Thomas PARKETT PRESTIGE XT

Advantages: washing vacuum cleaner

Disadvantages: Price, dimensions

Comment: For a very long time, my spouse persuaded to buy this "miracle of technology". Since our apartment does not have a single carpet, only laminate and tiles, after watching all kinds of commercials and having read a lot of reviews, the choice fell on Thomas Parkett Prestige XT Judging by the advertisement, clean water is supplied, but the floors are washed all the same dirty attachment. So after each room you will have to rinse it. The tile attachment is, for me, an absolutely useless piece. In the kitchen, there are light tiles on the floor, which must be washed every day. With my laminate head, because the tile head does not leave the desired result. Again, judging by the advertisements, it washes even windows! Nothing like this! Some divorces. Conclusion: Still, you cannot do without a rag - it does not wash the baseboard, after changing the nozzle for washing, puddles remain (which, again, must be wiped off with a rag). Aqua box is also washed after each use and thoroughly, and not as stated in the advertisement. A lot of money has been spent, but little pleasure from the purchase. Only my spouse does not admit this (

Advantages: I liked everything. Starting with the wow effect after the first cleaning, ending with the Thomas service, who sent a replacement hose two days in advance by courier. We bought a model from the showcase, the nylon sleeve that covered the inside of the hose was dry at the hose. I think the price is quite reasonable, calculate how much you will pay for all the attachments that come with the kit. They took it at the end of January for 29k. Essentially - it vacuums perfectly. Washes perfectly. If something doesn't work as expected for you, read the instructions. It's simple but useful. Almost anything can be washed. The power button on the handle is a very convenient thing, there was such an option on one of the old vacuum cleaners, and I have already forgotten how convenient it is. He's handsome, damn it. Maneuverable.Considering the number of functions - more than compact. Heavy? No.

Disadvantages: Expectations met 147 percent. Washes, cleans, not noisy (compared to a conventional bag vacuum cleaner). Washes the floor poorly? Try changing the product, the kit includes chemicals for carpets and furniture. Does the floor stay wet? Change the angle relative to the floor. In general, read the instructions, read the reviews. Everything has already been chewed 100,000 times.

Comment: Great vacuum cleaner. We have a 5 year old child, a dog and three long-haired cats (it just so happens). Thomas is doing it! I even washed old dirt on the carpet, having previously cleaned them with a vanish and a brush. Then they just disappeared. People, don't be lazy, read the instructions! They are really written for us! And further. I understand everything, but why buy a washing vacuum cleaner if you are not ready to wash it after cleaning? Do you leave dirty water in the bucket after cleaning the floor with a mop and rag? No. The theme is the same here. And washing the vacuum cleaner takes no more than 5 minutes. Last thing. When you wash the inside of the hose under the tap (if you wash it under the tap), remove the power button.

Advantages: Cleaning quality, suction power, many attachments, relatively quiet, handle control - from the category of "pleasant little things"

Disadvantages: Price. The lack of a small nozzle for dry floor cleaning. "Native" consumables are expensive.

Comment: I took this unit about 1.5 months ago. I chose for a long time, weighed all the pros and cons and settled on this model. I read the instructions and started vacuuming. Naturally with an aquafilter. After cleaning, I opened the vacuum cleaner - 1.5 centimeters of dirt formed in the water tank, the dust was no longer absorbed by the water and floated on the surface. I never thought that the house was SO dirty. Accordingly, all the foam filters are also clogged, and the HEPA filter took the main "blow" and we must give it its due, it survived. However, the outlet filter was only slightly dusty. So, the vacuum cleaner still kept about 95% of the dust, even with such an extreme. The cleaning took about an hour. I also wash the hose because there is a lot of dust. Do not forget to disconnect the control button from the handle - it is not sealed, so if water gets in, the electronics may wrap. Now the "maintenance" of the vacuum cleaner takes about 15 minutes - to rinse the water tank (pour out the dirty water) and wipe the vacuum cleaner itself. I leave all the spare parts in the hallway so that they dry, and only then I collect the vacuum cleaner and put it on - it may be inconvenient for someone. It sucks well, both when cleaning the floor and furniture, while (in my opinion) it is quite quiet. This vacuum cleaner - SUV, is designed for light pollution of both the floor and clothing or furniture. But it provides a good degree of purification. I also didn't like the fact that the standard floor nozzle is too wide - it won't fit in some narrow places between furniture. I took the universal noname - "my own" is a little expensive. As for the filter - it works on the principle of "wetting" the dust - that is, water is sprayed onto the intake air and the wetted dust settles in the tank. A good effect is obtained if you add some surfactants to the water (I prefer Domestos) and moisten the foam filters in the tank - then the dust settles better and your HEPA filter will last much longer. UPD: Having used it for some time, I did not regret buying it at all.

