category Carpet-cleaners, posted July 9, 2011

п»їFirst of all, carpet cleaners are divided into household and shop vacuums, dry-type cleaners, wet and dry vacuum cleaners, backpack, industrial and ex-proof vacuum cleaners.

Dry-type carpet cleaners fall into a few categories. Some of them have dust-collecting bags made of paper (one-use bags) or cloth (re-usable bags). Paper bags are more beneficial because it is enough to throw them away after they have been filled. It is not necessary to clean them regularly unlike the cloth bags. On other hand, one cloth bag can be used for a few years while one paper bag can be used only for a few weeks. The other models have dust storage containers made of transparent plastic to see how much room has left. The main drawback of such vacuum cleaners is a high noise level.

There are also dry-type carpet cleaners equipped with a water filter. It is rather convenient, because dust falls into water in the reservoir and at the same time the air moistened during vacuum cleaning. The only thing the owner of such carpet cleaner has to do is to change water in the reservoir and dry it. There is no need to buy dust-collecting bags, but these carpet cleaners are bulky and more expensive than the models with cloth or paper bags.

As for the wet-dry vacuum cleaners, they can boast of lots of functional capabilities. These carpet cleaners have a special reservoir filled with water (from 2 to 10 liters). Water from this reservoir is delivered through the hose and sprayed with help of a special header. Then dirty water is sucked in during vacuum cleaning. These carpet cleaners are ideal both for dry and wet cleaning.

They can also be used to unclog a kitchen sink, clean windows or tile, deodorize air in the rooms, etc. their key drawbacks are size, high price and high power consumption (on average, it is 1600 Watt).
