Cleanliness is the key to health. It is difficult to argue with this statement. Especially the impact of dirt and dust on human health is noticeable in large industrial cities. In some cases, even the most thorough cleaning does not help to remove unpleasant odors, get rid of the feeling of stale air and stuffiness. In this case, an air ionizer comes to the rescue. Its principle of operation is to saturate the air with negatively charged ions. As a result, indoor air becomes clean and fresh. Let’s figure it out, is the air ionizer really as useful as they say about it?
Positive properties
The number of positive charged ions is negatively affected by such factors:
the number of household appliances and electrons;
air pollution level (exhaust gases, industrial emissions, etc.).
Symptoms of a lack of negative ions in the air are: insomnia, decreased performance, general weakness of the body, pale complexion, heavy breathing, migraine and increased fatigue.
Ionizers are also used in medicine. As a result of exposure to negative ions, pain sensitivity decreases, the condition of the skin and hair improves, nails grow faster and become stronger. Used in complex therapy in the treatment of various ailments associated with diseases of the central nervous system, circulatory disorders and asthma attacks.
Of course, the use of the device does not replace proper nutrition, moderate physical activity, regular walks in parks and squares.
Pros:
reduction of general fatigue;
improving the condition of the skin and hair;
increase in working capacity;
slowing down the aging process;
reducing the negative impact from the operation of household electrical appliances;
increased immunity;
development of body resistance to viruses and bacteria;
improving the quality of sleep;
elimination of unpleasant odors in the room;
increase in metabolic processes in the body.
It is believed that the air ionizer is able to attract the smallest particles of dust and allergens, extracting them from the surrounding air. This makes the unit very useful for allergy sufferers and people suffering from diseases of the respiratory system.
Important:
All useful properties are manifested only with the correct use of these devices. Otherwise, you can get the opposite effect.
Negative effect on the body
The work of an air ionizer can harm the human body. To prevent this from happening, you must follow certain rules, which we will discuss below. Among the negative properties of this device are the following:
Accumulation of dirt around the range of the device. This point is a direct consequence of the property of the ionizer to charge various particles. Particles of dust and various microflora in the air also receive their part of the processing. Therefore, after using the ionizer, wet cleaning should be carried out.
Increased transmission of viruses. If there is a person suffering from an airborne disease in a room with a working ionizer, the people around him are at increased risk. In treated air, the infection will spread at lightning speed. To minimize this factor, modern ionizers additionally have a disinfection function.
“Electric Discharges”. In rooms where the ionizer is used frequently and for a long time, static electricity accumulates. It will not bring harm to the human body, but it can harm technology.
Ozone production. It is a strong oxidizing agent, used in medicine for disinfection. The high content of ozone has an adverse effect on the mucous membranes, including the lungs. During operation of the device, it is better not to be near it.
Increased metabolism. This effect can be useful, for example, for those who wish to lose weight. But for people suffering from cancer, the acceleration of metabolism will not bring benefits. Diseased cells will begin to divide intensively and the course of the disease will worsen.
In addition to the listed properties of the ionizer, there are other contraindications:
increased body temperature;
pneumonia, tuberculosis, acute respiratory infections and other pulmonary diseases;
recovery period after operations or serious illnesses;
children under the age of one year;
rheumatoid arthritis;
severe diseases of the central nervous system;
individual intolerance to ionized air.
For various diseases, it is worth consulting with your doctor before you start using the device. And also the ionizer must have all the necessary quality certificates.
How to use
What are the benefits and harms of an air ionizer, we have already found out. But you also need to know how to use it correctly in order to minimize the risks and not harm your health. How exactly? Let’s see:
To install the ionizer, you should choose a place where you spend a lot of time. It can be a bedroom, a desktop or a shelf in an office.
Before turning on the device, wipe it first with a damp and then with a dry cloth. So you can remove a significant amount of dust that the device attracts to itself.
It is important to remember that the ionizer does not produce oxygen, but only charges it. Therefore, no one canceled regular airing.
Close all windows in the room before operating the device.
After turning on the ionizer, leave the room for about half an hour. It is not recommended to be near a working device.
In no case do not smoke near the ionizer or in the room where it is located. This can only provoke additional health problems.
If, while using the ionizer, you begin to feel anxiety, nervousness, or any discomfort, turn off the device and do not use it for a while. In the future, try to leave the room during the procedure.
Use only modern devices that work in tandem with an air purifier. Such a tandem is able to make the air in the room truly fresh, comfortable and clean.
Air purifiers are used to eliminate dampness, mold, tobacco smoke and other odors in the room, remove allergens and bacteria, and improve the quality of the air you breathe. I have studied the purifiers on the market today, owner reviews and expert reviews to choose the best models for 2022.. Also, when selecting air purifiers, I paid attention to such characteristics as performance, operating modes, filtration system and the availability of additional options for air purification.

Above there is a touch control panel with a display. But you can also control the operation of the cleaner through the application and voice assistants.
What are air purifiers?
The device and principle of operation of this device are quite simple – the air cleaner drives air flows through the filters inside itself. All sorts of contaminants settle on the filters of the device. Often, an air purifier for the home is equipped with an ionizer, and also additionally disinfects or flavors the air.
The filters that are installed in household cleaners are different:
electrostatic or plasma – trap dust particles;
photocatalytice – remove an unpleasant odor, tobacco smoke, microspores of fungi and mold;
HEPA filters – help in the fight against dust and allergens;
Carbon filters – mechanically screen out dust and other microparticles, well purify the air from odors;
Ionizers – serve to disinfect and improve the condition of the body as a whole.
In modern high-quality appliances, a multi-stage air flow system is used – several different filters are installed at once, which provides comprehensive cleaning, disinfection and humidification of air for the home.
Important:
When choosing a device for your home, give preference to models with an air ionization function. Otherwise, you and your family will constantly inhale the so-called “dead” air – such a microclimate loses its natural charge and becomes harmful to all living things in the room.
If you need both purification and humidification of the air inside an apartment or house, you can choose an air washer for yourself. It is more bulky, but does not require the cost of consumables and replaceable filters. It is enough just to add water to the tank and periodically clean the spinning discs through which air is driven.
How to choose a good air purifier
Here are a few criteria that will help you choose the right air purifier model for your apartment or house.
Air volumes. For an hour of work, a good cleaner must pass through itself three volumes of the room in which it is located. We calculate the volume of the room and multiply by three – this is the desired indicator for your purifier.
Power. Directly affects the speed and intensity of the device. But if you want the cleaner to work all the time, pay attention to low-power models.
Problems that the device will deal with. Depending on the task that you set for the device, choose the filtration of the purifier. And then, you can always enjoy clean and fresh air in your home.
Additional functions. The presence of a display, indicators of water level or filter contamination, a timer, backlight, ultraviolet radiation, flavoring – all this increases the purchase price, but also makes the operation of the device more comfortable. From customer reviews, we can conclude that it is really worth overpaying for controlled air humidification, and all other functions of purifiers and humidifiers are not of decisive importance.
Important:
Remember, any device requires maintenance and cleaning. Some filters need to be washed or changed quite often (electrostatic, carbon), and some less often (photocatalytic).
It’s time to decide on the brand and model of the best device for cleaning the air in the house.
Rating of the most popular manufacturers of household air cleaning equipment

