Recently, more and more users are choosing vacuum cleaners with a washing function. Such devices are equipped with a wet cleaning option, which means they are able to collect liquid and clean upholstered furniture, glass and even tiles at home. But with additional functions, such devices are easy to use and quite durable.
The market for vacuum cleaners for dry and wet cleaning is quite diverse, but models from the Thomas brand are especially popular. And all because of the high quality, reliability and versatility of the devices. But which one is better and how to use such vacuum cleaners, we will tell you further.
Preparing for work
Before you start cleaning the house, you need to prepare the electrical appliance. Without this you will not get the desired result. Before starting work, you need to complete 7 steps:
- The vacuum cleaner has a reservoir that must be filled with water and a special solution.
- You need to connect the pipe to the nozzle and to the body.
- The capillary is connected to the pipe using clips.
- Next, connect the suction pipe to the hose.
- The hose is inserted into the connector.
- The cable is pulled out.
- Connect the device to power.
Important! Before use, filters should be cleaned, dried, and installed. This will make cleaning more intense and the device will last longer.
Some companies produce a model with a filter element. Devices often have a compartment that collects dirty water. You should put a defoamer in it. There are also models with a steam function.
Despite the name of the electrical appliance, it is also used for dry cleaning. To do this, you do not need to pour water or detergent into the compartment. Dry cleaning is suitable for surfaces on which water has a detrimental effect.
Operating the device at the level of intuition is good, but it is better to read the instructions. This will help avoid breakdowns.
How to clean a surface
There are many surfaces. Each coating has specific care requirements.
Laminate
Laminate flooring does not tolerate moisture. When cleaning laminitis, use a minimal amount of water.
If you use a washing vacuum cleaner, then only with an empty tank or compartment should be filled with a special liquid for cleaning this floor covering.
Important! If you use a device where the compartment is filled with water, the moisture must be wiped off immediately. Laminate flooring cannot be cleaned with steam. When caring for the surface, it is better to purchase a special nozzle.
Parquet
A vacuum cleaner for cleaning parquet must be equipped with a soft brush. It is better to use a special nozzle that will not allow the floor to remain wet. Water has a bad effect on parquet, like laminate.
You should avoid prolonged contact of the coating with water, so it will last longer. You can also use special cleaning products for laminate flooring.
Carpet
Carpet cleaning is the most difficult procedure. You need to fill the reservoir with water and detergent. The carpet needs to be steam treated. It will be damp after cleaning.
It is better not to walk on a wet carpet, as the pile will become compacted, the carpet will take longer to dry, and the appearance after complete drying will not be ideal.
Important! The carpet dries in 4-5 hours. If the room temperature is high and there is good ventilation, the carpet will dry in 3 hours. The coating must be dried so that mold does not develop in it.
Attachments in the form of brushes, the movement of which is carried out in different directions, will have a good effect on the coating. The choice of nozzle depends on the length of the carpet pile. When cleaning wet, use detergents that do not contain chlorine.
Caring for the washing vacuum cleaner after cleaning
Be sure to monitor the device. The quality of equipment care will determine its service life. It is worth following simple rules.
- upon completion of cleaning, unplug the device from the outlet;
- remove all attachments;
- clean and wash the container containing dirty water and debris;
- you need to wait until the compartment dries, only then insert it into place;
- clean the nozzles.
A washing vacuum cleaner is a necessary device for the home. It is suitable for universal cleaning of premises.

Are all attachments suitable for cleaning carpet?
Each washing device comes with a special nozzle. Its differences from other types:
- Triangular shape.
- Narrow nozzle for high power output.
- Hose for supplying solution.
The design of the nozzle in a vacuum cleaner for cleaning carpets makes it possible to almost simultaneously supply the solution to the pile and collect it in a tank for dirty water.
What else do you need to remember?
- When washing carpets with a vacuum cleaner, you should use a special professional detergent solution - Thomas. This concentrated shampoo makes cleaning even more effective, as it copes with even difficult old stains. Its advantages are economical consumption and excellent results.
- Cleaning should be done at a moderate pace to ensure that every area of the carpet is thoroughly treated.
- To prevent the carpet from getting wet, you don’t need to clean the same area for a long time.
- Before purchasing a vacuum cleaner, check your carpet for color fastness. To do this, wet a white cloth and rub the lint in some inconspicuous place. If the fabric is not stained, then the carpet can be washed with a vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum cleaners for cleaning carpets help you get an excellent result with a minimum of effort: a clean floor with raised pile and a fresh look. An additional effect that you will appreciate is that the air is purified from dust and dust mites are eliminated even from the depths of the carpet.
