Thomas TWIN XT

Advantages: Begin reading with the Comments. Design and Convenience. One of the important things, at least for us, was size. He's REALLY small! Not that, straight at all, but for the detergent it is the minimum size. Less than the previous Karcher two times. The important thing is the Aquafilter design. When my wife and I saw the Aquafilter in Twin TT, namely a structure with a bunch of small parts - partitions, tubes, and something else, we realized that we would not think about Thomas anymore. But I liked the XT model according to the description and in the end it paid off. Aquafilter is COMPLETELY REDUCED! The transition from dry to wet cleaning is quite quick - Put the nozzle, Pour water, Drain the aquafilter and put a special plug for wet cleaning. All. The plastic of the vacuum cleaner is of high quality, upholstered on the corners with rubberized bumpers. A pipe from Narazhaveika! The attachments are made with high quality. One additional, for laminate or parquet for dry cleaning. The wheels of the vacuum cleaner are very competently made, they are comfortable at the joints and sills. The vacuum cleaner goes unfolding very easily. Great convenience, Thomas has - Standing parking position. In this position, Pts is compact! In Work. I read somewhere that the suction power is about 440 watts. This is one of the largest indicators on the market. From practice - sucks decently, straight Pts good! And what is most interesting is Quiet. Applying and collecting water is all hassle-free. The floor is completely dry during wet cleaning. When collecting water near the walls, even a little baseboard washes))). It was critical for me to leave water on the floor. the house has laminate flooring. Water collects dry! In fact, the volume of 1.7 liters of solution was enough for me for 40 m of a square sink. In short, wet cleaning is actually twice as long as just vacuuming. But it is much less and more convenient than washing or wiping and vacuuming separately. The HEPA filter seems to be washable, but rarely, which is very good. Due to the short usage time, I will say that there is no contamination in the filter. The solution pipe is hidden in the Corrugated pipe. It seems like on the previous ones it was hanging separately outside.

Disadvantages: Washing the Aquafilter is NOT a drawback. This is Constructive !!! I did not understand why, but different sources say that the filter is HEPA and EPA is written on the box itself and in the instructions. The officials confirmed that HERA.In short, I don’t feel with my nose and everything is already smooth for me. The corrugated pipe, twisting, does not unwind back, as in ordinary vacuum cleaners. It is necessary to twist the corrugation together with the extension pipe and nozzle. But this is not a drawback, but a constructive model, since inside the corrugated pipe there is a tube for the solution. In short, the shortcomings were not particularly noticed, I hope they will not ... If I add anything. The bottom line. Sorry, written in flaws, tk. no more space in the Commentaries. I needed a vacuum cleaner with Aquafilter, but my wife still wanted a washing one. In general, Dyson was practically picked up, and as the last chance they decided to watch HT. HT and took))) Won in all respects, small, quiet, very powerful, compact in storage, convenient, practical, and also washes! While satisfied!

Comment: I'll make a reservation right away - I don't like to write reviews, because laziness. But in this situation, when I myself had to shovel half of the Internet and meet the scarcity and inconsistency of information, I think my experience in the form of a comment will be useful to someone. First and foremost. This type of vacuum cleaner is a vacuum cleaner with Aquafilter. It's trite, but only for those who have dealt with them before. Friends, if you have not communicated with Aquafilter before, be prepared for the corresponding difficulties. Namely, cleaning the vacuum cleaner, sometimes with handles, after EACH cleaning cycle. Also, be careful when reading the shortcomings in the reviews of vacuum cleaners with Aquafilters. A large number of grievances are brought about by this factor. Washing the Aquafilter is not a drawback, it is a technical given. If you want an Aquafilter with its advantages, get ready for the wash. Second. I myself am allergic. Not that he is sick, puny, all red and in snot, I just smell dust on my nose, especially smells from vacuum cleaners. Before that, I had Karcher with Aquafilter for six years. And it was with Aquafilter that this problem went away when cleaning the house. Note - all subsequent comparisons are made with him - with Karcher. But he was good! Karcher DS 5600 model. Third. Thomas is on everyone's lips, thanks to advertising. So, I analyzed the reviews of the Thomas lineup on the Market, and what I noticed. From the beginning of the release of the first model, there was a huge number of negative reviews, but later, with the introduction of new models, the Germans began to listen to the shortcomings and correct them. Which is generally very commendable. And most importantly, the Aquafilter in the new HT has been completely REDUCED! It is very convenient and simple. It is convenient to wash and install. For the finicky I will say that you can manage to wash the Aquafilter without touching the dirt with your hands. You pour through your throat, chat and drain. Two filters in front of HEPA foam rubber, washed in no time. The vacuum cleaner does not need to be dried, it seems that it is not necessary, it dries up and does not stink. Fourth. HT bought 3 weeks ago, for 15,100 rubles.

