Choosing a vacuum cleaner for home use is quite simple. Many brands that produce household appliances offer more than a hundred brands. Firstly, you need to determine the acceptable dimensions and power of the vacuum cleaner, secondly - with the type of dust collector, thirdly - with the amount of money that the buyer is willing to spend on equipment. Then purchase the selected model and enjoy the apparent cleanliness of the room.
With allergies, everything is much more complicated: their health depends on the quality of cleaning. They seriously suffer from even invisible dust. Usually this is not a very comfortable condition, resulting in a number of unpleasant symptoms. To prevent the development of the disease, it is advisable to opt for special vacuum cleaners for allergy sufferers.
Important criteria
A special household appliance that improves the quality of life of people with allergic reactions must meet the following requirements:
- Collect not only large particles of dirt, but also fine, invisible dust.
- Have a lot of nozzles for penetrating into inaccessible places.
- Differ in effective power, which affects the absorption of dust not only at the beginning of work, but also during the entire cleaning process, even when the waste bin is full.
- To be equipped with a set of brushes with different length and direction of the pile.
- Keep collected dust, preventing its part from being thrown back into the air.
- Have a serious filtration system and a chemical barrier against the reproduction of bacteria.
In addition, an important function of vacuum cleaners for allergy sufferers and asthmatics is the convenience of cleaning and washing components, which should minimize human contact with dust.
Power
The stronger the vacuum cleaner, the better the cleaning of the room. Experts advise when taking into account not consumed, but suction power. The best choice would be from 300 to 400 watts. Additional nozzles may temporarily increase this setting. So, a special nozzle for knocking out or a turbo brush increases power by 20-30%.
Filtration
Air purification in a modern vacuum cleaner can be represented as a dry cleaning system or a water filter.
Dry cleaning involves bags for collecting large particles of dust or containers. The bags used in allergy-friendly vacuum cleaners have high demands. They have several layers, are tightly closed and must be replaced after filling. Container samples are not used at all in rooms where allergy sufferers or asthmatics live.
Particular attention when choosing a technique must be given to its ability to purify air from fine dust fractions. The best choice here is to use special HEPA fine filters. The 14th class filter, which has an index of 99.995% of retained particles, has the highest ability.
The water purification system is based on the principle of saturation of particles with water and their subsequent sedimentation at the bottom of the tank. The presence of high-quality HEPA filters in such vacuum cleaners also does not hinder.
Advantages and disadvantages
An undoubted advantage of vacuum cleaners for allergy sufferers is a high-class cleaning service that can save the owners not only from dirt, but also from the smallest particles of dust. In the case of devices with an aquafilter, an additional advantage is seen in the form of air humidification. This fact significantly improves the climatic conditions in a single apartment.
The combination of an air purifier and a dirt suction unit is an ideal option for a home cleaning appliance. Some manufacturers include an additional function in the form of aromatization of air in the equipment and note its usefulness to users. However, doctors do not recommend the use of such vacuum cleaners for people with allergies.
Of the minuses of technology should be noted indicators such as:
- high price;
- high power consumption;
- impressive overall dimensions;
- the need for disassembly and cleaning after each use;
- expensive consumables.
Famous brands
The best brand vacuum cleaners for allergy sufferers and asthmatics are the following brands:
- Samsung Aqua Cyclone;
- LG VK8810HFNR;
- Bosch BGS 62530;
- Dyson DS42 Allergy;
- Thomas Perfect Air Allergy Pure;
- Karcher DS 6000 Mediclean;
- Thomas Perfect Allergy Family;
- Dyson DS37Allergy;
- Miele SJMO Allergy.
Samsung Aqua Cyclone
Given the affordable price, this sample can be called the best vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers. The average suction power does not particularly distinguish the unit from the same budget options. However, some pluses still make buyers pay attention to themselves:
- the presence of an aquafilter;
- wireless control located on the handle;
- easy movement;
- interesting design;
- telescopic tube;
- ease of washing the container and filters.
Users also pay attention to the large weight of the vacuum cleaner and increased noise, which does not affect the excellent quality of cleaning, but slightly increases the duration of the process.
LG VK8810HFNR
Experts often recommend this sample because of convenient care and the lack of contact of the user with dust. After work, the vacuum cleaner is easy to clean. The dirt collected in the form of briquettes is easily removed. The advantages of the instance are:
- low noise - about 76 dB;
- telescopic tube;
- 10 stages of purification, including fine cleaning;
- operating power 450 W;
- an automatically rewound power cord of 9 meters, increasing the range of the device to 12 meters;
- relative compactness expressed in overall dimensions 34 x 29 x 49 cm;
- maneuverability;
- the possibility of horizontal and vertical parking;
- convenient power regulator;
- power button located at hand.
Negative allergy vacuum cleaner LG earned for:
- heaviness;
- small amount of dust bag;
- lack of a beating brush for upholstered furniture;
- the impossibility of high-quality cleaning of the turbo brush without unscrewing the bolts using a screwdriver.
Bosch BGS 62530
The instance belongs to the most powerful home helpers with a working power of 550 watts. Despite the absence of the additional designation Allergy in the name of the device, it has excellent characteristics and can be used as a vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. In addition to the cyclone filter, the device purifies the blown air with a fine filter. The company that produces the goods claims that at the first stage, 96% of the dust is absorbed, then the second Gore filter brings this figure to 99.5%. Thus, up to the last cleaning, the output reaches 0.5% of the dust, with the majority of which HEPA subsequently copes with.
In addition to high-quality air purification, additional advantages of the sample are:
- lack of costs for consumables;
- inertial winding of a ten-meter cord;
- large diameter hose;
- storage of nozzles in the housing.
It can be difficult for an average person to decide which vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers to purchase: LG or Bosch. Both samples are not related to specialized equipment and, in fact, are equivalent. Both one and the other have a number of advantages and disadvantages, but are in the middle price category.
If you choose from expensive copies, it is necessary to take into account the opinions of experts and user reviews. There are many special units that meet the requirements of the most fastidious customers.
Dyson DS42 Allergy
Unlike previous samples, the Dyson Allergic vacuum cleaner has a high cost. Of course, the manufacturer positions the instance as an exceptionally powerful device for cleaning the room from dust. However, the suction power here is 200 watts, which is on average 2.5 times lower than that of LG or Bosch. This may not affect the quality of standard cleaning, but it will have to be carried out more often, since invisible dust may remain in some places. A disadvantage of the vacuum cleaner is its poor maneuverability and the inability to clean under sofas and beds without an additional brush, which is not included in the kit.
Of the advantages of the unit can be noted:
- bagless cyclone filter does not require consumables;
- vertical type is easy to store;
- the brush is equipped with an engine;
- high-quality hose;
- convenient handle to use.
Thomas Perfect Air Allergy Pure
The sample has an average price among specialized vacuum cleaners. Thomas Perfect Air Allergyk Pure has earned a lot of positive reviews for quality cleaning at the lowest cost. A special system called the “Aqua Box” consists of a container with water and filters. The design of the tank does not allow the power to decrease, which ensures uniform absorption of dust at the limit of possibilities. A plus of the model is the formed wall of water, which “flushes” the air not only from dirty particles, but also from allergens. The vacuum cleaner is understaffed with two filters that trap plant pollen. Experts talk about convenient power control for various surfaces. Additional functions include cleaning liquid mud and knocking dust out of mattresses using special nozzles. The bottom of the vacuum cleaner is equipped with movable rollers to cope with small obstacles in the way of the unit.
Karcher DS 6000 Mediclean
Vacuum cleaner "Karcher" for allergy sufferers combines a device for collecting dirt and purifying the air. Specialists give excellent reviews for the quality of cleaning, which is achieved thanks to:
- The presence of a water filtration system. Water precipitates dust particles and does not allow a drop in power.
- The presence of the HEPA 13 filter, which does not let through even small fractions.
- Complete with 4 nozzles: slotted, for upholstered furniture, floor and turbo brushes.
- Attractive price in its class of devices.
- Profitability.
Despite the positive aspects, the vacuum cleaner is quite heavy and bulky. However, the brand’s fame and its representative’s achievement of good results make compatriots increasingly choose this particular brand.
Thomas Perfect Allergy Family
A washing vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers “Thomas” also deserves special attention. The ability to carry out dry and wet cleaning puts the sample in first place among many household appliances. Good suction power and the presence of a fine filter are an insignificant part of the advantages of a washing specimen. The positive aspects also include:
- duplication of the power regulator on the handle and body;
- the presence of an aquafilter;
- automatic winding of the power cord;
- telescopic tube;
- an opportunity to carry out washing of a parquet and a laminate;
- volumetric capacity of the dust bag;
- many nozzles;
- light weight.
Of the minuses, users indicate a high price, which scares off the average buyer.
Dyson DS37Allergy
Another representative of the Dyson brand with a special Radial Root Cyclone cleaning system. Dust, getting inside the device, accelerates with air to the maximum speed and due to centrifugal forces it separates and settles in the container. An additional plus of the vacuum cleaner in the absorption of intrinsic noise thanks to a special acoustic treatment of internal surfaces. Good maneuverability and a high degree of filtration, as well as hygienic cleaning, make it possible to pay attention to this sample from the average cost category.
Miele SJMO Allergy
Despite the high price, this copy has earned excellent reviews. The vacuum cleaner for allergy sufferers "Milli" carries out dry cleaning at a high technical level. An interesting design, brand recognition, the presence of a dust collection bag consisting of 9 layers, and an additional fine filter attract housewives seeking to create perfect cleanliness in the house. In addition to these advantages, a household appliance has several advantages:
- high working power;
- metal telescopic pipe with a parking space on the body;
- six-liter dust collecting container;
- polypropylene hose;
- 14 meter range;
- transportation mechanism;
- container for storing nozzles;
- power regulator;
- remote control;
- dust bag filling indicator;
- 4 original nozzles;
- noise reduction function;
- Dimensions 122 x 34 x 36.
The heavy weight of the vacuum cleaner does not detract from its merits, and the vertical parking and the original color scheme only arouse imagination.
Finally
Even the most expensive vacuum cleaner, its super filters and other unique functions will not save your home from health problems. After all, the device does not delay the spread of microorganisms and viruses. In order to avoid possible allergic reactions, it is necessary to apply a whole range of measures. It is necessary to consult doctors, take the prescribed medications, and prevent the manifestation of the disease state by all available means. A vacuum cleaner will help ensure home cleanliness and lack of interaction with certain types of allergens.
