Aqua-Box XT Thomas Sky review: heaven in a box

Remember the famous idiom “a storm in a glass of water”? That’s basically what happens in the Aquabox water filtration system, which this vacuum cleaner, like all Thomas XT dry vacuum cleaner models, is equipped with. The Aqua-Box is responsible for humidification and air purity during and after cleaning, when you can breathe as freely and easily as you do outside, away from the city smog. Externally, the Aquabox is a plastic container with a lid and a handle, but its inner construction is unique and patented.

2 elements of cleanliness: vacuum cleaner and humidifier with patented Aqua-Box water filtration system

With AquaBox, the air-flow is first directed through a water wall made of four counter-jet nozzles, and then through a series of cleaning stages. In the water wall, each and every particle of dust and fur becomes wet, they become heavy and stick together with other particles of debris. The air with this suspension then enters a “mist” of water droplets, where the dust particles spin in airy micro-cyclones. Dust particles settle on the wet walls of the Aqua-Box and then drip down into the water. Aquabox provides the highest level of filtration 99.99% dust and 100% pollen and purity of exhaust air. It is important that Thomas Aquabox does not operate on the principle of a bong, as so-called “aquafilters” of other manufacturers, where the air simply passes through the water and in it remains only coarse dust. The Aquabox keeps debris, dust, dirt, pollen and allergens reliably trapped inside the vacuum, keeping dust and allergens out of the exhaust air. “The EPA filter is the final care in vacuuming, but unlike other vacuum cleaners, it is only subject to minimal use – and that too, thanks to the Aquabox.

NOT ONLY THE VACUUM CLEANER, BUT ALSO THE HUMIDIFIER

Thanks to the water filtration system Aquabox, the vacuum cleaner does not come out dry as usual, and humidified air, and the vacuum cleaner works on the principle of volume 3D dust suppression. That means that while you vacuum the surfaces floors, furniture, carpets the clean, wetted air that leaves the vacuum fills the dust particles that float around the room with moisture. They become heavy and settle down where they meet the vacuum cleaner’s nozzle. So it’s not just the floor, furniture and other surfaces that are covered, but also the air, where it’s dust-free.

WATER CIRCULATION

Water is the lifeblood of cleanliness and Thomas wet mopping is always superb, because the surfaces are washed with clean water, pressurized by the water flowing from the integrated nozzle and the dirt is quickly sucked out, thanks to the powerful turbine. Thomas can even tackle tacky, dry dirt, carpets down to the base of the nap, which flattens out and gives the carpet a bright, well-groomed look. A unique Thomas nozzle with a narrow nozzle that boosts the airflow, and after cleaning, it removes almost all the water from the carpet, so it dries really fast. For cleaning floors, but also painted walls, tiles, doors, and even windows, this nozzle comes with a special adapter with a pile and an elastic rubber strip.

A special nozzle for wet cleaning of upholstered furniture can clean mattresses, curtains, heavy bedspreads, which can not be washed in the machine.

But water isn’t always a good thing. Probably in every home has happened more than once, when the floor was a large amount of liquid and had to urgently collect it, otherwise you can say goodbye to the expensive flooring or – even worse – to flood the neighbors and pay them compensation for repairs. In such an emergency, Thomas can pick up spills quickly – without the hassle of towel-swaddling devices. A special sensor switches the vacuum cleaner off when excess water is sucked in, so there is no risk of it getting “choked” and breaking down.

OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION

The model will be appreciated by those who don’t like to overpay for technical superfluities – like nozzles, for instance, which are not needed. The Thomas Sky Aqua-Box XT is packed with the most essential tools and attachments. This includes the Switchable Nozzle for dry cleaning of hard surfaces and carpets, the Nozzle for upholstered furniture with thread lifter, the Scratch Nozzle, the Damp Spray Nozzle with integrated switchable adapter for carpet and hard surfaces, the Spray Nozzle for wet cleaning of upholstered furniture, the Square Brush Nozzle for cleaning cabinet furniture and electronics, THOMAS ProTex Carpet and Floor Cleaner Concentrate.

MADE IN GERMANY. WELL THOUGHT OUT IN EVERY DETAIL

All Thomas appliances are designed and manufactured only in Germany. Hence the German practicality and attention to detail. There are a number of important advantages to using a Rainbow, such as the splash-proof electronic buttons that ensure safe and reliable vacuuming over the long term. The EPA fine filter can be replaced for at least 1 year and can be rinsed under running water if contaminated. The crevice nozzle and the brush nozzle with a long stiff nap are stored in special “sockets” on the body of the vacuum cleaner, so they are always at hand during cleaning. Special bumper protects the furniture from damage during cleaning. Advanced wheels and castors provide incredible maneuverability. And that’s not all the fine details that make the Thomas Sky Aqua-Box XT really “German” in its ergonomics.

The name of the new model from German masters Thomas – Sky. . It would seem, as the device for cleaning, above all, surfaces in the house with the air element? It turns out quite, if it is helped by… water.

The Aquabox is extremely convenient and practical to use. It is a sealed plastic container, into which you pour one liter of tap water before cleaning. No antifoaming agents or chemicals, just water! Very easy to clean after cleaning. The whole procedure takes minutes: you just pour 1 liter of clean water into it, shake it several times and pour out the dirty water.

Using the AquaBox ensures that the suction power is always available for the entire cleaning cycle.
