Anyone have good information about buying a vacuum cleaner?

[jingjai9]

I want to buy a vacuum cleaner for my home as the old brooms are not good enough. I owned a vacuum in the past but you could not change the bags and the vacuum became dirty on the inside. Also, the suction was less than adequate. Perhaps I bought a machine that was too cheap for what I expected from it.

Can anyone suggest a good brand of vacuum that will do an adequate cleaning of the floors inside the house, the window sills, and the interior of my car? Adequate means remove all dust from surface of floors and corners, etc. I do not want to vacuum to find dust remaining on the floors when I finish. I want to pick up the dust, not merely stir it around.

 

How much should I spend and what brands are recommended? Have vacuum cleaners improved over the last decade here in Thailand?

Just got a Dreame from Shopee @ Bht 7000. Very good.

I will buy another HItachi CV SF18 1800W bagless vacuum if my current one stopped working.

I have 3m ceiling the extensions are useful to get to the spider webs. It's not small so check the dimensions before ordering one.

Found this to be great. Lots of vacuum power and it will work in wet or dry. I use throughout the house and for our cars.

Empty them, clean them and change the filters frequently. Continue to use one with clogged filters and you'll quickly ruin the motor. Keep the filters clean (replacements are dirt cheap and easy to find on Lazada etc) and they'll last for ages and easily out suck the maid.

I sold my vacuum cleaner, it was just gathering dust.

I bought a Sharp in the past good suction but the the motor temperature controller failed. Result a molten motor support around the motor suction inlet. I made a new one of silicon rubber and now I run only 5 minutes on the lowest speed, I am afraid it gets on fire😂. You do not want to see a running vacuum cleaner catch fire, looks like a jet motor.

[Tropposurfer]

Buy the very best you can afford, you won't regret it.

Upright/wand styled vacuums are popular and quite easy to use (great for a quick clean of an area). For the whole house we use a floor styled machine ... Miele 👍

The good old Hoovers are still great value.

Have had a Sharp 2000W bagless for 5 years, still going strong. The OP needs to look at the wattage, 2000W would be my minimum, the higher the better.

[JBChiangRai]

We have bought 3 of Xiaomi vacuum cleaners, we broke one by pulling on the cord in places too far from the socket, the other 2 are going strong.

 

Xiaomi Deerma DX700 & DX810

 

Both under 1,000 baht and our maids love them, 30,000 PA and bagless, bought on lazada.

[Gsxrnz]

According to my missus, emptying the dust container and cleaning the filters in the bag-less type is a right royal pain.

 

And whilst the bag-less models with multiple filters claim to suck up dust down to microscopic size, open your balcony door for 3 minutes and all the dust has been replaced.

Dyson have made a name for themselves from vacuum cleaners, now considered the best.

 

Most are super-expensive, 15,000 to 30,000 but there are some around 3,000 baht with 5 star reviews.

Sounds noisy. Does it wash the floor well?

I  spent 40 years in construction using just these, the amount of crap they sucked up before failing was incredible also the hoses dont break like many vacuums ive seen in thailand https://thaismegp.com/product/61dbe67d2b3aa382ba09f3a2

Have also had good experiences with Numatic, various sized units. Great for vaccing sand/gravel out of pool filters and they run and run.

[Iamloki]

First, you don't want a good vacuum cleaner... you want one that sucks.

Okay... bad joke out of the way...

I bought a Hitachi CV-SE22V 2200 bagless 3 or 4 years ago. HEPA filtration seems very efficient. The main filter also does a good job, so much so it constantly needs cleaning. I have a small air compressor that makes the job a breeze (pun intended)... I would highly recommend the machine - except the vac head does not flatten out fully for getting under furniture.

[bignbad]

I bought 'er indoors an Airbot, rechargeable thing, she hated it at first, now vacuums at least twice a day, loves it. Good suction, easy to clean.

Good morning. Any more golden nuggets to spew? 😜

 

Its a vacuum not a floor polisher. Do you generally look for vacuum power or quietness when you purchase one?

Yes, but stroll on. Go and take a chill pill. Life’s too short to be miserable. Truly.

I have three vacuum cleaners. And they are all different and work different.

First, I bought a "normal" vacuum cleaner, something like this.

It removes small parts (like parts of cookies on the floor), and it removes most dust.

It has a dust bag which has to be replaced maybe every one or two weeks.

(to be continued below)

 

Then I bought a Dyson. It has no bag and is relatively small.

It is perfect for dust and tight corners. But above mentioned cookie pieces are already too big for that thing.

 

 

 

Last but not least I have a professional "dust extractor" No bags, just a big tank. Perfect for cleaning of construction sites and anything else with cookie sized debris. I can also use it to suck water after I change one filter. It's great to get an area roughly cleaned. But for the final touch then I would use the Dyson again.

Some (maybe all) Dyson also have some features to clean (animal) hair which can easily clog ordinary vacuum cleaners.

Thanks for all the replies. This is some good information for making a choice. The jokes and other comments add some spice to the posts.

 

[Toby1947]

I try to give good information but it usually sucks. 

[LikeItHot]

I have a Xiaomi robot with LIDAR.  It vacuums and mops.  Probably saved me a few hundred hours of work.  Yes I will still do a deeper hand clean on occasion when warranted but for a daily sweep it can't be beat.
