I washed and vacuumed the apartment at the same time. Review of Deerma VX96W for total cleaning

Last week I urgently needed a new vacuum cleaner, since the previous one was dying.

Criteria for choosing a new vacuum cleaner. It was decided not to consider standard models for dry cleaning. This business is tedious. In addition to the usual collection of dust and dirt, you also need to mop around the apartment, this takes too much time. For this reason, only devices that can do both were considered.

And then Deerma VX96W fell into my hands. He can carry out dry and wet cleaning at the same time and even a little more. Now I realized that my choice fell on this model.

I’ll tell you what’s good about the revolution from a famous brand that is rapidly taking over Russia.

What’s included

The vacuum cleaner itself is disassembled. However, it is not difficult to assemble – you just need to secure the top handle and take the water into a special built-in container.

The device comes with an additional set of rollers, a document, two HEPA filters with a protective mesh (the third is already installed on the device) and a 2-in-1 brush for cleaning floor brushes and cutting hair.

But that’s not all. The vacuum cleaner also comes with a charging station (also in selected form) and a power adapter for it. The station itself is assembled in one step – you put the mount for the vacuum cleaner on the back and connect it to the outlet. All.

Overall, I’m glad that there are spare elements included in the kit, and you don’t have to buy them separately. For this, respect to the manufacturer.

Looks stylish, but with ergonomics

Let me start right away with the fact that this is the heaviest and lightest vacuum cleaner at the same time. It weighs 5 kg without water and about 5.7 kg with water. And calculating its size and bringing it home turned out to be more difficult than I thought. But you only feel this weight while carrying it.

Use the gadget easily and simply. The weight of the structure cannot even be assessed during cleaning – only at the time of installation on the charging station. It is hardly possible to lift the vacuum cleaner.

By the way, for those who do not know how to use a vacuum cleaner, not only printed instructions are provided. Pasted on the body of the device itself QR code leading educational video.

The body itself with the handle of the device is made of black plastic with pure silver decorative inserts. And since this is a vertical vacuum cleaner, it does not take up much space. For understanding, the dimensions are as follows: 800x340x340 mm. He Easily placed in any corner.

The tank for collecting clean water is equipped with a plug with a valve and a micro-mesh. It protects against possible contamination from the water supply.

There is a garbage container attached to the bottom of the vacuum cleaner. It is easily removable and is held in place by a pair of latches. In its upper part there is a coarse filter, on which large debris remains.

Unlike most upright vacuum cleaners, here not one rotary brush, but two. The body of the device can be tilted at an angle of up to 30°, and the nozzle itself rotates by 45°. So I had no problems using it.

Since this was my first time using upright vacuum cleaners, it was a revelation to me that in order to flip the handle you need to attach the bottom part with your foot. When I first heard the crunch, I thought that something had broken – but no, that’s how it should be. When returning to the starting position, the crunch is weaker.

I note that the brushes were located at different distances from the edges of the body. On the left side the removal is 4 centimeters, and on the right it is only 6 mm. So pass the vacuum cleaner at an angle exactly to the right edge of the device.

Let me clarify about the brushes themselves. There are two of them here, and they vary in colors: green and red. Why is that? They rotate from different directions to improve cleaning efficiency. So it’s worth changing that the coaxial roller appears in the front and the green one in the back.

Operate the vacuum cleaner conveniently, all buttons are at hand.

Literally. The control keys were adjusted under the handle that you hold while cleaning.

Just two buttons. The topmost double rocker is responsible for turning on and selecting one of three operating modes: sterilization, automatic and water collection. The bottom key is designed to enable self-cleaning. It only needs to be pressed when you place the vacuum cleaner on the charging station.

Any mode switching is announced in a female voice in English. By default, the volume is quite high, but you can turn it off if necessary.

A little lower functions are limited light, showing the active operating mode of the vacuum cleaner. There are 9 icons in total, including those that indicate errors, contamination of the tank with dirty water or clogging of the rotating brushes.

In sterilization mode, the gadget prepares water before intensive cleaning of the surface, killing excess bacteria.

In automatic mode, the device itself selects the suction power. And in the water collection mode, the volume increases to maximum – 15,000 Pa.

The charge can be observed on the large LED ring. When connected to work, the indicator lights up green, and when recharging is required, it turns red.

How to vacuum cleaner? Normal?

There were no problems with these problems at all. Thus, his decision goes off with a bang.

The only thing is, if necessary, keep the mount away from the charging station, because it tends to pull out along with the vacuum cleaner. Well, there are fences that overturn this structure if you don’t hold it.

Always check that there is water in the tank. Without it, the device will not work.

The vacuum cleaner works great on any surface. I have tiles, laminate, and rugs at home. Everywhere cleaning is successful. Rotary brushes are really effective at cleaning floors without leaving anything behind.

Sometimes one sound may be repeated 2-3 times. This is because the gadget itself regulates the suction power; this parameter can be adjusted manually.

What is important is that I did not feel a strong negative noise level from the vacuum cleaner – up to about 75-80 dBA.

Works fine, but I would like a little more autonomy

The operating time of the device directly depends on what exactly you are using and in what mode.

A standard vacuum cleaner can work to get one charger, maybe a little more. If you have a lot of carpeting or you have turned on the water collection mode, the autonomy will drop to 15 minutes.

Fortunately, you don’t need to charge the device for a long time either. Nominally, if you need to clean something up, then 20 minutes of charging is enough. And so it will take about a couple of hours to fully replenish energy.

A good vacuum cleaner that is worth the money

Yes, it has disadvantages, but you can’t live without them. And I can’t call them supercritical. The most important thing is that problems with autonomy may arise if you have a really large apartment or country house.

Otherwise, the Deerma VX96W is an excellent vacuum cleaner that can carry out dry and wet cleaning. And he does this really effectively, without spending much time on it.

The main thing is to turn on the self-cleaning mode after each cleaning to avoid the formation of unpleasant odors.

The gadget independently changes the suction strength, and this is useful. You only do cleaning, without thinking about anything else.

Deerma VX96W costs 18 thousand rubles in Russia. rubles

By the way! By promotional code TPSRSNG34500 you can get a discount 500 rubles.

Whether it’s a lot or a little, decide for yourself. But personally, I think that their cost, compared to the comparison, is completely justified.
