We clean floors, furniture, car interiors: TOP-5 vertical portable vacuum cleaners

The device received a folding handle, which expands the possibilities of its storage.

The Gorenje SVC 216 FR dust container is a cyclone type system that helps maintain high suction power when filling the dust container. Its capacity is 0.6 liters, which is usually enough for one cleaning in an ordinary apartment. The container is easily removed and allows you to remove accumulated debris without getting your hands dirty.

The model is equipped with a HEPA fine filter, which traps small particles of dust, pollen and other microorganisms.

Modest power figures of 125 W partially compensate for the presence of an electric turbo brush. Its shaft drives a separate motor. The nozzle is designed to collect dust, debris and pet hair from various types of surfaces. Additional convenience in the process of cleaning is designed to provide LED lighting on the brush and a two-position power regulator on the handle.

According to user reviews, the vacuum cleaner effectively copes with cleaning smooth floor coverings (laminate, tile, linoleum), but is not good enough at cleaning carpets, especially those that have a medium or long pile.

Gorenje SVC 216 FR is powered by a lithium battery, which adds to the convenience of both vertical and manual use. A full charge of the battery is enough for 60 minutes of cleaning. The charging process is carried out on a complete docking station and lasts about 6 hours.

The capabilities of the Gorenje SVC 216 FR fully correspond to the price of the device, which makes the vacuum cleaner an interesting solution for cleaning in rooms where there are no carpets with long pile or no carpets are used at all.

The representative of the VC 5 line of the German manufacturer Karcher refers to portable vacuum cleanersequipped with an extendable telescopic tube with three fixation steps. The desired height is adjustable on the handle itself, which makes it easy to switch from cleaning floors to cleaning furniture or hard-to-reach places.

Karcher VC 5 Premium received a 0.5-liter cyclone-type dust collector. It is easy to clean and eliminates the need to purchase replacement bags. The power of the vacuum cleaner is 500 W, which is considered a solid indicator for this class of devices.

The 4-position regulator located next to the handle allows you to change the suction power without being distracted from cleaning. For delicate cleaning, the first two stages are recommended, for daily dust collection - the third, and for working with carpets - the fourth. The model confidently copes with its main tasks.

The maximum noise level in operation does not exceed 77 dB, which is a pretty good indicator for upright vacuum cleaners.

Unlike the related model Karcher VC 5 , the vacuum cleaner has an extended package. In addition to the combined brush for cleaning smooth and carpeted surfaces, users are offered 3 more accessories: dust and crevice nozzles, as well as a nozzle for upholstered furniture.

Thanks to its compact size and weight of 3.2 kg, the Karcher VC 5 Premium is easy to store. This is facilitated by a magnetic lock on the brush, which stabilizes the body in a vertical position.

The vacuum cleaner works only from the mains, which makes it not so convenient in comparison with battery counterparts. At the same time, the length of the mains cable is 9 meters, which guarantees a large cleaning radius without switching between outlets. But the lack of automatic cord winding and the need to manually fix it on the case is a drawback of the model.

Karcher VC 5 Premium is one of the exemplary devices in its price category, capable of imposing competition on both classic vacuum cleaners and cordless models.

Debuted in 2018, Xiaomi's upright vacuum cleaner is made in bright colors with concise rounded shapes. The pleasant appearance of the model was also appreciated by experts: the device was awarded two prestigious design awards: the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award.

Xiaomi Roidmi F8 suggests two usage scenarios: as a handheld and upright vacuum cleaner (paired with an extension tube). The brushless motor is responsible for removing dirt, the power of which is 415 W, and the suction power reaches 115 W. The noise level in operation ranges from 75 to 83 dB.

The electric turbobrush with a separate drive and LED-backlight helps to effectively collect dirt. According to users, the vacuum cleaner effectively copes with cleaning both smooth and fleecy surfaces.

The manufacturer emphasizes the presence of a 4-level air purification system, including a HEPA-10 filter. Due to the abundance of nets and filters, the useful capacity of the cyclone dust collector is 0.4 liters, so it will have to be cleaned after each cleaning. The process of emptying the container itself is not very convenient: large debris clogs under the elements of the filtration system, and fine dust must be picked out. True, for such purposes, the kit comes with a special brush and a cutter for wool and hair.