The lower the temperature outside the window drops, the more often we think about how to warm the room until the central heating turns on. This question is especially of concern to those who cannot count on common boiler rooms at all, and are forced to heat their homes on their own.
A wide range of heating appliances often puts us in front of a difficult choice. How to choose the right heater for an apartment, cottage or large country house? What are they and what should you pay attention to when buying? We will look at the answers to these and other questions below.
Oil heaters
Such heaters are great for heating not too large rooms. An oil cooler is a small battery that is filled with special mineral oil. Also inside there are one or more heating elements with the help of which the heating takes place. Outwardly, they are similar to traditional cast-iron batteries, consisting of several sections. The more of them, the more heat the heater is able to give.
Some oil coolers have built-in fans. They disperse warm air around the room, and heating occurs faster.
Sometimes you can find oil coolers of a slightly different design. They are a single or double sealed panel filled with oil. The surface area of such a device is lower compared to “batteries”. This means that it will warm up the room much longer. However, at the same time, it takes up much less space and can be used in small spaces.
Like all heaters, oil batteries have both advantages and disadvantages. The first ones include:
Most heaters are equipped with a thermostat. It allows you not to “burn” electricity for nothing, but to set the air temperature in the room, upon reaching which the device will turn off on its own.
Many models are equipped with a timer. Thus, you can program the heater to turn on at a specific time.
Pretty democratic value.
Compactness and mobility. Most models are equipped with special legs and wheels. With their help, you can place the device in any convenient place.
Hot oil takes a long time to cool down. So the heater will give off heat for a long time after it is disconnected from the network.
Models without a fan operate completely silently.
There are also many disadvantages of oil heating radiators. The main one is that the surface of the battery gets very hot. So it should not be placed in those rooms where there are small children. An oil heater weighs a lot. In addition, it takes quite a long time to reach operating temperature. So if you want to quickly warm up the room, this option will not work. Well, the main drawback: oil heaters can not be called economical. They consume quite a lot of energy.
Convection heaters
The device of such a device is subject to the laws of physics and is based on the phenomenon of convection. Everyone knows that cold air is heavier than warm air, which means it is located closer to the floor. It gets through the lower grate of the heater to powerful heating elements, heats up and naturally rises to the ceiling. Meanwhile, the process is repeated from the beginning.
Depending on the type of fastening, convectors can be divided into 4 main categories:
Wall. They have a nice design and can serve as an additional decoration of the interior. Most often they are placed under the window like conventional batteries.
Floor. They have additional legs or wheels, thanks to which they can easily move in any direction.
Embedded. Differ in the complexity of installation. They are built into pre-prepared niches in the floor and are used for additional heating of rooms with large panoramic windows.
Ceiling. They are installed, like wall-mounted ones, only at the top, on the ceiling.
Depending on the type and source of heating, convection heaters are divided into the following types:
Gas. Often used for heating industrial premises of a large area. Rarely used in the residential sector.
Water. In some cases, they require additional equipment: pipelines and a hot water boiler.
Electrical. The most popular option for houses and apartments. They do not require the installation of additional equipment, are easy to maintain and install.
Some convection heaters are equipped with additional fans. This contributes to better air circulation and allows you to warm up the room well in a relatively short time.
The advantages of such devices include:
Relative quiet operation (if there is no additional fan).
The presence of a built-in thermostat that provides independent switching on and off of heaters at the right time.
Overheating alarm relay.
relative safety. The surface temperature of the heater rarely exceeds 65 degrees. So getting burned is unlikely.
Ease of use, especially for outdoor models. You don’t need to install anything, just plug it into a power outlet.
They are quite economical and consume a quarter of energy less than their oil counterparts.
The downsides of such devices, though a little, but they still exist.
Firstly, with their help it is difficult to warm up very large rooms. A portion of warm air will cool down before the next one heats up. So they are not suitable for rooms with high ceilings.
And secondly, the convection type of heaters is not suitable for people suffering from various forms of allergies. Constant air circulation creates drafts, which contributes to the active movement of dust particles and household mites around the room.
Infrared heating units
This is one of the most modern types of climate technology. Their principle of operation is based on the emission of infrared waves of various ranges. A good infrared heater can be compared to a bright sun warming us on a summer day. Inside the heaters there are special lamps made of quartz, carbon or halogen. Air is evacuated inside the tubes and there are tungsten or carbon fiber filaments. Behind the tubes is a mirror or polished metal reflector. The front is covered with a mesh panel.
Unlike all other heating devices, infrared heaters do not warm the air, but the surrounding objects. Already they, in turn, transfer heat into space.
Like convection, these devices come in different mounting methods. They can be placed under the ceiling or hung on the wall. And you can prefer a portable floor option. It is also good because it can be taken out, for example, to the veranda. Since the rays heat objects and scatter in the air, they are not afraid of any drafts or wind. Thus, this is the only device that can effectively warm you in open areas.
Advantages of infrared heaters:
Very economical consumption of electrical energy.
Perfect noiselessness during operation.
They can work without moving air in space, which means they are ideal for allergy sufferers.
When you turn on the heater, it will become warm in just a few seconds. You don’t have to wait until the room warms up completely.
The territory warms up simultaneously in all directions. It all depends on where exactly the rays are directed.
Disadvantages of devices:
Care should be taken when choosing a powerful shortwave instrument. If the calculations are made incorrectly, headaches may occur. They should never be used in rooms with low ceilings. They are intended mainly for outdoor use.
High-quality infrared heaters have a higher cost compared to other types of climate technology.
fan heaters
Traditional thermal fans are considered to be the most democratic in terms of cost and easy to operate. They are installed on a table or on the floor and are able to provide fairly quick heating of the air in the room.
The variety of such heaters is small. It all depends on what kind of heating element is installed inside. They can be:
Open spiral – heating temperature is about 700-800 degrees.
Tubular heater – heating more than 200-250 degrees.
Ceramic plate – no more than 190 degrees.
Devices with an open coil, of course, warm up the room faster, but they burn oxygen and pollute the room with combustion products of dust and other small particles. In this case, it is best to prefer a model with a ceramic plate. The heat from it will be the same, but the smell is much less.
To quickly warm up the room, many models are equipped with an additional rotary device. In this case, they are able to distribute warm air 180 around them.
With all their positive qualities, fan heaters are quite buzzing, so that during long work they can cause headaches.
What options to choose?
So which heater to buy for your home, office or cottage? What type to give preference?
Regardless of which option you prefer, you should first decide on some basic parameters. Perhaps their definition will help you make the right choice.
Accommodation
Underfloor heaters are the most popular. This design allows you to move the device to a convenient place or hide it in the pantry until the next time.
Fixed wall or ceiling placement is necessary when the instrument is to be used permanently. In this case, the inclusion will be made with one click, and the wires will not get tangled underfoot.
Power
In the general case, this parameter is selected at the rate of 0.1 kW per 1 square meter of the room. That is, 1.5 kW is enough to heat a room of 15 m2.
The presence of a thermostat
The presence of this device allows you to maintain the set temperature automatically. Thermostats are electronic and mechanical. The first sets the parameters more precisely, but can be damaged by random power drops in the network. The second is much more durable, but its accuracy rarely exceeds 2 degrees.
In order not to spoil the electronic thermostat, it is necessary to install an additional protection system against voltage surges.
Additional functions
Many models of climate technology have additional options designed to provide the desired degree of comfort and safety. These include:
waterproof case;
protection against overheating or freezing;
various timers;
rollover shutdown;
ionizers or humidifiers.
By themselves, they should not be a decisive criterion in the choice, but they can tip the scales to one side or another, other things being equal.
Which is better to choose?
Choosing a heater for your home is not an easy task. It is difficult to give advice on this matter. It all depends on what kind of room should be heated and how quickly it needs to be done.
For example, a fan heater with a ceramic plate is suitable for installation in a nursery. All other options should be used exclusively under parental supervision or placed under the ceiling.
For the bedroom, it is best not to use models that have a built-in fan. Their noise will be annoying during sleep. In this case, an oil cooler or a conventional electric convector is best suited.
If you come to the country for a short time and want to quickly feel comfortable, a portable infrared model is the best fit. With it you will be quite comfortable both in the house and in the yard.
In general, if you correctly determine exactly where and how often the device will be used, then the answer to the question of which heater to choose for the house for the cold season will be found by itself.
The year is coming to an end, the main players have already released their new products, and we can sum up the preliminary results. For this rating, I have selected the 10 best robot vacuum cleaners that can be purchased on Aliexpress in 22. The presented models differ from each other in design, suction power, navigation, functionality and cost. There are also simple robots for 10-16 thousandh – they are suitable for work in one-room apartments, there are also multifunctional machines for 40-60 thousand rubles – these vacuum cleaners are no worse than a hand-held vacuum cleaner, and the floors are washed at the level of a polisher. Therefore, everyone can find something for themselves. Recently, prices for Ali have not been lower than on Yandex.Market, so I recommend looking at the rating of the best robots in 2022.
Table of participants in the rating of robotic vacuum cleaners from Aliexpress 2022
ILIFE V7s Plus
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.3 l
equipment: electric brush, side brush
battery life: up to 120 min
add. functions: programming by days of the week
design features: soft bumper, built-in clock
Unlocks ILIFE V7s Plus rating. One of the most frequently sold models of 2018, it is still in high demand. The popularity of the robot is explained by an affordable price tag of 10 thousand rubles. Before us is a classic robot vacuum cleaner with a soft touch bumper, which is responsible for navigation.: V7s Plus moves in a straight line, detects an obstacle with IR sensors or hits a bumper, then changes direction and drives to the next obstacle.
There are others movement modes: along walls and in a spiral. You can activate them using the remote control. Of the working tools, the robot has an end whisk and a turbo brush, but it will not cope with deep cleaning of the carpet – the suction power is only enough to collect surface debris. If you install a water tank in place of the dust collector, the robot will be able to wipe the floors. The height of the body is only 84 mm, so the robot can easily pass under the furniture.
works quietly;
compact body;
simple control;
large tank (300 ml);
the turbo brush is disassembled for ease of maintenance;
remote control holder in the docking station.
weak motor;
primitive navigation;
one end brush;
no adjustment of power and wetting;
low reliability.
The basic version of the robot vacuum cleaner, which is only suitable for preventive cleaning in small apartments. Due to the weak navigation system, it is advisable to launch the robot in each room separately. The main problem with this model is that it is obsolete. Most modern economy-class robots are equipped with a gyroscope, suck up heavy particles of debris and connect to a smartphone.
ABIR X6
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.6 l
cleaning area: 150 m2
Smart control
automatic return to charging base
continuous operation time 120 min
The ninth place is occupied by ABIR X6. Budget vacuum cleaner with camera and gyroscope. The camera reads the outlines of the ceilings and determines the layout of the apartment, and the gyroscope tells the robot its position in space. Already after the first launch, it draws a map in the application, and then gradually refines it. Cleaning is carried out in zigzags without re-passage through the treated areas. On the map, you can specify target areas and put virtual walls. Two end brushes extend the coverage of the surface in one pass up to 350 mm. The motor was placed in the dust collector, so the suction force was brought up to 2500 Pa. This is enough to draw in hair, sand and grains.
The 2600 mAh battery provides up to 2 hours of quiet operation. If necessary, a 360 ml water tank can be installed in place of the dust collector, then he can mop the floors. The fluid supply is controlled by a built-in pump. Despite the large number of sensors and microcircuits, the body of the robot is miniature – 76×300 mm. It maneuvers well between the legs of the chair, passes under the bathtub, radiator and in other hard-to-reach places. The price tag is modest – 16 thousand rubles.