Advantages: Compact, very manoeuvrable, quiet

Disadvantages: I looked closely for a long time, but did not find anything significant.

Comment: Noise and power. When I turned it on for the first time, I was a little upset: is this called a powerful vacuum cleaner? It doesn't even make a lot of noise! Apparently I'm used to my old vacuum cleaner roaring like a beast. But when I saw that the carpet was rising, when you brush it over it, I calmed down. Dry cleaning. Everything is very convenient and well thought out, the vacuum cleaner does not need to be prepared for a long time before starting work. You just need to pour water into the aqua box. Then pour it out with a bunch of dirt. No additional manipulations and dances with tambourines. I try to change the water in the aquabox more often, then the foam filters and the hepa filter become less clogged. The dirt that collects in the aqubox is impressive, yes. This is how you live outside the city, you vacuum every other day, there seems to be no dust, but it turns out that everything is completely different. I'm afraid to even think how much dust is in a city apartment. Wet cleaning.The first time, of course, I had to tinker and look at the instructions all the time (it was very decently done, everything is clear). Now I collect for wet cleaning very quickly. Laminate and tile washes well, there are no streaks, though I am lazy to vacuum the floors every day, so thorough cleaning once a week. The rest of the time the mop is the best friend of the mother of two young children :) A carpet made of pure wool (with a pile of about 1 cm) dried after washing in a couple of hours. And shone with bright colors. It is possible that synthetic surfaces will dry faster. Didn't clean the upholstered furniture. Yes - hoses, filters after wet cleaning must be washed and dried, you can't get away from this. But here I am philosophical about it - either to breathe dust or clean air. Maneuverability and compactness. For me, this is too nimble, you just pull it, and he has already rolled further than was required. Over time, I got used to not pulling too hard. They are much smaller than their counterparts - washing vacuum cleaners, this is especially noticeable on the store shelf when there are such units with impressive dimensions around. I have been using it since October, nothing broke, nothing fell off, everything works. Decent vacuum cleaner.

Advantages: the quality of wet cleaning cannot be compared with cleaning with a rag not so large size optimal number of nozzles vertical parking hose rotating 360 gr no dust exhaust easy washable aquafilter 8 meters cord

Disadvantages: The price of dry cleaning takes longer to do due to the fact that you need to wash the filter constantly slips out the handle for supplying water a small cover for nozzles, everything does not fit, unlike the usual light vacuum cleaners, it is not agile to look for a place to dry the parts (he naturally will not give me a small child they dry calmly) the inability to do wet cleaning under the furniture in some places it seems flimsy plastic, you try to be more gentle with it))

Comment: This purchase does not save time, but the quality of cleaning is simply pleasing. it takes in all the dirt and does not distribute it with an imperceptible thin layer. after wet cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, it remains clean for a long time, you just can't wash it with your hands (only if you wash the apartment 3 times) .. experience has shown that wet cleaning takes the same time like cleaning with a vacuum cleaner + washing the floor with a rag. after wet cleaning, you need to wash all parts in contact with water, including the hose, telescopic pipe, nozzle, and not just the aquafilter as written in the instructions. if this is not done, everything starts to stink, but it is not so difficult, for me the whole washing takes a maximum of 10 minutes. when wet cleaning furniture, you need to soak the stains in advance, it dries for about an hour. the furniture becomes fresh. I can’t say anything about carpets. We have laminate and tile everywhere, it copes especially well with tiles. about dry cleaning, the same as with a conventional vacuum cleaner, sucks well, there is no return dusty exhaust. does not stink when working, as some write. makes a little louder noise than a regular dust suction. Of course there are no ideal things. this device has its drawbacks, but I definitely do not want to wash the floors with a bucket and a rag again. The purchase is expensive, and you need to think carefully whether you are ready to put up with its drawbacks for this price.

