The best upright wet vacuum cleaners

The vacuum cleaner is one of the best options in terms of price and quality: for a low price you get a multifunctional assistant for dry and wet cleaning. The manufacturer calls this model a 3-in-1, as it combines the capabilities of three devices: a vertical vacuum cleaner, a compact handheld vacuum cleaner and a mop. The design allows the use of the assembled device as a vertical one, as well as the detachment of the hand unit for cleaning local areas of contamination, table surfaces, upholstered furniture and the car interior.

The main attachment is an electric turbo brush with its own motor, designed for all types of surfaces, including carpets. It is complemented by LED lighting, which will help you see the smallest debris in hard-to-reach places: under the bed, sofa and other furniture. The package also includes a compact 2-in-1 nozzle - a crevice nozzle with retractable bristles for collecting dust. Conveniently, there is a storage compartment for it on the body of the vacuum cleaner, so the nozzle will not get lost and will always be at hand. But the real find is the mop attachment for wet cleaning. It is attached to the main turbo brush and thus allows you to simultaneously vacuum and wash floors. This saves a lot of time since you don't have to do it separately. The mop is equipped with a small water tank and allows you to use detergent. The package includes several spare microfiber cloths, so you don’t have to spend money on consumables at first.

The power consumption of Sencor SVC 0741 YL is 160 W, but the manufacturer does not indicate the suction power. In practice, the vacuum cleaner collects fine dust, larger debris, hair and pet hair well, and works both on smooth floor coverings and on carpets with not too high pile. However, it is significantly inferior in power to household vacuum cleaners. Therefore, we recommend using a regular mains appliance for general cleaning, and a vertical vacuum cleaner to maintain cleanliness.

There are two power modes available (standard and turbo), which are switched using buttons on the handle. The waste is collected in a dust collector with a cyclone system and a washable HEPA filter. The dust container is small, holds a maximum of 0.5 liters, but is easy to detach and clean.

Another advantage of the model is its long battery life. The vacuum cleaner works wirelessly and is powered by a built-in Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 2200 mAh. One charge lasts for 85 minutes of continuous operation at low power and 30 minutes at maximum speed. On average, this is quite enough to clean a large apartment or even a house. But charging cannot be called fast - to fully restore energy, the battery needs about 5 hours.

The Dreame brand has developed a practical vertical vacuum cleaner that does not have a large number of attachments and a removable hand unit, but does an excellent job of performing its main duties. This is a cordless cleaning device that simultaneously collects debris and cleans the floor. It is also capable of collecting spilled water and other liquids: coffee, sauces, wine, etc. A rather serious design is provided for this. The massive nozzle is equipped with a soft bristled roller onto which water flows. Thanks to a powerful motor with a suction power of 10,000 Pa, the brush makes 560 revolutions per minute, quickly and efficiently scrubbing even old, dried stains. And on the handle there are two water tanks - clean and dirty. The first holds up to 900 ml of clean water, allowing you to clean an area of up to 200 square meters (in the minimum water flow mode). And a 500 ml tank collects debris, dust, collected liquids and dirty water. The dust collector is equipped with a HEPA filter, which traps dust and other small particles, preventing them from escaping back into the air.

The vacuum cleaner can also be used for dry cleaning - just do not fill the tank with water. But it is simply not intended for carpets: the brush is designed for cleaning floors and is not capable of collecting wool, hair and other dirt. Thus, Dreame H11 Max will be a good assistant in everyday, not general cleaning: it will help you quickly clean up spilled drinks, collect garbage, wipe the floors in the kitchen, bathroom, room (if there are no carpets) and even on the balcony. In this case, you don’t even have to deal with the settings: thanks to a special sensor, the vacuum cleaner independently determines the degree of contamination and adjusts the power depending on the circumstances. The results of such cleaning are truly at the highest level: the device scrubs away dried stains and dirt, collects flour, spilled yogurt, sand, crumbs, milk and any other dirt of different textures. He is even able to remove a broken raw egg - along with the shell!

The power source is a capacious battery that provides up to 36 minutes of battery life on a single charge. This is enough to clean a small apartment. The battery charge level is shown on the color display. In addition, the display shows information about consumables and errors that have occurred, and a circular indicator using different colors indicates the operating power. The vacuum cleaner also provides voice prompts in several languages: it will tell you when it is necessary to charge the battery and empty dirty water from a full tank.

