The nuances of choosing a washing model of a vacuum cleaner
Wet vacuum cleaners from reputable manufacturers with a good reputation are gaining popularity. It is not surprising, because such a technique can greatly simplify the process of restoring the ideal order - it cleans pillows, blankets, blankets, removes old stains from wine and Coca-Cola.
He also collects dog hair from the soft upholstery of the sofa, not forgetting to look into the joints and get the wool from there. It collects allergens from the air, traps even microscopic dust elements inside the dust bag, drawn in together with garbage.
The washing vacuum cleaner from the Thomas TWIN series is one of such universal assistants. Numerous owners consider it a profitable acquisition. Moreover, the price tag does not play a decisive role here.
When choosing a washing model, it is important to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of the operation of such vacuum cleaners in advance so that after purchase you do not experience disappointment from the need to care for it after each use
The following characteristics affect the choice of a vacuum cleaner with the wet cleaning function:
- case material;
- volume of tanks for clean and dirty water;
- set of nozzles;
- type of management;
- suction power;
- aquafilter design;
- change frequency of additional filters;
- the length of the power cord.
Material. As for the case material, all models from the Thomas TWIN series are made of high-quality shockproof plastic and have a soft bumper belt to protect against collisions.
Equipped with a convenient carrying handle and maneuverable wheels - although in view of the weight of a vacuum cleaner with filled containers it will be easier not to carry it, but to transport it from one room to another.
All washing models are equipped with a telescopic pipe made of stainless steel.
Tank volume. When choosing the volume of tanks for clean and wastewater, please note that almost all models of the Twin line have 2.4 liters and 4 liters, respectively. Therefore, when cleaning the overall rooms, you need to add clean water and remove dirty water more than once.
Nozzles. Components should not be a decisive factor in choosing the best model - the Thomas brand has standardized attachments - it’s not difficult to buy the right one. It is important to compare its value with the price tag of the model in which such a brush is available.
Often the rich assortment of nozzles that comes with the vacuum cleaner is not used by the owners. Moreover, some of them complain that all these brushes and scrapers only in vain take their place in a modest apartment
Control. As for management, the electronic option is not only convenient, but also not cheap. Budget models are equipped with a damper on the suction pipe. But more expensive vacuum cleaners have smooth power control, remember the last settings, the execution of the owner.
Power. An important role is played by the suction force, with which the device draws air together with particles of dust, dirt and other debris. Often this parameter is directly dependent on the power of the engine.
According to reviews, the owner of a model with a power of 325 W collects wool well and simply perfectly washed the long-naped carpet.
Aquafilter. The Thomas Twin washing range uses a water filtration system. But the design of the aquafilter is different - it is advisable to consider all the components in detail before buying, in order to understand whether it will be difficult for you to disassemble it for washing. And after drying, reassemble.
The easiest to maintain is considered a more advanced aqua-box filtration system - a container with a lid filled with 1 liter of water. Garbage accumulates in it, and the smallest particles of dust dissolve in water or are retained by a fine filter, without leaving the limits of technology
Filters. All washing models of the Twin series use reusable filters. But they all have their own resource of work. Recommendations for the frequency of their change are indicated by the manufacturer in the instructions. It is important to change them in a timely manner so that the vacuum cleaner can work at full strength.
Cord length. For most models, this parameter is within 6-9 meters. For a small apartment, 6 is enough, but for a two-story cottage, 9 will not be enough. Therefore, when choosing the length of the cord, you should focus on the real conditions in which the vacuum cleaner will have to work.
If you immediately determine the desired characteristics and allocate the amount to buy, then choosing the optimal vacuum cleaner will be easy. And we will help you by presenting the most popular washing models.

Almost all models of the Twin series are equipped with the following modes:
- water-based fluid collection;

- dry type of cleaning;
- wet cleaning of various types of surfaces.
Depending on the selected mode and model of the vacuum cleaner, the process of preparing for cleaning will also differ.

When activating the fluid collection function, you should be extremely careful. After all, it is extremely important that the liquid is water-based - otherwise, components can be damaged. Gasoline, oil mixtures, acetone compounds and others cannot be collected with vacuum cleaners of this series
In preparation for collecting the liquid, it is imperative to insert a dirty water tank, a splash guard, a special wet filter, and a spray nozzle for cleaning carpets.
If you have to clean the hard floor, you will additionally need an adapter for smooth surfaces such as tiles, laminate and other things.
Vacuum cleaners from Thomas in liquid collection mode can eliminate the flood caused by problems with plumbing. Many models provide splash protection.
Having completed the collection of liquid mud, milk spilled from the bursting bag, or other troubles in liquid form, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse all the components and leave them unassembled until completely dry. And only completely dried accessories can be assembled.