Advantages: washes perfectly, not heavy, assembly / disassembly does not cause any difficulties, as well as washing

Disadvantages: as already mentioned - sometimes the cord itself unwinds, you need a little more storage space

Comment: before buying, we read reviews actively, studied everything and decided to buy this vacuum cleaner. long wanted something washing and cleaning, tk. we live in the city center, there is a lot of dust, and we have a small child. This smallest child (boy, 3 years old) is actively interested in absolutely all equipment, therefore, he SELF-CONTAINS this vacuum cleaner, pours water into all containers, and independently and WITHOUT PROBLEMS carries it around the apartment.And there is nothing to say about me - an ordinary girl, not an athlete - I use a vacuum cleaner and until something pumped up my muscles, as someone here already wrote about such an opportunity. Therefore, to all those who write that the vacuum cleaner is heavy and it is difficult / difficult / terrible / difficult / inconvenient to clean / collect / fill it I DO NOT BELIEVE. If our child can cope, then adult uncle-aunts will cope easily and with a bang. all who are looking for excuses for themselves are just lazy people who do not like order and cleanliness in the house. the vacuum cleaner is assembled in 5 minutes, it is a LITTLE HEAVIER than conventional vacuum cleaners, it is easy and convenient to roll along. they also write that it is not suitable for daily cleaning - again, a matter of laziness: is it really easier for you to vacuum with one vacuum cleaner, dust / dust off with a cloth, and mop the floors ??? This vacuum cleaner also wipes the dust (you need to buy a brush or take it from an old vacuum cleaner), and it will vacuum and wash the floors. washed it and the apartment shines. If you are looking for a vacuum cleaner that will do everything on its own without your efforts - go to a recruiting agency and hire a servant - it will be great to clean without you. As for storage - yes, you need to allocate a place, you need to dry it somewhere. but it's worth it. Regarding the stink, they also actively write that it stinks, etc. of course, it will stink if left with water for a day, an enclosed space and water give excellent unpleasant odors and are strong enough. Don't be lazy - wash right away. and there will be no stench.

Advantages: in comments

Disadvantages: Power regulation on the body, small container for the cleaning solution.

Comment: I was in Germany and happened to see how the Germans produce products. Compared to our factories, this is the earth and the sky. For this, things of German production are my priority. The choice fell on this model, chose a new vacuum cleaner since November, read reviews, asked the price. There are not so many reviews about this model, but all that is positive. What, in fact, was led. In addition to reviews about the vacuum cleaner itself, reviews about the improved aqua-box aquafilter attracted attention. Perhaps I'll start my review with him. 1. The aquabox is designed in a completely different way, it is very easy to wash it, and most importantly quickly. This is an undeniable advance in the field of vacuum cleaning. I can't say anything about other filters, ordinary filters are easy to clean. The score is excellent. 2. The quality of cleaning. Thomas is very powerful, pulls out all the dust with a bang. During wet cleaning, you have to repeatedly add additional to the container for the detergent solution. liquid. It would be better to slightly increase the dimensions of the vacuum cleaner and make this capacity a little larger. The manufacturer failed to kill two birds with one stone ... But there are no complaints about the quality, it removes very cleanly, even when dry. The score is excellent. 3. Dimensions, mounts, build quality. The dimensions are not large due to the removal of the storage compartment from the case. For the cleaner, this vacuum cleaner is compact and powerful. I think the Germans have thought of the fasteners and they should not break, despite their material. The assembled vacuum cleaner is also good, the front wheels are able to overcome obstacles in the form of a wire, bumps, etc. The score is excellent. 4. Convenience of operation. As noted above, the small container for the detergent solution and the power adjustment are made on the body. With this power, this adjustment is often needed when the carpet is replaced by another surface (linoleum for example). On the full these surfaces you cannot pass, you have to bend over, switch. Otherwise, everything is fine, but my overall rating is good. Verdict: This is a breakthrough in the field of washing vacuum cleaners, great model, 2000 characters are out

Advantages: Power, cleaning quality, cleaning speed.

Disadvantages: Is that slightly clumsy in a cramped room, but this is more likely a lack of living conditions, not for every wallet is expensive.

