Isisindo, ubude bezintambo nezinye izici okufanele zicatshangelwe lapho uthenga omunye wemishini ezinikele
Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi zabathengisi kuwebhusayithi yethu, singase sizuze amakhomishana ezinkampani eziphethwe.U-100% wezindleko esizikhokhisayo zisetshenziselwa ukusekela umgomo wethu ongenzi nzuzo.Funda kabanzi.
Uma unekhaya elimatasa elinokhaphethi abaningi, isicoci sekhaphethi esizinikele singase sibe isengezo esihlakaniphile ekunyakaziseni umshini wakho wokuhlanza.Ingasusa ngokushesha ukungcola namabala ngendlela ngisho nabacoci be-vacuum abangcono kakhulu abangakwazi ngayo.
“Abahlanzi bakakhaphethi bahluke ngokuphelele kubahlanzi be-vacuum abavamile abaqondile,” kusho u-Larry Ciufo, owengamele ukuhlolwa kokuhlanza ukhaphethi kwe-Consumer Reports.Eqinisweni, “imiyalelo yale mishini ikutshela ukuthi usebenzise isicoci semishini esivamile ukuze uhlanze phansi kuqala, bese usebenzisa isicoci sikakhaphethi ukuze ususe ukungcola okugxilile.”
Ezivivinyweni zethu, intengo yabahlanzi bekhaphethi ibisukela cishe ku-$100 kuya cishe ku-$500, kodwa akudingekile ukuba uchithe imali eshisiwe ukuze uthole umata ongenabala.
Ngochungechunge lwethu lokuhlola ukusebenza kokuhlanza, isicoci sikakhaphethi sithatha izinsuku ezintathu ukuqeda.Onjiniyela bethu bagcoba ubumba olubomvu lwaseGeorgia kumabhulokhi amakhulu okhaphethi onayiloni omhlophe.Basebenzisa isicoci sikakhaphethi kukhaphethi imijikelezo emine yokumanzi kanye nemijikelezo emine eyomile ukuze balingise abathengi abahlanza izindawo ezingcolile ikakhulukazi kukhaphethi.Base bephinda ukuhlolwa kwamanye amasampula amabili.
Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa, ochwepheshe bethu basebenzise i-colorimeter (ithuluzi elikala ukumuncwa kwamaza okukhanya amaza) ukuze bafunde ama-wavevel angama-60 kukhaphethi ngamunye esivivinyweni ngasinye: 20 asesimweni “esiluhlaza,” futhi angu-20 ayathathwa.Ngemuva kokungcola, nangemva kokuhlanza okungu-20.Ukufundwa okungu-60 kwamasampula amathathu kwenza isamba sokufundwa kwe-180 imodeli ngayinye.
Cabanga ukusebenzisa omunye wale mishini yokuhlanza enamandla?Kunezinto ezinhlanu okufanele uzikhumbule lapho uthenga.
1. Isicoci sikakhaphethi siyasinda uma singenalutho, futhi sisinda kakhulu uma ithangi likaphethiloli ligcwaliswa.Ukwengeza isisombululo sokuhlanza kumodeli esilinganisweni sethu kuzongeza amaphawundi angu-6 kuya kwangu-15.Sibala isisindo esingenalutho nesigcwele sokuhlanza ukhaphethi ekhasini ngalinye lemodeli.
Isicoci esikhulu kunazo zonke ovivinyweni lwethu, i-Bissell Big Green Machine Professional 86T3, isisindo samakhilogremu angu-58 uma sigcwele futhi kungase kube nzima kumuntu oyedwa ukuthi ayisebenze.Enye yezinhlobo ezilula kakhulu esizihlolile i-Hoover PowerDash Pet FH50700, enesisindo esingamaphawundi angu-12 uma ingenalutho kanye namaphawundi angu-20 uma ithangi ligcwele.
2. Ukuhlanza ukhaphethi okuvamile, isisombululo esijwayelekile sanele.Abakhiqizi batusa ukuthi usebenzise uhlobo lwabo loketshezi lokuhlanza ngezinto zokuhlanza ukhaphethi, kodwa bangase bathengise ishumi nambili noma ngaphezulu izinhlobo zezihlanzi ezikhethekile.
Ukuze kuhlanzwe ukhaphethi okuvamile, asikho isidingo sokususa amabala.Uma unamabala anenkani, njengezilwane ezifuywayo ezingcolile, ungazama izixazululo ezithengiswa ngamabala anjalo.