Advantages: This is Thomas. That says it all.

Disadvantages: Water pump. Hose.

Comment: There are no complaints about washing the vacuum cleaner (containers for dirty water, hose and nozzles) after cleaning, which everyone writes about.Even if someone writes that it is very difficult, don’t believe it, it’s like washing 3 plates after breakfast. But the hose and nozzles are a diversion! People who write that the hose can twist and break were right. When the hose is twisted 90 degrees, it actually breaks out. I think that each of the users should defiantly pull it out after each cleaning and take it to the warranty, and if it is not accepted under the warranty, then contact an independent examination, which will confirm that the length of the solution supply hose does not correspond to the length of the main suction hose, twisted by 90 degrees. About nozzles. For some reason, there is no soft brush attachment for furniture in so many attached attachments. In addition, when cleaning, you use different attachments for both dry and wet cleaning. For example, if you are cleaning the carpet, you will definitely spray it on the floor, which is more convenient to remove with another nozzle. Therefore, it would be more convenient for a quick change of nozzles if the fittings were located not on the hose handle, but on the nozzles themselves. Next is the pump. My old "green monster" had a completely transparent nozzle, and the pump worked like a car wash, and I saw how the compound I sprayed on the carpet or floor. With modern nozzles, I am not able to see where the solution is being sprayed. And the main problem is the pee pump, which does not imply an even spray of the composition. Spraying turns out to be capillary, this must be understood and adapted to work. In conclusion, this vacuum cleaner is unlikely to be used regularly by women. It is quite heavy, problematic in the technology of use, and you need to understand its principle of operation. Therefore, husbands, do not flatter yourself that this will be a good gift for your wife on March 8th. You will clean them yourself.

Advantages: dust bag full indicator, power cord auto-rewind, nozzle storage space, maneuverable, high quality cleaning

Disadvantages: price

Comment: my wife and I chose a washing vacuum cleaner for a long time. The choice was to buy a powerful, inexpensive, but not cheap, and so that they could wash everything. As a result, we decided to take a closer look at Thomas brand vacuum cleaners. The vacuum cleaner turned out to be cool - it washes cleanly, without streaks, the aquafilter was appreciated - it smells clean in the air)))) you can wash anything - laminate, linoleum, parquet, sofa, windows and even tiles. I liked the suction power, it easily sucks up any dirt, be it earth, wool, food residues or any other debris. And you can easily climb into the darkest corner and see everything, the vacuum cleaner has a backlight. It takes a little time to clean with it. The set includes a bag for nozzles, a trifle, but it is convenient that everything is stored in one place. Convenient in operation, copes with its duties. The quality of the cleaning was rated at 5 even by the mother-in-law, who is picky about everything.)

Advantages: Powerful ... no - VERY powerful, a large number of attachments, the AQUA-BOX washes quickly and easily.

Disadvantages: A small drawback is the hose, it does not rotate 360 ​​degrees like an old vacuum cleaner, you need to make sure that it does not twist.

Comment: We decided to make ourselves a gift for the wedding and buy a good vacuum cleaner. There were two basic requirements: a washing one and a turbo brush, since a cat lives with us and leaves its fur everywhere. The choice fell on Thomas VESTFALIA XT, but while we were on vacation, Thomas PARKETT PRESTIGE XT appeared, which now included just the right nozzle for wet cleaning of laminate and parquet flooring, it is called Aqua Stealth, I understood the hose more firmly, yes and the control on the handle was a nice addition, but unfortunately only on / off. Wet cleaning has not yet been carried out, but after dry cleaning (by the way, now an ordinary 6-liter dust bag is also included with the aqua box), I can say that there is definitely less dust in the apartment, which, after the old vacuum cleaner, settled on the furniture the very next day , here the result lasted a week, and the air, it seems to me, became fresher.The aquabox is enough for a complete cleaning of a two-room apartment, despite the fact that the cat's fur flies "Mama Don't Cry", the aquabox is washed for 3-4 minutes. In general, we are very satisfied with the vacuum cleaner, I hope it will show itself in all its glory with wet cleaning.

