TOP-10 bag vacuum cleaners

Someone may not have a juicer, a coffee machine, a blender or a meat grinder, but everyone has a vacuum cleaner in the house. Container, vertical or bag - there is a choice for every taste. The most common models are bag vacuum cleaners. The power of such machines is the highest possible, because many prefer them.

But not everyone can call himself an expert in household appliances, so we decided to write this article.

Selection criteria

First, let's determine the criteria. Everyone reads the characteristics, but it’s important to understand what they mean.

• Power consumption

The essence lies in the name, but many are still confused and believe that this is efficiency. Power consumption shows how much electrical energy a vacuum cleaner consumes. Typically, the value ranges from 1500 to 3000 watts. The smaller the value, the more economical your cleaning will be. But do not chase the lowest figure, as this may adversely affect the following criteria, but he is more interested in us.

• Suction power

Shows with what force the vacuum cleaner will absorb dust and dirt in the house. Will you have to go through the same place several times, spend your time and nerves, or will the vacuum cleaner cope with the first attempt.

• Noise level

No need to explain how annoying the sound of a vacuum cleaner is. Fortunately, there are instruments that measure the volume level. Manufacturers write this indicator in the characteristics, and we can find out in advance who took care of our comfort and who did not. Acceptable value - up to 75 dB. Everything above will bother you greatly.

• Weight

A powerful and roomy vacuum cleaner is good, but if you have to spend all the forces that you were going to spend on something more pleasant to move it, then this is no good. Technologies make compact and lightweight yet powerful cars. So why choose those who are not enjoying progress?

• Nozzles

A vacuum cleaner is a machine that sucks in dust. And there is dust not only on the floor. In our rating, we will consider models that allow for a complete cleaning on different surfaces.

• Filter

In modern vacuum cleaners are HEPA filters. The fewer particles are thrown back into the air, the more effective the filter. These are measurable indicators, their gradation is as follows:

As can be seen from the table, starting with HEPA 13, the filters are not much different. If you see a vacuum cleaner with HEPA 16 for a lot of money and cheaper with HEPA 13, you can safely choose the second - you won’t feel the difference. Unfortunately, manufacturers do not always specify which HEPA filter is in the vacuum cleaner. But the first 3 filters from the table are almost never used in production, so the probability of getting caught is small.

In addition to the items listed, we paid attention to the price, additional features and model improvements. We also read dozens of reviews on the Internet and noted common problems of equipment owners.

Now you can move on to the nominees. We tried to consider typical models of different brands. Highlighted the pros, cons and detailed specifications. Based on these parameters and the criteria listed, ratings were set on a 10-point scale.

10th place - LG V-B8607NCAG

LG V-B8607NCAG

Characteristics:

• Power Consumption - Unknown;
• Power of absorption - 220 watts
• The volume of the container is 4 l;
• Noise level - 74 dB;
• The length of the power cord is 6 m;
• Nozzles - brush, crevice, dust, for upholstered furniture
• Filter - HEPA 14;
• Weight - 5.6 kg;
• Price - 14,239 rubles.

Compact model with handle control. In different sources, information about power consumption is either hidden or 700 watts is claimed.Even with a low suction power, this value is not possible. Therefore, we did not begin to add it to the characteristics, so as not to be misleading. The value of 220 watts is small for a vacuum cleaner over 10,000 rubles. The vacuum cleaner is not in the balance of price and quality and can only compete with models from a different price segment. We did not find obvious advantages.

Benefits:

• Convenient handle on the case for carrying;
• Compact;
• Management on the handle;
• Noise level within the normal range.

Disadvantages:

• Low suction power
• Weak ergonomics;
• Poor cleaning.

From the above, you can put the following points:

• Power - 2
• Compactness - 6
• Noise Level - 5
• Efficiency - 2
• Design - 2
• Balance of price and quality - 4

Total: 21 points

9th place - Rowenta Compact Ergo RO 5295

• Nozzles - crevice, dust, for upholstered furniture, parquet, turbo brush;
• Filter - HEPA;
• Weight - 6.7 kg;
• Price - 12 500 rubles.

Vacuum cleaner with a neat streamlined design. The power is almost no different from the previous model, but there is a turbo brush that increases efficiency - this raises the vacuum cleaner to 9th place. Noise level is the highest of all participants in this rating. Judging by the reviews, the air blowing system is not thought out in the model. Its location raises all the dust into the air, which affects the quality of cleaning.

Benefits:

• Compact and lightweight;
• Turbo brush;
• Acceptable price.

Disadvantages:

• Very noisy;
• Low power;
• The blowing system raises dust into the air.

