Ranking of the best manufacturers of electric brooms, top 10 models
The market for household cleaning appliances is constantly being renewed with new appliances that make the work of housewives easier. An electric (battery-powered) broom is not as noisy as a vacuum cleaner and requires less work when cleaning than a conventional floor brush. Adjustable handle, quick assembly and disassembly, effective debris removal turn the electric broom into a real home helper.
Description and principle of operation of the electric broom
The device looks like an ordinary mop with a telescopic handle on a swivel stand. The lower part is a plastic box, 5 to 12 centimeters high, with wheels for easy movement on the floor. The brushes are hidden inside the box, which begin to spin when turned on, throwing debris into a special compartment.
The collected litter accumulates in a container. As it fills, the container must be emptied for the electric broom to continue to operate.The low-power motor works almost silently, which advantageously distinguishes the device from a vacuum cleaner. A working electric broom will not scare neighbors and relatives with a roar.
Most popular electric brooms run on rechargeable batteries (up to 30 minutes) and therefore need to be recharged. But the device does not have a wire that gets in the way and gets confused when cleaning.
The first devices had one brush, later they began to equip electric brooms with several disc rollers, which firmly grab particles of debris. Some varieties have small containers for water, the brush is replaced with cloth rollers. In this case, the electric broom turns into a washing machine, with the help of which wet cleaning is possible.
An electric broom is an ideal device for quick dry cleaning of garbage; it does not require a long preparation, unwinding the cord. It can also be easily removed by simply shaking the debris out into a bucket and placing it in an isolated corner.
Differences with an upright vacuum cleaner
An electric broom is often compared to an upright vacuum, evaluating the convenience and efficiency of each device. These household appliances are similar only in their function; they differ significantly in principles and efficiency of work:
- An electric broom is a simple floor brush that sweeps debris into a dustpan. The vacuum cleaner creates a current of air that sucks in dust, debris, literally pulling dirt from surfaces of any configuration. The high efficiency of the vacuum cleaner with thorough cleaning is beyond doubt.
- A wide variety of vacuum attachments allow you to get into corners, clean furniture, curtains, while the electric broom only works on flat surfaces, picks up debris, but not dust.
- The electric broom is a quick assistant for picking up large debris; he doesn't need to be prepared for the job. You can quickly remove the device from the corner, clean the rooms before the arrival of guests. It will do a great job of scooping up trash in the kitchen after cooking - scattered noodles, bits of cabbage and onion skins will quickly go to waste. Coarse and hard fractions will not damage the device. But the sparse flour will just rise like a light cloud.
An electric device is rightly called a broom, it makes it easier to pick up garbage scattered on the floor.

Experienced housewives who use an electric broom find many useful qualities and advantages of the device:
