Household cleaning equipment is represented by a wide range of vacuum cleaners of different brands.Making a choice that satisfies all requirements in such conditions is a rather difficult task. However, review materials, which quite eloquently describe all the advantages and disadvantages of a particular model, provide effective assistance.

In this review, we will look at the Vitek VT 1833 vacuum cleaner, thereby showing the potential owner the true picture of household appliances created on the basis of the Austrian concept.

We will introduce you to the technical characteristics, functionality, give operating tips, and also compare the budget Vitek VT 1833 with other vacuum cleaners in this price category.

Review of the technical parameters of the model

To tidy up household premises, as a rule, standard equipment that provides dry cleaning of surfaces is sufficient. The Vitek VT 1833 device is quite suitable for performing such a cleaning.The design, which has sufficient power, is equipped with all the necessary tools for cleaning.

A “silver” design solution for the Vitek VT 1833 vacuum cleaner. At the same time, two more design options with different colors are produced. In total, model 1833 is offered on the market in three design solutions

The dimensions of the device are somewhat beyond the scope of compact models, and in terms of weight the device can be classified as a heavy-duty machine. However, the increased size and weight do not have a negative impact on the quality of work. On the contrary, judging by the reviews, Vitek VT 1833 is one of the models in frequent demand.

Features of the Vitek cleaning apparatus

The technological design of the equipment, in general, does not have any particularly pronounced features, if we consider the equipment against the background of many other similar devices intended for cleaning the home. However, certain execution details are, of course, present, since any company is interested in attracting people to its own product.

Design solutions for the VT 1833 model

The same model number 1833 is available in three different color variations: red (R), green (G), silver (PR).

The top panel of the main module contains all the operating elements necessary to operate the machine:

1. Network cable reel activation key.
2. Power control knob.
3. The key to supply or turn off the supply voltage.

Also located here, on the top panel of the body of the Vitek VT 1833 vacuum cleaner, is the handle of the garbage container with a button that smoothly passes into the area of ​​the inlet of the suction channel, where the corrugated hose is connected.

The top panel of the Austrian product, where all the main controls are located, as well as functional elements that facilitate quick removal of the waste container

There is also a powerful handle for transport purposes, which, when not in use, fits flush into the niche of the top panel. On one side of the case all the functionality of the vacuum cleaner is written. The other shows the power limit, as well as the type of filtration system used - this is a standard advertising ploy.

Set of working accessories

The working accessories included in the Vitek VT 1833 set practically correspond to the accepted classic equipment of modern household vacuum cleaners.

This includes:

• telescopic adjustable tube-rod;
• corrugated flexible hose;
• brush for cleaning hard/soft surfaces;
• small brush;
• crevice nozzle;
• nozzle for cleaning furniture coverings;
• turbo brush.

Using this set of brushes provides access for cleaning in any area of ​​the premises. Furniture cleaning is also available.

The entire set of accessories from the classic cleaning machine, including a set of spare filter elements that are used for fine cleaning of the air flow

A brush for cleaning hard/soft surfaces is a kind of universal accessory. The principle of operation of the brush: the length of the bristles is set for a certain type of coating using a special switch located on the cover of the accessory body.

A turbo brush provides a similar cleaning effect with a universal accessory, despite the differences in designs. At the same time, the Vitek VT 1833 turbo brush is capable of cleaning carpets with a pile length of no more than 15 mm. This is an effective tool for cleaning carpets from pet hair, but it is very “flimsy”, according to users.

The turbo brush mechanism included in the Vitek 1833 accessory kit, with a view of the lower (working) area. The turbine shaft is clearly visible, which often fails due to blocking by winding of long hairs and threads

The remaining tools do not stand out with any special features - these are classic attachments used occasionally, if there is a need to tidy up furniture or clean out debris from crevices.

Air filtration system

The air environment inside the vacuum cleaner created during operation is a mixture of air, dust, and debris. To separate the contents and obtain clean air at the output, a filter system is used - in this case, a five-stage one.

This is what one of the fine air filters (sponge) looks like, which is used in the filtration system. In total, the vacuum cleaner uses three elements of this type - two at the inlet, one at the outlet

A special feature of the Vitek VT 1833 filtration system is the use of the so-called aqua technology - cleaning using water separation. The technology involves using a container filled with a certain amount of water, in our case 550-600 ml.