The points we set are:

8th place - Samsung SC4130

Samsung SC4130

Characteristics:

• Power consumption - 1600 W;
• Power of absorption - 300 watts
• The volume of the container is 3 l;
• Noise level - 80 dB;
• The length of the power cord is 6 m;
• Nozzles - brush, brush for cleaning crevices, brush for furniture;
• Filter - HEPA;
• Weight - 4 kg;
• Price - 10 680 rubles.

A compact vacuum cleaner of a well-known brand. This model raises the rating of the ratio of power consumption to suction power. Here 300W are explainable: consumes little - gives little. But such power cannot be called optimal for efficient cleaning. Also, the noise level again makes you wish for the best. Users note the instability of the model. The vacuum cleaner often turns over during cleaning - light weight and no protection against turning over.

Benefits:

• Compact and lightweight;
• Economical;
• Acceptable price.

Disadvantages:

• Low power;
• Noisy;
• Unstable.

Points were distributed as follows:

• Power - 3

7th place - Thomas HYGIENE T2

Thomas HYGIENE T2

Characteristics:

• Power consumption - 1600 W;
• Power of absorption - 280 kW
• The volume of the container is 2.4 l;
• Noise level - 81-87 dB;
• The length of the power cord is 8 m;

• Filter - HEPA;
• Weight - 7.9 kg;
• Price - 19 560 rubles.

Pay attention to what has been done in Germany. But we will not be distracted by marketing and analyze the characteristics. Power is still low for efficient cleaning. The dust bag is the smallest of our rating. Raises it to 7th place the function of wet cleaning. In the characteristics, we indicated the range of the noise level, and not a specific value, since there is no information on the official website, and other online stores give different values. In any case, we didn’t see numbers less than 81 dB - this is noisy vacuum cleaner. Wet cleaning is certainly a plus, but there are associated problems. The motor protection against moisture has not been thought out. Users often express concern in reviews on this topic. You need to carefully monitor the filters, otherwise you may lose the vacuum cleaner.

Benefits:

• A lot of nozzles;
• Wet cleaning function.

Disadvantages:

• Noisy;
• Low suction power
• Heavy;
• The price is above the average market;
• Low security.

From the above, we put the following points:

• Power - 3
• Compact - 4
• Noise Level - 3
• Efficiency - 6
• Design - 5
• Balance of price and quality - 3

Total: 24 points

6th place - Bosch BSGL 52531

Bosch BSGL 52531

Characteristics:

• The length of the power cord is 12 m;
• Nozzles - brush, crevice; for upholstered furniture;
• Filter - HEPA;
• Weight - 5.3 kg;
• Price - 11,280 rubles.

Vacuum cleaner of a famous brand, small size. A long cord will be an advantage in large apartments. But the noise level is too high, given that the power is not high. The ratio of consumed and suction power is unjustified. The vacuum cleaner consumes too much energy to produce only 300 watts. Standard set of nozzles. But the price is pleasantly surprising!

Benefits:

• Compact;
• Long cord;
• Market average price.

Disadvantages:

• High noise level;
• Few nozzles;
• Low power;
• The ratio of consumed and suction power is unjustified.

Points were distributed as follows:

• Power - 3
• Compact - 4
• Noise Level - 3
• Efficiency - 5
• Design - 6
• Balance of price and quality - 4

Total: 25 points

5th place - KARCHER SE 4001

KARCHER SE 4001

Characteristics:

• Power consumption - 1400 W;
• Power of absorption - 380 watts
• The volume of the container is 4 l for dirty water, 4 l for clean water, 2 l dust collector;
• Noise level - 73 dB;
• The length of the power cord is 7 m;
• Nozzles - for floors with a device for cleaning hard surfaces, crevice, for upholstered furniture, spray for cleaning carpets with an adapter for hard surfaces;
• Filter - HEPA;
• Weight - 8 kg;
• Price - 15 990 rubles.

Wet Vacuum Cleaner. Dirty water is collected in a separate tank, which allows you to maintain efficiency throughout the entire cleaning time. Because of the containers with water, I had to sacrifice the volume of the dust bag - only 2 liters. Weight is due to the expansion of functionality. Please note that the weight is indicated without taking into account the collected water, that is, in use it will be even more. The power regulator is not provided in the vacuum cleaner - the suction level will always be the same and it cannot be increased on difficult surfaces. This is a problem since the declared suction power is not the highest on the market. Also, users complain about the lack of automatic cord winding - you have to do it manually.

Benefits:

• Dry and wet cleaning;
• Low power consumption;
• Acceptable noise level.

Disadvantages:

• A small dust container;
• No power control
• Bulky;
• The cord does not unwind.