Another significant advantage of the model is its ease of maintenance. The vacuum cleaner not only washes floors and removes debris, but also takes care of its cleanliness. For this purpose, a self-cleaning function is provided: during this procedure, the device washes its brush, clearing it of dirt, dust and collected debris, and all you have to do is pour the dirty water out of the container. Everything you need for cleaning and cleaning is included in the package: docking station for charging and self-cleaning, cleaning brush (for vacuum cleaner), spare filter, detergent and accessory holder.

The device has minor disadvantages, but they still exist. Firstly, due to its design features, the vacuum cleaner is quite heavy and bulky. Secondly, the length of the brush roller is shorter than the length of the nozzle, so it does not cope well with dirt in corners and along baseboards, since it simply does not reach them. But basically this is a common problem with vertical vacuum cleaners, so this cannot be considered a serious disadvantage of a particular model.

The cordless vacuum cleaner from the Philips SpeedPro series is a 3-in-1 device. Firstly, this is an upright vacuum cleaner for cleaning the house. Secondly, the removable portable unit turns into a compact hand-held device that car owners will definitely appreciate. Thirdly, the device is intended not only for dry, but also for wet cleaning. And all this is realized thanks to the various attachments included in the package. For dry cleaning, an electric turbo brush is provided, which collects debris from the front and sides and thus cleans hard-to-reach places along the baseboards well. The turbo brush is equipped with LED lighting, which will help you see missed areas and remaining debris. The mini turbo brush tackles crumbs, dust, hair and pet hair on upholstered furniture and car seats. Moreover, both of these brushes make it easy to remove the rollers with bristles, so that it is more convenient to clean them from wound threads and hair.

For wet cleaning, there is a mop attachment with microfiber, which is attached to a combination brush (by the way, it can be used separately). A small 280 ml tank is built right into the mop, into which water is poured for washing floors. For severe stains, the manufacturer advises adding detergent to the water and using the AquaBoost mode for more thorough washing. The mop head detaches easily with the press of a button, and you can do it with your foot without bending over or getting your hands dirty. The package includes two microfiber cloths that can be washed by hand or in a washing machine. In addition, the buyer receives a crevice nozzle and a dust nozzle with bristles, which is built directly into the tube - it is always at hand for cleaning shelves, tables, ceilings, etc. The main nozzles have a hinged mount, so they are quite maneuverable. And the location of the dust collector at the top of the tube makes it possible to almost completely lay the device on the floor to vacuum under furniture. True, this is still not as convenient as a bendable tube. In general, thanks to the equipment and attachments, the model is multifunctional and is capable of cleaning almost anywhere in the house and in the local area.

The PowerBlade motor, which provides high air supply speed, is also responsible for the quality of cleaning. The power of the vacuum cleaner is quite enough to clean flat floors with different coverings, carpets, paths and furniture. Dust collector with PowerCyclone 7 technology separates air from dust and helps maintain high performance of the device. And the filtration system traps pollen and small particles, releasing purified air out. The dust container itself holds up to 400 ml, is easily removed and conveniently emptied. There are several power modes to choose from, including a turbo mode for quick cleaning and even tougher tasks.

The vacuum cleaner works without wires getting tangled under your feet thanks to the presence of a Li-Ion battery. One charge lasts for 50 minutes at minimum power or 22 minutes in turbo mode. This is not that much, considering that it takes 5 hours to fully charge, but it should be enough to clean a small apartment.

Rowenta's convenient wireless vacuum cleaner allows you to clean almost the entire house and not only with one device: floors, carpets, walls, ceilings, upholstered furniture, mattresses, pillows, tables, workplaces and car interiors. First of all, this is facilitated by the expanded equipment. The vertical vacuum cleaner is equipped with a compact removable unit for cleaning small areas, hard-to-reach places and local dirt. As a handheld vacuum cleaner, it is light in weight and has an unlimited area of application: it can be taken outside, clean up the gazebo, garage and car.

There are two main attachments that do most of the work. An electric turbo brush with its own motor and LED backlight is designed for any floor covering, including carpets: it carefully collects dust, crumbs, hair and animal fur, even in poor lighting. The AQUA nozzle is an improved analogue of a mop. But it’s even better because it washes the floors and vacuums at the same time, thus cutting the cleaning time in half. True, it is unlikely to cope with dried stains and old dirt, so periodic general cleaning using a traditional mop is still necessary. A mini turbo brush will help clean upholstery, tables, steps and bed linen. There is also a separate nozzle for upholstered furniture. For hard-to-reach places, there is a long crevice tool and two dust attachments. In addition, the package includes two microfiber mops, a flexible hose for small attachments and a pipe with a joint. If necessary, the pipe can be bent and vacuumed under furniture without bending over.

