Top 7 best models

Let's look at the brand's vertical and conventional horizontal vacuum cleaners with all their advantages and disadvantages, which will help you choose the most suitable device.

The main source of information for compiling the rating was customer reviews and ratings, as well as the technical parameters of the devices.

1st place - Galaxy GL6256

The vertical model combines standard functionality and the possibility of “manual” use. The vacuum cleaner is suitable for both large-scale cleaning and daily quick help around the house - collecting spilled sugar or crumbs in the kitchen, sand and dirt in the hallway.

The HEPA filtration system deserves special praise, thanks to which stable suction power is maintained in combination with good air purification.

Upholstered furniture, curtains, carpets, bookshelves, appliances - the compact size of the device and many attachments make it possible to remove dust from various surfaces.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 50x18x12.5/1.6 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 130 W/700 W;
• dust collector - 1.2 l;
• cord length - 4 m.

Users like the low cost, convenience and lightness of the device, vertical “parking”, sufficient power for small dimensions, and a washable filter.

The large transparent dust bin is visible when it's full during cleaning. The low noise level is also good. The kit includes the following attachments: mattress, dust, lint brush.

The design of the device is one of the shortcomings: due to the thickness of the body, it is difficult to vacuum under furniture, which is located at a small height from the floor. After several months of work, the wheels may stop spinning.

The disadvantages include rapid overheating, poor build quality - sagging fasteners for the container, thin plastic at the connections. The only surface that the device cannot handle is long-pile carpets.

2nd place - Galaxy GL6254

This model is one of the most convenient and mobile in the cyclone line on the market. The list of its indisputable advantages includes mobility, compactness, lightness, and functionality.

The main purpose of the device is to clean flat surfaces located below, so it does not have a suction hose and does not come with additional nozzles, but only for floors and carpets.

Due to the design features, the device cannot be used to remove dust under the bed, closet, or in the gap between the back of the sofa and the seat. It is also not suitable for removing cobwebs from ceilings - the device is difficult and inconvenient to hold in a canopy.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 80x27.5x18.5/4 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 300 W/1500 W;
• dust collector - 1 l;
• cord length - 5.5 m.

Among the advantages: compactness, presence of a power regulator on the housing. The positive characteristics are high power: the device easily collects debris and dust.

There is only one brush, but it has retractable bristles and a rubber scraper. Users also like the ergonomic handle, it is comfortable to hold, and the device does not slip from your hands during operation.

Disadvantages include quick heating and the appearance of a plastic smell. The device requires cleaning the container after each cleaning, otherwise the suction power will be reduced. Noisiness was also noted; the device makes a whistling sound.

Another disadvantage is the lack of replacement filters for sale due to their atypical shape.Some users solved this problem by putting nylon pads or napkins on the filter so as not to spoil it with periodic washing.

3rd place - Galaxy GL6255

The device is lightweight and convenient in design. It combines the functionality of a vertical and handheld vacuum cleaner. In addition to the universal nozzle, the kit includes a crevice nozzle and a furniture nozzle.

In the miniature case there was a place where you can store attachments. There is a dust bin full indicator and convenient wall mounting.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 28x18x48/2.5 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 100 W/700 W;
• dust collector - 0.5 l;
• cord length - 4.5 m.

Users attribute the assembly to the advantages of the model - all parts are made of high quality, there is no feeling of cheap plastic, despite the lowest price in comparison with “colleagues”. The device is easy to use, maneuvers well around the room, and has a fairly long cord.

The power of the device and the volume of the dust collector are enough to work with carpets. But if the container is heavily soiled, you have to clean the container frequently. Thanks to its light weight and dimensions, even a 7-8 year old child can handle cleaning.

Among the shortcomings, the lack of devices for winding the wire is highlighted; it has to be wound onto the body of the vacuum cleaner.

The built-in container is convenient from a repair point of view (there are no constantly breaking latches), but it complicates operation - you have to move the entire structure with a cord to clean out accumulated debris.

Some buyers do not like the power button on the body of the device; it would be more convenient on the handle.

4th place - Galaxy GL6253

The most expensive device in the line. The device is orange, but has a transparent body.A significant advantage is the 5-stage HEPA filtration system, equipped with a multicyclone, microfoam and three-layer cotton filter.

The cord rewinds automatically. The kit includes an extension telescopic tube and a combination brush.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 80x27.5x18.5/4 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 500 W/1900 W;
• dust collector - 3 l;
• cord length - 4.5 m.