We considered it fair to put the following points:

• Power - 4
• Compactness - 3
• Noise Level - 5
• Efficiency - 6
• Design - 5
• Balance of price and quality - 4

4th place - Electrolux USDELUXE UltraSilencer

• Nozzles - AeroPro Silent brush, for upholstered furniture, crevice;
• Filter - HEPA13;
• Weight - 8.4 kg;
• Price - 24,990 rubles.

Really silent vacuum cleaner - the noise level is the lowest in our rating. But this is where the main advantages end. Power is average - it may not cope with the carpet. Weight is greater than the previous model, while the vacuum cleaner does not have the function of wet cleaning. The price, in our opinion, is overpriced - there are no particular advantages for which one could pay. Also, we did not find a pen on the case with which it would be convenient to carry this not lightweight device.

Benefits:

• Quiet;
• Long cord;
• Economical;
• Management on the handle.

Disadvantages:

• Heavy and not maneuverable;
• There is no handle on the case;
• High price;
• Low power.

The model receives the following points:

• Power - 5
• Compactness - 3
• Noise Level - 8
• Efficiency - 5
• Design - 4
• Balance of price and quality - 3

A powerful vacuum cleaner of a famous brand. Deserves to be in the TOP-3 rating - cleaning with this model is much more effective than with the previous ones. Cleaning air from allergens - relevant for apartments with children and animals. However, users complain about the lack of control from the handle. In reviews, there are often complaints about loss of power when filling the container by 50% - poor quality parts and assembly may be the fault. Also, some owners complain that the vacuum cleaner does not withstand its power - it tears paper bags! We have to slow down the power level. Fabric bags are much more expensive and not always on sale. This problem does not occur with every representative of the model, but the possible risk causes distrust. In addition, manufacturers could not lower the noise level of such a beast. The blowing system is located in the wrong place, the dust rises into the air. But the price may please.

Benefits:

• Powerful;
• Low price;
• Light weight.

Disadvantages:

• Noisy;
• No control on the handle;
• Poor-quality components;
• Not always maintains its power.

The model receives the following points:

• Power - 8
• Compact - 4
• Noise Level - 3

• Price - 39 990 rubles.

A vacuum cleaner that has earned the trust of users. We admit, this is our favorite. The appearance immediately attracts attention. They do not argue about tastes, but the design of the model is thought out and catchy. The suction power is unknown, no specific value is indicated anywhere. But experimentally, we concluded that at least 400 aW is in it. Cleaning is effective, all dirt is absorbed the first time. The indicators on the case show not only the occupancy of the dust collector, but also the inclusion of thermal protection of the motor - the manufacturer took care of safety. Also in the vacuum cleaner there is a convenient place to store nozzles and control on the handle. Inexpensive filters and bags. But not everyone can allow it. The price is 3-4 times higher than the market. It is difficult to judge how justified this is. The quality is really high, but I don’t want to overpay.

Benefits:

• Powerful;
• Large container volume
• Acceptable noise level;
• A lot of nozzles.

Disadvantages:

• Very high price;
• Heavy.

The model receives the following points:

• Power - 8
• Compact - 4
• Noise Level - 5
• Efficiency - 7
• Design - 7
• Balance of price and quality - 3

A quiet and powerful vacuum cleaner - a more successful model of this combination was not found. The manufacturers have tried so that the cleaning efficiency does not affect your nerves. The filter allows you to fight allergens and bacteria in the air. An active blowing system allows you to clean even those places where you can’t get by standard methods from dust and dirt. Many users in the reviews separately note a really considerable volume of the dust collector in the model, 6 liters (today's leader in this indicator). There are also five modes for working with various surfaces. Switching occurs with the handle on the vacuum cleaner body. The best part is that such a powerful model does not ask for a lot of money.

Benefits:

• Powerful;
• Quiet;
• Large amount of dust collector;
• The average price in the market;

For convenience, we derived all the characteristics in one table:

Conclusion

We looked at different brands for specifications, reviews and features. If we discard the details, then first we looked at power, then at comfort. Agree that the most important thing from a vacuum cleaner is high-quality cleaning and low noise level during operation.

For clarity, we set the score. Here's what happened:

TOP 3 came out as follows:

1st place - DAUKEN DW320

2nd place - Miele SGMA0 Complete C3 Special

3rd place - Philips FC9170 Performer

All three models have high power, but the Philips vacuum cleaner was too noisy and not reliable, and the Miele vacuum cleaner was too expensive. We chose the Dauken DW320 for its quiet operation, efficiency and the impressive volume of the dust bag. He combined all the main advantages and did not ask for a lot of money.

When choosing a vacuum cleaner, pay attention to your home. What surfaces do you have on the floor, how big is the apartment, are there any animals. Look for a model specifically for you, but do not forget about the main thing - the vacuum cleaner should perform its functions well, and not stand beautifully in the corner!