weak battery;
separate dry and wet cleaning;
inconvenient to clean the dust collector;
fixed turbo brush frame.
ABIR X6 is suitable for medium-sized homes with a simple layout and moderate levels of pollution. Unlike ILIFE V7s Plus, it processes the room systematically, leaves no gaps, offers more control options, and vacuums carpets better. Wet cleaning here is no longer just a marketing ploy, but a very real, albeit auxiliary, function. The mop leaves a uniform trail and efficiently collects surface dust.
XIAOMI MIJIA 1C
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.6 l
add. functions: building a map of the room, a signal when the battery is low
smartphone control
operating modes: zigzag movement, local cleaning, movement along the walls
continuous operation time 90 min
The eighth place is occupied by XIAOMI MIJIA 1C. Although it has been three years since the release of MIJIA 1C, it is still one of the best camera robots. XIAOMI managed to find the perfect combination of price and quality: MIJIA 1C has a corporate design in a minimalist style, powerful motor (2500 Pa) and at the same time a modest price tag of 15 thousand rubles. And after last year’s update, the robot received an interactive map on which you can set target, restricted areas and virtual walls. After saving the map, the smart vacuum cleaner automatically divides the apartment into rooms, whose borders can be changed in the editor. At any time, the assistant can be sent to the bedroom, living room and to any other location.
For contact processing of the coating, it is armed with an end brush and a floating turbo brush.. It adapts to the contour of the floor, ensuring a secure fit of the socket in all areas. The water tank comes separately. This made it possible to increase the volume of the dust collector to 600 ml. The robot can also vacuum and mop floors at the same time. The 2400 mAh battery provides up to 1.5 hours of quiet operation.

