AGARO Ace 21L (₹6,999) offers the best value with 21.5 kPa suction, stainless steel tank, and blower function. For premium quality and service network, choose Karcher WD 3 V (₹9,999) despite smaller 17L tank. For maximum suction power, American Micronic AMI-VCD21 (₹8,050) delivers 28 kPa with HEPA filtration.

A:

10-15L tanks: Ideal for car cleaning, small apartments (1-2 BHK), weekly light cleaning. 20-21L tanks: Best for regular home use, medium spaces (2-3 BHK), monthly deep cleaning. 30L+ tanks: Essential for workshops, garages, post-construction cleaning, commercial use. Larger tanks reduce emptying frequency but increase weight (8kg+) and storage space.

A:

17-20 kPa: Sufficient for regular household dust, light spills, car interiors, daily cleaning. 21-25 kPa: Handles heavy dust, pet hair, moderate water suction, festival cleaning (rangoli, firecracker residue). 28+ kPa: Tackles construction debris, cement dust, stubborn dirt, deep water puddles, workshop/garage use. Higher isn't always better - match kPa to your actual cleaning needs to avoid paying for unnecessary power.

A:

No. You must empty the tank and clean filters between wet and dry cleaning modes. Mixing water with dry dust creates mud/paste that clogs filters and damages the motor. Proper sequence: First vacuum dry debris, empty tank, then switch to wet cleaning. Always dry the tank and filters completely before next dry use to prevent mold growth.

A:

HEPA filters (True HEPA or H13) capture 99.97% of particles ≥0.3 microns including dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria - essential for allergy/asthma sufferers. Regular filters (foam, cloth, cartridge) capture larger particles (dust, dirt, debris) but allow fine allergens to escape back into air. Trade-off: HEPA costs more (₹1,000-1,500 replacement) and may slightly reduce suction but provides superior air quality. If no allergies, regular filters are sufficient and cheaper.

A:

Choose stainless steel if: You need durability for workshop/garage use, want dent/crack resistance, plan rough handling, prefer longevity (10+ years). Choose plastic if: You prioritize lightweight portability (move between rooms), want rust-proof material, use only for home cleaning, have budget constraints. Recommendation: For ₹6,000-10,000 range, stainless steel offers better long-term value. Only premium brands like Karcher use high-quality plastic that matches steel durability.

A:

Filter replacement: HEPA filters every 6-12 months (₹1,000-1,500), cartridge filters every 12-18 months (₹500-800). Dust bags: Washable bags (clean after each use, replace every 2-3 years), disposable bags (replace when 2/3 full, costs ₹100-200 per bag). Frequency depends on: Usage hours (daily vs weekly), cleaning environment (dusty construction vs clean home), filter quality. Budget ₹1,500-2,500 annually for filter maintenance.

A:

Blower function reverses motor airflow to blow air out (instead of sucking in) for stubborn debris removal. Essential uses: Cleaning computer keyboards, CPU vents, air conditioner coils, window tracks, garage corners, drying wet surfaces after spill cleanup, removing leaves from balconies. Verdict: Extremely useful for 80% of users. All our recommended models include blower function - it's now a standard feature, not premium add-on.

A:

Yes, excellent for car cleaning. Wet & dry vacuums handle car interiors (seats, carpets, dashboard), trunk cleaning, water suction from floor mats, and engine bay dusting (use blower function). Best models for cars: INALSA WD 15 (compact 15L), AGARO Ace 21L (powerful suction for pet hair). Essential attachments: Crevice tool (tight spaces), upholstery brush (seats), floor nozzle (carpets). Choose models with 5m+ cord to reach all car areas without extension cord.

A:

Best service: Karcher (established nationwide network, quick response in metros and Tier 1 cities). Good service: Eureka Forbes (extensive reach including Tier 2/3 cities). Improving: AGARO, American Micronic (good in metros, expanding to smaller cities). Recommendation: For Tier 1/metros, all brands serviceable. For Tier 2/3 cities, prioritize Karcher or Eureka Forbes. Always buy from Amazon/Flipkart for easy returns/replacements within warranty period.