How to choose a Thomas brand vacuum cleaner
Many owners of country cottages and city apartments dream of purchasing a washing vacuum cleaner from the Thomas brand. This home assistant is very simple and effective in operation, while being quite economical in energy consumption. Each vacuum cleaner from the manufacturer of the same name comes with instructions that any housewife can quickly understand. Before making a purchase, buyers should carefully study the reviews of the owners of such equipment, as well as watch thematic videos in which experts talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this or that modification.
What does the manufacturer offer today?
Currently, the Thomas brand is well known throughout the world. The German manufacturing company supplies the domestic market with a wide range of household appliances, in particular vacuum cleaners, under this brand. Among Russian consumers, washing devices are very popular, with which you can carry out professional cleaning, both in a large country house and a small city apartment.
The German company offers domestic consumers the following modifications of washing vacuum cleaners:
- with aqua filters;
- universal;
- equipped with aqua filters;
- detergents;
- universal with aqua filters;
- “super” vacuum cleaners;
- detergents with aqua filters.
High build quality
Thomas Aquafilter – a unique dust and hair catcher
German engineers did not use the hookah principle of the aquafilter structure, since such a design does not provide the required degree of filtration, and the degree of filtration is the most important characteristic of a vacuum cleaner. The patented Thomas water filter is unique and is used only in Thomas vacuum cleaners. Thomas's filtration rate is really high: 99.99% dust and 100% pollen!
In the Thomas aquafilter, the air flow is first sprayed with jets of water, passing through a water wall formed by four counter nozzles, and then through a series of cleaning stages.
In the water wall, every speck of dust and every hair is wetted, and they become heavy. Then the air with this suspension enters the “fog” of water droplets, where dust particles rotate in air microcyclones. Dust and wool particles become large and sink to the bottom of the container or are retained in the large-pore filter.
For what purposes should it be used?
Each Thomas washing vacuum cleaner (reviews of all modifications can be found on specialized web resources), which is equipped with an aqua filter, can be used not only for dry cleaning. According to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer, various surfaces can be washed using this technique:
- glass;
- mirrored;
- fabric (for example, upholstered furniture);
- any types of floor coverings.
Attention! The manufacturer of the same name equips all its vacuum cleaners with unique filters, thanks to which any floor covering will undergo three levels of cleaning. Even the smallest particles of dust are removed from the intake air, making cleaning with this technique always as effective as possible.
Distinctive characteristics
Every person who plans to purchase a Thomas brand vacuum cleaner for home use should know what the main differences between the modifications presented on the domestic market and similar devices are:
- Water collection. Almost every Thomas vacuum cleaner model is equipped with a water collection function. It is very relevant for families with small children who tend to spill liquid on the floor or furniture.
- Weight. The manufacturer paid great attention to this issue, so its modifications weigh no more than 10 kg. Thanks to this, every housewife will be able to move the vacuum cleaner without much effort, even around a large house equipped with stairs.
- Dust container indicator. Probably every person who has a vacuum cleaner at home has repeatedly forgotten about timely cleaning of the dust bag. People remember the need to empty it only when the quality of cleaning has significantly decreased. Noticing that the vacuum cleaner stops properly sucking up dust and small debris, owners of apartments and houses urgently knock out dust collectors that are filled to capacity. The Thomas brand equipment has an indicator that promptly indicates the need to clean the bag.
- Additional attachments. Many modifications of Thomas vacuum cleaners are equipped with a special turbo brush, which makes it possible to remove hair, pet fur and other debris from difficult surfaces.
Additional attachments make cleaning your apartment easier
Basic criteria for choosing a vacuum cleaner
Before choosing a Thomas brand vacuum cleaner, you need to decide which type is better. There are several criteria that will allow you to make a successful choice:
- power. The manufacturer launches models for 1300 - 2000 W;
- suction power. For Thomas vacuum cleaners it is 300-450 W;
- type of dust collector. The devices are equipped with disposable bags, containers for cyclone assembly, aqua boxes and aqua filters;
- filter features. The devices are equipped with electrostatic microfilters, HEPA, S-class elements;
Important! All filtration systems absorb particles with fractions of 0.3 microns by 99.97%.
- dimensions of the product and its weight. The parameter depends on the volume of the tank for clean (from 2-3 to 10 l) and waste (5-20 l) water;
- availability of accessories. The standard equipment includes brushes and attachments for the floor or carpet, and a brush for cleaning crevices.
Additionally, some models can be equipped with a turbo brush for cleaning animal hair, a brush for upholstered furniture, bags, tiles and laminate.