small tank volume (180 ml);
minimum equipment;
fear of black surfaces.
This is a balanced vacuum cleaner for small apartments. It copes with any garbage that the dog brings home, cleans carpets from wool, draws sand from cracks up to 2 mm deep. Unlike ABIR X6, MIJIA 1C can vacuum and mop floors at the same time, which cuts the time for complex cleaning in half. But the most important thing is robot from Xiaomi can be sent to any room with the touch of a fingerwhich is more convenient than constantly drawing geometric shapes on the map.
360 S7
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.5 l
suction power – 2000 Pa
smartphone control
equipped with lidar
continuous operation time 120 min
In seventh place is 360 S7. Another representative of the classics, which has retained its relevance to this day. 360 S7 is equipped with lidar, so it builds and stores a map after the first cycle of work. In total, up to 10 cards are stored in memory – the option is useful for multi-level houses. In addition to the IR sensors, a TOF sensor is built into the bumper so that the assistant can drive faster along the walls. In the application, you can change the boundaries of rooms, give them familiar names, draw rectangular sectors, and restricted areas for dry and wet cleaning. It is not necessary to encircle carpets with restricted areas, it recognizes them and automatically bypasses them. with a mop installed.
The nominal suction power is 2000 Pa, but in terms of the quality of garbage collection, the robot will not yield to analogues with 2500 Pa. To make him wipe the floors, just fasten a 150 ml tank under the bottom. The battery is not the most powerful (3000 mAh), but it is enough for an average apartment. Depending on the power, the vacuum cleaner processes from 50 to 100 sq. m per working cycle. At the start of sales for 360 S7, they asked for more than 30 thousand rubles, and today you can take it on Ali for 18,500 rubles.

Purpose 360 S7 – dry cleaning. The robot efficiently collects wool, seeds and large debris such as building blocks or small stones. Unlike MIJIA 1C 360 S7, it changes the motor power depending on the floor covering, which allows you to save battery power more economically. The 360 robot navigates better in rooms with complex layoutsbut during wet cleaning it is impossible to leave it unattended.
NEATSVOR X600 Pro
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.6 l
suction power – 6000 Pa
smartphone control
three filters (mesh, foam and HEPA filter)
continuous operation time 120 min
In sixth place is the most powerful robot on the market NEATSVOR X600 Pro. The manufacturer claims a suction power of 6000 Pa. In fact, this figure is half, or even three times less, but NEATSVOR copes with dry cleaning better than analogues in its price range. This is advantageously achieved by means of a second end brush. The difference compared to “one-armed” robots is noticeable on a smooth floor and thin carpet. The garbage falls into the dust collector with a volume of 600 ml. Three filters are installed inside (mesh, foam rubber and HEPA filter), so even fine dust will remain inside the container.
If you replace the dust collector with a tank (350 ml), it will be able to clean the floors in the entire apartment. The robot controls the water supply and not only collects surface dust, but also scrubs dried shoe marks. The WeBack application is used for control. On the compiled map, you can draw rectangles for local cleaning, set up virtual walls and restricted areas. The manufacturer did not save on the battery – a 5200 mAh lithium-ion battery is installed in the compartment under the case. Taking into account the described technical characteristics, the price tag is low – 22–26 thousand rubles.

NEATSVOR X600 Pro is not as cool as the manufacturer makes it out to be, but better than most analogues. It has cheaper plastic than the 360 S7 and a less functional application, but it can work in large areas, picks up debris more efficiently on smooth surfaces and cleans floors much better. If the result of the work is more important to you, then it is better to take NEATSVOR, if the quality of workmanship and ease of use, you can return to the 360 S7.
YEEDI 2 HYBRID
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.24 l
suction power – 2500 Pa
smartphone control
battery: 5200 mAh
continuous operation time 200 min
The top five is opened by YEEDI 2 HYBRID. Instead of lidar, the manufacturer equipped the robot with a panoramic camera, so it won in size: the body height is 77 mm versus 100 mm for models with lidar, and almost did not lose in navigation. After three cycles of work, the vacuum cleaner remembers the map, you can select rooms on it, draw zones for different types of cleaning. YEEDI has a modern working unit: with guides for wool, protection against socks, with a floating turbo brushwhich is disassembled on one side.
Rated suction force 2500 Pa, but since the design was borrowed from Ecovacs, the actual power is higher. It gets sand out of deep crevices, collects heavy debris and cleans even medium-sized carpets with high quality. Air passes three-stage filtrationfree from allergens and mold spores. A 240 ml tank with a dense napkin is inserted into a separate slot at the back. The battery is the same as the NEATSVOR X600 Pro – 5200 mAh. On Aliexpress, YEEDI 2 HYBRID is offered for 22 thousand rubles.

