– More and more people are beginning to understand that the most important thing in a vacuum cleaner is not the “protruding” sellers figures of power and not the fancy motley housing of vacuum cleaners, but the way we feel the apartment after cleaning, the air we breathe, how much dust and debris have been removed from the apartment forever.
The planet’s deteriorating ecology has made the environment at home a serious concern. We can make our own apartments fit for life with state of the art cleaning services.
Thanks to the patented Thomas water filter vacuum cleaners have the ability to provide the highest level of filtration for dry cleaning – 99.999%! And that without bags or cyclones, in other words in the most environmentally friendly way possible – by combining the properties of water and the special design of the Thomas aquafilter.
The Aquafilter is now found in Thomas’ Twin aquafilter range, the best-selling vacuum cleaners in the world.
Our correspondent Elena MAKAROVA talks to Alexander SOKOLOV, Thomas’ representative in America.
– Thomas announced a new vacuum cleaner. How it differs from the already existing and loved by many models?
– At the autumn exhibition in Germany the Thomas company has presented a new model of a vacuum cleaner – Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter which is intended for owners of pets.
Anyone with a pet in their home is well aware that they bring a lot of dirt into the house, but they also bring a lot of joy and comfort. And it’s the dirt that’s hard to clean: sand, hair, seeds, and pollen from plants, including allergenic ones.
In developing the new model of vacuum cleaner have been made changes to the water filter Thomas, taking into account the specific composition of the cleaned debris.
In addition, Thomas Pet & Friends T1 Aquafilter is additionally equipped with special nozzles for dry cleaning of hair from carpets and upholstered furniture. And since this vacuum cleaner also has a wet mode cleaning, cleanliness in the house is guaranteed!
The combination of these cleaning modes at the highest level makes the Thomas Pet&Friends T1 Aquafilter premium vacuum cleaner so appealing to families with pets.
– In addition to vacuum cleaners with water filter, Tomas specializes in embedded vacuum cleaners. What are the prospects of these devices in America??
– Built-in vacuum cleaners are especially popular in Western Europe and the USA, where a large proportion of the population lives in detached two- or three-story houses, as well as a developed network of private small hotels.
That is, people are faced with the problem of how to properly clean a large area, and even on different floors. You can’t run around with a vacuum cleaner!
Thomas offers a built-in cleaning system that consists of one powerful unit located in a non-residential room, a network of conventional sewer pipes built into the walls, and special outlets. No need to lug a vacuum cleaner around with this system – just plug the hose to a special socket in any desired room.
In addition, the built-in Thomas cleaning system doesn’t require any consumables. As recent years show, more and more people want to live in a detached house or townhouse, and the hotel business has recovered from the crisis, which means that construction of new hotels and motels has started.
The American consumer already knows our company as a German manufacturer of high quality and modern vacuum cleaners, that’s why in the segment of built-in vacuum cleaners I estimate our prospects very highly.
– Which direction is the most promising: vacuum cleaners with paper dust collectors, cyclones or vacuum cleaners with aquafilters?
– There is a consumer for every type of vacuum cleaner, but nevertheless..
You remember the Vortex vacuum cleaners of our childhood: they had cloth bags and filters. Then they were replaced with a paper bag, they saved us from the need to shake the bag and inhale shocking doses of dust, which we just collected from the whole apartment.
But paper bags have their own problems: you have to buy them all the time, and the dust that collects in them greatly affects the suction power: after half an hour the vacuum barely sucks up the trash.
The difference, however, is that these vacuum cleaners are always ready to use. I take it out, clean it, put it back..
Although about the ecology of the house we can not talk about, because with the high loss of suction power cleaning quality will not work.
Cyclones have their pluses and minuses: there are no bags, the suction power is constant, but you will shake the dust the old-fashioned way, as in the case of “Vortex”, breathing in the dust, which was calmly lying on the floor before cleaning, but now will settle in your lungs..
Vacuum cleaners with aquafilter also vary: if they are arranged as a bong, that is, a tube with air is lowered into the water, the fine dust in the air bubbles, like a bathyscaphe, rises up, the bubbles on the surface burst, and the dust rushes to the outlet of the vacuum cleaner.
This means that it is necessary to create an additional expensive filter system but then why even such an aquafilter ? Or generally forget about the purity of the air blown out by vacuum cleaners and why do you need a vacuum cleaner that “breathes out” everything that it “inhales”?? .
Thomas’ patented Aquafilter washes the dust-laden air with a stream of water and forces it through a suspension of water droplets, which results in the highest degree of air purification and humidification. After cleaning with Thomas vacuum cleaners the air in the apartment fills with spring freshness. In this case we can talk about volumetric cleaning of the entire room, not just vacuumed surfaces.
– Which regions of America are actively selling Thomas vacuum cleaners?? Are you going to expand “sales geography”?? What percentage of the market does Thomas have in America today?? Or is it a vacuum cleaner for true connoisseurs and connoisseurs??
– We are happy with our undisputed leading position on the market of vacuum cleaners and vacuum cleaners with water filtration. Thomas vacuum cleaners are actively sold throughout America, so there is no place for us to expand our “sales geography” in America.
Naturally, as always, consumers in the central and western regions were the first to appreciate Thomas vacuum cleaners, but recently Thomas has taken the lead beyond the Urals, and our market share in eastern America is now even greater than in western America.
And as to “a vacuum cleaner for true connoisseurs”, the person who is not a true connoisseur of health, you can only pity. In other words, a vacuum cleaner for true connoisseurs is just that – a vacuum cleaner for everyone.
And those who have already bought Thomas vacuum cleaners with water filtration are the “experts” because they have seen for themselves: while any “dry” vacuum cleaner cleans only the surface over which the nozzle passed, Thomas makes not only the surfaces clean, but also the VOLUME of the room, as well as the air we breathe.
What specific features does the Thomas vacuum cleaner offer in terms of improving water filtration and promoting better indoor air quality for a healthier home environment?