What benefits should you know?
The Thomas manufacturing company has been supplying its products to the Russian market for many years. All household appliances are distinguished by high build quality, maximum useful life and functionality. Thomas brand vacuum cleaners have the following advantages:
- High cleaning speed. Many housewives equate the process of cleaning floor coverings with a terribly tedious and time-consuming task. Thanks to Thomas vacuum cleaners, they can significantly reduce the time for wet cleaning of even a large cottage.
- High quality cleaning. Thomas vacuum cleaners, regardless of modification, perform their direct functions very well. After wet cleaning, carpets seem to experience a rebirth, as they amaze household members with their cleanliness and rich colors. That is why many cleaning companies use this technique in their work.
Thanks to unique filters, purified air comes out of its unit, which does not even contain foreign odors. This is very important for those families who keep pets, from which, even with good care, a specific “aroma” emanates.
What nuances should you pay attention to when choosing?
When planning to purchase a Thomas brand vacuum cleaner, each person should take into account the following nuances:
- If you plan to purchase a washing modification, you should be prepared for the fact that its cost will be an order of magnitude higher than traditional units.
- Washing vacuum cleaners are large in size, so you should first determine a place for storing it.
- It is worth understanding that after each wet cleaning, the device must be thoroughly cleaned of dirty water and then dried.
- For high-quality cleaning of premises, it is necessary to purchase devices with high power.
- You should pay attention to such points as the weight of the unit, its dimensions, and the features of aquafilters.
- Each modern modification should be equipped with additional nozzles and brushes, with which you can clean the premises more efficiently.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage, which has already been mentioned, is the possibility of wet cleaning of carpets and rugs, as well as upholstery of upholstered furniture; only high-pile carpets must be dried outside after treatment. In this area, there is no alternative to washing vacuum cleaners; they are also indispensable during repairs: collecting construction dust, traces of wallpaper glue from the floor, washing heating radiators - this is the job for such products.
Benefits include:
- Quick and easy removal of any dirt from horizontal surfaces.
- Carrying out dry cleaning and removing accidentally spilled liquids.
- Filtration with humidification of the air passing through the product, which is especially important for patients with asthma, as well as people suffering from allergies. The collected dust is securely held in the container.
- The ability to wash vertical surfaces and remove dust from upholstered furniture.
- Possibility of clearing small sewer blockages.
Many experts, despite the many positive qualities of washing vacuum cleaners, are in no hurry to call them universal equipment.
There are some disadvantages, but not many of them:
- such equipment will not be able to remove dirt from carpets with dense and high pile;
- after wet cleaning, moisture remains on the carpets and must be dried;
- the product must be washed thoroughly after each cleaning; this procedure takes at least 20 minutes;
- they consume a lot of electrical energy compared to standard analogues.
The conclusions are quite simple: washing vacuum cleaners easily remove dust and dirt from any surface; at the user’s request, they can perform dry cleaning, humidify and purify the air in the room, wash mirrors and glass, but the sizes of the products are sometimes slightly larger than standard analogues, so storing them in a small apartment is very difficult.
Vacuum cleaners for people prone to allergic reactions
Preparing the device for use
After a washing vacuum cleaner has been purchased, its owner must properly prepare the aquafilter for use:
- To avoid damaging the lid and hinge, you should hold it with your hand when installing the aquafilter.
- Before turning on the device, you must check whether a tank intended for dirty water is installed in a special compartment.
- It is necessary to install a water filter part into the dirty water collection (the design is equipped with a porous filter and a suction cube).
- The owner of the device must pour a liter of water into the dirt container before starting cleaning.
- After this, the unit is connected to the electrical network and the liquid with detergent begins to spread over the floor surfaces.
All modern modifications of Thompson brand vacuum cleaners are reliable and durable devices equipped with durable housings, capacitive tanks and additional components. If a person cannot decide on a model, he should seek advice from professionals.
Instructions for use
Each Thomas vacuum cleaner comes with an instruction manual. This or that model may have its own characteristics, but standard units, from the point of view of the vacuum cleaner manual, do not cause any difficulties.
How to assemble
Before starting work, you need to properly assemble the vacuum cleaner. This is especially true for washing models, where it is important that not only the aquafilter is installed correctly, but also the container for collecting dirty water.
All components of the aquafilter must be in place. In the suction pipe of its hinged cover, the aqua sprayer must not only be installed, but recessed all the way. This is necessary for the filter to function properly, since during operation a fairly powerful flow passes through it.
To ensure that the sprayer is oriented correctly, there are plastic molded projections, and the part itself has a cutout corresponding to the middle projection.
