Electric brooms for household cleaning: the different vacuuming techniques

Electric brooms for household cleaning today offer different suction techniques associated with the various technologies, which differ in price and and effectiveness.

La

electric broom

is an increasingly used accessory for speeding up the cleaning of home environments. What are the different suction techniques? And what are
the most effective and convenient
for our portfolio?

There is a wide range of models on the market, which differ from each other in technical features and suction technology.

Power modes of electric brooms: what are they?

The
power mode
is often the main distinguishing feature of an electric broom; in this respect, electric brooms can be
corded or cordless
.

The former must be
connected to an electrical outlet
via a power cord; the latter, on the other hand, have an internal rechargeable battery.

Both types of devices use a
digital electric motor

brushless
at high speed; it is-in simple terms-a small-sized thruster consisting of a series of induction coils controlled by a microchip.

Because there are no creeping electrical contacts (so-called “brushes”) between the coils and the magnetic poles, it is called brushless.

This technology provides high performance despite the small size of the mechanism; therefore, it is widely used for the operation of the vacuum system of electric brooms.

Those of the

, for example, mount a
three-phase digital motor

brushless
capable of reaching a rotational speed of 100,000 rpm, thanks to an 8×3000 mAh battery.

In addition, the cyclonic suction mode (dual or horizontal), in combination with noise attenuation technology, ensures high performance,
among the best in the industry even in terms of economic

Bagged vacuum cleaners

Several electric broom models come with a bag (usually paper) for collecting dust and dirt.

A special
sensor
signals when the container is full and needs to be replaced; this is a fairly easy system to manage, since the bag-once filled-is simply thrown away.

As a result, any possible contact with dirt is avoided, without dispersing it into the environment.

Cyclonic suction

A
cyclonic electric broom
does not have interchangeable bags but a fixed tank; it uses a special suction mechanism, the name of which is derived from the circular motion of the air that is sucked into the device.

By suction, air and dirt are conveyed into a tank equipped with a propeller, which, when set in motion, creates a kind of small cyclone.

This movement uses centrifugal force to separate solid particles (i.e., dirt captured by the electric broom) from the air, which is conveyed outside the appliance.

This type of technology is now quite common, so much so that it is used by most industry brands and is applied to both wired and cordless models.

Electric brooms equipped with this particular technology can employ a
monocyclonic vacuum cleaner
or
multicyclonic
.

In the first case, there is a cyclonic filter inside the device consisting of a single inverted cone structure; inside the filter, the propeller generates a single ‘cyclone’ by moving the sucked air.

The
multi-cyclonic suction brooms
, on the other hand, are equipped with multiple filters, in which multiple whirlwinds develop simultaneously.

For this reason, they are more powerful than mono-cyclonic vacuum cleaners, which, on average, can capture only three-quarters of the sucked dust; in contrast, through multi-cyclonic vacuuming, the electric broom is
able to collect up to 95 percent of the dirt particles
.

Water suction

Electric water brooms (not to be confused with steam cleaners) are characterized by the presence of a water filter.

The latter ensures that dirt captured by suction is retained within the device, preventing possible leakage.

Electric water brooms, therefore, are
particularly suitable for allergy sufferers
, because they are better able to trap dust and dirt particles.

In fact, thanks to the water filter, the air is completely stripped of impurities before being expelled from the device.