cleaning in the selected room;
processes black coatings;
powerful engine;
modern turbo brush design;
two end brushes;
independent location of the tank.
good passability under furniture;
no spare accessories included;

no automatic power boost on carpets.
This is a versatile robot vacuum cleaner that perfectly copes with complex cleaning in a large one-level apartment.. If the 360 S7 boasted ease of operation, and the NEATSVOR X600 Pro boasted high efficiency, then YEEDI 2 HYBRID combines both of these parameters. Unlike competitors with a lidar turret, YEEDI maneuvers much better in a cluttered room.
Proscenic M8 PRO
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.28 l
Base with automatic cleaning function
smartphone control
IPNAS 4.0 technology
continuous operation time 120 min
Fourth place goes to Proscenic M8 PRO. Let’s get back to robots with lidar. One of the brightest representatives of this family is Proscenic M8 PRO. The robot is perfectly oriented in space, avoids oncoming obstacles and moves around the house according to the markings on the map. In a proprietary application, you can rename rooms and zone the room in any way. Its engine is one of the most powerful on the market – 3000 Pa. This suction is sufficient for high-quality cleaning of low-pile carpets and collecting cereals from a smooth floor.
Combined type robot container: 300 ml tank with dust compartment and triple filtration. In the floor polisher mode, the vacuum cleaner changes the trajectory of movement from an S-shaped to a Y-shaped, which helps it scrub off the dirt stuck to the floor. But the main trump card of this model is a self-cleaning station, to which he periodically ships the collected garbage. The power of 1050 W is enough to clean the dust containerand to draw out the dust collected on the filters. You can buy an independent assistant for 37 thousand rubles.
self-cleaning;
advanced cartography functionality;
high suction power;
control panel on the docking station;
complex cleaning;
polisher mode.
no Russian voice package;
the brush is disassembled on one side only;
fixed frame of the working block;
thin napkin;
The water level in the tank is hard to see through the matte plastic.
Proscenic M8 PRO is a premium robot vacuum that does all three well: major dry cleaning, wiping the floor or comprehensive cleaning of the house. In terms of the design of the working block, it is slightly inferior to YEEDI 2 HYBRID, but it surpasses it in navigation and completely frees the user from the routine of emptying the container. For allergy sufferers, this can be a significant factor. True, before buying, you need to consider that the Proscenic application has not yet been translated into Russian.
ROIDMI EVE Plus
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.3 l
suction power average: 2700 Pa
smartphone control
touchscreen
continuous operation time 200 min
The third place is occupied by ROIDMI EVE Plus Robot with self-cleaning station from Xiaomi sub-brand. This can be guessed both by its name and by the quality of execution. It immediately gives the impression of a premium vacuum cleaner, which it is. Navigation is implemented in the same way as other models with a laser rangefinder, but the motor power and water supply intensity can be set for each room separately. Suction power average – 2700 Pabut thanks to the well-thought-out design of the bottom, ROIDMI copes with cleaning more efficiently than its counterparts.
Two end brushes reduce particle dispersion on hard floors, and the central brush “floats” and disassembles from two sides, without causing unnecessary trouble with maintenance. For wet cleaning, you can activate the Y-shaped mode, then the robot will mop the floors in a herringbone pattern. The self-cleaning station is compact – the docking port is located in the depth, so the parked vacuum cleaner takes up less space. There are no control buttons on the station, but there is a touch screen. On Aliexpress, the price tag for this model ranges from 31 to 37 thousand rubles.
exquisite design;
xiaomi quality;
modern design;
special settings for each room;
rational navigation;
low noise level (54–61 dB).
poor-quality translation of the application;
250 ml tank – smaller than Proscenic M8 PRO;
mediocre wet cleaning;
no spare end brushes.
Similar to the Proscenic M8 PRO in many ways: similar design, self-cleaning and cleaning functionality. But the ROIDMI body is made of more expensive plastic, there is no Russian language in the application, and the design of this vacuum cleaner is more successful. Therefore, it copes with cleaning better, even despite the lower suction power. If you manage to find it for 31 thousand rubles, you need to take it without hesitation: this is the best robot with a cleaning station in this price segment.
Roborock S7
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.5 l
suction power: 2500 Pa
smartphone control
cleaning and absorbent brush
continuous operation time 200 min
Silver is taken by a new generation robot from Roborock model S7. This is the only vacuum cleaner on the market that lifts the mop on carpets. The advantage of this technology is that the assistant can do a comprehensive cleaning with one start, vacuum the carpets and wash the floors. The need for detailed zoning of the room also disappears, although if necessary, it is quite simple to do this – carpets are displayed on the map. During dry cleaning, it cleans floors with a rubber roller and sweeps dirt from corners with a 5-beam brush.
Taking into account the improved design of the working unit, the suction force of 2500 Pa is enough to pull out the dust that has settled in the carpet. And during wet cleaning, the central part of the mop vibrates, removing stubborn dirt.. Vibration frequency, suction power and water flow can be adjusted individually for each room. At a discount, you can pick up a high-tech vacuum cleaner for 39,400 rubles, and for a fee you can purchase a self-cleaning station. The Roborock S7 has a rather original one: firstly, it has its own HEPA filter, and secondly, it can work without a bag.

