Why do I need a polomoyechny car and which one to choose

Washing floors in a private house or in an ordinary apartment, but with two or three young children, and especially with the birth of the youngest crumbs, becomes a real punishment. Children need cleanliness and parental attention. When to be in time? The compact household scrubber machine becomes a real salvation. It is no exaggeration to clean 60-100 square meters. m in 1 hour.

Device and differences

Scrubber driers are an indispensable attribute of shopping centers, they have all been seen repeatedly. Today, these devices have begun to produce for the home, they are more compact, less productive and, importantly, are much cheaper.

How the car is arranged and works

Scrubber aggregate of any model consists of the following units:

• electric motor,
• vacuum pump
• two tanks: for clean and dirty water,
• spirit of hoses for water distribution and for suction,
• brushes (disk or cylindrical),
• a scraper that collects moisture and directs it into the desired hose.

In home models, brushes are usually made cylindrical. In fact, this is a special roller that replaces a rag on a mop.

The operating procedure of the unit resembles a washing vacuum cleaner:

1. In the tank of pure water, water and a cleaning agent for floor cleaning machines are poured.
2. From here, the solution enters the brushes, and they distribute it on the floor.
3. Rollers wipe away dirt
4. The scraper does not allow moisture to flow, dirty water is captured from it again with a roller and goes up.
5. The dirty water hose picks up the waste solution from the roller and sends it to the appropriate tank.

Advantages, differences and disadvantages

The advantages of such a device are undeniable:

• more compact and mobile than large ones for cleaning shopping centers and machine manufactures;
• launders even complex stains, including jam and yesterday’s trace of borsch, due to the fact that the roller is pressed to the floor evenly and harder than a rag of an ordinary mop;
• for the same reason, one pass is enough, and you do not need to rub or apply effort;
• you don’t have to constantly change buckets with water, because when cleaning twice a week, one tank of clean water is enough for the whole apartment or even the house;
• performs all operations automatically - there is no need to switch the spray and suction modes (unlike washing vacuum cleaners);
• suitable for all types of floor;
• the surface dries in 2 minutes, without puddles, stains, etc.

As a result, the car incredibly saves time and energy, which was appreciated by the housewives living in a private house, and mothers with many children.

Disadvantages of the units were also found:

• the device has a relatively large weight - it is heavier than a conventional vertical vacuum cleaner;
• it is not suitable for cleaning carpets, washing windows or flowers - it is better to entrust it to a steam, washing vacuum cleaner or steam cleaner;
• relatively expensive: from 17 to 70 thousand rubles. (as of 2019).

Differences from similar devices

The floor polisher is designed for polishing, and the floor polisher is used for wet cleaning.

A washing vacuum cleaner is a more versatile, but also more bulky unit. In contrast, a floor-washing machine copes with wet cleaning faster and better, more maneuverable and lightweight, but, alas, it works only on smooth and horizontal surfaces.

An electric broom is a rather weak apparatus for quick cleaning, say, after a children's breakfast with cookies. In contrast, the scrubber is designed for a large volume of cleaning and works with water.

Types and prices

The price depends on the type of scrubber, and the difference will be very noticeable. The main factor is the way you connect to electricity.

Types of nutrition:

• cheaper network, “Körcher” has such in the range of 20 thousand rubles;
• much more expensive rechargeable batteries (a charger is attached to them, one charge is enough for 1 cleaning), at the same “Körcher” the price immediately jumps to at least 30 thousand rubles.

By the type of brushes:

• with disk brushes - this is a more expensive and cumbersome option, but they are better cleaned, last longer, are less polluted;
• with a cylindrical turbo brush - this is a compromise option, it’s not cheap;
• microfiber with rollers is the simplest and most inexpensive type of brushes, but for an apartment, usually they are more than enough.

For reference
For the house, only manual scrubber driers are used, but in principle they still come with a place for the driver-operator - these are called riders.

Rating

Introducing the TOP-5 floor cleaning machines, according to AiF:

1. Körcher (Kärcher, Germany).
2. Tennant (Tennant, USA).
3. Nilfisk (Nilfisk, Denmark).
4. Komak (Comac, Italy).
5. Teskey (Taski, USA).

Quite successfully compete with the listed brands Starmix, Cleanfix, Ghibli, Lavon, Delvir.