But all these attachments would be meaningless without a motor that provides up to 200 W of suction power. Simply put, the vacuum cleaner copes with tasks of any complexity, be it cleaning smooth laminate floors or paths and carpets. It will also be a good helper in a home where there are pets, as it effectively removes hair from both floors and furniture. There are 4 power modes to choose from with manual settings, including an eco mode for minimal battery consumption, and Boost for activating maximum capabilities. But the most interesting is the fifth mode - automatic. It does not require any settings from you, as it independently regulates the power depending on the type of surface: it increases it when driving on the carpet and decreases it on the floor. The display greatly simplifies control and displays information about the selected mode, battery charge level and possible errors in the operation of the device.

The collected garbage is sent to a dust collector with a cyclone system and a HEPA filter, which traps the smallest particles and dust. This is especially important for people with allergies. The dust container itself is quite spacious - its volume is 900 ml. So you won't have to stop cleaning frequently to empty it. When the dust container is filled, the vacuum cleaner does not lose its performance. Both the waste container and filters are easy to clean under water.

The equipment is powered by a capacious Li-Ion battery, one charge of which lasts up to 70 minutes of battery life (in eco mode). Of course, as power increases, this time decreases. But, in any case, one charge is enough to clean the entire apartment. The package includes a convenient wall docking station: it allows you to store the vacuum cleaner in a vertical position (so it takes up much less space) and has special stands for placing attachments.

The model comes with all the necessary equipment for a thorough cleaning of the entire house. The design is quite large and weighty, as it includes several water tanks (clean and dirty) and a massive motor block. By the way, if necessary, it is detached from the pipe and thus turns into a compact hand-held vacuum cleaner. This is very convenient when cleaning the inside of a car or workplace. The device is designed for dry and wet cleaning, but there is no separate mop attachment. Instead, the manufacturer added two replaceable rollers for the main turbo brush. The bristle roller is suitable for dry cleaning of floors, paths and carpets - it collects hair and pet hair well. A soft roller replaces it when washing floors. The 500 ml clean water tank is built directly into the turbo brush, but it can be easily removed for convenient filling. The design also provides for the presence of two more containers: a small 200 ml dust collector only for dry debris on the removable unit and a 400 ml tank for collected debris and dirty water when the vacuum cleaner is used on a vertical unit. Please note that during wet cleaning, water is not supplied automatically - it is sprayed onto the floor in front of the nozzle at the press of a button. There are pros and cons here. On the one hand, you control the amount of water yourself and can switch to dry cleaning at any time. On the other hand, you have to constantly press the button.

In addition, the model is equipped with a mini-turbo brush, which will help clean upholstery of upholstered furniture, mattresses and pet beds, and two small nozzles for hard-to-reach places: dust and crevice 2-in-1 with retractable bristles. The package also includes useful extras: a brush for cleaning the vacuum cleaner and branded detergent.

The suction power of JIMMY HW10 reaches 350 W, the suction power is 18000 Pa. These are quite high figures for vertical vacuum cleaners, so there is no doubt about the quality of cleaning. The device easily sucks in fine dust, larger debris, hair and fur, thoroughly vacuums carpets and is even capable of collecting spilled liquids. The soft roller does not scratch smooth floor coverings and does not leave streaks after wet cleaning. There are several operating modes to choose from, including Eco for longer battery life. But perhaps the most convenient is the automatic mode, which automatically regulates the power depending on the type of coverage and thereby uses the battery charge more correctly. Information about the selected mode and battery charge level is shown on the display. The vacuum cleaner also provides voice prompts and reminds you when it is necessary to charge the battery or empty the dust container.

The battery provides approximately 65 minutes of battery life. But this time is in economy mode - the higher the power, the lower this figure. Charging takes quite a long time; it takes about 5 hours to fully charge the battery. But at the same time, the battery is removable, which makes it possible to buy a spare one and use it when the first one is discharged.

The floor base, which performs several functions at once, deserves special attention. It stores not only the vacuum cleaner itself, but also additional attachments. During storage, the device is charged in parallel. But the most interesting thing is that it also self-cleans at the base. This is a special program in which the brush roll is washed and dried. It will help prevent the appearance of unpleasant odors, mildew and mold on the brush.
