The best vacuum cleaners of 2020

The entry-level category includes classic mains vacuum cleaners with dust bags and a simple filtering system. The main disadvantage of such devices is the low level of comfort. We have to pull a massive body, hose and wire. The plus is that bag models are less noisy than more expensive cyclone counterparts and models with an aquafilter. Choosing a device of the initial segment, it is worth paying attention to the level of energy consumption, build quality and warranty. The kit should include all the necessary nozzles for the possibility of general cleaning.

Our top vacuum cleaners of the current year are opened by the budget model SC-VC80B95 from Scarlett. The maneuverable device is suitable for cleaning in small apartments and houses. The strengths of the model include the presence of the HEPA filter, which prevents the spread of allergens in the home, as well as a well-thought-out design. In particular, the manufacturer took care of the presence of a large bag of 2.5 liters and a long wire of 5 meters. The network cable is rewound automatically. At the same time, a reliable assistant provides both vertical and horizontal parking. The power level is 1900 watts. The motor is very noisy, but has protection against overheating and a long service life.

In search of a classic bag vacuum cleaner, many buyers opted for a Samsung model - SC4140 with a garbage capacity of up to 3 liters. The total power of a simple and practical apparatus in this case reaches 1600 watts, and suction 320 watts. Productivity is enough for cleaning both small and large rooms. Convenience in operation at the same time guarantees a small weight (3.7 kilograms), as well as a long power cord of 6 meters. At the same time, a high-quality HEPA filter is responsible for creating a favorable microclimate in the house. It is worth adding that it is very easy to monitor the filling of the dust bag thanks to the presence of an indication. The kit includes an additional brush designed for cleaning furniture. Turbo brush is missing.

For users who are looking for an inexpensive but good vacuum cleaner for the home, Philips has a great solution. We are talking about the model FC8294 PowerGo, whose power is 2000 watts.The main advantage of the device against competitors is the Super Clean Air filter, which can hold up to 99% of harmful particles. No longer have to worry about the spread of dust mites, pollen and animal hair. Good results in cleaning also allows you to achieve a capacious dust collector of 3 liters. I would like to add that the company suggested using S-bags, which, according to the manufacturer, last 50% longer. It is definitely convenient. The design is tight, hygienic disposal of garbage is achieved.

The best inexpensive vacuum cleaner in 2020 is the Bosch BSGL3MULT1 model, designed for easy and comfortable cleaning of apartments and houses. The device attracts with its excellent construction quality and compact size. At the same time, there is a rather powerful 2000 W motor inside, which guarantees an effective result. Among the additional advantages of a vacuum cleaner can be attributed a large amount of a dust collector of 4 liters, which reduces the need to often be distracted by the procedure for cleaning equipment from pollution. It is worth noting that the German manufacturer of equipment offers a 10 year warranty on its power plant. That says a lot. Actually, other details are also not in doubt regarding their quality: nozzles, exhaust filter, etc.

In terms of care, these models are the most unpretentious. It takes only a few seconds to clean the trash bin, after which the contents, including wool, hair and other contaminants, fall out below. The advantages of this technique include effective operation as the filter becomes dirty, which is not inherent in budget counterparts with dust bags. The only exception is the HEPA filter, if it is part of the structure. Another plus is the compact size along with vacuum cleaners equipped with an aquafilter. The downside is that cyclone vacuum cleaners are the noisiest.

The bagless model Thomas Multi Cyclone Pro 14 enriches our list of the best vacuum cleaners. Practical housing, advanced cyclone system and power of 1800 watts. At the same time, the device received a fairly affordable price tag, stylish design and thoughtful design to the smallest detail. In particular, the filtration system with the HEPA-10 filter, which prevents the re-distribution of dust, deserves attention. Small specks, hair, and hair are trapped in the container. The total volume is 2 liters. Among the strengths include the presence of a power regulator, a 6-meter network cable, as well as horizontal and vertical parking. Thanks to the rich assortment of nozzles, this model copes with cleaning furniture and textiles.

A good cyclone vacuum cleaner this year was offered by Samsung - model SC8836 with a suction power of 430 watts. The bagless model has increased power up to 430 watts. This negatively affects the noise level, but you can clean even large areas without worrying about the quality of the implementation of the task. At the same time, the South Korean company took care of the availability of Super Twin Chamber technology. Even if the pre-filter is clogged with dust, the air flow will decrease, which will affect the decrease in the power output of the power plant. This allows you to maintain optimal performance for a long time. At the same time, the two-chamber device has an excellent Silencio Force brush, which does not leave a single chance on the floor. A soft bumper is installed on the case, which guarantees safe cleaning of the kitchen set and furniture.

Not the cheapest, but practical and durable - this is how you can characterize one of the best cyclone-type vacuum cleaners of the current year from Philips. The FC9911 PowerPro Ultimate has the excellent PowerCyclone 7 aerodynamic design, which reduces air resistance and guarantees perfect cleaning results in three steps:

1. First, air enters the chamber;
2. The air duct speeds up the flow in the chamber;
3. Dust is separated from the air in the vortex.

Also noteworthy is the quality of the TriActive Z nozzle, designed for flooring and the efficient collection of large debris. NanoClean technology, in turn, helps remove dirt from the container. To clean it, just click on the button and everything will fall out in a garbage container.

In this segment, vacuum cleaners for the home that support washing cleaning are assembled. These include both vertical network models and the classic form factor. Most often, the latest devices have aquafilters, which increases the cost of technology and negatively affects the size. Given the presence of a more advanced design and an extensive scope, it is not surprising that washing vacuum cleaners are more expensive than analogues. They are noisy, require a lot of energy, but they can not only refresh, but also perform thoroughly clean the apartment or house.

If you do not know which vacuum cleaner to buy for dry and wet cleaning, we recommend paying attention to the Arnica Hydra Rain Plus model from a Turkish manufacturer.

The maximum power of the vacuum cleaner is 1700 watts.Thanks to the good rollers, the maneuverability of this vacuum cleaner can be envied even by many more expensive counterparts. At the same time, the compact vacuum cleaner has an automatic cable winding, an Aqua-Stealth laminate nozzle for the DryBox filtration system and high suction power.

Such devices are the most convenient, as they are compact in size and operate on battery power. You do not have to drag a hose, wires. Choosing among these models, it is worth paying attention to the capacity of the garbage container, battery life and the quality of the turbo brush. It should be said right away that due to their small size, they have weak power plants with a suction power of up to 150 watts. This is not enough to carry out a general cleaning, but you can refresh the room. As for the battery capacity, it depends a lot on the power plant. Optimum from 30 to 60 minutes of battery life.

Filtration system

The presence of a fine filter is considered a basic minimum, but given the current environmental situation, users are increasingly focusing on units with a good filtration system. For obvious reasons, it's worth talking about which filter classes are found on the market.

It is customary to assign a specific class to a filter based on what particle size it works with: from 0.1 to 0.3 microns. At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the amount of pollution according to the MPPS type. If HEPA-10 catches in the region of 85%, then HEPA-14 up to 99.99%. Obviously, the price of the last elements is much higher.

As additional filters, foam filters can be used, of which a special plus is not visible against the background of premium HEPA.

What really deserves attention is the electrostatic filter, which can upset the filter and attract it to its plates, as well as a carbon filter designed to remove unpleasant odors.