One of two candidates for the title of best vacuum cleaner 2022. Unlike the previous representatives of the rating, this is a truly innovative vacuum cleaner that can make life much easier for its owner, especially if you take a self-cleaning station. The difference in cleaning quality compared to competitors can be seen on the example of a door mat: a regular vacuum cleaner will only pick up wool and crumbs, while the Roborock S7 will also pull out sand. The first step towards a handheld vacuum cleaner.
ECOVACS DEEBOT T9 AIVI Plus
Characteristics
cleaning type: dry and wet
dust container volume: 0.5 l
suction power: 4000 Pa
smartphone control
bagless
continuous operation time 60 min
And now we have reached the leader of the rating – this is ECOVACS DEEBOT T9 AIVI Plus. For navigation, it is equipped with lidar and a front camera. Lidar helps to build a map. It supports 3D mode – you just need to arrange virtual furniture and you can enjoy the three-dimensional picture. The camera recognizes objects on the floor and helps you choose the right route: go around excrement, wires, socks, carefully handle furniture legs, pots, boxes. The claimed suction power is 3000 Pa: by the standards of Ecovacs, this is a very powerful motor that will actually give odds to any “monster” with a 4000 Pa engine. The Ecovacs working unit was copied from the American Roomba i7 – two extractor rollers rotating in opposite directions. Such a system is effective even on medium-pile carpets, and rollers polish hard floors to a shine.
To wash the floors, there is a module with a vibrating mop. Garbage accumulates in a dust collector with triple filtration (mesh, foam rubber, HEPA filter), so the robot combines the function of an air purifier. If necessary, you can insert a special tablet into the slot on the tank, then the vacuum cleaner will emit a pleasant aroma. The second unique feature is blowing dust off the body of the vacuum cleaner so that it always looks beautiful. A kit with a self-cleaning station will cost 65 thousand rubles.

DEEBOT T9 AIVI Plus combines all modern technological advances. It not only deep cleans carpets like the Roborock S7, but also recognizes objects, which greatly improves the usability in homes with furry residents and children. Wet cleaning here is implemented at the level of a professional polisher. If only the central segment of the mop moves with Roborock, then with DEEBOT the entire mop moves back and forth, so the quality of wiping is even higher. This is the perfect robot vacuum cleaner for anyone who can afford one.
Washing machines with a steam function are gaining more and more popularity, as this is a relatively newfangled device that greatly simplifies the washing process. The peculiarity of such a machine is that the steam in it replaces washing chemicals, which should primarily be of interest to allergy sufferers. For the first time such a washing machine was launched on the home appliance market by LG in 2006. What is the function of steam in a washing machine, and which model is better to buy, we will talk about this in more detail in this article.
Functions and working principle
The principle of operation of a washing machine with a steam function is that it does not use water to wash clothes, but processes them with steam, which comes from a special rubber tube. Steam, unlike water, penetrates deeper into the fibers of clothes than water, and due to this, the item is cleaned more efficiently. And also steam dissolves the powder better, however, it is not necessary to use powder and other chemicals for washing in steam mode. Steam can also be used not only for washing, but also to simply refresh the laundry by setting a short cycle of work on the machine, and to disinfect new clothes – it destroys bacteria, fungus and relieves the item of an unpleasant odor.
The steam washing mode is suitable for any type of fabric – the steam temperature can be adjusted, and for more delicate laundry, reduce the degree of heating.
Advantages of a washing machine with a steam function
The main advantage of a washing machine with a steam function is that in this washing mode it is not necessary to use the spin cycle, which means that hard-to-smooth wrinkles will not appear on the clothes or the clothes will not lose their shape, but will remain in their original form. Another, no less important advantage in efficiency. To create steam, the washing machine uses half the amount of water than for normal washing. From saving water follows, respectively, and saving electricity. Other benefits include:
despite the fact that during operation the steam heats up to high temperatures, the laundry will not fade;
steam treatment can be used to disinfect things;
steam penetrates deeper into the fibers of clothes and therefore it is better to cope with stains that are difficult to remove with a normal washing cycle;
steam washing is safe for allergy sufferers, children and people with sensitive skin, as this washing does not require chemicals;
steam not only effectively cleans clothes, but also disinfects them;
when washing in steam mode, the machine works almost silently.
Disadvantages of steam washing machines
The main disadvantage of washing machines with a steam wash function, which repels buyers and does not allow experimenting with this innovation, is the high price. Other cons:
Although the steam washing machine copes with difficult contaminants, the technology for cleaning clothes from wine or blood without prior washing has not yet been invented.
After washing in steam mode, the laundry remains slightly damp.
Steam smoothes out some wrinkles and prevents things from losing their shape, however, it does not eliminate the need to iron the washed laundry.
Steam treatment can not be added to every wash cycle.
Reviews of washing machines with steam function
There is much to be said about the advantages and disadvantages of a steam washing machine, but it is still better to rely on customer reviews that have already decided to explore this new technology.
Reviews of the washing machine LG F14U2TDH1N
Marina, Moscow — I was satisfied with the purchase:
Reviews about washing machines with a steam function are different, however, I was satisfied with the LG F14U2TDH1N washing machine. Most of all I liked that the machine has many automatic programs for washing and you can create your own. The machine is very roomy, I can wash all the laundry in it at once, and not divide it into several approaches – it saves a lot of time. Clear control and quiet operation are also nice bonuses.
Alexander, Rostov-on-Don:
I was interested in a washing machine with a steam wash function, read a bunch of reviews and decided to opt for the LG F14U2TDH1N. I was not mistaken in my choice, steam washing really saves water, the laundry looks cleaner. True, you still have to iron, but after steaming it takes much less time.
Reviews of the washing machine Electrolux EWW51685
Katerina, Kyiv:
I chose the Electrolux EWW51685 washing machine after spending many hours researching possible models. I was not very satisfied with the purchase, since there is no pre-wash mode, although it would seem that this is one of the most necessary modes, and why it is not here is not clear. But there are pluses too – it is silent and very roomy. The price was reasonable for me.
Andrey, Lvov:
The Electrolux EWW51685 machine immediately attracted me when I studied its characteristics. It has all the features I need and in addition steam processing – it was interesting to try this innovation. I am satisfied with the operation of the device, however, the dimensions differ from those indicated in the technical data sheet, so I advise future buyers to measure it themselves before buying.
Reviews of the Electrolux EWF1076GDW washing machine
Ivan, Dnipro:
I decided to opt for the Electrolux EWF1076GDW washing machine, since I have a lot of equipment from this company at home, and it inspires confidence in me. It holds up to 8 kg of laundry, which is undoubtedly a plus, especially for such a price. I use the steam mode all the time, it does a great job with heavy creases and saves a lot of time for ironing. I ventured to try it on delicate fabrics such as curtains and was satisfied – the curtains did not survive easily, and even began to look better. The only drawback is that the machine does not have the ability to set the washing time itself, this is not fatal, but sometimes it causes inconvenience.
As you can see, the opinions of buyers differ, however, given all the subtleties that they have gone through, we can conclude that it is necessary to purchase such a device, and it is possible to protect yourself from wasting money.
The manufacturer of Whirlpool appliances is positioned as a brand from the USA. But more than 70% of production facilities are located in other countries. The models assembled in Germany, Slovenia and Italy deserve the greatest confidence of buyers. In the Russian Federation, you can buy a domestic-assembled Whirlpool machine.
Based on the feedback from buyers and consumers of equipment, we have compiled an overview of the models of 2022, we hope this will help you make a choice in favor of a particular washing machine.