Based on the geographical principle, German firms are considered the best, the second place is taken by the American, and the third - from the Italian. They began to make good equipment in China (based on European technologies), for example, cars from Viper. They are noticeably cheaper, but in quality or durability are also noticeably inferior to the original devices.

Polomoyechny cars and mass brands let out, for example, "Philips". However, purityis.decorexpro.com/en/ magazine recommends giving preference to more expensive but reliable brands.

For information
In the same type of models in the description sometimes performance differs 10 times (100 versus 1000, for example). This indicator is calculated from the area that can be washed with a single tank refueling. As cleaning specialists note, German manufacturers give a more adequate figure, they take into account that it is impossible to run around with the device, and even around the apartment with lots of furniture.

What to look for

In addition to the price, brand and country of manufacture / assembly, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of a particular model. The third important factor is the ability to replace broken or spent components with new ones, the availability and convenience of buying branded (if available) detergent.

Since it will take a lot of letters and time to conduct a review of all brands and machines, we will analyze one of the most popular variations - the Körcher BR 4.300.

Price - almost 70 thousand on a company website.

A country - Germany, and the brand is the undisputed leader in cleaning technology for more than a year. Professionals prefer this particular brand.

Type of food - network, cable length 10 m (a two-room apartment will be cleaned with 1-2 switching plugs).

Weight - 12 kg. It is not suitable for daily cleaning, but there is a vacuum cleaner for this, and it is enough to wash the floors 1-2 times a week, especially wooden ones. The stairs will be difficult to lift.

Tank volume - 4 l. And this is an absolute advantage. In lighter and cheaper models, the volume is calculated in milliliters. One refueling BR 4.300 is enough for the whole private house, also on the veranda.

Brush type - turbo. The rotation speed is 1450 rpm. And this is a very good indicator, with this you can professionally clean, say, in a small cafe. For simpler options, the speed is within 500.

Power consumption - 820 watts. This is quite a lot, but an ordinary electric kettle eats up to 2000 watts per boiling.

The need for a treatment base and charging - not. This is a plus: it means that the roller is easy to clean without special tools, and there is no need to think about where to place this base.

Patency - relatively high thanks to a flat working head and a movable unit. At least wherever a modern, high-quality vacuum cleaner comes out, the BR.4300 will also cope with cleaning.

Width of roller and suction nozzle - the same, 300 mm. This, firstly, means that in one pass a strip 30 cm wide will be cleaned.Secondly, that along the walls there will not be a “dry” strip (it is still recommended not to be carried out sideways, but with the front edge of the brush).

Proprietary cleaning agent is, is produced in both small and large volumes, it will not be available in the nearest household goods, but it does exist on the most popular Internet sites (for example, “All Tools” or “VstroikaSolo”). So, at least for Moscow and the nearest Moscow region, the tool is available.

Accessories company also provides - they go as a separate section, and the choice is wide enough. According to this indicator, the device also receives a "plus".

Total, of the minuses - weight and price. Such a unit is an ideal solution for the general cleaning of a private house with hard floors of various types (from parquet to granite). He gently cleans wood flooring and effectively launders porcelain stoneware and other rough surfaces.

For an ordinary apartment, this is perhaps an inappropriate purchase, and you should pay attention to the more portable model, FC 5. With moderate pollution, and even more so after a vacuum cleaner, its small tanks (400 and 200 ml) are enough for 60 square meters. m is quite enough.

Even if you have to replace water once, cleaning will still be 2-3 times faster than with a mop. Microfiber rollers may not be so good in terms of garbage collection, they can easily clog and are not so durable, but they are inexpensive and available. The price of FC 5 with a cable is about 17 thousand (which sounds very nice, they ate compared with 70).

We summarize. The scrubber drier is really a salvation for private houses and apartments, where children are given the scope of life and creativity or they are still too small to rub a stain behind them, sweep the crumbs, etc. However, if the house is carpeted, covered with carpet, then the scrubber drier will not work, it can only cope with smooth floors.

The device is not so expensive as to seem an unrealistic purchase, but not cheap either. Therefore, you need to carefully evaluate the brand, get acquainted with the reviews, study the characteristics - approach the purchase as responsibly as possible. After studying the forums, the author of the resource purityis.decorexpro.com/en/ noted that not a single buyer regretted the cost of choosing a polomoechny device of the middle or high price segment.
