Vacuum cleaners with aquafilter
Aquafilter
— this category includes all vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter - including models where such a dust collector is supplemented with a bag or cyclone; other items on the list do not include such "combined" models.Aquafilter, as the name suggests, works by using water: the air sucked in by the vacuum cleaner passes through the liquid, which traps most of the contaminants. Such systems are highly efficient and hygienic: they capture various contaminants well, including even fine dust, without additional filters. In addition, the air released by the vacuum cleaner features humidified - which is especially useful in the cold season, when heating "dries" the air in the room. And the procedure for cleaning such a dust collector is very simple and convenient: after cleaning, its contents can simply be poured into the sewer. On the other hand, it is desirable to wash and dry aquafilters after each use, which somewhat complicates maintenance. In addition, most of these vacuum cleaners are quite expensive, the passage of air through the water creates additional noise, and the water itself significantly increases the weight of the unit.
Given the shortcomings mentioned, some vacuum cleaners from this category are equipped with other types of dust collectors - a bag or a cyclone. Such a container can be useful, for example, if the aquafilter dries after washing, but suddenly there is a need for additional cleaning, or if it is desirable to avoid excessive noise. However, the need for additional dust collectors is extremely rare, so there are few vacuum cleaners with this configuration, and even there the aquafilter is considered the main type of dust container.
Separately, it is worth emphasizing that the presence of an aquafilter does not mean that the vacuum cleaner is washing (see "Produc type") or at least has the ability to wet cleaning (see "Cleaning type"). Quite a few models with an aqua filter work only in a dry format - and vice versa, units with a wet cleaning function may well be equipped with other types of dust collectors.