Comment: For about a month I climbed the forums, including here, read reviews and tried on which vacuum cleaner to take. I have always trusted German quality, I have never failed. At home there is a German aquarium, a German meat grinder, a German washing machine. They work perfectly, so as not to jinx it, spit. Okay, I didn’t listen to those negative reviews, in which they wrote that it was well sooo heavy, extremely clumsy, you often have to add water when wet cleaning floors, the difficulty of washing parts. I bought it all the same and after using it I want to say, what kind of nonsense ?! It is not heavy, you don’t carry it on your shoulder, it doesn’t skate badly on casters! Clumsy, maybe somewhere, yes, but find me a vacuum cleaner that would go around furniture like a high-speed car on a rally ??? Regarding water, it's generally funny, I cleaned a standard bedroom, didn't know where to put the water, the floor was clean, but the water remained. Still enough for the corridor. Maybe I didn't understand the author and she hoped to wash the whole apartment in one go? Well, excuse me, even with a rag when you wash, you change the water after cleaning each room. As a result, I will say, I am very pleased with the vacuum cleaner! Powerful Thomas, cleaned the apartment in 2 hours, when earlier it took half a day (there is a lot of cat-hair at home). Flushing the vacuum cleaner takes a maximum of 20 minutes, no more. It is even interesting to wash it, no difficulties. And finally, reading the reviews of very picky authors, I want to write, take a rag and a bucket of water and remember what it feels like!

Advantages: Based on what bloggers write and say on YouTub 1. Collecting, disassembling and washing - easy !!! It is checked, while the entire Aqua-box is collapsible, even the plastic edging inside is removed, otherwise many show a video where dirt is clogged under it ... removed, washed and set to dry - 10 minutes maximum! It dries longer at times ...) 2. Once at Gorbushka they said that washing vacuum cleaners are bullshit, and you need to take a rechargeable Dyson. I considered both Dysons and Chinysons as Pappiu and FC01 ... But I bought Thomas ... I removed the mattress from the bed, on which Pepsi had been spilled twice, and it had brown spots ... Note - WAS! I spent 30 minutes, but by 80%, without rubbing or rubbing anything, I removed the stains. That's it, guys, after this I no longer need pluses and stories about the fact that Dyson's compactness can surpass the quality of Thomas's cleaning. 3. Power ... It's a beast! I have been using Dyson with a turbo brush for 3 years ... but if you compare them, Dyson smokes on the sidelines. I do the cleaning in Eco mode, I set the minimum to vacuum the all-metal ACUS laptop, I'm really afraid for the buttons. 4. It is really easy to move around the apartment with it ... without any effort it turns to the sides, the front wheels are praised for a reason. 5. Did dry cleaning of the down jacket, the down jacket smells fresh, aqua box with gray water. After 4 hours I got dressed and went to the winter evening street! 6. By the way, the stains on the tiles that they write. I have laminate and tiles in my bathroom and toilet, no streaks. If there is dirt, then sprinkle more cleaning agent and rub it. besides the rubber runner there is a brush on the nozzle. The brush removes dirt, the gum, according to the principle of cleaning glass, collects liquid and the vacuum cleaner sucks everything in. I really have no idea what the surface is, so that stains remain if you DO NOT pass quickly and press the nozzle properly against the floor.

Disadvantages: From the little things that could make it perfect! 1. Possibility of vertical lifting. Now it is impossible, the possibility of pouring water from the Aqua-box 2. The need for flushing. You can rinse the hose after once or twice, both buckets under water and the cleaning agent always, well, when we fully clean up ... And so, they turned on, poured water into the Aqua-box, vacuumed, washed the Aqua-box (filters are not necessary, they clean almost always) and put it to dry, removed the vacuum cleaner, it's simple. But there is room for optimization! 3. Noisy, that is, that is ... BUT, for such power and suction power, alas, is expected.A new proposal, you need to make Shumka and a muffler! ))

Comment: I chose a vacuum cleaner for a long time, I wanted to give up cords and bulky structures, I watched video blogs, this is a real topic, well, videos where all sorts of liquid is poured onto carpets, and then cleaned with this vacuum cleaner to a shine, I was blown away. And I do not regret at all that I took this particular vacuum cleaner with a washing function! Guys, this is not only the dream of the hostess, it is also a bachelor's friend ...))) And on Aliexpress there are nozzles and an adapter 32-35mm!

Advantages: Maneuverability, compactness, good power, long cord.

Disadvantages: Small container for cleaning solution.

