I’ve been using it at home, and my Dyson DC74 has finally passed away.
Since it’s a 2013 model, it lasted quite a long time.
I could still use it if I wanted to, but… it looks like it might break or crack soon.
Over the past few years, my home appliances have been breaking down one after another, which is really frustrating (;∀;)
Here’s a soft review of the BALMUDA The Cleaner Lite.
A great invention from Company D.
It adopts a cyclone structure that resists suction loss
and is a masterpiece that achieves handy yet powerful cleaning while conquering the world.
There were some concerns like loud noise, needing a brush to empty the trash, the hassle of buying genuine batteries, and quirky colors,
but
there’s no doubt that it’s incredibly durable.
By the way, I also use Dyson at my shop, so it’s quite suitable for commercial use as well.
BALMUDA The Cleaner Lite
The design and function are extremely simple.
When disassembled, it’s this compact. You can just press the button and pull.
It’s quick-spec and really shows they thought about the consumer.
Operation is simple—just press the button
or hold it down (/・ω・)/
The noise is incomparably quieter than Dyson, but since it’s a vacuum cleaner, don’t expect too much.
You can distinguish between STD and high power by the lamp color. Though you can tell by the sound anyway.
The structure is slightly different from Dyson.
Dyson has the motor and dust collection part in the handle,
while Balmuda has the motor and dust collection part on the lower side.
I suspect they moved the motor to the lower side to keep it simple, light, and compact. In other words, I think they’ve kept the performance to the bare minimum necessary.
You can clean with incomparably more agility compared to Dyson.
They really nailed it calling it a hovercraft—you can clean with an unbelievably light touch.
With Dyson, you feel like it’s sucking (you feel like you’re cleaning),
It’s so abnormally light that you wonder if it’s even sucking.
The lower part doesn’t rotate, but the 360-degree flexible structure makes it even more agile.
This accordion part will probably tear from deterioration, but wear is inevitable.
I suspect there aren’t many vacuum cleaners this agile.
The dust collection box capacity is small.
Well, you just need to empty it every time or every other time.
A small capacity is actually good because you won’t accumulate too much.
And like Company D, emptying the trash is stress-free.
With a wide opening, trash doesn’t get stuck and empties smoothly (*’ω’*)
Everything comes apart with just one button.
If you think that’s a hassle, you should reconsider your life.
Of course, there’s an included stand, so you rarely need to disassemble it like this.
When using the short nozzle, you need to shorten the rod too, or it’ll be hard to use.
I’ve rambled on, but Balmuda’s home appliances are quite excellent.
・You can clean with an unbelievably light touch
・Emptying trash is easy
・Even switching from Dyson, the performance is comparable and you might even think it’s sucking better
・Consumables are readily available
・The design is amazing
If you’re switching from Company D, I think anyone would be satisfied with the finish.
BALMUDA The Cleaner Lite
I have a feeling products in this range will go up in price, so why not consider it before year-end cleaning?
Also, if you go to Aoyama, you can experience it in person, and on the second floor you can also experience light meals using Balmuda products, so if the timing works out, please do (*’ω’*)
