Thomas DryBox Amfibia reviews
Yandex.Market data
Advantages:
Beautiful appearance, cleaning quality, two separate filters: one for dry cleaning, cyclone type, the second, an aqua filter, where dust is collected in a bath with water., A well-known brand
Disadvantages:
How high the quality of the design of the filter for dry cleaning is, so simplified and it is obvious that the design of the main aquafilter is short-lived, which does not imply any frequent use., With a really minimal number of parts for flushing, the aquafilter has a serious design miscalculation, namely: the retainer of the two halves of the aquafilter (upper and lower) is a thin plastic plate, working on a fracture. When connecting the upper and lower parts of the aquafilter, it is necessary to apply considerable force to compress the seal, and this pseudo-fixator, being bent, enters the groove with a thin tooth, holds the parts of the aquafilter. bend, and it bounces off with a crunch. There can be no talk of any frequent use of the aquafilter, well, how many cycles until a plastic plate breaks about a millimeter thick and a few centimeters wide ?!
Comment:
When I showed my acquaintances this aquafilter clip, they were surprised that such an expensive vacuum cleaner is so expensive by their standards. But in reality, for German engineers 25,000 rubles, in terms of their monetary equivalent, are some pitiful pennies, and they will probably say: "Well what do you want for such a penny. " Instead of joy, this product caused me disappointment. I will modify the retainer myself: I will make a hinged metal joint, since I have my own workshop and experience. But what about an ordinary buyer, because the aquafilter is the main idea here, and without it the vacuum cleaner is defective. Bad. Very much. bad. I do not give a lower rating just because the rest of the parts are made with high quality. If my review is removed, it will be published on other resources.

Advantages:
1. High quality materials and well thought-out design. Rubber bumpers absorb impacts. 2.High efficiency (average power consumption and high suction power). The cleaning quality is very high. 3. Tolerable weight and versatility. In fact, it is both a dry and a wet vacuum cleaner in one bottle. 4. The separation system works perfectly until very large debris is sucked into the vacuum cleaner (see disadvantages). 5. Simple maintainable design. 6. Long electrical cable and secure fit of the suction hose, pipe and brush joints = large cleaning area without stopping switching.
Disadvantages:
0. The main drawback is the lack of constructive protection against switching on and operating the vacuum cleaner without a container installed in it. On the street is the 21st century, and in a vacuum cleaner for 25 kilo rubles, the designers abandoned the standard feature for much cheaper devices - "protection from the fool". So be careful, check the presence of the container before turning it on, the lid is transparent and everything is visible, but the probable "carelessness" of your household with this vacuum cleaner will need to be taken into account ... 1. A wet box really has a smaller margin of safety compared to a dry one (made apparently , in order to reduce the weight of the vacuum cleaner in a wet configuration). But this is not critical, if everything is assembled / disassembled according to the instructions, then without unnecessary effort it will not break and will last a long time. 2. A serious problem with the vacuum cleaner lies in the dry box. The system for separating dust into large and small is clogged with any garbage, the size of which is larger than a candy wrapper. For cleaning, you have to stop cleaning, shake out large debris, and disassemble and clean the separation device, which by this time is already all in coarse and fine dust, and which at the time of disassembly strives to fly in all directions. To eliminate this problem, you will probably have to change the cleaning technology, and collect such garbage manually. 3. The brush and hose do electrolyze a little during cleaning and attract dust and pet hair.
Comment:
Decent option. If you really need both a wet and dry vacuum cleaner, then it makes sense to take a closer look at it.

Advantages:
More attachments. Two containers for dry and wet cleaning.
Disadvantages:
Didn't find it. The hassle is added by the need to wash it after wet cleaning (hose, nozzles, dust collector), but there is no escape from this (there will be a smell in the hose and filter). The maximum that I spent was 10 after cleaning for washing it.
Comment:
The vacuum cleaner is great, very powerful. You are amazed how much dirt it removes, especially when you carry out wet cleaning. Sucked all the stains off the light sofa. Coffee, wine, etc. I cleaned all the stains. For this I used vanish for carpets. In daily use, there is a dry dust collector. Wet cleaning once a week.

Advantages:
Good power, quiet enough.
Disadvantages:
Defective plastic cap on all revised samples
Comment:
I had never used a washing vacuum cleaner before, but the new apartment has a lot of tiles on the floor, and the old one is dead, so we decided to buy it. Prior to this, seven years there was an ordinary 1800W Samsung, which cleaned smartly, but did not survive the repair. I evaporated to buy this Thomas - 4! Vacuum cleaners ordered and not accepted by me had a manufacturing defect - cracks and chips of plastic on the transparent cover in the area of the hose connection point. And this is for everyone in different stores, and cheaper models with the same cover have the same problems. As a result, I spat and bought the one with fewer cracks. In terms of power - quite enough, carpet and carpets are vacuumed with a bang, and surprisingly it works much quieter than the old one.For dry cleaning, the box is normal. I didn’t see where fine dust was collecting, but it’s really more convenient to get it out and shake it out than in the old one. The concept of wet cleaning is new to me, but in fact the tiles are clean, the hair from the cat has been collected, so it successfully replaces the traditional combo vacuum cleaner + mop in this sense. The water in the tank runs out very quickly - I have enough of it for 10 meters, then I have to top up (maybe I haven't adapted yet). The vacuum cleaner is healthy and needs a lot of space. Fumbling with nozzles, which have their own hoses for supplying water, which must be snapped to the pipe, etc. not particularly happy, but apparently in no other way. Dust boxes must be washed and dried well after each cleaning - otherwise there will be an unpleasant smell from the vacuum cleaner during a new cleaning. I did not feel the effect of humidifying the air. Rides quite easily, albeit large. The cord unwinds automatically. A resume is a normal thing, much faster than a regular vacuum cleaner + mop and less labor intensive.