Comment: Lightweight, small, maneuverable - cleaning is now a pleasure, and this despite the fact that I used to vacuum from under a stick. The power is great: the palace will suck it in. In view of this and due to the presence of an aquafilter, the quality of cleaning is excellent, after cleaning the house smells fresh, and not a garbage bag, like after an old vacuum cleaner. Cleaning the vacuum cleaner is quick and easy, and takes very little time. In the kit, there are very good and, most importantly, nozzles. Our cat is long-haired, white, and the carpet is dark. After cleaning, the carpet takes on its natural color for another 3-4 days, until the cat rages. Strange, but the previous vacuum cleaner did not take animal hair so well.

Advantages: Continuous suction power + 4 steps of suction power. Compact (in comparison with analogs). Easy cleaning. Low noise level. Easy to disassemble-wash-assemble.

Disadvantages: Instead of a parquet brush, a turbo brush would be more useful. Liquid attachment of the tank and lid for the cleaning solution (not scary)

Comment: I have been using this device for 5 months. I bought it for 15,500 (February 2013). After the Samsung with a cyclone-song !!! Cyclones also need to be constantly washed-clean-pick-dry with their multi-stage filtration system. With Thomas, if you vacuum dry, just rinse the aqua box and squeeze out the foam rubber (blue on top) and that's it. 2 minutes of work. And so you can repeat at least all day. During the day, at the request of a good friend, I cleaned it dry + then washed it with chemistry + washed it with water about 200 square meters of the cottage. The result stunned him. It took about 4 hours. The aquabox was washed more than 20 times. A few days later he bought himself a Westphalia-with a turbo brush (which was badly lacking). After the first run, nothing smelled, did not flow, did not fall off. As a result, my apartment is cleaned dry + wet cleaning + I bought a soft brush for blinds and curtains + a brush for dust from furniture and cabinets. The house is clean. The wife is resting. It's not difficult for me to spend 2 hours on the weekend cleaning the entire 50 m2 apartment to shine. Sometimes I collect dust from furniture and tables in the middle of the week, depending on my mood. 15 minutes time - cleanliness guaranteed. In general, the vacuum cleaner is super! Be sure to buy a turbo brush (if there are animals), soft brushes for furniture and curtains. The wife is happy, so am I. Remark-laminate can be washed without problems.

Advantages: powerful, the possibility of dry and wet cleaning, there are nozzles for different types of cleaning, maneuverable, adequate prices for consumables (filters, products)

Disadvantages: dimensional, heavy.

Comment: I have been using this vacuum cleaner for over two years now. Oooooooo happy. His husband bought him instead of the old one with a bag. For the sake of experiment, they "washed" a woolen carpet with it. At the sight of the result, my initial skepticism and irritation about the money spent disappeared immediately. The paints became brighter and a ugly gray slurry was poured out of the dirty water box.This despite the fact that the carpet was vacuumed every other day. Over time, I got so lazy that the floors are now only vacuum cleaned. Saves time and effort for other household chores. After cleaning with Thomas, the air becomes noticeably cleaner and more humid. Washes no worse than a rag by hand. The only "but" they cannot wash the corners, under the cabinets or some nooks in the apartment, so this is a rag, and the open surfaces are easy and clean, without streaks. Laminate flooring perfectly cleans (ours is moisture-resistant, so I can't say how it will behave in the usual way) tiled floors in the bathroom and toilet. After a bag vacuum cleaner, it was unusual to wash the box, dry the filters - then I got used to it, got used to it. After two years of very intensive use, I changed the filters. The prices for consumables for him are quite adequate: a set of filters and a liter bottle of cleaning agent cost 1000 rubles. Ordered in the online store, they brought it the next day. Of course, it makes noise, not like a tractor, but it's a vacuum cleaner. Too "gentle in the ear" people, he certainly will not suit. Minuses. It is heavy, especially with a dressing for cleaning floors and carpets, despite the fact that I am quite strong. Dimensional - you can't put it in a closet and won't fit into every pantry. I immediately had to determine the place where to store the box, the container for water, used and washed nozzles for cleaning, because You cannot put them back in the vacuum cleaner and you cannot close the lid (a musty smell appears), it is better to store them outside the body of the vacuum cleaner. Well, that's probably all. In conclusion, I would like to say that all the listed pluses more than cover all the indicated minuses. :) I did not regret the purchase for a minute.
