TOP 10 Kitfort cleaning machines
We will try to determine, based on user preferences and commercial sales, the ten best household vacuum cleaners produced by Kitfort.
In order to evenly distribute equipment in the TOP by design, we will take equal parts of the modifications:
- robotic machines;
- manual;
- standard.
Considering the popularity among buyers, Kitfort robotic projects were at the very top of the ranking.
Next, manual and combined action devices took quite a strong position. Finally, the final part of the dozens continued to hold the traditional classic models.
Place #1 – Kitfort KT-533
The leader of the Kitfort vacuum cleaner rating is the model marked with the production logo KT-533. A fully automatic system that the user remembers only when it is necessary to charge the battery.
A robotic harvesting machine whose purpose is to dry and wet cleaning. Being a self-contained device, the model KT-533 vacuum cleaner is powered by a 14.4-volt battery (battery capacity 2500 mAh).
The charging capacity is enough for 2 hours of cleaning work. It takes 5-6 hours to charge.
This robot is equipped with a waste container with a capacity of 300 ml. For wet cleaning, a water tank is used, which also has a capacity of 300 ml.
The small-sized design of the robotic vacuum cleaner (315x315x71 mm) is almost silent. According to the stated characteristics, the noise level of the machine is not higher than 60 dB.
The operating weight (fully equipped) is only 4.8 kg, and in light mode it is a total of 3.8 kg. The device belongs to class III electrical installations in terms of protection against possible electric shock.
Among the advantages, users name possibility of two-hour work, programming by day of the week and excellent cleaning results.
Cons: periodically gets tangled in wires, does not have a dust collector filling sensor and requires regular cleaning of the case from dust that sticks to it during operation.
Place #2 – Kitfort KT-516
The robot vacuum cleaner modification KT-516, created by Kitfort, claims to be one of the most powerful models in this class of cleaning machines. The effectiveness of cleaning the device has been proven by practice. At the same time, the cost is comparable to budget models.
This robotic apparatus household use could have taken the first position in the ranking, but ended up in second place due to a slightly shorter operating time (80-90 minutes) compared to the leader. In other respects, the car looks even more preferable.
Thus, the model’s garbage container capacity is 500 ml, and the overall power reaches 25 W (the leader has 20 W).
True, the battery used with a voltage of 14.4 volts has a capacity of 2000 mAh - that is, 500 mA less. This is the reason for the reduction in operating time.
The device is equipped two-stage filtration system. One of the working stages (fine cleaning) is a HEPA filter.
The robot is endowed effective turbo brush, thanks to which the user receives high-quality cleaning of soft coverings. Low noise (60 dB) and relatively light (maximum 5 kg), which owners consider a definite plus.
Among the disadvantages, problems were noted with overcoming even a low obstacle in the form of a children's puzzle rug, as well as the inability to “remember” the cleaned area - the device can clean a freshly washed room in a second round.
Place #3 – Kitfort KT-518
The delicate white color of the body alone already attracts consumer attention to the KT-518 robotic vacuum cleaner from Kitfort.
Meanwhile, hidden behind a beautiful shell is a quite effective, completely automatic garbage cleaner. Which, despite its attractiveness, is designed for dry cleaning.
Device functionality:
- auto;
- manual;
- local;
- Scheduled.
An interesting function of the vacuum cleaner is to clean only by passing the area around the perimeter (along the walls). In addition, the device is configured to move randomly, zigzags or spirals.
The working volume of the garbage collector is 300 ml. The capacity of a fully charged battery (2600 mAh) is enough for 110-130 minutes of operation. The battery charges to 100% capacity in about 4-5 hours.
Meanwhile, this model uses a power supply (charging module) with an increased operating voltage of 19 volts.
It is also worth noting that this device is one of the lightest robotic designs - 2.1 kg without equipment and 3.6 kg with full equipment, low noise and cleans well. What users consider a benefit. Perhaps this is the main reason why the technology came in third place in the TOP-10 rating.
But among the disadvantages they name a small garbage container and a manufacturer's flaw - the device does not clean within a radius of 1 meter around the base.
We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rating of Kitfort robot vacuum cleaners, which is presented in this material.
Place #4 – Kitfort KT-531
A budget option when compared with the prices of previously noted models. It was the affordable price that most likely helped the KT-531 robotic vacuum cleaner from Kitfort reach fourth position.
Again stands out attractive design, but the functionality does not lag behind in terms of effectiveness. An interesting autonomous class cleaning machine.
As for the technical and operational characteristics, the device is not particularly effective at cleaning, but, according to the owners, it provides cleanliness in the house at a good level.