Advantages:
This is the second Thomas in the house. The first burned out motor after 7 years. And if the company had not made a vacuum cleaner with a similar container, which does not need to be washed every time during dry cleaning, it would not have bought Thomas again. The model has become more maneuverable and compact, slightly lighter than the previous one.
Disadvantages:
In this model, I did not like the clamps of the thin hose on the main hose for the water supply. They are too tight to remove. But these are my feelings, it does not affect the functionality in any way.
Comment:
She washes parquet and tiles very efficiently and dry, as always. Wool from two cats collects perfectly.

Advantages:
In general, there is probably no point in talking about washing vacuum cleaners if you read reviews about washing vacuum cleaners. Therefore, I will be specific: 1. A long power cord, plugged into an outlet in the middle of the apartment in the corridor and you clean the whole apartment. 2. A very convenient wire winding system, it works like a seat belt in a car, pulled it a little and it unwinds itself in the direction of travel back. 3. Suction power is high enough, I will not measure with aero wool here, we have a manual dyson, and there was once a washing bissel, Thomas has the most powerful suction =) 4. A well-thought-out brush system for cleaning the hard floor, our whole apartment is laminate and porcelain stoneware, so for me this is an important parameter, you go forward - you wet it, you go back along the same strip - you wipe it dry, the floors are perfectly washed, as if you were rubbing it with a rag, if the stain is greasy in the kitchen, you just rubbed it back and forth in one place and that's it rubbed off (a very high-quality rag is attached to the brush, I don't know what to call it, like on a mop in general)
Disadvantages:
Not revealed yet
Comment:
I tried dry cleaning, but you won’t surprise me too much, I already wrote above that I have a Dyson brush, so I’m familiar with the work of a cyclone, a dry box works like a regular vacuum cleaner for every day, but for every day only Dyson is cooler than a Dyson, so dry cleaning it past me. We bought an aqua vacuum cleaner to use the aqua filter. I tried to wash the carpet, with a high pile, after washing the carpet is a little damp, but dry within 30 - 50 minutes. The water is very dirty after washing, but in appearance the carpet was not very dirty, so nothing seemed to change by sight. I do not attribute to disadvantages, washing the vacuum cleaner after use, because I already had a bissel - I’ll tell you it was hemorrhoids, but Thomas washes normally, well, I spent 2-4 minutes rinsing everything under pressure from the shower, including the hose, and put it to dry. my wife is allergic, so we often do wet cleaning, the apartment is clean, so I won't write something about the magic of humidity and clean air after the vacuum cleaner, but the air "exhaled" by the vacuum cleaner is absolutely odorless. By the way, the plastic of the aquabox is not so dead as many say, I also read before buying that the aquabox is flimsy, it is absolutely normal, just plastic, in terms of strength it is similar to an aquafiltrt for water which is a jug.In general, I am satisfied with the purchase and the result, what I expected from the vacuum cleaner, I got it =) bought for 27 kilo rubles After using it for several months, public opinion has not changed, the vacuum cleaner is excellent. The only identified drawback is that it quickly erases the rubber band on the floor brush, it starts to collect water badly, I ordered 10 pieces on the Thomas website in reserve, the price is 190 rubles apiece so far, I hope they will make changes to the technology.

Advantages:
Multifunctionality, quality of materials, appearance, does not make noise like a fighter.
Disadvantages:
Many attachments included. In principle, these are its advantages. As a result, it takes up 2 times more space than an old vacuum cleaner, but in terms of the quality of workmanship, materials and cleaning, it can not be compared with it. I think it's too heavy for a fragile woman. And it's not a shame that the lid on the water flask is not equipped with latches. If not carefully placed, you can overturn the flask with water.
Comment:
Replaced the old budget Samsung bagless vacuum cleaner. Tired of constantly washing filters and pulling hair out of the flask. Thomas is just a super vacuum cleaner. While we were experimenting with cleaning floors, my wife overturned the water tank. As a result, about one and a half liters of water ended up on the carpet of the corridor and the laminate of the room. Everything was removed with thomas in 5 minutes. No nerves. After cleaning, the carpet was almost dry, the laminate was completely free of traces of disaster. There was no limit to surprise. In general, the vacuum cleaner is SUPER! I advise everyone! Sucks in dust even around the edges of the nozzle. When vacuuming through the water, we were very surprised at where there was so much dirt. Washing the floor is also a pleasure.

Advantages:
It looks solid. Will really suck up all the fine dust. Cool attachments. Very suitable for dry quick cleaning.
Disadvantages:
The tank is consumed very quickly. Do not push the vacuum cleaner sharply, otherwise it will spill out of the tank. It is huge for small apartments. Not the first time it is possible to put a pipe with a brush into the holder. After the third dry cleaning, dust began to enter the body.
Comment:
Tires collecting for washing the floor and driving it correctly to keep it dry =)

Advantages:
We have a cat. The apartment is large and there are mostly tiles on the floor. The rags did not completely collect the wool, it was decided to buy a washing vacuum cleaner. I chose this one and I just can't get enough of it! The floor is perfect, after cleaning (and there is still parquet in the room, but there is a special nozzle for it), even after doing dry cleaning, and then wet cleaning you wonder how much unnoticed dust remains. I don’t know about air purification, I didn’t notice, but in all other respects it is very convenient and worth its money (bought at a discount for 24,990). If you want not to bother and not wash the nozzles, then you can do dry cleaning, the presence of 2 boxes greatly simplifies life, although washing it after wet cleaning takes 5-7 minutes. I advise everyone!
