Well, wait a minute! Animal vacuum cleaners go hunting

If the name of the model vacuum cleaner contains the English words “animal”, “pet”, “cat & dog”, then it is designed for pet owners and is able to collect hair well. Let’s find out why? The main device for cleaning animal hair – a turbo brush. The efficiency of a turbo brush depends directly on the design and method of operation. As for the design, each major manufacturer is trying to make it something of its own: a unique location of the bristles on the roll, the bristle material, the shape of the nozzle itself – more on this in the reviews of specific models.

TURBO BRUSH, AND NOT ONLY IT

The main device for cleaning animal hair – turbo brush. So the name of the nozzle, inside of which there is a rotating roller, picking up and winding on itself all that is so difficult to “peel off” from carpets and furniture: hair, wool, threads. The effectiveness of the turbo brush depends directly on the design and method of operation. As to a design, each large manufacturer tries to make in it something original: a unique arrangement of bristles on a roll, a material of bristles, the form of the nozzle – about it in details in reviews of concrete models.

And here are two ways to work: roller is set in motion either by a stream of air a mechanical method , or electricity: a wire is connected to the turbo brush and it works from its own electric motor. The last method is much more effective. By the way, some models of vacuum cleaners especially vertical ones, which have only one large nozzle are immediately equipped with electric turbo brushes.

At the same time such vacuum cleaners are not positioned as models for cleaning wool, they are just so versatile that they can do everything, and they can be quite recommended to owners of Bugs and Murzyks. And ErgoRapido models from Elestronuch it’s cordless upright vacuum cleaner use BRUSHROLLCLEAN self-cleaning turbo brush technology to remove hair from the brush roll: you just press the button on the nozzle with your foot and the roll-out blades will instantly cut through the hair and it will immediately suck it up.

Turbo brush nozzles are available for the floor large and wide and for cleaning upholstered furniture – mini-turbo brushes. For all turbo brushes the roll cleaning system is important: after several cleanings and with a big dog or during the moulting period and after one use from the roll it is necessary to remove the wound up hair, which at times can become almost a felt.

In a good turbo brush, the roller should be easy to remove and easy to put back in place, and you should see a deep groove on the roller itself. It has a scissor blade inserted to simply cut through the coiled hair and remove it easily. If you see that the turbo brush is not designed that way, it will be of little use and a lot of trouble.

Not only mini-brushes are available for cleaning pet hair on furniture. Some manufacturers develop their own ingenious devices: for example, a regular upholstery tool can have a special bump or tongue – a thread lifter: it will catch threads or hair, and then they will be sucked in by the vacuum cleaner.

Bissel has developed an ingenious silicone vacuum cleaner head for its vacuum cleaners: the soft teeth effectively remove dust from upholstery without damaging it. “The beauty of it is that it follows the contour of your furniture and picks up hairs even from creases and in three planes at once.

Known for its innovations, the company Dyson introduced a new series of vacuum cleaners DC52 with a unique mini-turbo brush Tangle-free Turbine without the traditional roller. If you look at this brush head from the top, you’ll see a design that looks a lot like the gears on a clock. It is they grab all the hair and sends it inside the nozzle, not tangled on the roller: it simply does not!

ROBOT VACUUM CLEANERS

By the way, absolutely all robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with electric turbo brushes as the main means of cleaning. Another issue is that the suction power of these devices are often not enough to well clean the carpet, but for the daily maintenance of cleanliness in the house where there are animals, robots are quite suitable. If the pet sheds a lot, it is better to choose models with a large dust canister, for a robot vacuum cleaner it is 1 liter. To prevent the vacuum from knocking over bowls of food and water on the floor, there must be a “virtual wall” function that allows you to cordon off the area off limits to the robot. But it is better not to rely on cleaning in your absence, because animals are usually afraid of robots, and it is worth to control the process.

Some robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with ultraviolet lamps and not only clean but also disinfect surfaces, including killing dust mites. In principle, efficient robots these are not toys for 3-4 thousand Dollars, and models costing from 15-16000 Dollars handle daily cleaning approximately equally, however, among them there are models that are positioned as vacuum cleaners for pet owners. For example, the ROOMY SILVER DOG PREMIUM: its vacuum can hold one liter of debris and hair, the UV lamp disinfects floors and completely destroys flea larvae.

WITH A CYCLONE OR BAG?

The vast majority of “animal” models are cyclonic vacuum cleaners with plastic containers for collecting dust. The exception in the American market are Miele S 6220 Cat&Dog with a branded high-tech bag HiClean, Thomas Cat&Dog ht with a water filtration system Aquabox and the ability to install a filter-bag for emergency dry cleaning and some “baggy” models of Bork, which are not positioned as intended for owners of animals, but are equipped or have an optional electric turbo brush.

The popularity of cyclones in this category is understandable: usual bags are easily clogged by wool, which can penetrate into their smallest pores. It immediately reduces the suction power, whereas cyclonic and especially multi-cyclonic technology is based on using centrifugal force to separate large dust particles from small ones and systematically settles all dust and dirt to the bottom of the container. The aforementioned models of German manufacturers do not have the problem of clogging bags of hair.

“I’VE KNOWN YOU FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS CAT BEFORE!”

If you’ve had the vacuum cleaner for a long time and have a less than fluffy pet recently, you’ll have to make a choice: buy a Turbo Brush from the same manufacturer or switch to a different vacuum cleaner. Our advice: if the vacuum cleaner is not old a year or two , powerful suction power from 300W and you look after it – regularly change or wash the filters, then the purchase of turbo brushes will be the right decision. Optimally, if the model has a connector for an electric brush, as in many Miele models. If it’s more than two or three years old and you can’t get it to its full potential, a normal turbo brush is a waste of money because the brush roll won’t turn at all.

    for animals in the wild? How does that work? Are they designed to suck up smaller creatures or is this just a bizarre coincidence? I’m curious to know more about how these vacuum cleaners function and what their purpose is. Can someone shed some light on this peculiar concept?
