Review of the compact model PUPPYOO WP526

The PUPPYOO WP526-C model is designed for dry home cleaning and has a collapsible design. It operates on a 220 V network, which means it is suitable for any apartment where there is an electrical outlet. What's the catch, where does such an inexpensive price come from?

Features of purchase and delivery

In fact, the Chinese company Pappio can be trusted: over almost 20 years of its existence, it has sold hundreds of thousands of vacuum cleaners, and its sales area extends far beyond the borders of China.

All products entering the Russian market have certificates of conformity, a guarantee and the ability to return/exchange defective or disliked products.

The PUPPYOO vertical vacuum cleaner is no exception. The WP526 model has already been tested by users, evidence of this is thousands of reviews, including many positive ones

The device can be purchased on the website tmall.aliexpress.com, where you can also arrange delivery of the goods. The fact is that Aliexpress is the official seller of the brand, and Pappio equipment cannot be found in other stores. For many users, shopping on the Internet is unusual: you cannot take a closer look at the item, touch it, or check its functions.

However, the sales conditions are so attractive that many take a risk and buy an inexpensive device. If you are not satisfied with something, you can always return it to the seller.

Design features and equipment

Acquaintance with the device begins with unpacking the box - a large rectangular package in which delivery is made. The vacuum cleaner is delivered unassembled.

All parts are in separate bags and packed so that they do not come into contact with each other or break during transportation.

Each element of the vacuum cleaner must be carefully examined: there should be no chips or cracks on the plastic, and no scratches on transparent and glossy parts.

So, the package contains:

• cyclone filter + block with handle and power cord;
• main nozzle floor/carpet;
• additional attachments for furniture;
• tube holder;
• spare filter;
• instructions (most likely without translation into Russian), certificates.

To check whether the vacuum cleaner is functioning, you need to assemble it and plug it into the network - this way you can check both the appearance and the serviceability of the purchase.

To assemble, you just need to connect the main parts:

The parts fit together easily and quickly. After assembly, you can immediately check how the vacuum cleaner works by plugging it into the network. If you already have experience using such models, then when the brush comes into contact with the floor, it will immediately become clear how powerful the device is - the manufacturer does not indicate the suction strength.

Model specifications

A list of technical parameters can be found in the attached documentation. Immediately pleasing is the low weight of the assembled device - together with the attached attachments it is 2.1 kg. Dimensions and weight are often decisive if the cleaning is often done by an unprepared woman or teenager.

Specifications:

• type – household
• cleaning system – bagless, cycle. filter 0.6 l
• additional attachments – yes
• power – 600 W
• weight – 2.1 kg
• cord – 4.5 m

The type of dust collector is a cyclone filter with a plastic container, already traditional for “dry” type units. Dust is sucked into a transparent flask, where, under the influence of centrifugal force, it is distributed along the walls, unable to return back into the pipe.

The volume of the dust container is small - 0.6 liters, but removing dust several times during one cleaning usually does not cause difficulties.

The presence of a cylindrical tank with an opening bottom is very convenient for servicing the vacuum cleaner: when filling the tank, you can get rid of debris in just a couple of seconds

The power is quite noticeable, especially when cleaning hard surfaces and low pile: the dust simply disappears into the nozzle hole. For long carpet pile, all types of brushes are useless; the most they can do is stroke the surface.

The cord is quite long - 4.5 m, that is, the range of action when using an extension tube is at least 6 m. This means that the room can be vacuumed from a corner socket

The noise level of the device is not specified, but according to reviews, it works quite quietly - you can talk freely when the vacuum cleaner is turned on.

Pros and cons of the device

A compact vacuum cleaner has many positive aspects: lightweight, relatively quiet, does not require maintenance after each cleaning, as analogues with aquafilter. If desired, the model can be disassembled and packed in a box. All parts, except the engine block, are washed and cleaned.

Advantages of the model:

• very light weight compared to competitors;
• simple prefabricated 2-in-1 design;
• good power for dry cleaning;
• long power cord;
• replaceable filter.

Having two additional brushes is a big plus. The crevice one is good for cleaning hard surfaces, and the furniture one is good for cleaning any textile items, from curtains to soft toys.

Components must be treated with care. It can be difficult to buy a vacuum cleaner part separately from it, especially for such inexpensive models as WP526

A cheap device cannot be perfect; it also has plenty of shortcomings. Some are visible immediately, others make themselves felt during regular use.

Weak points of the vacuum cleaner:

• fragile plastic parts;
• connections that become loose over time;
• inability to vacuum thick and long pile;
• no battery;
• there is no device for winding the wire;
• small dust container.

But considering the cost, we can say that the disadvantages are not so significant. The main thing is that the vacuum cleaner performs its main function - carefully collecting dust.

What do users think about PUPPYOO?

When buying a cheap model, not everyone believes in its performance; many consumers perceive the vacuum cleaner as a toy. Having seen the result of cleaning, they understand that inexpensive equipment can be useful on the farm.

Most buyers believe that the model more than earns its price: it cleans floors and sofas efficiently, carefully collects wool and soil spilled from flower pots.

The collapsible design is positively assessed. Over time, the parts become covered with dust, and individually they are very convenient to wash and dry.

However, some users have complaints regarding both the material of manufacture and some technical parameters:

• after turning on the device begins to smell like plastic;
• power is not adjustable;
• carpets are poorly cleaned;
• the engine gets very hot.

There are many complaints about the suction power: during operation, the brush “sticks” to the laminate or linoleum so that it cannot be moved. But some people consider such power an advantage.
