Trends towards minimalism also affected household appliances: a mini-oven, a mini-fridge, a mini-kettle, a mini-vacuum cleaner. And this is a small list of devices that have a mini-copy of their full-size brothers. Practice shows that sometimes small equipment is more necessary and more convenient. For example, a mini-refrigerator in the country instead of the usual one will save not only space, but also finances. Or a mini vacuum cleaner. Not to collect the usual (or bulky detergent) for the crumbs on the couch? In such cases, a small copy with similar functionality will come in handy.

Mini vacuum cleaner is the most popular category among mini appliances. It includes several varieties that differ in purpose and design. As a rule, for the buyer, size, purpose and power are of great importance. Additional items, such as all kinds of nozzles, increase the cost, but are not always used afterwards.

Dignity

The main advantages that this type of technique has:

• Easy to operate: even a child can handle a lightweight and easy to understand mini vacuum cleaner that does not have to be assembled in parts and does not needwaste time on assembly, because it is always in "combat" readiness.
• Compact, as well as weight and dimensions. To store such a device does not require much space.
• Less noise and power consumption.

Flaws

Disadvantages are a direct consequence of these advantages: low power, the need for recharging, problems with frequent replacement of bags. Poor suction of debris from fleecy surfaces depends on the power, and the dimensions provide for a small size of the bags and their frequent change.

Types of mini vacuum cleaners

When choosing this category of goods, it is necessary to pay attention to the purpose of a particular model, since household appliances hypermarkets offer the widest range. This technique can be divided according to several criteria.

By food type

Depending on the type of power, there are: a mini-vacuum cleaner for the home from the mains and a battery.

The first type will not surprise you with a dead battery because it is powered by electricity. However, there are also nuances: sometimes you have to get an extension cord to clean hard-to-reach places. And in the case when you need to vacuum the car, you need an adapter for the cigarette lighter. Among the popular mains powered home models are: PUPPYOO WP-3006, Smile HVC 831.

The second type can reach anywhere, and it does not need additional wires, but what is critical - it must be periodically charged. They are comfortable and ergonomic, but can fail inright moment. A variety of battery mini-vacuum cleaners are robotic vacuum cleaners, but they will be discussed separately. A distinctive feature is the presence of a container as a dust collector.

Among the battery models, the following models have proven themselves well: Dyson DC62 Animal Pro, Electrolux Ergorapido.

As intended

Usually, mini-vacuum cleaners are allocated for the home (in turn, vacuum cleaners are allocated for the keyboard and the insides of equipment) and car interiors. This subgroup can be purchased at home appliance stores, as well as computer stores. The most popular model is Orient's mini Vacuum USB Cleaner, a mini keyboard vacuum cleaner. It is convenient and cheap, powered by usb.

There is a variety designed directly for cleaning the system unit. Mini vacuum cleaner for computer - Orient V-01N USB vacuum cleaner. Like its previous counterpart, it can be purchased at computer stores, on Chinese sites. Hoover S4000 DB6, Samsung VCH 136DY handheld vacuum cleaners for the car.

Similar to a garbage can

Depending on the type of bin, mini-vacuum cleaners with containers or garbage bags are distinguished. Using bags is more environmentally friendly and faster. At the same time, the cyclone filter is cheaper to operate.

Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Separate product category related to mini vacuum cleaners. But unlike others, this smart device is distinguished by "mind and ingenuity", has artificial intelligence. The device has touch sensors andwith the help of built-in programs successfully bypasses obstacles. Such vacuum cleaners are not intended for general cleaning and will not replace it, but their purpose is no less important - they keep the house clean.

The robot vacuum cleaner will pick up all the debris from the floor, which will ensure a constant feeling of cleanliness. An increasing number of people speak positively about little helpers and, despite the price, buy smart vacuum cleaners. You can talk about the pros for a long time. But the main and main disadvantage is the price. The cost of the simplest economy-class robot vacuum cleaner starts at 10,000 rubles.

According to experts and users, one of the best robot vacuum cleaners is the Japanese-made Panda x500 pet series. The price range varies from 14 to 17 thousand rubles. The vacuum cleaner removes debris from different surfaces (32 types are declared by the manufacturer), it works continuously for up to 110 minutes. Dust collector capacity - 0.45 l, while there is a filling sensor. The suction power reaches 50 W, which is confirmed by user feedback on the good quality of cleaning. It is possible to program the cleaning schedule. The good news is the low noise level. By the way, it is worth saying that such a device is unlikely to be appropriate in a room with a large number of thresholds.

Criteria for choosing a little helper

To select the optimal device, you need to determine the critical parameters. To do this, just look at the detailed characteristics of different models. Power is an important parameter.suction. Mini vacuum cleaners with a power consumption of less than 300 W are considered weak for carpeted surfaces, but for flat and smooth surfaces, they will do without problems.

Type of dust collector: easier and faster to use bags, but in this case there is a periodic problem with the purchase of consumables, with material and time costs. The presence of the container requires cleaning after each use, which entails a constant time cost.

Power type: when purchasing a battery-powered device, you need to be prepared for the fact that it can be discharged at any time. And you have to, breaking away from cleaning, wait for recharging. But its range is not limited by the wire. The mini corded vacuum cleaner is less mobile and its range is limited by the size of the cord and the location of the sockets, but it is certainly stable during cleaning: you will not have to break away from the process.

Not the last role is played by the purpose of the vacuum cleaner. Perhaps you need a mini keyboard vacuum cleaner with enough power to pick up debris from the surface of the table, keyboard and dust from the inside of the system unit. The cost of such a device does not exceed 1000 rubles (and on Chinese sites you can buy cheaper). While the cost of a similar device for the home starts from 1500 rubles. Or, on the contrary, if you need a good handheld mini vacuum cleaner for daily cleaning, then it is better to immediately look towards more powerful models. As practice shows, many housewives first use the vacuum cleaner for its intended purpose, and then switch tocarpets.
