Why Zelmer

Zelmer is a German company that produces its products in Polish factories. Both are good because they guarantee European quality standards. Cleaning equipment from this company is famous for its reliability and efficiency.

The company's engineers are constantly improving products, adding the most modern technologies to them.

Plus, mass production and the relative proximity of our borders make this product accessible to Russian buyers.

How do Zelmer washing vacuum cleaners work?

The main difference between washing vacuum cleaners and dry cleaning units is the presence of a water filter that effectively collects even the smallest particles of dirt. In addition to this, the device also has a reservoir with clean water, which is needed for wet cleaning.

These vacuum cleaners are equipped with a water supply pump and a powerful suction pump.

For ease of use, washing vacuum cleaners are equipped with a wide selection of attachments for different purposes.

Criteria for choosing a washing vacuum cleaner

The algorithm for choosing cleaning equipment consists of assessing the basic technical characteristics, comparing key operating parameters with the dimensions of the home and other operating conditions.

First of all, a number of criteria should be taken into account:

• power of equipment;
• design of the dust collector;
• ease of control;
• completeness;
• secondary parameters.

Power. The main indicator of the performance of the unit. The power determines how efficiently and quickly the equipment can suck up debris and clean carpets of small debris, wool, and hair. An acceptable suction force for household devices is 300-320 W.

For small-sized housing, vacuum cleaners with 270-300 W ratings are also suitable. When choosing equipment for spacious apartments, it is better not to skimp on power, otherwise cleaning will take an hour instead of 20 minutes

It is important not to confuse the indicator of motor consumption and traction force. The first is always larger than the second; its value for washing models is calculated from 1200 W. Based on the power consumption, you can judge the expected expenditure on electricity.

Dust collector type. The washing units are equipped with aqua filters. Different manufacturers offer their own solutions for the design of the water dust collector. The ease of maintenance of the washing unit largely depends on their performance.

The most practical solution is when the tank with the washing liquid and the waste water collection are located nearby, and not located one above the other. This makes the work somewhat easier. To refuel, you do not need to remove all the tanks, just open the lid and fill with clean water.

This type of aqua filter is provided in Zelmer vacuum cleaners. The main aquabox has two sections for collecting and filtering dirty water. A foam coarse filter is located here

Unit control. Most washing models are equipped with a telescope handle. This is very convenient - the handle can be adjusted to the user’s height in a matter of seconds. On some modifications, a control panel is also provided here.

This solution makes cleaning easier - you don’t have to bend over to the main module. Handle controls are usually found in premium models.

In Zelmer washing units, the speed switch is located on the body. As a rule, operation is possible in five suction modes. This is more than enough for household use

Additional criteria. This group of parameters includes indicators that contribute to more efficient and convenient use of the unit.

Significant characteristics:

• filtration system – the presence of an exhaust HEPA barrier improves air quality, important for allergy sufferers and small children;
• automatic cord winding - the cable does not get tangled underfoot;
• smooth engine start – extends the service life of equipment;
• automatic shutdown of the unit - prevents the vacuum cleaner from working without water in the tank, preventing overheating of the engine;
• noise indicator - for cleaning equipment the optimal value is in the range of 65-75 dB, Zelmer models show 80-84 dB.

An important criterion is the completeness of the vacuum cleaner. There must be a universal nozzle (floor/carpet), a crevice brush, and accessories for furniture cleaning and wet cleaning. A convenient device is an adapter for washing windows and mirrors.

Serial models of Zelmer washing vacuum cleaners

The line of washing vacuum cleaners from Zelmer is represented by several popular models. The differences between them are insignificant, but if you are making a principled choice, pay attention to them.

Zelmer Aquos

If the quality of cleaning is important to you, and not comfort during it, then you need this model.

It is equipped not with a cyclone filter, but with an aqua filter. This guarantees the most efficient collection of dust without it flying out of the outlet of the vacuum cleaner. All dirt settles in the water and, after cleaning, is simply sent to the sewer.

If you have asthmatics at home, you can safely vacuum in their presence.

Tip : if you add a few drops of essential oils to the water of the aquafilter, you will aromatize and moisten the atmosphere in the room during the cleaning process.

In addition to the water filter, the Aquos model also has a bag filter, which may be useful for emergency cleaning.

Another not very noticeable nuance is that the model has rubberized wheels. They will be especially appreciated by owners of laminate or parquet floors.

For thorough cleaning, this unit has many small attachments and the place to store them is located in the handle, this is convenient and they will not be lost. It should be noted that here is probably the largest range of attachments possible. Among them is a nozzle for cleaning laminate floors with natural bristles.

The only disadvantages of this model include a high noise level of about 86 dB and an impressive weight of about 7 kg.

Zelmer Aquawelt

This model is equipped with a double filtration system: an aqua filter and a washable HEPA filter.

The pump supplying water is very powerful - it sprays water in a wide fan, preventing it from rising into the air during cleaning.

This model also has a lot of different attachments and a niche in the body for storing them.

The unit is equipped with a digital control, in which you can even choose the option of economical electricity consumption

Users note the quality of the turbo brush attachment, which very effectively collects wool and hair from fleecy carpets.