In this ranking, I have compiled the 6 best washer-dryers you can buy in 2022. If you do not have a separate room for arranging a laundry room and, accordingly, installing a separate washer and dryer, then the 2 in 1 option will be the ideal solution.. All factors that affect the comfort of use were taken into account, since all modern equipment erases approximately the same. The drying option will definitely make life easier for all housewives. Imagine you put dirty things in and got dry ones – no need to wait for the washing machine to wash, then go hang up the laundry, wait until it dries, take it off.
When choosing, you need to evaluate how much laundry you are going to wash, what programs you need and whether you really need them. For example, the washing machine can cost more only because it has a steam cleaning function. Definitely a nice extra option, but are you sure that you will use it so often and that you actually need it? Therefore, when buying the very washing machine that will stand in the bathroom for at least 5 years, think ahead in advance so as not to overpay unnecessarily.

Weissgauff WMD 4148 D
Characteristics
loading: 8 kg
spin speed: 1400 rpm
inverter motor
drying: by time
energy class: A
protection: from leaks, from children
In fourth place Weissgauff WMD 4148 D. In the rating, this machine has one of the largest downloads, so if you have a large family, then this model is worthy of attention. There are many options here, as in all brand equipment. Here it is immediately necessary to note the depth of 47 cm – this design will fit even in small bathrooms.

There is only one recommendation here – to choose the right mode, then this drawback will not affect you in any way.
Electrolux EW7WR447W
Characteristics
loading: 7 kg
spin speed: 1400 rpm
inverter motor
drying: by residual moisture
energy class: A
protection: from leaks, from children
Top three opens Electrolux EW7WR447W. The most expensive model in the ranking: it costs almost 70,000 rubles. Model from those where “all inclusive”. What’s so unique about it:
UltraCare System – detergents are pre-mixed to make washing more efficient.
DualCare System – automatically changes the cycle, focusing on the weight of the drum load and the types of fabric. So, clothes are always washed in water of the required temperature and with the appropriate movement of the drum.
Steamcare system – with the help of steam, all wrinkles are minimized, which means that you do not have to iron things at all, or you can do it very quickly.
Sensicare system – determines the load of the washing machine and adjusts the duration of the cycle, respectively, things are not overwashed.
All these technologies individually seem insignificant, but when combined, they turn an ordinary washing machine into a powerful mechanism. The hostesses loved the 60 Minutes program the most: you throw things in and after an hour you get dry, clean clothes that you can wear. The machine is designed for loading up to 7 kg and 4 kg for drying. The maximum spin speed is 1400 rpm. 14 programs and steam wash are available.

A little noisy at high spin speeds, but not critical.
Takes a long time to wash when fully loaded.
When fully loaded, it can work for quite a long time, but at the same time you get 100% high-quality washed clothes. This is not to say that this is a disadvantage, since in any case it takes time to remove stains well. A good advantage over other models was the ability to choose the temperature, speed, drying time and plan the start time in advance using a timer.
LG F2V5HG0W
Characteristics
loading: 7 kg
spin speed: 1200 rpm
inverter motor
smartphone control: yes
energy class: B

Second place goes to LG F2V5HG0W. A narrow dryer that looks like it was made for small bathrooms. Designed for a load of 7 kg for washing and 4 kg for drying. The maximum spin speed is 1200 rpm. What is special about it and for what, in fact, you have to pay about 50,000 rubles.:
AI DD – a new intelligent system that determines the type of fabric and selects an individual washing mode, it turns out that things in the washer are not damaged and washed well.
Multiple drying modes — standard, easy and careful. For example, if you don’t like ironing, then always choose a light dry.
Steam Technology – removes viruses, bacteria and allergens. This option is useful for babies and allergy sufferers.
Increased structural strength – the door is made of tempered glass, so even after several years of operation, the washer will not be decorated with unattractive scratches. The ribs are made of stainless steel, which has additional antibacterial properties.
AI DD technology has become the main advantage here. The intelligent system first determines the weight, then the softness and then optimizes the washing cycle. According to the manufacturer, using this feature, it was possible to reduce possible tissue damage by 18%. 14 programs, including LG Steam +, own program, delicate wash, night wash, etc.
You can control the machine using the rotary knob and touch control panel with LED display, as well as from a smartphone – special cycles can be downloadedeven track the consumption of water and electricity in different modes.

Roomy.
AI DD technology.
3 drying modes.
Smartphone control.
Dries long enough. You just have to be ready for it.

