragrance: it is enough to change the cartridge in time, and the dust in the house will be replaced by a fresh and pleasant aroma. Replacing the standard cyclone with a 1.9 liter aquafilter resulted in the Thomas Perfect Air Feel Fresh being able to collect liquid. In addition, at the outlet of the air system, it has a HEPA13 fine filter element, which is very important and necessary for people with allergies and asthma.

Due to the abundance of additional structural elements, this one weighs 7 kilograms. Its power cord is 8 meters long and its range is limited to 11 meters, which is a very good result. The set includes several special attachments, including several soft brushes for furniture, one of which is made with a thread remover. Thomas Perfect Air Feel Fresh provides a convenient storage space for these brushes, so there is no need to create a corner for them. The disadvantage is that at a maximum consumption of 1700 W, the vacuum cleaner emits 81 dB of noise.

Advantages

• constructional – there is a soft bumper and a storage compartment for attachments;
• flavoring;
• long power cord;
• availability of aquafilter and HEPA13.

disadvantages

• high noise level.

Bosch BGS2UPWER1

Rating: 4.3

German vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers of high build quality, providing excellent dry cleaning and protection from dust suspension. The main audience of Bosch BGS2UPWER1 buyers are people looking for a compact device with high suction power and the possibility of its smooth regulation. At maximum settings, the model consumes up to 2500 W of power from the network, while the suction is approximately 450-460 W.

The Bosch BGS2UPWER1 vacuum cleaner holds up to 1.4 liters of dust. To some, this characteristic may seem small, but the manufacturers clearly pursued the goal of reducing the size and, as a result, reducing the total weight of the model. And so it happened: the weight of this vacuum cleaner was 4.7 kilograms, which is almost 1 kilogram less than in the case of the Philips FC9733 PowerPro Expert. Similarly, you can draw parallels with the cost, and mention that the configurations of these two devices are absolutely similar (with the exception of the storage compartment for attachments).

Advantages

• regulation of the power of the vacuum cleaner in a wide range;
• lightweight and easy to use;
• nice design;
• antiallergenic outlet element.

disadvantages

• the cord return mechanism works only after it has been completely unwound.

Thomas TWIN T1 Aquafilter

Rating: 4.2

A bulky and unsightly Thomas Allergy Vacuum Cleaner with an average power level and great potential for all-round cleaning. Consuming 1600 W from the mains, TWIN T1 Aquafilter provides the possibility of dry dust extraction and complete cleaning of floors thanks to the built-in aquafilter and the detergent reservoir for 4 and 2.4 liters, respectively. The model has a function of collecting liquids, which is very necessary for removing excess moisture from the floor after wet cleaning.

As in all cases with complex devices, the Thomas TWIN T1 Aquafilter weighs 8.4 kilograms, which is why it can be very difficult to transport it between rooms (especially with high thresholds). Therefore, manufacturers have provided for several ergonomic features: the possibility of vertical parking and a 9 meters range. Although unsightly, this vacuum cleaner is liked by buyers for its price-to-use ratio.

Advantages

• provides wet and dry cleaning;
• equipped with an aquafilter;
• has the function of collecting liquids;
• optimal ratio of quality of work and price.

disadvantages

• bulky and dimensional, inconvenient to move;
• noisy despite the medium power motor.

Philips FC9733 PowerPro Expert

Rating: 4.1

A beautiful and functional vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers of the Philips PowerPro Expert line with a power adjustment function. At maximum settings, it draws 2100 watts and provides 420 watts of suction power. A dust collector equipped with a cyclone filter is designed for 2 liters of dry waste, but it is better not to bring it to the maximum load, as the cleaning efficiency may decrease.

At the outlet of the Philips FC9733 PowerPro Expert air system, a proprietary anti-allergic filter is installed, the resource of which is sufficient for the entire warranty period. The vacuum cleaner has a regular storage space for attachments, as well as a button for automatic winding of a 7-meter cord. The noise, as in the case of the Samsung SC4326, can reach 80 dB, but only when operating at full power is taken into account. The model weighs 5.5 kilograms and is liked by users for its spacious dust collector and high quality cleaning.

Advantages

• the ability to adjust the power;
• capacious plastic glass dust collector;
• the presence of an anti-allergenic filter element at the outlet;
• storage compartment for replaceable brushes.

disadvantages

• extremely ergonomic: at maximum suction power, the brush runs very hard on the carpet.

Samsung SC4326

Rating: 4.0

Practical and compact dry vacuum cleaner for large amounts of dense dust. Draws 1600 W of power from the mains, providing 360 W suction. A plastic glass dust container with a cyclone filter holds 1.3 liters of waste, reliably locking out even small particles of dust inside. And what still gets into the air circulation system is filtered out using a powerful and resource filter HEPA11.

The range of the Samsung SC4326 vacuum cleaner is 9.2 meters, taking into account the fact that the maximum length of the power cable is 6 meters. It makes a lot of noise, but within 80 dB. It has a convenient power footswitch and a light weight of only 4.2 kilograms. Chosen by users for the best ratio of cleaning quality and market value.

Advantages

• large radius of action;
• the presence of a HEPA11 fine filter;
• high quality cleaning;
• low price.

disadvantages

• a strong drop in the suction power depending on the “clogged” filter.