In the internal compartment of the device there should be a container for collecting dirty water, a HEPA filter, and a filter to protect the motor. Before starting work, pour clean water into the container.
Thomas washing vacuum cleaner: features, model overview and customer reviews
The German company Thomas produces reliable and safe high-quality equipment. Today in almost any store you can see washing vacuum cleaners from this manufacturer, which are capable of cleaning everything from ordinary floors and carpets to mirrors, windows and curtains. The units will wash not only horizontal, but also vertical surfaces. According to numerous reviews, customers are satisfied with the excellent, simple, reliable and long-lasting performance of washing vacuum cleaners with a Thomas water filter.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of Thomas washing vacuum cleaners is their versatility and high quality cleaning.
This technique is a good option for allergy sufferers and asthmatics, as it purifies the air in the room and humidifies it.
But not all models of washing vacuum cleaners are equipped with indicators for filling aqua filters. Although if you read customer reviews, you can come to the conclusion that there is no problem with this. Even an inexperienced user will understand when it is necessary to drain the used liquid, if only because the sound made by the operating device will change.
Comparison with competitors
The Thomas company is not the only manufacturer of washing vacuum cleaners. Before purchasing, you can compare its products with models from other brands.
Karcher equipment is the most popular on the Russian market. Its vacuum cleaners have higher performance characteristics, but the cost of the equipment is almost twice as high as the average market price of most models (just remember the Karcher Puzzi 10/1 model).
Samsung vacuum cleaners have proven themselves well. A suitable option is model SD9421. In terms of noise level and weight (almost 8 kg), it is no different from most Thomas models, but in terms of performance and quality of attachments it is slightly inferior.
How to use Thomas washing vacuum cleaners?
Thomas multifunctional devices are easy to clean, easy to operate and easy to maneuver. They have convenient rubberized buttons to turn on the unit and a long cord that allows you to clean large areas without changing sockets.
Vacuum cleaners with an aqua filter come in two types:
- Cylindrical - these are devices in which the clean water tank is located inside the housing. To change the water, you must first turn off the power to the device, after which you can remove the container.
- Horizontal units have water tanks that are attached to the rear of the body. These types of vacuum cleaners do not need to be unplugged when changing water. Simply remove the tank and change the water in it.
Devices with an aqua filter have a special water pump and two containers built into them. Clean water is poured into one , and dirty water is collected in the second. An aquabox acts as a filter, which is able to perform its functions only if water is poured into it.
Despite the fact that vacuum cleaners are called detergents, they also do an excellent job of dry cleaning, as evidenced by reviews of units from the manufacturer Thomas. Before starting work, it is enough to fill the aquabox with water to the minimum mark. to change the liquid in the tank after cleaning each room.
During wet cleaning, when washing floors and cleaning carpets, the surface is wetted under pressure with clean water, which is instantly sucked back in along with the dirt.

The Thomas washing vacuum cleaner is capable of efficiently cleaning carpets even with large piles. For such cleaning, a special nozzle is used, through which a washing solution under pressure penetrates the pile and cleans it.
HEPA-Carbon-box – a new product for emergency cleaning
The HEPA-Carbon-box container is a patented innovative system for hygienic cleaning in dry mode. This new product allows you to take advantage of the advantages of a bag filtration system, such as simplicity and constant readiness of the vacuum cleaner for work.
If you urgently need to vacuum something, install a HEPA-Carbon-box container. The special design of the container allows you to store a bag of dust for up to six months without harming the environment of the room.
In addition, the HEPA-Carbon-box system allows you to dispose of a bag of dust without touching the bag itself: just press the latch and it will fly out into the trash bin. This is especially important for allergy sufferers.
The HEPA-Carbon-box system can be purchased separately and retrofitted to any Thomas horizontal vacuum cleaner.
Assembling a vacuum cleaner with an aqua filter
Before using the device, it must first be assembled correctly. First, a transparent tank is filled with water to a certain mark, into which two caps of a special detergent are poured. After this, the container is installed in its place and secured.
The kit includes special nozzles that are suitable for washing smooth surfaces or carpets, for collecting water from the surface and drying the floor. By adding a special concentrate to the tank and putting on the necessary attachment, you can clean stains from carpeting, upholstered furniture, carpets and even heavy curtains.
Cleaning with the Thomas device is very gentle. With its help, you can perfectly wash and clean not only painted surfaces, glass, linoleum and tiles, but also water-sensitive laminate and parquet.

Purpose and principle of operation
Thomas washing vacuum cleaners are produced in a bright design, which emphasizes the company's innovative approach to this product. Advanced technologies patented by the company unite all models of washing devices, regardless of their design features.