The charging module's power supply generates a voltage of 24 volts. The battery is nickel-metal hydride, with an operating voltage of 14.4 volts, with a working capacity of 1000 mAh. The cleaning time on the battery, provided it is fully charged, is 40-60 minutes.
This model is not equipped with a turbo brush, but in terms of equipment maintenance, this approach seems even more user-friendly. The cleaning mode is exclusively dry.
The advantages of the KT-531 vacuum cleaner are two side brushes. Doubling the number of such cleaning tools compared to classic models leads to increased speed and better cleaning quality.
Owners also highlight its reliability among its advantages, affordable price tag and the ability to perform excellent cleaning duties.
The only downside is the lack of a wet cleaning option and related accessories.
Place #5 – Kitfort KT-527
Wireless model vertical harvesting machine. In fact, it is a universal tool, because it can easily be transformed into a mobile hand-held device.
This type of technology is now in high demand. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Kitfort vacuum cleaner model KT-527 reached fifth position in the TOP 10 rating.
This technique is based on wireless technologies. A vertical vacuum cleaner will not replace a robot, but the quality of cleaning with this machine will clearly not suffer. On the contrary, the manufacturer claims impressive results.
This device for household cleaning is equipped with a rotating turbo brush, the design of which, among other things, is complemented by a backlight lamp.
With such a tool, cleaning becomes possible in almost any place and even where there is a lack of lighting. By the way, it is permissible to “place” the brush not only on the working rod, but also on a flexible hose.
The waste container is easily removable and washable. When operating, the owner of the vacuum cleaner has two operating speeds available. On low, the operating time is limited to 40 minutes, and on high, the machine works for about 25 minutes.
Processing objects:
- household;
- dacha farming;
- offices;
- car showrooms.
A 22.2 volt battery with a capacity of 2200 mAh is used for power supply.
Compactness of a vertical vacuum cleaner - a clear advantage for owners of housing with a small living space. In a parking lot, the KT-527 does not take up much space.In addition, the design allows for partial disassembly, which leads to additional space savings.
Among the disadvantages, users point out the small dust collector, inconvenient emptying it and the long battery charging time. Although 240 minutes is a pretty good indicator.
Place #6 – Kitfort KT-509
Another one vertical model, labeled as Kitfort KT-509. True, wireless technologies were not used in this version. The developers decided to limit themselves to the cable power supply option.
More powerful design than KT-527 (650W vs 90W). However, this machine already belongs to the category of vacuum cleaner designs that receive power via a cable. Accordingly, sixth place in the ranking, since wired models are slightly less popular than wireless systems.
The machine's filtration system is based on a cyclone design with HEPA filter. An easily removable waste collection container (1.2 l) is used.
The filter elements used are washable. The device supports transformation from a vertical model to mobile hand model.
Meanwhile, the system is quite noisy, which the owners note as a clear disadvantage. According to technical parameters, the noise level is 80 dB. But in practice it feels like 85 dB. True, the unenviable noise characteristics are compensated by the low weight of the equipment - a maximum of 2 kg.
Users consider the main advantages of this model high power, convenience when processing various types of surfaces, great price.
Place #7 – Kitfort KT-525
Upright vacuum cleaner KT-525 resembles something original in technological design. But all the originality is the cyclone filter, which has already proven itself in practice, combined with designer fantasies.
This version of the harvesting machine comes in three modifications. Each one is distinguished by certain types of design, in particular, color design. However, in terms of technical characteristics, all three modifications are almost identical.
The typical design of the model is a wired connection to the electrical network. Power consumption – 600 W. This version is not as noisy as the previous one (76 dB), but has less suction power.
The structure is also based on cyclonic filtration incoming air. Coarse and fine filters are washable. The set of working attachments includes three brushes for different surfaces and cleaning conditions.
The vacuum cleaner transforms from a vertical state to compact handheld device. Moreover, the transformation is performed literally at the touch of a button.
This point is noted as useful by many users, as it makes it possible to quickly switch from one type of cleaning to another. They also appreciated the long cord, ease of use.
The downsides are flimsy plastic, creaking of individual components and an inconvenient main attachment.
Place #8 – Kitfort KT-513
An ergonomic and relatively lightweight (3 kg) cleaning system, which can be used both for cleaning local areas and for general cleaning.
Nothing supernatural. Small in size motor, rod and working attachment. This simplicity contributed to the model getting into the coveted eight, since the buyer never refused an affordable price.
The design of Kitfort KT-513 is based on the principle of cyclonic air flow filtration. The trash container (0.4 l capacity) is removed as dust accumulates and emptied in one motion.The dust collector is equipped with a fine filter, which can be washed if cleaning is necessary.
Compact design of the device increases the feeling of comfort when working. However, judging by the reviews of the owners, the suction power of this model leaves much to be desired, despite the declared power of 500 W.
