For the professional cleaner, there is always the dilemma of
whether to opt for an upright vacuum cleaner, or a cylinder model. Last month
we looked at the benefits of the upright, so now, in the name of helping you
make an informed and balanced decision, it is time to turn our attention to the
benefits of the cylinder vacuum cleaner.
Flexibility
If you have awkward locations to cover like stairs and under
desks, or unusual shaped spaces, the cylinder vacuum will usually be the
favourite option of the professional cleaner.
With the dust collector separated from the head of the
vacuum via a hose, you instantly get lots more flexibility when working with
areas that are a challenge to access, basically because all you need to move is
the hose, rather than the entire machine. There’s also the advantage of a
larger cleaning radius compared to that of the upright.
Mobility
If you need to move across large areas then the lighter
weight and compact design of the cylinder vacuum will usually suit you best.
Accessories are often stored onboard, making the machine a nicely portable,
all-in-one solution. The compact size also makes the machines a lot easier to
store and transport from one contract to another.
Versatility
Cylinder cleaners offer all-round cleaning features. Relying
on powerful suction rather than motorised brushes, these machines have highly
efficient motors. By adding simple accessories, they suddenly offer a whole new
realm of versatility, making them suitable for a vast range of applications
including flood management and industrial cleaning.
For this reason, cylinders are also a good choice when you
have a range of flooring types to tackle such as carpets, rugs and hard floors.
So there we have the key advantages of investing in a
cylinder vacuum cleaner. But which model to go for?
Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner Buyer’s Guide
Numatic and Truvox are two of the most renowned brands of cylinder
vacuum cleaner widely used in the commercial cleaning sector.
In the Truvox cylinder range, the VTVe Tub Vac offers
exceptional performance and an A energy rating. It’s a dry vac only and perfect
for educational establishments, offices and care homes. The machine is light
and easy to transport from one contract to the next. For detail cleaning and
hard to reach areas there are optional accessories. Another plus point is that
the VTVe is compatible with all Numatic Henry tools and bags.
The Numatic family is possibly one of the most well-known
and widely recognised cylinder vacuum cleaner ranges in professional circles.
We introduced you to Henry, Hetty, James, Charles and George in a previous post. These
low-noise, high-power machines offer a range of benefits such as energy saving
features; enhanced filtration; a wide range of accessories; ECO-technology and,
courtesy of Charles and George, a selection of options including wet, dry,
scrubbing and hard floor drying capabilities. Henry comes in both mains and
battery models.
Numatic also produces a range of slightly less endearingly-named
but just as powerful and advantageous cylinder cleaners, including the ProSave
Vacuum Cleaner which is fitted with a professional TwinFlo motor and NST
sound reduction. There are three models available ranging in size and power.
The Nuvac
is another model in the Numatic range. It comes with a range of floor vacuuming
tools, wands and hoses for the ultimate clean. This lightweight model is
particularly good where there are allergy sufferers thanks to its high quality
filtration system.
