Floor vacuum cleaners are the core tools for modern household cleaning. They can effectively remove impurities such as dust, debris, pet hair, etc., greatly improving cleaning efficiency. With the development of technology, product types are becoming more and more abundant, and functions are becoming more intelligent.
1. Common types and features
Wired upright vacuum cleaners
Advantages: stable suction, no need to charge, suitable for large-area cleaning.
Disadvantages: The wires limit the range of movement, and storage takes up more space.
Applicable scenarios: fixed large apartments, offices.
Cordless handheld vacuum cleaners
Advantages: light and flexible, can be disassembled into handheld mode to clean sofas and cars.
Disadvantages: limited battery life (usually 20-60 minutes), and weaker suction than wired models.
Applicable scenarios: small apartments, daily quick cleaning.
Robot vacuum cleaners
Intelligent functions: laser navigation, APP planning restricted areas, automatic recharging.
Note: Manual cleaning is required for cleaning dead corners, which is suitable for maintaining daily cleanliness.
Representative technology: sweeping robot (such as sweeper + mopping module).
Barrel/horizontal vacuum cleaner
Advantages: large dust box, super suction, suitable for commercial and home use.
Disadvantages: large size, high noise.
Floor scrubber (suction and mopping in one)
Revolutionary design: vacuuming + wet mopping are completed simultaneously, one-button self-cleaning roller brush.
Applicable scenarios: kitchens with heavy oil pollution, families with infants and young children.
2. Core purchasing indicators
Suction (AW or kPa)
Select 100~150 AW for regular cleaning, and 200 AW+ for carpet/pet families.
Tip: For wireless models, pay attention to whether the "continuous suction" is attenuated.
Battery life and charging
Wireless model: Standard mode ≥40 minutes, fast charging function is the key.
Filtration system
HEPA filter: a must! Filter 99.97% of fine dust (pollen, mites), the first choice for allergy families.
Multi-cone cyclone technology: avoid rapid clogging of the filter and maintain long-lasting suction.
Intelligent additional functions
Dust full sensor, carpet boost mode, LED lighting (cleaning under the bed), electronic screen display.
Accessories
Gap suction head (edge of furniture), mattress brush (mite removal), soft brush (curtain), telescopic tube (high place).
3. Usage and maintenance tips
Correct operation
Avoid absorbing water (unless marked as wet and dry), and clean entangled hair in time.
Use "hard roller brush" for hard floors, and turn on "boost mode" for carpets.
Maintenance instructions
Filter: The washed filter needs to be thoroughly dried before use, and the HEPA filter is replaced every 3 months.
Dust box: Empty after each cleaning to prevent odor.
Roller brush: Clean hair regularly and check wear every six months.
Secrets to extend life
Avoid inhaling sharp objects (glass, nails);
The robot vacuum cleaner regularly cleans the sensor;
Empty the dust box and charge it to 60% before long-term storage.
4. FAQ
Q1: Can a vacuum cleaner replace mopping?
→ Traditional vacuum cleaners only vacuum dry and need to be used with a mop; floor scrubbers can achieve simultaneous vacuuming and mopping.
Q2: Which one should I choose for pets?
→ Recommended: Wireless model with strong suction power + special pet brush head, or model with "anti-entanglement design".
Q3: How to reduce noise?
→ Choose a low-noise model (<70 decibels) and avoid using it late at night; carpets are more soundproof than hard floors.