However, eighth place in the ranking, which can most likely be explained by the attractive external side of the design. Meanwhile, the appearance, created on the basis of plastic, also does not inspire much confidence in terms of reliability of operation.
This model, like all similar ones, has transformation function. That is, the machine is quickly and easily transferred from one operating mode to another. Simply detach the floor rod to create a manual vacuum cleaner.
Another advantage is ease of management and maintenance, quick cleaning of the garbage bin.
Place #9 – Kitfort KT-522
In ninth position is classic design — Kitfort KT-522. This model is presented on the market in three modifications, the differences between which are actually determined only by the color of the case.
The Kitfort KT-522 model, which has already become a classic, seems to be the best option for the average buyer. Sufficient efficiency, good power and a very low price.
The power consumption declared by the manufacturer reaches 1400 W. The filtration system is cyclone, supplemented with coarse and fine filter elements. The volume of the garbage collector is 2 liters.
The working attachments are mounted on a rod tube (telescope) made of light metal. In turn, the rod tube is connected to the vacuum cleaner through a flexible corrugated hose. In general, this is a classic of household cleaning machines.
The development is a representative of wired cleaning systems - connection to the electrical network via cable. The five-meter-long electrical cord automatically winds and unwinds as needed.
The following disadvantages were noted: the machine is quite noisy (80 dB) and also a little heavy in relation to female labor (5.6 kg). True, if we take into account the movement of the vacuum cleaner using large diameter wheels, this factor can be ignored.
As for the advantages, here is high powerallowing for carpet cleaning, Ease of use, practical dust collector.
Place #10 – Kitfort KT-529
Tenth place in the ranking, according to user preferences, was exclusively given to manual model KT-529 brand Kitfort. The device is a super portable cordless handheld vacuum cleaner - it's one of those useful things that are very helpful, for example, in cleaning the inside of a car.
Similar designs of vacuum cleaners are also popular among consumers of household cleaning equipment. Despite its small dimensions and low power (40 W), the manual machine copes not only with dust, but also sucks up liquid.
The design accommodates a small container for garbage collection. This element provides dust collection in a volume of 0.55 liters, and in the case of liquid collection - 0.15 liters.
Considering that the system is battery-powered, a charging base station (9.6 V, 0.25 A) is supplied with the machine.
The set of nozzles consists of three working elements: silicone, pile and crevice nozzle. which users note as a virtue. Another advantage is the lightness of the design - the weight of a hand-held vacuum cleaner is no more than 1.25 kg when fully equipped.
A relatively quiet model (70 dB), the operating time of which, with a fully charged battery, is 18 minutes. The owners consider short service life to be the main disadvantage of the device.
Recommendations for potential buyers
What are the typical recommendations for potential buyers in the case of household vacuum cleaners produced by Kitfort? First of all, the warranty period established for all types of cleaning equipment. The TOP 10 rating overlooks this factor, but in vain.
If you pay attention to the stated warranty period, the manufacturer Kitfort does not provide more than 1 year. What is 1 year of operation of a vacuum cleaner?
You could say this is my first acquaintance with a household cleaning machine. It turns out that before you get to know the device, it’s time to say goodbye.
The next point is the unreasonably low prices of some household cleaning machines. The brand's catalog of vacuum cleaners contains models that cost 2,000 rubles. Serious equipment, in principle, cannot cost that kind of money. Then what do such price tags hide?
Thus, when choosing something from the products of the manufacturer in question, you should not buy “in a hurry.” It is recommended to take a closer look. Carefully study the offers, characteristics, study the ratings.
A scrupulous approach to selection will leave a greater chance of acquiring high-quality equipment at an affordable price.

I own a Kitfotr vacuum cleaner, namely the KT-518 (robot) model, so I took it out to try, so to speak. To be honest, for some reason I didn’t expect anything supernatural from the Russian brand, and besides, it’s a fairly budget option for me ($150). But fortunately my expectations were not met, it’s a good device for its price, I’ve been using it for about 2 months. There are no complaints about the assembly and quality of materials, I recommend trying it if you don’t want to spend a large amount of money on a robot vacuum cleaner.
Is Kitfort a Russian company that assembles from foreign components or is everything completely domestic?
Hello. The company's products are assembled in China, but in general, the founding company is located in Russia.
Don’t tell me my sneakers are a robot vacuum cleaner :))) tell me how much time and swearing you need to clean long hair from the brushes of this device :))) this is completely a toy for tiled floors and amusement for cats.
Hello.How much long hair does it take and how long does it take not to clean up in order to clog the brushes so much that it takes a long time to clean them with obscenities? 🙂