The lower part of the garbage container, where, according to the instructions, water should be poured to a certain level. Water level marks (minimum and maximum) are indicated directly on the tank body

The sucked air, saturated with debris, is passed through the aqueous medium, thereby implementing the principle of separating the contents of the air flow. Suspended particles are retained by water, and the air freed from them moves further.

The technology of a kind of “washing” of air is used by almost all leading manufacturers on the market. With a rating of the products they produce vacuum cleaners with aqua filter An article devoted to the analysis of characteristics and ranking of models of this type of household appliance will introduce you.

HEPA type filter element, also included in the air flow filtration system. In principle, standard design, where the characteristic component is a ribbed fabric surface

However, aqua filtration is only part of the filter technology used in the design of the vacuum cleaner. Additionally, two sponge input filters and one HEPA filter are used, as well as an output sponge filter element. Total - five stages of air flow purification.

Pros and cons according to owners

The opinions of the owners of Austrian equipment regarding the pros and cons are quite “mixed”. Ratings range from “very positive” marks to “very negative” comments.

Owners of the vacuum cleaner speak about the VT 1833 model in approximately equal terms, both in terms of positive qualities and in terms of negative phenomena. This state of affairs allows us to make an assumption about the average assessment of the quality and functionality of the equipment.

Among the advantages are:

• high power;
• convenient transport handle;
• light tube-rod.

Lots of positive feedback regarding the good power of the machine. Users are impressed by the use of an aquafilter in the design of the system.This design makes the operation of the machine more comfortable, since there is no dust formation during the release process.

The transport handle is one of the parts of the vacuum cleaner that has earned positive recognition from many owners. This is a working and transportable condition. Otherwise, the handle “lies” in the niche of the body

The device is convenient to transport, thanks to the large, durable handle, and easy to maintain due to the well-thought-out mechanism for disassembling/assembling the container.

Meanwhile, Austrian technology also has many disadvantages:

• unreliable turbo brush design;
• short power cord;
• Housing plastic is of low quality.

Some owners note that the vacuum cleaner makes a lot of noise when operating. There are also difficulties with maintenance - it is difficult to wash some elements of the filtration system. Filter elements often have to be changed. Many owners complain about the rapid failure of the turbo brush.

Recommendations for using the vacuum cleaner

Before each regular cleaning, the device requires some preparation. So, it is necessary to separate the waste container from the body by using the locking button and pulling the handle. Then the two latches on the back of the container are pressed, after which the container opens into two halves.

Thanks to the convenient locking mechanism and handle, the container module is easily separated from the main chassis of the vacuum cleaner and is also easily joined. After separation, the module must be opened into two halves

The container capacity (bottom half) should be filled with water up to the “MAX” mark indicated on the body. The minimum level is indicated by the label “MIN”.

It is unacceptable to use a vacuum cleaner without filling the container with water. After filling the water, the container is closed with a lid, which is secured with latches.

The second (lower) half of the container module, turned to the side where the two latches are located. It is thanks to these locks that the lower and upper halves of the container are fastened together

Next, the container is installed on the vacuum cleaner, after which the device can be activated. After cleaning is completed, the container is emptied of filled water and thoroughly washed, like everyone else. container models. The container design, by the way, contains a holder where two sponge filters and one HEPA element are installed.

The degree of clogging of these filters must be constantly monitored, since if they are significantly saturated with dirt, the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner sharply decreases. The manufacturer recommends cleaning and replacing filters, including HEPA, at least once every two months.

Contents of the container after completion of cleaning work. As you can see in the picture, there is basically no dust. There is only a water-mud emulsion that will need to be drained and rinsed from any remaining dirt in the container.

During operation, the user is free to pull out the network cable to the desired length. However, you should remember the limitations on the length of the power cord. If, while pulling the cable, a yellow mark appears at the output, the maximum limit has been reached.

Behind the yellow marker on the cable there is another red marker. This is a complete ban on further cable pulling. When performing cleaning work, the Vitek VT 1833 vacuum cleaner can be conveniently transported from one place to another using the transport handle.

The design of the handle takes into account the significant weight of the device (7.3 kg) - therefore the part is made of thick plastic with durable support hinges. User practice involving household cleaning Vitek equipment filmed by many vacuum cleaner owners.

One of the videos, where the owner tried to scrupulously explain all the intricacies of the Austrian-made vacuum cleaner, is shown below:
