Technical innovations are increasingly invading all areas of our daily lives. And homework is no exception. Where previously housewives made do with a dustpan and a broom, now sophisticated units work. Today they provide much more opportunities than the household appliances that were offered on the market just a few years ago. A multifunctional device such as the Zelmer washing vacuum cleaner allows you to quickly and effortlessly perform both dry and wet cleaning. The main thing is to have a good understanding of all the options of the unit and make the most of its advantages.

Characteristics of the vacuum cleaner

This brand belongs to a manufacturer from Poland, which, in turn, is a subsidiary of the well-known BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH, headquartered in Munich. The specialization of the Polish division, which is located in Rzeszow, is precisely the production of various household appliances. Its quality was appreciated not only in Russia. For example, the Zelmer Aquavelt washing vacuum cleaner is supplied by a Polish manufacturer to 27 countries. The first household cleaning units went on sale under this brand in 1953, and since then the company has gained an excellent reputation in the market.

In the extensive range of Zelmer vacuum cleaners there are many traditional options with a garbage bag. They continue to be in great demand among consumers. However, more and more advanced users prefer washing versions equipped with aquafilters or multifunctional models. They are perfect for both standard city apartments and large country houses.

The Zelmer washing vacuum cleaner has been available on the domestic market for quite some time, the instructions for which allow you to study in detail all the technical characteristics of the device and understand the intricacies of use. The Zelmer Aquawelt line includes many models, which differ from each other in individual characteristics. However, they have a lot in common.

Rice. 1 — Aquafilter of the Zelmer Aquawelt vacuum cleaner

1. All equipment is equipped with an aquafilter, the high quality of which makes it possible to collect and retain the entire volume of sucked debris and dirt.
2. A washing vacuum cleaner can simultaneously work with a dust collection bag, that is, perform dry cleaning. This makes the equipment universal, suitable for working in a wide variety of conditions.
3. For the manufacture of all models, high-quality, high-strength materials are used. As a result, the body, for example, is able to withstand accidental impacts, even of significant force.
4. The warranty period is four years.
5. The Zelmer range of vacuum cleaners is distinguished by its affordable price, despite its wide functionality.
6. The equipment is quite easy to operate.
7. It has a stylish design and good ergonomics.
8. Depending on the specific model, there are additional features and a wide selection of accessories.

One additional option that is very useful is overload protection. If a large enough object gets into the hose and blocks the free movement of air, the protection will automatically reduce the engine speed, which will prevent the threat of engine burnout.

Another advantage of Zelmer vacuum cleaners and other household appliances is the use of Eco Power’s own original development. This is the name of the special engine energy saving system. It allows you to maintain the suction power of the vacuum cleaner when the rated power is significantly lower. In addition, Zelmer Aquawelt units are very mobile. They have a reduced noise level. There is a power regulator, the average of which is 1.6 thousand watts. Users are also attracted by the multi-stage filtration system.

However, there are complaints about some technical parameters. So, with seemingly small dimensions, after filling the tank with water and attaching all the necessary attachments, the weight of the vacuum cleaner increases significantly. Discomfort is also created by the fact that after use you need to thoroughly rinse all removable parts of the device.

How the device works

Let us consider in more detail the issue of assembly and the basic rules for working with the unit.

Each specific model is described in more detail by its own instructions included in the delivery kit. Common elements for all Zelmer devices are:

• engine;
• aquafilter;
• additional filter system, including HEPA filters, etc.;
• two water tanks (clean and dirty);
• hose;
• nozzles and brushes.

As a rule, the container for clean water has a smaller volume compared to the second tank, and if the contamination is very serious or a full-fledged general cleaning is planned, then during the work it may be necessary to add clean water in order for the result to be as effective as possible.

To make it easier to move around rooms, the body of the product is often equipped with wheels so as not to lift the rather large and heavy device manually.

It is not difficult to understand how to use a zelmer washing vacuum cleaner, because the principle of operation is quite simple. Clean water is poured into the tank, which is supplied through a hose to the nozzle and sprayed onto the floor surface. Then the waste liquid, together with the trapped debris, enters the second container through a special outlet, where it remains until it is poured into the sewer manually.

How does a vacuum cleaner work?

The principle of operation is almost completely similar to the operation of corresponding equipment from other brands. It is described in detail by the instructions included with each model of Zelmer Aquawelt washing vacuum cleaners.

The components are also similar:

• engine,
• hose,
• aquafilter,
• water tank (washing solution),
• HEPA filters,
• brushes,
• various nozzles.

The basis of the design is two containers. One is for water (clean or with detergent added), and the second is for dirty liquid obtained during the cleaning process. Depending on the Zelmer vacuum cleaner model, these tanks relative to each other can be placed either horizontally or vertically. This is easy to determine if you have the user manual for your specific model at hand.

Rice. 3 — Containers for clean and dirty water

As a rule, the container for clean water has a smaller volume than for waste liquid. This leads to the fact that during the work you have to regularly add water - clean or with a special washing shampoo. The larger the cleaning area, the more often this will have to be done: sometimes two or three times during the work process.

Most Zelmer models have special devices that specifically deliver water to the surface being cleaned and then collect it after cleaning. As a result, using the unit is much more convenient. When the tank is full, it is quite heavy; you can move it around the room on special wheels.

The operation algorithm of a washing vacuum cleaner from most brands is similar. Water is poured into the tank, supplied through a hose to the nozzle and wets the surface that is planned to be cleaned. In some models, treatment with discharged air is also possible. Then the dirty water is collected and sent through a special channel to a second container.

Instructions: how a washing vacuum cleaner works

Using a modern washing vacuum cleaner is practical, convenient, and extremely profitable. As a rule, all models of washing vacuum cleaners have one principle of operation, however, recommendations for use may differ. The design of the vacuum cleaner consists of a pair of containers that can be located horizontally and vertically relative to each other. One tank needs to be filled with clean water, and the second is designed to collect dirty liquid during the cleaning process.

There are models with small cassettes used for clean water, which are placed in the cavity of the waste liquid tank.

To make the operating process even more pleasant and convenient, the devices are equipped with special wheels. As for the tanks, the one in which dirty water is collected has a larger volume relative to the second tank, and therefore periodically you need to add water or a product, for example, shampoo, several times. In addition, the home cleaning unit is equipped with a device capable of supplying water to the surface that is being treated and collecting water after cleaning. Experts believe that the disadvantage of washing vacuum cleaners is that they are significantly larger in size compared to standard household appliances. It will take much more time to prepare the device for operation and after this you need to carry out a series of actions in the form of removing all the liquid and drying the filter. In fact, those who use such devices believe that this is not a drawback, but just required procedures, since using washing vacuum cleaners is an absolute pleasure.

How to use a vacuum cleaner correctly

The instructions for any Zelmer unit model will tell you in detail how to use it to do wet cleaning indoors. The power and functionality are enough to thoroughly clean tiles, porcelain tiles, and linoleum. It is also possible to clean certain types of carpets and laminate floors, provided that there are no restrictions on this cleaning option. Efficiency is determined by the presence of certain attachments, brushes, and other additional accessories.

It is still recommended to carry out dry cleaning first to reduce the amount of dust and also remove large debris. In such conditions, Zelmer Aquavelt works more efficiently.

Then you need to fill the container with water or a special cleaning solution. The instructions will provide information about the minimum and maximum volume of liquid allowed for each model. The dosage specified by the manufacturer must be strictly followed. If detergent is added to water, it usually turns into a thick foam when it disperses across the floor.

Brief operating instructions for the vacuum cleaner Zelmer Aquawelt 1600W

Which device should I buy for both floor cleaning and dust collection? Modern household appliances are multifunctional models that can perform various types of work, giving the owner only pleasure from caring for the home. It is not scary to entrust such equipment with the collection of various types of dirt, from liquid-like dirt to construction dirt in the house. Zelmer Aquavelt 1600W works simply excellent, naturally, if it is assembled correctly.

It can be used for:

• Collecting liquids of any kind from the floor and any other surface;
• Collection of fine dust after repair work;

Zelmer Sirius 919 has exactly the same principle of operation. The devices are deservedly recognized as multifunctional, high-quality and in demand almost all over the world. The product is equipped with a number of attachments, which allow you to carry out various types of work.

The device includes a standard brush with extendable bristles for cleaning carpets and furniture, an attachment for cleaning hard-to-reach places, a small brush for cleaning clothes and the surface of upholstered furniture, a turbo brush for stone, marble or tiles.

If you purchase a Zelmer made and assembled in Poland, the design will fully comply with the stated requirements from the manufacturer in terms of technical characteristics and operational properties. The Zelmer Profi 1600W and ZVC752spru 1500W models are considered the most optimal options, but there are also types with a power of up to 1900 W.

What are the problems and how to fix them

The manufacturer recommends thoroughly rinsing all removable elements after each use. Otherwise, the filtration properties of this equipment, for which it is often purchased, will be lost. In addition, remaining dust and dirt can become an excellent breeding ground for mites and bacteria. So, assembling the vacuum cleaner for storage is permissible only after all parts have been thoroughly washed and dried.

It is clear that, like any household appliance, Zelmer Aquawelt units can break down. If the Zelmer washing vacuum cleaner is faulty, the operating instructions will explain what to do. These are quite complex devices. So the main recommendation for repairs is that it is preferable to leave them in the hands of craftsmen. In addition, most models have a four-year warranty period.

If the vacuum cleaner does not turn on, first of all, make sure that the outlet is working.

When you have found out that everything is fine with it, you can estimate the possible causes of the malfunction. The most common of them are:

In general, home cleaning equipment from this manufacturer is considered reliable and durable if you strictly follow the operating instructions. The units have few weak points. For example, some users point out the risk of breaking the handle mounted on the dust collector. They think she's pretty weak. However, such fears are rarely justified.

Where to download the operating instructions for the Zelmer Aquawelt vacuum cleaner

In general, automatic home assistants are quite easy to operate. Such equipment has been present on the Russian market for quite some time. There are many resources on the World Wide Web where you can select and download the appropriate operating instructions in Russian. But it’s better to do this on the official website of the manufacturer.

After this, all that remains is to strictly follow the recommendations for use contained in the document. Perhaps problems can only arise by searching for a description of the Zelmer Profi 1600 vacuum cleaner model: it is no longer produced. Specialized resources on the Internet are sensitive to demand, and therefore instructions for using the Zelmer Pro 1600 version can be found extremely rarely.

Rice. 7 - Zelmer Profi 1600

In Russia, the Zelmer Aquawelt 1500W and Zelmer Aquawelt 1600W models are popular. In terms of their technical characteristics, they are almost identical - with the exception of power. Both are designed for both dry and wet cleaning. If necessary, you can use the same manual.

The next generation is the Zelmer Aquawelt 1700W model. Here the power is even higher. Due to this, as well as the large reservoir for the cleaning solution, the weight of the device exceeds 14 kg. If the cleaning area is quite small, then a unit with a power consumption of 1500 W will be sufficient. It is more mobile and lighter. Instructions for it can be easily found on the Internet.

What is the price?

Like any washing vacuum cleaner, devices from the Zelmer brand are quite expensive. For example, for the Zelmer Aquawelt Plus model you will have to pay an average of 11 thousand rubles. This is an option with standard options for this manufacturer. The 1600 W vacuum cleaner has an aqua filter and a fine filter; it is designed for both wet and dry cleaning. Additional options include a power regulator and a dust bin full indicator.

If you look at reviews of Zelmer products on the Internet, it becomes clear that the price range depending on the model is quite insignificant. There are also no significant differences whether the store is located in a specific city or whether it is an online platform. The price range for Zelmer Aquavelt washing vacuum cleaners is approximately 10.5–15 thousand rubles.

Universal vacuum cleaners from Zelmer are a good help for any housewife who wants to make cleaning more comfortable and efficient. They are easy to use. And if any questions suddenly arise, you can always refer to the operating instructions or find on the Internet a suitable video with consultations from knowledgeable professionals.

Which washing vacuum cleaner is better: Thomas or Zelmer?

There is a long-standing debate: which brand of vacuum cleaner is better - the German brand Thomas or the Polish company Zelmer. In terms of functionality, these are equivalent devices, but German devices are several times more expensive.

The opinion of the craftsmen involved in the repair of such equipment was also divided. Some argue that breakdowns in Thomas occur less frequently, but they are much more serious, which requires lengthy and costly repairs for the client. Most of the vacuum cleaners from Zelmer break down often, but are easy to set up.

The final choice is a subjective matter for the buyer. If he is willing to pay a large sum for a product that says “Made in Germany”, that’s his own business. If you want to save money, then it makes sense to turn your attention to the Polish brand. You can once again familiarize yourself with the features of the instructions for using Zelmer washing vacuum cleaners from the video.