Among the shortcomings in the reviews, you can find complaints about tight buttons and an inconvenient configuration of the brush head, which does not squeeze under low sofas and quickly becomes clogged with debris.

Features of the Zelmer Aquawelt Plus vacuum cleaner

The Aquawelt Plus model, as a modification of the Aquawelt line, has some nuances in its design and control. Read more about them in this video:

Like most cleaning aquatic equipment, the ZVC752ST requires a lot of space for storage - about 0.5 square meters. m.

3rd place – Zelmer ZVC762ZK

The representative of the budget series ZVC762ZK is also a combined unit that combines washing and dry cleaning capabilities. For the first option, a volumetric water filter, an additional tank for detergent and a pair of nozzles are provided. Dry cleaning can be done with an aquabox or dust bag.

The main advantages noted by users: affordability of purchase, decent traction power, the presence of a HEPA washing filter, ease of maintenance of the equipment after cleaning. The unit cleans upholstered furniture and carpets well.

Design flaws: poor attachment of the detergent tube to the hose, questionable quality of plastic, the button for spraying liquid often breaks. The drip supply of water does not tolerate delays in cleaning - when stopping, a puddle gradually accumulates on the floor.

4th place – Zelmer ZVC752SP

The disadvantages of the ZVC752SP are due to imperfect technical performance. For some, the telescopic handle breaks down, the washing liquid injection button and the pump break. In Zelmer’s defense, it should be noted that the duration of the warranty is long. The company's service center resolves most problems fairly quickly.

Adding to the inconvenience of use is the need to regularly clean the spray nozzles and significant foaming in the HEPA filter - you can’t do without a defoamer.

5th place – Zelmer ZVC762ZP

The body is made of black and orange plastic.

ZVC762ZP is a prototype of Zelmer ZVC762ZK, so their disadvantages are similar. In isolated cases, users complain about rapid motor breakdown. As a rule, this is due to improper operation - a working vacuum cleaner should not be turned over.

6th place – Zelmer ZVC762SP

Aquawelt Plus closes the rating . The unit is equipped with aqua filter and HEPA filtration - this equipment provides high-quality cleaning and a high degree of purification of the output air.

How to use a Zelmer vacuum cleaner on different surfaces

There is nothing difficult about cleaning with a washing vacuum cleaner. You just need to develop a consistent algorithm of actions for yourself from the very beginning so as not to make unnecessary movements.

Instructions for preparing the vacuum cleaner for use:

• fill the container with water, add special shampoo to it, if necessary;
• connect the hose and nozzles;
• turn on the vacuum cleaner and start cleaning.

Important! Make sure your detergent is safe for the surface you are vacuuming.

If you are washing floors covered with tiles or linoleum, first apply the soap mixture, then rinse it with clean water and remove any remaining moisture with dry suction.

To wash laminate flooring, be sure to turn on the vacuum cleaner at full power and remove the water immediately after splashing, do not wait for it to leak into the grooves of the coating. Do not overuse wet cleaning of laminate floors, this will affect their durability. And do not use hard bristled nozzles for this type of coating.

Important! Cleaning parquet with a vacuum cleaner is not recommended. The only exceptions are coatings treated with a special moisture-proofing compound.

Carpets should be washed with special compounds that will preserve the colors. If you purchased a new compound, try it first on an inconspicuous area. It is more effective to do this with a brush that collects dirt well from the pile. A vibrating brush gives the best results.

After wet cleaning, it is advisable not to walk on the carpet until it is completely dry.

You can use a washing vacuum cleaner to clean windows. To do this, the water supply must be set to a minimum and special nozzles must be used.

Wet cleaning of upholstered furniture gives excellent results.

If the dirt is strong, you can pre-treat it with soap and give some time for the dirt to dissolve. Then rinse everything off with clean water and remove excess moisture.

Zelmer washing vacuum cleaners combine many functions; their design is safe and durable. The main advantage of this technique is high-quality aqua filters. Vacuum cleaners also have soft wheels that do not damage delicate surfaces when moving.

Zelmer vacuum cleaners are universal and can operate in bagless and bagless mode. Some models are equipped with an energy-saving EcoPower motor, and with a power of 1600 W they provide high quality cleaning.

The housing of Zelmer technical devices is made of high-strength plastic that withstands impacts and resists tensile and bending loads. The design will support up to 100 kg of weight: you can safely stand on such a device and not be afraid that children will sit on it. The device has a fairly powerful and reliable hose that cannot be torn even if desired. Helpful options include overload protection: if something gets stuck in a pipe or hose and prevents air from being drawn in, the engine automatically resets and doesn't burn out.

Operating the vacuum cleaner is simple. On the body there are power buttons, cord winding control, power adjustment, indicators for water supply and filter contamination (if provided), as well as a power indicator.

On the other side, there is a symmetrically located compartment with a HEPA filter, which filters up to 99.9% of air pollutants, including cigarette smoke. It is convenient to remove and install back.