Advantages: Does not make noise, clean not only surfaces, but also air from dust, sucks water well.

Disadvantages: Quite large, does not go everywhere.

Comment: I replaced my old vacuum cleaner with this model and am happy with everything: it vacuums very carefully, the apartment is now much cleaner than before after each cleaning, any decrease in its power can be solved by disassembling and washing. I have an old three-room apartment and it only takes a couple of times to clean it up, but I rarely do it: it keeps the room clean for a long time, preventing dust from settling (like the previous vacuum cleaner, which lifted it more than it sucked in). It is also pleasing that you can not bother with brushes, mops and buckets - with this vacuum cleaner you can remove dust and wash the floors, like other surfaces. There are nozzle brushes in the kit and there are a lot of them, which also makes housework easier. When wet cleaning, the vacuum cleaner perfectly sucks water, even from the joints of the tile floor, it does not leave streaks. One inconvenience for me personally - it has to be moved manually to some hard-to-reach corners of the apartment, since it is large enough and does not always pass between furniture.

Advantages: Very powerful, and therefore cleans very well.

Disadvantages: The hose does not rotate 360 ​​degrees around its axis. The wet cleaning handle gets in the way when not in use.

Comment: This is the 3rd vacuum cleaner in the house. 1st regular bag, 2nd without bag (they overslept for every day if anything), and this one is for general cleaning once a week. The most powerful of them all. After wet cleaning, floors and carpets are practically dry. A lot of attachments and cool (handy) chips. Recommend.

Advantages: Powerful

Disadvantages: Noisy, but this is most likely a feature of all washers (there is nothing to compare with)

Comment: I chose a washing vacuum cleaner as a panacea for cleaning, in the phrase WASHING VACUUM CLEANER it is more likely to highlight the word VACUUM CLEANER than WASHING. When buying, it was thought that in the presence of such a vacuum cleaner, only they would need to clean the floors. As it turned out, tiles that are slightly textured (with small holes) are not easily washed from stains, because the vacuum cleaner simply collects the previously sprayed detergent composition. And this is not a minus of a vacuum cleaner, on the contrary, as a VACUUM CLEANER, it just copes with a bang, collects wool, fine dust and sand, stuck food very well, but we must remember that this is still a vacuum cleaner and not an intergalactic ship and it will just perfectly cope with maintaining cleanliness , but it will not save you from wet cleaning, although it will postpone general cleaning with a mop much more. But even a simple mop cannot do without this vacuum cleaner, if you want perfect cleanliness, it is impossible to collect so small garbage without it! As for the hose that it twists - there is no such thing, it rotates 180 grams in one direction and 180 grams in the other direction and stops at one, upper point.

Advantages: 1. powerful. no not like this. very powerful 2.convenient attachments that can turn to any angle and get dust out of any slot 3.a huge number of attachments for all occasions 4.bags for dry cleaning 5.after cleaning, the air is cleaner and humidified

Disadvantages: 1. all these attachments need to be stored somewhere 2. size and weight. I'm not sure if it will be easy for a woman to vacuum clean 3. Annual maintenance of the vacuum cleaner will cost at least 1,500 rubles (change of all filters and purchase of detergent) 4. It is very difficult to find so much place in a small apartment where you can dry all the parts of the vacuum cleaner after cleaning

Comment: I don't know what to write here. the disadvantages of washing vacuum cleaners are known to everyone, because they are visible to the naked eye. but few people will know all the advantages until they try the vacuum cleaner themselves. I was skeptical about this purchase, but my wife persuaded me. now I enjoy cleaning! when cleaning a 3-room apartment, I save energy, time and water.
