r/askSingaporeI am convinced after a demo at my house on a vacuum cleaner Germany Dolphin, but the price is way too expensive. Any recommendations for good vacuum cleaner using water filtration ?

+2 here. Used it for 5 years now and still going strong. I got the ugly yellow one. The replacement bag is also cheap and you can get off brand replacement bags from lazada/taobao. I replaced the original wheels with rollerblade wheels early on and it still rolls smooth. I can't remember the price but it was like $200-300 IIRC

r/HomeImprovementSmall apartment + pet hair, is a cordless vacuum actually worth it or should I stick to a regular one?
5 months ago

The cordless vac is great for small messes but it's not great for any level of deep cleaning. I use it daily more like a carpet compatible broom than a vacuum. Notice I said I use it daily, that's where it comes in handy, because it's easy to grab and go. If you have strictly hard floors it would be a good replacement. With carpet, no way will it replace a proper vac, but it might be a nice addition for daily maintenance. As for brands. I had a Dyson v11 and I would NEVER buy it again. It was complete crap and lasted just over a year before it stopped running consistently, and that's after I had to make a new wheel mount for the beater bar because the wheels are held on with like 1mm of plastic. For reference I design and 3d print a lot of things and I would NEVER design a product with the shit support that wheel was held on with. I have had pretty good luck with the Karcher that replaced it but the battery life is.... ok. I tend to find it dead a lot more than I would like when I go to use it. Partly because it doesn't really have dock, you have to plug it in and sometimes it doesn't get plugged in. That's more a me problem, with a full charge it has pretty good battery life, more than enough to do any apartment I have lived in. The Karcher also is pretty easy to fully disassemble for cleaning (although it's kind of a hidden feature that so many parts just unscrew/unclip).

Керхер wd3, или ако имаш място за wd4. От 8 години я ползвам 4ката и то в строителни условия, тъй като това работя и държи на прах и всякакви строителни боклуци без ядове. Единствения проблем е че е големичка.

r/DIYUKWhat is your DIY-work vacuum ( with hepa filter if possible )?

I've got the smaller WD3 and that thing is amazing. I've sucked up rubble with it, used it inside and out, and one time sucked up enough water, it was spraying out the back... It didn't care. Still working fine. Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Karcher WD3, bought from Lulu. Its been 6 years, working fine. Also all the industrial vacuum cleaners at Lulu are of the same brand, that was also a reason i bought mine. Excellent performance so far and easy to clean.

r/BuyItForLifeIndiaWhich wet and dry vacuum cleaner should I buy for home use?
4 months ago

Go for Karcher WD3. its good. The sound it produces is loud and that's because of the suction it generates. The Floor is spotless clean. Been using it for 5 years now and no issues at all.

r/CleaningTipsAre Dyson vacuums really worth it? V11 is now under $400 and I'm tempted

No, best hoover you will get is a Karcher WD3 at say $100 (or £80 where I am).

r/VacuumCleanersDesperately need help picking out a vacuum cleaner for my house (and car too, if possible!)
9 months ago

With all hard floors and some rugs a bagged canister is the best option. A canister vacuum will be easy to use in your car thanks to its hose and tools. I wouldn't choose any of those Bissell upright vacuums, they're cheap and break quickly. They have brushrolls that are always spinning so they often throw stuff around on hard floors. The filtration on them is very poor they have cheap sponge filters. I'd also avoid using a regular shop vacuum like that Hart as a house vacuum. It's very loud and the filtration is very poor, it will blow a lot of dust back out. Shop vacs aren't designed for home use either, they're wide, tippy, and usually have a short cord. This Hyper Tough doesn't have a good indoor floor tool. The Eureka Mighty Mite is a decent option. Suction is good and it fits standard 1.25 inch tools. The criticism of its plastic attachments are fair for the combination dusting brush/upholstery tool is a cheap tool IMO. But many people aren't used to canisters or the friction fit plastic wands. Once you get used to how to use a canister and that plastic wands just fit on to each other it's not that bad. Pull too hard they'll come apart but so do the plastic wands on shop vacs. Check out the Eureka NEN170 $106. It's another canister vacuum from Eureka. This is a much more modern canister vacuum. It has a better metal extension wand, it has an automatic cord rewinder. It has factory hepa bags and a hepa filter. It's also much quieter than the Mighty Mite. Downsides are the included tools are small and it doesn't fit standard 1.25 inch tools. I have heard that it fits Miele tools 35 mm, but I can't confirm that. HP in shop vacuums is a way to confuse buyers. Not only do shop vacuums not achieve the stated HP numbers but since household vacuums don't use this rating it's easier to make them sound more powerful than they are. Shop vacs and house vacuums can both draw up to the max 12 amps or 1440 watts from a regular household outlet. You can have household vacuums that use 12 amps and you can have shop vacs that use less than 12 amps. If you really want a shop vac I recommend the Karcher WD 3 $79. It's a shop vacuum that isn't too loud and it has fleece bags that are reasonably priced. I would use the bags and filter combined for all dry vacuuming. It's still tippy because it's a shop vacuum and has the motor on top. It only comes with a floor tool and a crevice tool included, so I'd buy the combo floor tool and other car brush set,

Any of their wet and dry vacuum (WD series for consumer grade or NT for industrial grade). Most of the suction units are similar across the same range (only bigger bucket) but for general purpose home use is more than enough. Make sure it's wet and dry if you intend to use for vacuuming water/wet stuff and empty the bin + sun/air dry after use if it's wet, otherwise you will have your own biohazardous container at home. Can't recommend their water filter or bagged vacuums as I have no experience with those, however they look very generic like straight out of some china OEM factory.