How to care for a washing vacuum cleaner

A washing vacuum cleaner requires special care. First of all, never continue working if the motor is humming loudly. This means that there is a blockage. After each cleaning, thoroughly wash all filters and dry them. Wipe dry all the insides of the vacuum cleaner, remove any dirt trapped under the sealing strips.

Rinse the nozzles, the rod and, of course, the hose. Moist dirt may remain in the ridged interior of the hose. Later, during storage, an unpleasant odor may appear.

Make sure everything is thoroughly dry before putting filters and attachments back in place.

• Due to the non-separable design, it is impossible to repair a broken engine.
• If the vacuum cleaner does not turn on, check whether the cord is defective or the socket is faulty.
• Carefully monitor the cleanliness of water and dust filters.

• If you use detergent, be sure to add a defoamer, this way you will avoid damage to the vacuum cleaner.

Every housewife is familiar with such an assistant as a vacuum cleaner. But not everyone knows how to use a washing vacuum cleaner. The operation of such household appliances has its own characteristics.

To understand how to use a washing vacuum cleaner, you need to have an idea of ​​its structure and operating principle. To do this, you can consider the popular vacuum cleaners of the Zelmer and Thomas brands.

Tips: how to disassemble Zelmer Aquawelt 1600W

Zelmer is a unit that has many positive aspects, thanks to which it becomes so popular around the world. It is multifunctional. The products of this company have excellent equipment, since there are several brushes, and it is possible to purchase them additionally.

To disassemble Zelmer Aquawelt, just use a screwdriver

Earther - excellent quality, full compliance with all sanitary standards, optimal cost, availability of spare parts, original design and many positive reviews.

Zelmer models of washing vacuum cleaners also have a number of disadvantages, but those who use them consider them to be completely insignificant. Heavy weight, which makes cleaning difficult if you need to do it on several floors.

And further:

1. The parameters of the product may not be the most compact, and you will need to prepare a special place for storing it.
2. Detergent is not included.
3. Difficult to assemble and actually use.
4. The design contains a HEPA filter, which complicates the process of suctioning debris.

Procedure for wet cleaning

We suggest considering the operating procedure specifically for wet cleaning, since the principle of dry cleaning has been known for a long time. Before you start cleaning the room, you need to make sure that the floors or carpet are not afraid of moisture and tolerate household chemicals well. You can first try the action of a washing vacuum cleaner somewhere on the edge. Procedure:

1. Using the instructions will allow you to assemble the unit into a single whole.
2. Add the required amount of water and detergent to the provided containers.
3. If there are dirty spots, they should be treated separately with a cleaning mixture.
4. Turn on the vacuum cleaner at maximum power and wash the room first with a cleaning solution. It is better to start from the far corner of the room, and to improve the quality of cleaning, it is better to overlap the brush lines.
5. After treating the room with detergent, remove any remaining residue with clean water. To do this, fill the container with clean warm water and repeat the procedure.
6. After wet treatment of the floor, it is necessary to pass the suction nozzle several times to dry the coating.

7. Upon completion of cleaning, the vacuum cleaner must be rinsed. But first the device will need to be disassembled.

To dry the flooring faster, you need to open all the windows in the room for a short time.

If you decide to purchase such functional and expensive equipment, it is recommended to give preference to trusted global manufacturers engaged in the production and sale of washing vacuum cleaners. The most popular brands among filter models are such well-known brands as Thomas and Zelmer. It is they who have been occupying a leading position in the mass production of household appliances for cleaning premises for quite some time.

Flaws

The disadvantages of Zelmer washing vacuum cleaners include the cleaning principle itself. The device intensively saturates the carpet with moisture, and the dirt is not completely removed. If the textiles are heavily soiled, they will have to be dry-cleaned; a washing vacuum cleaner is not an option in such a situation. Zelmer devices are not suitable for products made of natural wool, and after wet cleaning the textiles must be thoroughly dried.

Like many other brands, Zelmer is not suitable for cleaning laminate and solid wood floors. But the device cleans varnished parquet, tiles, linoleum and glass ceramics well.

Large weight is also difficult to classify as an advantage. Without accessories, the devices weigh more than 8 kg, but together with the attachments and water in the tank, the vacuum cleaner becomes too heavy to lift. This is partly compensated by good maneuverability.

Due to its design, the vacuum cleaner cannot be parked vertically. The replacement aquafilter module will have to be stored separately from the device itself. But against the backdrop of Zelmer’s technical capabilities, many of the shortcomings pale into insignificance.

Thomas washing vacuum cleaner review

To determine which of two well-known brands is best for you, Zelmer or Thomas, and how to use them, you need to consider the pros and cons of each in turn. Let's start with Thomas MISTRAL XS. The main advantages of this model include the following:

8. The unit can be parked in different ways, and does not require much space for storage.
9. It is not very noisy during operation.

Along with the advantages, Thomas MISTRAL XS also has some disadvantages:

1. The kit does not include a turbo brush, which works well on carpets.
2. Inconvenient and insufficiently sized container for storing components.
3. When parked vertically, the roof of the compartment where the attachments are located may open.
4. There is no cord winder button.