Among the shortcomings, users indicate that the machine can be noisy at high speeds, but when compared with analogues, this is not so scary. In general, the feedback is positive, the laundry does not tangle into one lump, it dries perfectly, and does not dry out.
LG F1296CDS3
Characteristics
loading: 6 kg
spin speed: 1200 rpm
inverter motor
drying: by time
energy class: B
protection: from children
The leader of my rating is the most popular model of 2022, LG F1296CDS3. Received justified popularity, because, firstly, it is narrow, secondly, with a steam option, and thirdly, with a drying function. It turns out that in one design you are offered 3 in 1, and even in a compact design. The machine is designed for a load of 6 kg for washing and 3 kg for drying. Maximum spin speed – 1200 rpm. As in the previous model, here too Steam technology is a must havewhen it comes to things for allergy sufferers or babies. Inverter motor with direct drive system, so there are fewer parts in the design that wear out quickly. Then you will not know problems with engine breakdowns for a long time.
The drum can work in 6 modes – smoothing, saturation, wiggle, basic rotation, torsion, reverse rotation. For the consumer, the advantage is that the machine adapts as much as possible to different types of fabric and the degree of soiling. There are 13 programs available with the ability to delay the cycle for a certain time. Management is carried out using the usual rotary knob and conventional buttons in combination with an LED display.
Technology for washing things, useful for allergy sufferers and babies.
Drum operation in 6 modes.
Quiet work.
Lots of additional options.
It is necessary to wait longer than the normal opening of the door after washing and drying.
. Users note that this is an ideal value for money. A relative disadvantage may be that after drying, the door can open for a long time, so you have to do it manually. The previous and this model is worth considering, if only because all the new technologies are implemented here. Therefore, you can safely buy and after 1 year do not think that your girlfriend already has some kind of convenient option, and your washing machine is implemented with outdated programs.
Which washing machine to choose?
The models don’t have many differences, so let’s focus on the brand first.. We automatically start the choice with the equipment of a certain company, as we trust it and have already used it more than once. That’s why if Indesit became your favorite, then you can take Indesit XWDA 751680X, if LG, then you have to choose between two options.
Then look at the maximum load. For a large family, the optimal indicator starts from 7 kgotherwise someone runs the risk of being left without clean clothes that did not fit into the drum this time and you have to wait for the next time. Drying can also be with different options, for example, if you don’t like ironing, then be sure to look for a light or gentle drying mode.. The ability to choose the drying time yourself is a good option, since sometimes the system can set 1 hour, and 30 minutes will be enough for you.
The disadvantages noted by users are a dubious guide when buying, since even the designation “noisy at high speeds” is not entirely accurate, because for some it will be noisy, but for someone it will be quiet. Make a choice based on your needs and think in advance whether this or that technology will be used. Do not expect the impossible from technology and choose wisely, then the purchased washing machine will last a long time.
In this ranking, we have compiled the 6 best air purifiers for 2022. Only the best models from different price segments got into our TOP – from 9,990 to 27,000 rubles.

Characteristics
serviced area 20 sq.m
productivity 100 m³/h
smartphone control
pre-filter, carbon filter, HEPA filter
ionization, ozonation, UV lamp
power 16 W
The leader of my rating is REMEZair RMA-107-02. The air purifier at a very affordable price is a multifunctional device. He performs not only the functions of an air purifier and decontaminator, but also an ozonator. The ozonator helps to get rid of unpleasant odors and eliminate mold and fungus spores, not just dust and bacteria, like other air purifiers. The ozonator function is automatically turned off when people appear in the room (the presence sensor is triggered), since it cannot be performed in the presence of a person. Disinfection is carried out by means of ionization and a UV sterilizer.
The filtration system consists of 4 types of filters: pre, HEPA, coal, photocatalytic. Another feature of the device is its compactness. This is one of the smallest and lightest cleaners in the ranking, which designed for an area of 15-20 square meters.m and easy to move between rooms. Productivity at the first speed – 50 m3 and 100 m3 at the second speed. The REMEZair case is made in black. Also, this model is presented in the classic white color. Air intake and supply are carried out around the entire perimeter of the device. Dirty air is taken in from below, and purified air is discharged from above. At the same time, the air outlets are hidden and do not spoil the view.
Above is a touch control panel. The device has several modes of operation. In the basic mode of air purification, an ionizer is connected. Separately, it is worth noting the very quiet operation – 30 dB. For other models, this indicator is only possible in night mode. The air purifier has a Wi-Fi module, which allows you to control it from your smartphone. By the way, the Ozonator mode is always turned on only from a smartphone through a mobile application.
Cheap HEPA filters to replace and always in stock.
Average performance. Best for living rooms up to 15-20m2.
Price 9 990 rubles. Compared to its analogue at the price, Ballu AP-110, REMEZair has an improved filtration system, performs the function of an ozone generator, works quieter and has a remote control, although it is somewhat inferior in terms of performance. Users believe that due to the functionality and quality of air purification REMEZair RMA-107 is the best option for a small apartment.
In general, REMEZair is a technological brand, but still little known. Their air purifiers are the most thoughtful in terms of characteristics and at the same time the price does not bite. They also have cheap replacement HEPA filters and are always in stock, which will save you a lot of money and time in the long run.
What are air purifiers?
The device and the principle of operation of this device are quite simple – the air cleaner drives air flows through the filters inside itself. All sorts of contaminants settle on the filters of the device. Often, an air purifier for the home is equipped with an ionizer, and also additionally disinfects or flavors the air.
The filters that are installed in household cleaners are different:
Electrostatic or plasma – trap dust particles;
Photocatalytic – remove unpleasant odors, tobacco smoke, microspores of fungi and mold;
HEPA filters – help in the fight against dust and allergens;
Charcoal filters – mechanically filter out dust and other microparticles, well purify the air from odors;
Ionizers – serve to disinfect and improve the condition of the body as a whole.
In modern high-quality appliances, a multi-stage air flow system is used – several different filters are installed at once, which provides comprehensive cleaning, disinfection and humidification of air for the home.
Important:
When choosing a device for your home, give preference to models with an air ionization function. Otherwise, you and your family will constantly inhale the so-called “dead” air – such a microclimate loses its natural charge and becomes harmful to all living things in the room.
If you need both purification and humidification of the air inside an apartment or house, you can choose an air washer for yourself. It is more bulky, but does not require the cost of consumables and replaceable filters. It is enough just to add water to the tank and periodically clean the spinning discs through which air is driven.
How to choose a good air purifier
Here are a few criteria that will help you choose the right air purifier model for your apartment or house.
The volume of air being transported. For an hour of work, a good cleaner must pass through itself three volumes of the room in which it is located. We calculate the volume of the room and multiply by three – this is the desired indicator for your purifier.
Power. Directly affects the speed and intensity of the device. But if you want the cleaner to work all the time, pay attention to low-power models.
Problems that the device will deal with. Depending on the task that you set for the device, choose the filtration of the purifier. And then, you can always enjoy clean and fresh air in your home.
Additional functions. The presence of a display, indicators of water level or filter contamination, a timer, backlight, ultraviolet radiation, flavoring – all this increases the purchase price, but also makes the operation of the device more comfortable. From customer reviews, we can conclude that it is really worth overpaying for controlled air humidification, and all other functions of purifiers and humidifiers are not of decisive importance.
Important:
Remember, any device requires maintenance and cleaning. Some filters need to be washed or changed quite often (electrostatic, carbon), and some less often (photocatalytic).
It’s time to decide on the brand and model of the best device for cleaning the air in the house.