Strengths of the model: on the case there is an indicator for filling the dust container and a power regulator. Users are satisfied with its compactness, low weight, and high power. The device copes well with dust in hard-to-reach places.

Among the complaints there is noise, but not critical. Negative reviews also concern the build quality - the device resembles a children's construction set, designed for short-term use.

There is a plastic smell when heated. It overheats 10-15 minutes after the start of cleaning. If you turn it off or the corresponding function works, you need to wait at least half an hour for it to cool down.

5th place - Galaxy GL6251

The heaviest vacuum cleaner in the entire line. Compact and easy to use, the device is made in blue. Like the previous model, it is equipped with a 5-stage filtration system that traps fine dust. The 3-liter container is quite spacious.

The design of the device allows you to throw out garbage in one motion. Another plus is the rubberized wheels, thanks to which the vacuum cleaner can be used on surfaces that require delicate handling.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 41x30.5x34.5/ 5.7 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 500 W/1700 W;
• dust collector - 3 l;
• cord length - 4.5 m.

Users are satisfied with the automatic cord winding. The low price of the device and beautiful design are noted. Cleans upholstered furniture well. There is a dismountable nozzle for cleaning small parts, for example, to clean the computer system unit.

Negative reviews refer to power that feels less than what is stated by the manufacturer. The filter clogs quickly. During operation, the hand gets tired due to the non-ergonomic tilt of the handle. The fastenings on the container and at the hose connection point are very weak.

Sometimes the vacuum cleaner receives an electric shock, but this may be due to the accumulation of a static charge on the pipe while cleaning carpets and upholstered furniture.

6th place - Galaxy GL6250

Made in purple color. It has sufficient power for cleaning carpets, there are appropriate attachments, a telescopic tube, automatic cord rewind, and a blower function.

The last option is useful for removing dust from inside a PC, components and other equipment, as well as from patterns on vases and dishes.

Like all standard models of this brand, it is equipped with a 5-stage filter system with a three-layer HEPA, nylon and microfoam element.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 39.5x30.5x30/5.1 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 400 W/1700 W;
• dust collector - 3 l;
• cord length - 3.5 m.

The advantages include design, compactness and low price. The container was noted to be easy to clean. Works well on cat hair on carpets. The filtration system does not cause any complaints.

The device is easy to move - mobility is ensured by rubberized wheels. Suitable even for collecting small volumes of construction waste.

The disadvantages include the short length of the cord and telescopic tube.The last note is relevant for tall people whose height is more than 175 cm - you have to vacuum cleaner in a bent position. There are also complaints about overheating.

7th place - Galaxy GL6252

Made in red. Equipped with a 5-stage filtration system, wire winding and blowing function. It differs from its colleagues mainly in design; the parameters are the same as the previous model.

Specifications:

• type of cleaning - dry;
• size (cm)/weight - 39.5x30.5x30/5.1 kg;
• suction/consumption power — 400 W/1700 W;
• dust collector - 3 l;
• cord length - 3.5 m.

Users recommend using the device only for daily quick cleaning. The power is enough to clean the carpet and collect spilled food.

It ranks last in the ranking for a combination of shortcomings: short cord and telescopic tube, poor connection between the hose and the body. The quality of the plastic is not up to par, the unit overheats and emits an unpleasant odor.

Recommendations for Galaxy equipment buyers

Vertical models are rightly called electric brooms. Light weight, low power - these parameters are suitable for quickly cleaning a small area. The devices easily cope with the task of removing crumbs from the floor or animal hair from the carpet (this also applies to hair).

If you need such a device, all you have to do is decide on the design and purchase one of the three offered.

When choosing a standard vacuum cleaner, consider the following points:

1. Power — if the device has to cope with carpets, fabric coverings, and animal hair, then you need the “strongest” models from the line, such as GL6253 and GL6251.
2. Weight. The lightest device is GL6253, the heaviest is GL6251.
3. Cord length — the last two models have it less.

The standard vacuum cleaners in the line are quite powerful and equipped with convenient containers. A 3-liter container is usually enough for several cleanings if the dirt is light, but it is best to clean it after each use.

All models are equipped cyclone filter, which implies increased noise - about 70-72 dB.

When purchasing a vacuum cleaner with high power, pay attention to its increased energy consumption. This parameter is indicated in the documentation and on the device body

After purchase, during operation, take into account the lateral position of the wheels; such devices can only move straight.
