Thomas SUPER 30S Aquafilter

Advantages: - does not throw dust back after dry cleaning, all dust and debris remain in the water; - without any dust bags; - simple construction; - easy to assemble, disassemble, wash; - perfectly cleans carpets.

Disadvantages: - noisy; - whistles when the aquafilter tubes are incorrectly installed during dry cleaning; - requires a lot of storage space.

Comment: We have been using this model for over 4 years. There is nothing to break under normal use. In the presence of small children and carpets - an irreplaceable thing. We clean once or twice a month the carpets in the apartment and the sofa in the wet cleaning mode, And usually additionally after the holidays))) I cleaned the seats in the car several times - a super result. Very often, relatives take them for wet cleaning. In the dry cleaning mode, thanks to the aquafilter, the smell of dust does not remain like after conventional vacuum cleaners. For general cleaning in the house - just what you need! It is not convenient to use every day, as it is large and requires rinsing after cleaning. Once I used it to collect water after the underwater pipe of cold water burst under the sink and a huge puddle leaked - I collected all the water without any problems and the neighbors from the bottom did not suffer))). For more than four years, I have never regretted a purchase.

Advantages: Wonderful washing vacuum cleaner. Large tank for both clean and dirty water. Easy and quick to clean.

Disadvantages: Inconvenience of storing the cord. The sprinkler trigger kept falling out of the socket until I glued it tight. Noisy enough.

Comment: We bought a vacuum cleaner three months ago and are very happy. They bought it exclusively for washing the floor (laminate), I have a big house (about 250 sq.m.) and my wife got tired of running around it with a bucket, so they were automated. Washes great, the laminate after the vacuum cleaner is almost dry, much drier than after the mop, so the stories about the fact that after the washing vacuum cleaner there are puddles are worthless. House cleaning speed has increased three to four times by saving time for pre-cleaning with a dry vacuum cleaner, wringing out a rag / mop and replacing used water in a bucket. The loading of clean water is 10 liters, which, with proper skill, allows you to wash about 100 sq. M., After the first loading it is not necessary to drain the dirty water - the stock of the mining tank is enough for the second loading with ease. The vacuum cleaner itself is disassembled and washed after cleaning quickly, it takes me no more than five minutes.I haven't used dry cleaning with this vacuum cleaner, so I can't say anything about the aquafilter.

Advantages: Very clean. Some pluses

Disadvantages: Sometimes there is a whistle. You can get rid of it by placing the parts correctly.

Comment: This is a dream vacuum cleaner! I advise. I read many reviews about vacuum cleaners with aquafilters, many negative ones. I tried it with paper bags, fabric bags, cyclones ... This one is the best! Disassembled and assembled easily. It washes in 1-1.5 minutes - I measured it on purpose :) The suction power is much greater than the same power for other types of vacuum cleaners. You can also drop a drop of aromatic oil - a pleasant smell after cleaning :) It can hum a lot with a whistle - all due to the fact that the parts do not fit snugly, you need to install them correctly. The fabric filter may also be dirty - you need to rinse it. In general, it can be solved. If you have where to put it, buy it :) PS the description says a cyclone filter - this is not correct. This vacuum cleaner has an aquafilter.

Advantages: Powerful enough, quiet relatively Philips fc9071. After it, there is less water on linoleum than from a mop, it can be easily and quickly disassembled and washed for 2-3 minutes. Large container for clean and dirty water. A tank of clean water is enough for me for 60 square meters. m. of smooth linoleum and 30 sq. m. of non-smooth linoleum, because it clogs up more and takes longer to clean.

Disadvantages: The pipe is non-telescopic and apparently non-separable (it is impossible to disassemble), because it is very long in tight places, not very comfortable. Poorly collects water under the bed, so if the bristles from the hard surface washer could be removed and the rubber band left, then I would have collected it. I just don't spray a lot under the beds. Expensive for such a simple design, so I took a used one for 5 thousand on 16.12.2014. in a state of almost new. There is no soft start, but on the Philips 9071 (indicated in the merits) there is and it costs half the price. I decided to add a review after 9 months of use. I disassembled the pipe, it is collapsible. Three months later, the fastening of the pipe to the vacuum cleaner broke, now it lies nearby. followed by the breakdown of the water supply lever, it is very flimsy, it became very inconvenient to wash and I began to do it less often. These are all flowers. Just the other day we flooded ourselves and dirty water spilled out of the batteries, but the pump in the pump broke down and we had to pick up all the dirt with our hands. So the story ended. 9 months. By the way, the pump costs 4200 rubles.

