Why buy an industrial vacuum cleaner

Thanks to the fact that they are capable of vacuuming dry and wet, and to their “hardness”, they are ideal for these tasks.
Furthermore, due to its characteristics, They can be used for professional cleaning (offices, leisure venues...) or, in some cases, workshops or small warehouses..
The capacity of your tank, its power and other features you may want, such as ability to blow, in addition to vacuuming, or to plug other tools directly into a vacuum outlet, will determine your choice.

Features of industrial vacuum cleaners
Choosing an industrial vacuum cleaner can be difficult, since there are a wide variety of brands and models.
Next, we will review a series of characteristics on which you can base your choice, and we will offer you different alternatives for this, in addition to our rating of each vacuum cleaner. You know, at MiAspiradora, we analyze, you choose.
Dry and wet
In this analysis we are looking at, in general, vacuum cleaners capable of dry and wet vacuuming. This, in practice, means that you will be able to vacuum liquids, without worrying about your vacuum cleaner getting damaged (as would happen in a conventional sled).
In some cases, in addition, the operation is very comfortable, since There are devices that have automatic or semi-automatic cleaning systems, which allow you to easily clean the filter in a few minutes, by pressing a button.
Robustness
Industrial vacuum cleaners are generally much more robust than conventional sled vacuum cleaners., since they are prepared for more intensive use, and to vacuum materials that are thicker than the dust that we usually find in homes.
Although all of them are very resistant devices, we can separate two groups: those that are made of polyethylene, polypropylene or similar (to understand it, plastic), and those that have a stainless steel tank..
Power
Wet and dry vacuum cleaners have not been affected, for the moment, by the European regulations that regulate the energy efficiency and labeling of these devices.
Therefore, in the market we can find devices with a high nominal power, from 1.000 watts to 3.000.
Although there is no strictly proportional relationship between this and the absorption capacity of the vacuum cleaner (since it also depends on other factors, such as the design of the tubes and brushes, the air flow, the tightness or the filters), there is which is an indication that we are talking about very powerful machines.
Deposit
Undoubtedly, and given that we are talking about devices in many cases aimed at the professional sector, they are vacuum cleaners with a much larger tank than those focused on the home environment.
Compared to maximum capacities of about 5 liters in the case of conventional sled vacuum cleaners, Industrial vacuum cleaners have very large tanks, usually larger than 15 liters, and reaching 80 liters. on any device included in this guide.
Blown
You may find the blowing function very useful in those cases where it is difficult to vacuum or you simply prefer not to (for example, to clean leaves from trees).
If you remember how a vacuum cleaner works, whose system is based on a fan and a vacuum, it does not seem too complicated to include a blowing system in these devices.
Although it is not common in domestic vacuum cleaners, it is the most common in industrial vacuum cleaners. All industrial vacuum cleaners included in this review include the blow function.
Price
As we indicated, you can find wet and dry vacuum cleaners in a wide price range.
In many cases, prices will determine the benefits you can access. Nevertheless, You can find cheap industrial vacuum cleaners that are highly rated by their users.. This does not mean that they are better than other more expensive models, but it does indicate a better quality-price ratio.
