How I bought a vacuum cleaner, trusting my intuition, and I was right

We needed a new vacuum cleaner when my husband mistakenly threw away the part I had washed from the old one. I began to study reviews for different models, but soon gave up this activity, realizing that everyone who responds has different requirements and opinions. Then I moved on to studying the characteristics of top models in the price category up to 10,000 rubles. My desire was to find a quiet and powerful vacuum cleaner, preferably a washing one, at a reasonable price.

Making sure that I could not find such a vacuum cleaner, I switched to the offers of the wholesale base where my husband worked.

Why we chose this vacuum cleaner

I wanted to buy a powerful vacuum cleaner with classic dust bags, since I didn't take cyclonic models seriously. But I fell in love with this vacuum cleaner as soon as I saw it on the pages of the price base. Karcher VC 3 - it cost about 8000 (March 2019), and attracted with its yellow-black color. Reading reviews started again, and I was convinced that I wanted this particular vacuum cleaner.

Equipment

There was nothing unusual about the box with the vacuum cleaner. There was a vacuum cleaner itself, a removable container, a hose, a plastic curved tube with a power regulator, a metal extension tube, three standard attachments: for floor / carpet, for furniture and for crevices. Vacuum cleaner filters are located in two places - a dust container and in one of the wheels on the body.

My impressions of work

I have never had such a powerful vacuum cleaner! Despite the fact that according to the characteristics, its power is only 700 W! Our linoleum in the kitchen stuck tightly to the brush, so there was no way to move it. An unthinkable amount of dust, hair and wool gathered from the carpet in the hall (we have a hyper-fluffy cat), so I felt terrified that my children and I lived in such unsanitary conditions... I was pleased with the purchase.

After a year of active use

I have not changed my mind and am satisfied with the work of the vacuum cleaner. If I can find fault with it, I can note a not quite convenient slot attachment, although they are about the same for all models. I would prefer a longer tapered section without a beveled edge.

The very process of cleaning with this vacuum cleaner does not give me any difficulties. The cord is 5 m long, which is quite enough for two adjacent rooms. When I go to the kitchen, I switch the plug to the outlet in the kitchen.

Garbage is always collected in large quantities (although, honestly, I vacuum regularly). The container can be easily removed, its contents are poured out through the opening part.

Having bought this model of a vacuum cleaner, I was convinced that a lot depends on the manufacturer.

Which type of vacuum cleaner do you prefer: cyclonic or bagged vacuum cleaner?
