Vacuum cleaner for manicure: what is it, how to choose and use?

When the word "vacuum cleaner", many have associations associated with a household cleaning appliance. However, professionals in the field of manicure know that a vacuum cleaner is needed not only for cleaning an apartment, but also for removing dust that occurs during nail extension. A manicure vacuum cleaner is necessary both for maintaining a clean workplace in the salon and for home use.

When polishing or sanding nails, there are always remnants of horny tissue, sawn-off pieces of nails, old varnish and paint - all this turns into dust that must be removed. A manicure vacuum cleaner is an irreplaceable device for this. Without timely cleaning of dust, particles of harmful elements - solvents and pigments - can float in the air, get into the lungs, all this can provoke allergies, tracheitis and other ailments of the respiratory tract.

Harmful nail particles that enter the body along with the inhaled air can negatively affect the skin and lead to headaches. In addition, dust accidentally entering the eye can cause severe inflammation of the optic organ. The desktop should be cleaned during each nail extension procedure. In addition, a clean workplace always makes a good impression on customers, and the foreman himself is much more pleasant to work in cleanliness. If you buy a high-quality manicure vacuum cleaner, it will give the salon a respectable look.

The device is a plastic or metal case.The electric motor drives the fan blades, while its rotation speed is about 2500-3000 rpm. Getting into the device, harmful elements are separated and accumulated in a special bag. During operation, it is worth paying special attention to the timely cleaning of this reservoir; in addition, disposable dust collectors can be used.

If the master has technical skills, then you can even try to make such a vacuum cleaner yourself. The design is a housing with a fan and a dust bag installed inside. To make a device yourself, you can turn to the help of the Internet. Here are many videos on assembling a manicure vacuum cleaner. The main element could be, for example, a computer cooler. This option can significantly save money when arranging a workplace for a manicure.

It is a device in the form of a palm rest. A very convenient option for those who prefer to go home to a client. The tabletop equipment is lightweight (up to 1.5 kg) and small in size; it does not take up much space on the table. Outwardly, it looks quite simple, it is inexpensive, in addition, a wide variety of models are presented in specialized departments and on Internet sites.

The device works by connecting to the mains via the power cord. Therefore, when choosing a place to work in a client's home, the foreman should be guided by the presence of an outlet. The mechanism of operation consists in the action of a fan, which is protected by a metal grill. You can carry out the process of building and correcting nails directly on the plastic case - all the dust will be automatically drawn into the hood.

This option is suitable for those who value the existing space for work. The metal mesh, behind which the hood is located, is installed directly into the desktop itself. Therefore, this type is recommended to be mounted by craftsmen who have already decided exactly on the place of work. During nail correction, the hood is located clearly under the client's hands, which brings comfort to both the client and the master. In addition, this option looks quite aesthetically pleasing.

The advantages of the mortise version are high power and the ability to work without interruption for several hours. The disadvantages include the inability to work when performing a pedicure. Italian built-in models have been highly appreciated by professionals; they have long warranty periods. You can buy a simpler vacuum cleaner, which is made of plastic with a slight addition of metal elements.

This option also has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include high power: in the shortest possible time, this vacuum cleaner will remove a large amount of dust. The device itself is a floor-standing equipment with a massive body, which includes an electric motor, a fan and a dust collector. An exhaust hose goes from the structure, which sucks in the remnants of the sawn nails. Relatively speaking, all the dust is drawn up.

To make the right choice and purchase exactly the vacuum cleaner that will be most convenient for the master, you need to carefully read the instructions and technical characteristics of the model you like. Use a few guidelines when choosing equipment.

• Pay attention to power. The indicated power consumption has nothing to do with dust suction.
• The most important criterion is the number of fan revolutions. Choose a machine with a value of 2600-2800 rpm. If the fan produces more revolutions, then it is capable of making a louder noise.
• Check out data such as the number of cubic meters of air that are circulated. For the vacuum cleaner to work with maximum efficiency, this parameter should be about 300 cubic meters per hour.
• Read the instruction manual. Perhaps, the coating of the device can be destroyed by contact with those chemical elements that the master prefers to use in his work.
• Make sure the cabinet is easy to clean. It is better to choose options in which the grill and fan blades can be cleaned if necessary.
• Check how easy and convenient it is to remove and install dust bags.
• Give preference to devices with a shallow grille, then objects that accidentally fall into will not damage the fan blades.
• It is important to read the warranty and manufacturer information. Below is a list of the most preferred options.

