This year's Black Friday promotions have also seen a huge increase in household appliances, indicating that demand for these types of devices remains strong. This is no coincidence, of course, as machines for cooking, baking and cleaning are needed in every household. Vacuum cleaners are a clear example of the latter category, and there are now several 'schools' of thought, i.e. several completely different approaches.
In addition to traditional devices, robotic vacuum cleaners and so-called cordless vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly common. The latter category is also gaining ground in our country, but it makes a difference which product you choose. There are many areas where there can be differences between the various products from different manufacturers, and in this article we will look at what to look out for when considering buying such a device. Xiaomi plays a prominent role in the product line thanks to its innovative solutions, so it makes sense that the company models to show you the most important parameters and functions.
What is a cordless vacuum cleaner?
These are household appliances that do not need to be connected to the mains power source to be used. They therefore have a battery and are typically upright vacuum cleaners.
Size, weight
It is important that such a device is not heavy, Xiaomi Mi Vacuum Cleaner G10 for example, weighs just 4 kilograms. That means it can carry a lady or a child.
The dust container
All these appliances have a built-in dust bin, but of course the key is how much dirt it can hold. It should have a capacity of at least half a litre, and in the case of this model it is extremely large, reaching 0.6 litres. It is also essential that the dust container is easy to clean, and a model that can do this should be chosen.
Battery
The energy is therefore provided by the installed plant, and its capacity is of key importance, as it determines the operating time. The Xiaomi Mi Vacuum Cleaner G10 comes with a removable 3000 mAh battery, which provides enough energy storage for 65 minutes of continuous operation. It's worth noting that the battery in this model is easily replaceable, so you can radically increase the battery life in one simple step.
Performance
The indicator in watts provides information on how powerful the engine is. The higher the value, the better the appliance. Sometimes the suction power is given separately, but efficiency is greatly influenced by the design of the product, through the efficient circulation of air.
This is perfectly supported by the fact that there are products where the floor brush itself can improve the quality of cleaning. The Xiaomi Mi Vacuum Cleaner G10 packed alongside floor brush by itself recognises the different flooring materials, and the electronics adjusts the settings according to this information. As a result, operations will be efficient and energy-saving, ultimately saving money and time.
Air screening
Better appliances now have a very powerful filtration system to clean the air. The Xiaomi Mi Vacuum Cleaner G10 for example, has a 5-layer, 12-cyclone system that filters out 99.97 percent of dust, dirt and small particles. So, in practice, it performs like a better air purifier.
Upload from
There are cordless vacuum cleaners - and the Xiaomi model above is one of them - that are equipped with a water tank and a special head. This also allows it to be used as a mopping tool, making it more of a multifunctional cleaning machine than a simple vacuum cleaner. Of course, we should not think that these machines are full-fledged mopping machines, but rather for a more thorough dusting, to bind the small particles. If there is a spill or a serious stain on the floor, it's still worth using the good old mop.
Treatment
Many people may not pay attention to this, but a good control panel can be worth a fortune. We're thinking of an LCD-based solution that keeps you informed of the tank and battery charge levels, as well as what mode you're using the machine in.