3. Hlola isilungiselelo, okunamathiselwe kanye nobude bepayipi.Abanye abahlanza ukhaphethi banethangi lamanzi elilodwa kuphela noketshezi lokuhlanza.Kodwa sakuthola kulula kakhulu ukuba namathange amanzi amabili ahlukene, elinye eliwamanzi nelilodwa elokuhlanza uketshezi.Abanye baze baxube ngaphambili isixazululo namanzi emshinini ukuze ungalilinganisi ithangi eligcwele lamanzi njalo.Bheka futhi isibambo ukuze kube lula ukuhambisa umshini.
Izilungiselelo okufanele zicatshangelwe: Abanye abakhiqizi bathi amamodeli abo angakwazi ukuhlanza phansi okuqinile njengokhuni namathayili nokhaphethi.Kukhona futhi abahlanzi bekhaphethi abanesimo esomile kuphela, ukuze ukwazi ukumunca amanzi amaningi ngemva kokuhlanza kokuqala, okungase kusheshise isikhathi sokumisa.
Abahloli bethu baqaphele ukuthi ubude bepayipi buyahlukahluka kakhulu.Amanye amamodeli ane-hose engama-intshi angu-61;abanye banepayipi elingu-155-intshi.Uma udinga ukuhlanza izindawo okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo, bheka amamodeli anamapayipi amade.“Uma izitebhisi zakho zinokhaphethi, uzodinga amapayipi amade ukuze ufike ezitebhisini,” kusho uCiufo.“Khumbula, le mishini inzima.Ngemva kokudonsa ipayipi kude kakhulu, awufuni ukuthi imishini iwe ezitebhisini.”
4. Isicoci sikakhaphethi sinomsindo omkhulu.Isicoci se-vacuum esivamile singakhiqiza ama-decibel angu-70 omsindo.Izihlanzi zikakhaphethi ziphakeme kakhulu-ezivivinyweni zethu, izinga lomsindo eliphakathi lalingama-decibel angu-80.(Kuma-decibel, ukufundwa kwama-80 kuphindwe kabili kunama-70.) Kuleli zinga le-decibel, sincoma ukuthi ugqoke isivikelo sokuzwa, ikakhulukazi uma usebenzisa umshini isikhathi eside.Ngakho-ke, sicela uthenge ama-headphone akhansela umsindo noma ama-earplugs aqinisekisa ukufika ku-85 dBA.(Bheka lawa macebiso ukuze uvimbele ukungezwa.)
5. Ukuhlanza kuthatha isikhathi.Isicoci se-vacuum singaphuma ekhabetheni futhi silungele ukusetshenziswa.Kodwa kuthiwani ngokuhlanza ukhaphethi?Hhayi kangako.Okokuqala, kufanele ususe ifenisha endaweni ohlele ukuyihlanza, bese ucoca ukhaphethi.Okulandelayo, gcwalisa umshini ngoketshezi lokuhlanza namanzi.
Uma usebenzisa isicoci sokhaphethi, ungasiphusha futhi usidonse njengesicoci se-vacuum.Phusha isicoci sekhaphethi sibe ubude bengalo, bese usibuyisela emuva ngenkathi uqhubeka nokudonsa i-trigger.Ngomjikelezo owomile, khulula i-trigger bese uqedela izinyathelo ezifanayo.
Ukumunca isisombululo sokuhlanza kukhaphethi, sebenzisa isicoci sekhaphethi ukusomisa.Uma ukhaphethi usangcole kakhulu, phinda ukomisa nokumanzisa kabili kuze kube yilapho uketshezi lokuhlanza olukhishwe kukhaphethi luhlanzekile.Uma usunelisekile, yeka ukhaphethi wome ngokuphelele, bese ungena kukhaphethi noma ushintshe ifenisha.
Awukakaqedi.Ngemva kokujabulela umsebenzi wakho, kufanele ukhiphe umshini ngokulandela imiyalelo ekubhulashi lomsebenzisi, uhlanze ithange lamanzi, futhi ukhiphe yonke imfucumfucu ebhulashini.
Qhubeka ufunde ukuze uthole izilinganiso nezibuyekezo zamamodeli amathathu angcono kakhulu okuhlanza ukhaphethi okusekelwe ekuhlolweni kwakamuva kwe-CR.
Ngithanda ukuphambana phakathi komklamo nobuchwepheshe—noma ngabe i-drywall noma isicoci se-robotic vacuum—nokuthi inhlanganisela eba umphumela ibathinta kanjani abathengi.Ngibhale izindatshana ngezindaba zamalungelo abathengi zokushicilelwa okufana ne-The Atlantic, PC Magazine, ne-Popular Science, futhi manje ngiyajabula ukubhekana nalesi sihloko se-CR.Ukuze uthole izibuyekezo, sicela ukhululeke ukungilandela ku-Twitter (@haniyarae).