According to experts, it is a very powerful apparatus. The fan runs at 65 W. Refers to portable devices. The unambiguous advantages include low noise level (the device is audible only indoors), high power, low weight (only about 1.6 kg). The craftsmen also highlight the elegance of the device. It has a rounded shape, and the grille itself is hidden, due to which the design can be called ergonomic.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting the absence of an additional bag for collecting dust. Instead, the appliance is equipped with a multi-layer dust collector that needs to be shaken out after 4-5 clients. In addition, some craftsmen attribute high power to the disadvantages of the product. This is explained by the fact that the vacuum cleaner sucks in dust at full power, respectively, one reusable bag, if it is not new, can pass dust particles through the walls at the same power. Therefore, specialists working with this model prefer to turn on the device at partial power.

The masters also give the following advice on working with this equipment: it is recommended to cut your nails directly above the hole and do not block it with your hands, since the dust is carried away from the fan from the strong air flow. Also, according to experts, despite the manufacturer's assurances about the possibility of working without a mask, this rule should not be neglected when working with this vacuum cleaner.

Another portable option is the Emil X2. The device is domestically produced. Fan blade rotation speed - 3100 rpm. The power of the device is slightly lower than the above model - 60 W, but its weight is much higher - 3.2 kg. Among the advantages of the device are its respectable appearance, white plastic casing, pleasant to the touch, and ease of use. It is very convenient to keep your hands on the body during operation.

The masters who chose this model recommend cleaning the dust bag after each procedure, and also gently wipe the protective grill with soapy water so that moisture does not get inside.

The most suitable option for novice craftsmen. Firstly, this is a very easy-to-use model, and, secondly, its cost is within the reach of almost everyone. The weight of the device is only 1 kg, and the power is 24 W.The body is made of special plastic that can withstand the effects of chemical components. Diminutiveness is the main advantage of this option. Novice craftsmen often do not have time to acquire their own workplace early, and therefore work at the client's home. The Ultratech model is very transportable and is appreciated by amateurs for this. The pluses also include the presence of spare bags and a pretty appearance. The device looks like an ordinary palm rest, smooth and pleasant to the touch.

The main disadvantage of the device is its noisy operation, therefore, during the procedure, a conversation with a client is almost impossible. In addition, there is a partial emission of dust to the outside, this problem is especially relevant in cases where the dust collector is overfilled. Therefore, the bag should be emptied after 3-4 clients. Masters advise to choose this model not only for novice manicurists, but also for those who prefer to build their own nails on their own. It is also recommended to operate the machine at high speeds, due to which the noise level is significantly reduced thanks to long-term rolling bearings.

The Tornado manicure hood is another version of Russian production. According to the manufacturer himself, the device cleans the air by 90–95%. The advantages include removable charcoal and dust filters, as well as the presence of a bright LED lamp in the chimney, which greatly simplifies the process of work, and also eliminates the need for additional lighting. The power of the equipment is 200 W, the fan rotates at 2600 rpm.

Examining the reviews of the masters, we can conclude that the most optimal option when choosing a manicure vacuum cleaner is a portable model. Firstly, it allows you to easily change the workplace, and, secondly, to install it, you do not need to carry out additional steps. When installing a built-in hood, work should be carried out to cut-in the device, floor equipment requires freeing up space near the table, and such problems do not arise with a portable device. It is much easier to change such a device in the event of the expiration of the warranty period than floor-standing or built-in devices.

As for the models, there is no unequivocal opinion here. The masters are unanimous only that foreign and domestic versions practically do not differ. Products from specific manufacturers receive both positive and negative reviews. For example, according to consumers who have used the Max vacuum cleaner, it is better to purchase a more expensive model with a fine grill, since the alternative, although cheaper, is traumatic. The bundled bag is quite dense, which is undoubtedly an advantage of the model, but it is only one, which should be attributed to the disadvantages.