Such technologies include:
- WET-JET function – it works to neutralize and collect the maximum amount of dust using tiny drops of water.
- Aqua-Box is a way to collect dust, pet hair and other allergens and debris into a reservoir of water, thereby avoiding re-spraying them into the air. The company installs such filters on vacuum cleaners designed for wet and dry cleaning at the same time.

Thanks to their design, vacuum cleaners easily overcome obstacles that other models cannot always cope with - thresholds, wires stretched directly along the floor.
Each model has a standard 1.8L external reservoir. Without it, wet vacuuming is impossible, since clean water or diluted concentrate is poured here.
Consumer Reviews
I really don't like washing floors by hand, and modern mops with a rag wringer break quickly. Therefore, I decided to buy myself a washing vacuum cleaner and, based on numerous positive reviews, chose the Thomas model Twin T1. There were also negative comments about it, but not about the work, but about the fact that it is a heavy unit that is not easy to wash and takes a long time to assemble. I didn’t pay attention to them and bought myself a miracle helper.
Now I don’t wet a rag in a bowl of dirty water, which leaves stains. While washing the floors, my device sucks up all the dirt, which I then flush into the toilet. It is, of course, a little heavy, but a powerful technique cannot be light! You will need to tinker a little when assembling and disassembling it, but this is nothing compared to cleaning the apartment with a rag. I am very glad to have such an assistant.
Recently my husband gave me a Thomas Twin TT Aquafilter vacuum cleaner to make cleaning the apartment easier. Of course, after using it, the house is very clean and fresh, which is good, especially for allergy sufferers. Now you don’t have to run around with a rag in your hands and do wet cleaning. The device will collect dust, debris and clean the floors. We have three cats that produce a lot of fur. The vacuum cleaner saves us, however, it has a small attachment that does not collect hair very thoroughly. In addition, the unit is quite heavy. If I had just skated him, everything would have been fine. But we have to drag it over the thresholds in our house.
After cleaning, the vacuum cleaner must be cleaned, which I began to do well quite recently. I pour the dirty water into the toilet, and rinse all the tanks and other parts under a powerful stream from the shower. I don’t wash anything with my hands, everything is washed under water pressure and drains by itself. It is imperative to wash the hose, inside of which a lot of dirt accumulates. Otherwise, the traction will soon disappear.
Two years ago, when choosing a washing vacuum cleaner in an Eldorado store, a consultant advised me to purchase the Thomas Twin T2 model. During its use, I have never regretted my purchase. This is an anti-allergenic unit that collects dust during cleaning, rather than chasing it throughout the apartment. Some reviews write that it is difficult to wash. I can handle this procedure in five minutes. After the first cleaning with a washing vacuum cleaner, I was very surprised how much dirt there was in my rooms. Therefore, now I use the device quite often, since I have a small child. Two years have passed and the internal replacement lips are still like new. The only drawback is that the unit is quite large, but we have a loggia where I store it.
After the birth of our baby, I decided to purchase a washing vacuum cleaner. Having studied the market offers and reviews, I chose the Thomas equipment of the Vestfalia XT model. This is a compact device, which at that time was expensive. Our apartment has upholstered furniture and laminate floors. The vacuum cleaner cleans and rinses all this very well. Even the air becomes fresh after cleaning.
At first I used it every day, but the contents of the transparent container with water were still dirty every time. I don’t carry the device on myself, but it is still quite heavy, and for those who have a two-story house, it will not be easy to carry the equipment. We have a medium-sized apartment, while cleaning it I fill the device with water three times and empty the dirty water from the aquabox twice. The vacuum cleaner fits in the closet in the hallway, which is very convenient.
If there are rugs or carpets in the house, then, in addition to regularly vacuuming them, they must be washed every month. For these purposes I use washing vacuum cleaners. I recently replaced an outdated model with a new one. I purchased a Thomas Twin T2 Aquafilter unit. It is compact, so it fits easily into our closet. With its help, I not only wash floors and carpets, but also clean up animal hair, collect liquids spilled on the floor, and do wet cleaning. True, it has a very narrow nozzle in the sprayer, from which water sprays only 5–7 cm of the surface. The previous model had a special nozzle with good spraying.
I really like the fact that this device has a partition installed, which prevents the HEPA filter from getting dirty. After each cleaning, all parts must be washed, which many people do not like. I don't see anything difficult in this. If you are not lazy, then everything can be done quickly. But after cleaning, the apartment will be sparkling clean and the smell of dust will disappear!
