Checklist For Vacuum Cleaning For Home

Apartment size
  • A large apartment(more than 100 m²) requires a large operating radius, so the cable should be as long as possible. Otherwise, you will have to constantly plug it into new sockets. The usual cable length is 5 to 15 meters.
  • The larger the dust collection bin, the longer you can vacuum. Models with bags usually manage a little more than bagless models. The least fits in suction robots.
  • The battery life is crucial for robotic vacuum cleaners. By default, a vacuum robot manages about one pass for average apartments(about 80 m²).
Floor coverings
  • Hard floors (laminate, parquet) require a parquet nozzle or the switchable floor nozzle. Wheels with rubber coating are quieter and do not scratch anything.
  • For carpets, the carpet nozzle is needed. The higher the carpet pile, the less suitable are vacuum robots.
  • In the energy label, note the cleaning classes.
Pets
  • Pay attention to special pet hair brushes in the accessories and high suction power (more than 2500 mmWS or alternatively greater than 250 W). Do not confuse the suction power in W with the motor power in W! The unit “mmWS” means millimeter water column and “W” means watt.
  • For animals that shed a lot of hair, make sure you have a large collection container.
Allergy sufferers
  • The dust emission class should be excellent and there should be an exhaust filter, preferably a HEPA filter of the highest class H 14. All filters should be removable and washable.
  • Prefer vacuum cleaners with a sealable bag.
  • There are special water filter vacuum cleaners for severe allergy sufferers.
  • Allergy sufferers should vacuum more frequently to avoid new dust.
Vacuum cleaner bag – with or without
  • Advantages with bag: blows less dust from the device and larger collection container.
  • Advantages without bag: No additional costs due to bag. Easier emptying of the collection container.
Ease of use
  • Pay attention to handiness, weight and easy rolling of the device.
  • The parked vacuum cleaner should have enough space at the parking place. Pay attention to the dimensions.
Energy consumption
  • Compare energy labels. If possible, choose class A or better.

What happens to spiders in a vacuum cleaner?

As a rule, a spider will not survive being sucked in. Decisive factors here are the suction power of the vacuum cleaner and the bag.

Basically, death in a vacuum cleaner is excruciating for a spider and should be avoided.