Comment: I only took it for wet daily cleaning in the living area of ​​my private house. I believe he washes the floor faster than a simple vacuum cleaner and mop. It clogs up in the same way as a simple vacuum cleaner and a mop, you clean them in the same way and then wash them of debris and hair. Flushing this thomas with me is as follows: I disconnect the hose and tube and separate the upper part from the tanks. I pour the cisterns down the toilet, rinse them, and back down the toilet. I remove the nozzle and remove the stubble from it. I take a bunch of hair out of the nozzle and rinse it with a stream of water. I scrape the hair off the bristles with a fine comb and rinse with water. I pour water into one end of the hose, pour it back and forth, and pour it out at the other end. All. No more than five minutes. If you take it for an apartment, then at least 80 sq. m. If a woman can normally understand household appliances, then she will cope with this vacuum cleaner. There is nothing complicated about it.

Advantages: - Sufficient suction power, for carpets dry first, then wet cleaning - Moderate energy consumption, max 1400 Watt - Wet and dry cleaning. Dry cleaning with the ability to suck in water and almost any dirt through an aquafilter - High quality cleaning with careful attention and correct use of the vacuum cleaner solves almost all household tasks and can be partially used for professional cleaning services. - Convenient and eye-pleasing design, color.Good quality of the body material and attachments - No need to constantly buy consumables: bags, filters - There is a feeling of freshness after cleaning (without any Hepa filter!), There are no smells of dust and the vacuum cleaner itself after long-term operation - With a vacuum cleaner, you can clean water pipes from weak blockages

Disadvantages: - No suction power regulator - Bulky dimensions, substantial size of the vacuum cleaner - No telescopic hose, cord winding, handle control and many usual benefits - Difficult and inconvenient use of the vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning - Not always convenient for frequent cleaning, as well as when cleaning small volumes and squares. - Requires constant monitoring of the cleanliness of the vacuum cleaner, it is necessary to rinse and dry after each use - If you find fault: Circular blowing during the operation of the vacuum cleaner, that is, you cannot direct the blowing in the right direction - If you find fault: When cleaning, it is advisable to open the windows, they can fog up - Big benefit from purchase of this device if you buy it to several neighbors, for example, who live on the same floor and store it in a common, lockable closet.

Comment: This device can be called a vacuum cleaner very conditionally. It is more like a semi-automatic cleaning unit with wide possibilities and large dimensions. However, it is worth remembering that this may not be suitable for everyone. For example, for light, minute cleaning, this model will hardly be convenient for you, on the other hand, the versatility of the device and the implementation of many functions at a high level. It is a pity that there is no suction power regulator, perhaps this saves the life of the vacuum cleaner longer, but you can get used to it. Perfect for active people in good physical shape, who live in a country house, a large apartment or keep their shop or small shop clean, while having additional friends - pets. If you can master this device, then most likely it will be very difficult to find something better. The design of this vacuum cleaner was made by a German genius 60 years ago, however, I would not be surprised if the demand for this device will be relevant in the 22nd century. As for the fine filtration of the Hepa filter, I think that this is basically a compromise. Surprisingly close, but I come to the conclusion that there is nothing better than a powerful construction vacuum cleaner with small dimensions and universal bags for wet and dry dirt. You collect dirt with one hose, a hose with blowing out of the window and there are no problems with filtration in principle, fine dust leaves with blowing, large dust in a bag and a lot of happiness from the realization that there is simply nothing better!

Advantages: The suction power is high. The air is really humidified. But the main advantage manifested itself in the Thomas service center. About this in the comments.

Disadvantages: "If you like to ride - love to carry sledges" After cleaning the room, you need to make a little effort to clean the vacuum cleaner itself, since all the dirt collects in the water at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner, and as a result, after cleaning, you need to pour out this dirty water and rinse the container.