The vacuum cleaner and additional nozzles are completed: crevice, dust and mini-turbo brush. Xiaomi Roidmi F8 also comes with a spare HEPA filter and a flexible hose for access to remote cleaning places.

The vacuum cleaner is powered by a 2.5 Ah battery. Its charge is enough for 55 minutes (in turbo mode - for 10), and it will take 2.5 hours to replenish the capacity. Instead of a docking station for the charging process and vertical storage, a circular magnetic wall mount is offered.

The power button and the turbo mode key, which increases the suction power, are located on the handle. Additionally, it is possible to connect Xiaomi Roidmi F8 to a smartphone via Bluetooth. In the Mi Home application, operating parameters are configured, information is displayed on the battery charge level, filter status, dust container filling, and additional operation statistics.

The model attracts with its design, "smart" functionality and overall high performance, comparable to the skills of Dyson vacuum cleaners - recognized leaders in the segment of vertical portable devices.

The PowerPro Aqua upright vacuum cleaner stands out from the competition with its washing system. Unlike traditional wet cleaning with liquid spraying, the model is equipped with a 200 ml water tank and two microfiber pads. The tank is attached to the Philips PowerPro Aqua FC 6408 main brush with magnets. Linings can be washed by hand or in a washing machine as they get dirty.

This system allows you to dampen any hard floor surfaces and immediately remove wet dirt from them, but is not suitable for collecting liquid or washing carpets. The declared wet cleaning area without water change is 50 m².

The Philips PowerPro Aqua FC 6408 is equipped with an easy-to-clean PowerCyclone dust container with a capacity of 0.6 liters of dirt. The absorbed air passes through a triple fine filter (HEPA), which retains more than 90% of allergens. In addition to standard operation, the model has a turbo mode, activated by moving the power level control on the handle to the Max position.

Difficult dirt is removed by the TriActive motorized turbo brush. The rotating roller helps to quickly collect dust, wool and other debris. Additionally, the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a combined brush for cleaning smooth floors and carpets.

From an upright vacuum cleaner Philips PowerPro Aqua FC 6408 quickly turns into a handheld. The removable block will allow you to remove dust on furniture shelves, clean the car interior. You can use it both without additional brushes, and together with a complete crevice nozzle.

The vacuum cleaner is powered by a lithium-ion battery. It has become more capacious in comparison with the battery, which is used on Philips PowerPro Aqua FC 6404 , so it will provide up to 60 minutes of autonomy (against 40 for the younger brother). The charging time has not changed and is 5 hours.

The vacuum cleaner is able to speed up cleaning, carrying out not only the collection of dust and dry debris, but also wet wiping the floors.

One of the most affordable Dyson upright vacuum cleaners in demand among buyers. The model in the hierarchy of a reputable British manufacturer is between the budget, but comparable in price devices of the V6 series and expensive flagship solutions like Dyson V10 Absolute Price from £300.82 up to £449.99 .

The weight of the instrument assembly is 2.3 kg, which makes any mode of use (portable or vertical) not tiring.

The Dyson V7 Motorhead is powered by a 350W motor with a maximum suction power of 100W. The vacuum cleaner reaches such indicators in turbo mode, which is activated using the power switch located on the body of the device near the handle.

The model is equipped with an electric turbo brush with a 35-watt drive and nylon bristles, designed to penetrate deep into the carpet pile and remove various contaminants. Additionally, the delivery set includes a combined nozzle for carpets and hard surfaces and a crevice nozzle for removing dust in gaps, joints, etc.

The vacuum cleaner boasts an enlarged background Dyson V6 Plus with the capacity of the Radial cyclone dust collector. It is designed for 0.56 liters and is supplemented with a washable filter that does not require replacement for the entire life of the device.

Using the Dyson V7 Motorhead wirelessly gives you a built-in battery. It will "give" up to 30 minutes of battery life (without the use of turbo mode). If you turn the power regulator to the maximum position and use an electric turbo brush, then you will have to charge the model after 6 minutes of operation. Such a short battery life is a minus of the vacuum cleaner.

Convenient charging and storage of the device is provided by an ergonomic wall docking station. On it, in addition to the vacuum cleaner itself, it is possible to place the main nozzles. At the same time, it is worth considering that the pipe is made in pink: it is not able to harmoniously fit into any interior.

All in all, the Dyson V7 Motorhead is a lightweight, comfortable and powerful enough vacuum cleaner from a trusted European brand for a reasonable price.
