I go from a vacuum cleaner to a balai vacuum cleaner: what should I expect?

The Balai vacuum cleaner, especially in stick format, is much more compact. The charging bases also serve as a storage base even if, it is true, you have to find a location with a nearby socket and pierce a few holes to fix it. Small expert advice: it is wise to keep the accessories not far from his vacuum cleaner in a tote bag, for example.

Versatility and maneuverability: the winning duo!

And these accessories, they can be very numerous! While the trainee vacuum cleaner is satisfied with a sucker and a brush for furnishing fabrics, a stick-balai vacuum cleaner is sometimes delivered with several suction heads for different types of soils, electric minibrosses for sofas or the interior of cars, sometimes enlightening, sometimes long or flexible, sucking. Far under the furniture without contorting, brushes for animal hair … By looking a little, everyone will find the model which will perfectly meet their needs.

Whether those who have never railed against the sled wire getting into the feet of the furniture, animals or causing themselves in the legs of the user throws the first stone. With a stick, we gain in agility, we move without ever worrying about this cable which will also be too short and which will therefore be necessary to disconnect, then reconnect to a closer socket.

The question of autonomy

By abandoning the cable, the user necessarily relying on a battery which is perhaps the weak point of the Balai vacuum cleaner: autonomy. To avoid seeing the machine stop in the middle of the session, you will have to get used to connect it as soon as it is not used. In addition, it may be time to change your habits and think of not vacuuming any more a week, but rather to take it out as soon as you see dust on the ground to be content, in the end, of a much faster weekly passage. In our opinion, it is also important to choose a model with a precise remaining autonomy indicator, to be able to plan your cleaning session effectively.

Power: a false debate?

“It’s very nice vot ‘Trucmuche there! But it does not aspire anything compared to my good old mega Typhon 2000!”

Yes, it’s true, the stick-format aspirators do not have a suction power as strong as that of the sleds. This is why they are also less noisy, by the way. But they compensate! Their rotary brush, if it is well designed, will propel the debris to the suction tube and they will be sucked much more easily. And this technology has other advantages. On carpets or carpets, the hairs of the rotary brushes beat the textile fibers to eject its detritus and dust. Sweet roller brushes, on the other hand, chase the hard surfaces such as parquet floors. Does your sleigh know how to do the same? It is unlikely.

When tech invites itself into cleaning

Even if it is often the most expensive models that are the most concerned, the Balais vacuums often have household aids. Admittedly, this will not revolutionize the world, but dust sensors, in addition to indicating if the soil is clean, modulate the power of the engine in real time to gain autonomy; There is no need to operate at full speed when there is almost nothing to aspire. We have already talked about the articulated tubes. These form a formidable duo with the LED ramps on the suction head which lights up the dark floors or the underside of the furniture, a basic functionality of which few trainers can boast.

Goodbye bags, hello the collector!

The abandonment of dust bags is a real asset in favor of the Balai Stick vacuum cleaner. Without even evoking the ecological aberration of these complicated consumables to recycle, they were often expensive and it was also necessary to change them often. In addition, the stopping of the production of a bag reference also meant the rebuilding of the vacuum cleaner-traineau to which he corresponded, even if the latter worked without problem: a real wound! In summary, we first gain in sound and stumbling species: more consumables to buy! But we also gain in simplicity of maintenance: it is now enough to empty the collector directly in the trash, in a few seconds. The change of bag is not an insurmountable operation, but it is much more complicated than a simple collector emptying, a fortiori If your new brand new vacuum cleaner is equipped with an automatic charging base. Attention ! The latter often use bags, but not all: remember to check!

Reverse of the medal of the bag-free balai, you must not forget to empty your collector regularly, if only for obvious questions of hygiene. Small advice: the best is to evacuate at the end of the cleaning session, before resting your device on its charging base.