Comment: I got this unit in a well-known store, which the Yandex market asked to remove from the review. Although there was an option to take it in other stores, it was there that it was available right on the same day. I came and took it. But when I was collecting the vacuum cleaner at home, I realized that there was no one, the most important nozzle - for wet cleaning. I called this store, they said politely that they say it was my own fault, that I did not check the package contents when I bought it, but in general I do not deny my guilt. I decided to call Thomas.I was told to send a snapshot of the serial number, receipt and available attachments. After 2 days they said that they would send the missing nozzle and that's it. The problem was solved without brakes and unnecessary expenses. This is what I understand customer focus. The true face of the company lies in its service.

This is our second washing vacuum cleaner in the family, the first one is already 7 years old and let's say in recent years it has been gathering dust more often than working - the apartment is 120 meters and the water had to be changed 3-4 times. There is no such problem with Thomas - he showed himself amazingly on a large area, a bucket of 10 liters - I wash everything in one go! At the same time, it is maneuverable and there is no difficulty in movement. And he is powerful, the apartment is ideal after him - we are actual, two children, a cat and two dogs shedding. The vacuum cleaner is also suitable for dry cleaning, but when you need to run through the apartment quickly in 15 minutes, we use a simple vacuum cleaner, it is on hand when there is no time or you need to collect the spilled something. And so, Thomas is our main assistant a couple of times a week, washing him is easy and not stressful at all, the dimensions do not bother, because you need to understand that he is a washing vacuum cleaner and he is powerful!

Advantages: - Design - Equipment - Quality

Disadvantages: - Capacity for dry cleaning is not enough

Comment: The vacuum cleaner is excellent for washing, everything pleases! But, more power could be done. It is enough for wet cleaning, but it copes with dry cleaning mediocre. It sucks well from linoleum in dry cleaning mode, but not very well from carpets.

Advantages: Huge bucket for 10 liters of cleaning solution. Huge receiving tank for dirty water. Amazing agility.

Disadvantages: When working as a washing vacuum cleaner, they are not.

Comment: I have a Thomas Twin TT, he is about 10 years old, maybe more. But after moving to a large apartment, I noticed that I run too much to replace water when cleaning the floor. I was surprised to find that there was only 2.5 liters of cleaning solution. And then I found this vacuum cleaner. 10 liters of cleaning solution, 20 liters of dirty water! Ordered. I tried it. This unit is specially designed for cleaning floors! Moreover, it was created by a real Engineer. Very simple and well thought-out design. Everything is thought out and all decisions are aimed exclusively at performing the main work. A bucket of water. There is neither add nor subtract. Whoever washed the floors in a large apartment will understand. Switch. Just choose what you want to do and switch the switch to the desired mode. No electronic speed control like the Twin TT. Why is it needed? A vacuum cleaner is needed to clean the floors and not save electricity. Why do I need a governor? When I vacuum my floor, I need to solve exactly this problem, and not think about the environment. Even if in order for me to wash the floor, all the water at the power plant needs to be drained from the Zhiguli Sea, or if a meltdown occurs at the nuclear power plant, I don't care. I don’t want to set the RPM lower, I just want to clean the floor! It is also very convenient that there is no separate button for turning on the pump, as on the Twin TT. Turn it on and work. Further. It is very convenient that by unfastening the motor unit we get a tank with dirty water separately from everything else. Draining dirty water into the toilet, rinsing this tank out of the shower is no problem. Again, in comparison with the Twin TT, where the water in the washing mode is overflowed and squirted from the container into the body, from where you have to wipe it off with a cloth. And this is an additional operation. An ingenious solution for a recess on the body of the vacuum cleaner in order to hang a coil of cable. 2 seconds to wind the wire into the coil and hook it onto this hook.

Advantages: An excellent washing vacuum cleaner. I do have a previous model 20S, but not many changes have been made to it.

Disadvantages: Of the shortcomings, the cable and the telescopic pipe are not removed automatically, bulky requires space

Comment: I have been using it for over 10 years. During this time, I changed the water supply pump, myself, the design is very simple. The vacuum cleaner washes in 1 minute. Indispensable for repairs, removes heaps of construction waste without reducing the suction power and without dust. Perfectly cleans floors, carpets, upholstered furniture, removes dog hair. A very unpretentious device, it can collect dust and pieces of concrete, collects a bucket of water from the floor in 1 minute. There was also a washing Phillips, I gave it to my friends, you can't even compare it with Thomas. Now brushes for the floor and furniture scattered from time to time, new ones cost half a new vacuum cleaner. I will take a new washing vacuum cleaner and definitely only Thomas.
