BlitzWolf® BW-AR182 2-in-1 Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

BlitzWolf is a dynamically developing brand offering cheap consumer electronics. Their products are available mainly in Banggood, a popular Chinese electronics store. There you will also buy the presented model of BlitzWolf Bw-AR182 vertical vacuum cleaner depending on the promotion and the dollar exchange rate for about $82.99.

Before we start, we should charge the battery to full capacity. Use the supplied charger to do this. Although the product is shipped from China, we get a factory-made European plug (no need for adapters, etc.). Charging the device is easier, because the vacuum cleaner battery is detached and we can easily charge it in any place without pulling all the equipment. The battery has purple diodes informing us about the level of charge.

There are 3 nozzles and a vacuum cleaner extension pipe available. Depending on what we plan to vacuum, choose the right nozzle and decide if we need a pipe. At this point, it is worth noting that all 3 ends can be connected directly to the central unit, as well as to the extension pipe. Installation is very easy and stable thanks to the appropriate clips.

Starting the vacuum cleaner is very intuitive – with a button on the handle like a trigger. Press it once to start the vacuum cleaner in basic mode, press it twice to turn it off. You don’t have to hold the button while vacuuming.

In basic mode, the vacuum cleaner operates quite quietly and with a force of 5 kPa. However, this is not a high power output. It is enough to collect crumbs from the floor, but it may not be enough for more difficult tasks.

Fortunately, we can easily increase the speed with a button on the robot’s spine. After pressing it, the power increases to 9kPa.

This is already a decent result and we can try to vacuum more difficult places with this power, especially we can vacuum carpets. The increased power mode is of course more energy-consuming, but the battery still allows for 20 minutes of operation in this mode. The effectiveness of vacuuming in the case of the basic tip is increased by the turbo brush, which very quickly rotates driven by the motor.

For vacuuming smaller and more difficult to reach areas we have two smaller nozzles to choose from – narrow and bristled. These nozzles will be useful when vacuuming furniture or car interiors.

The whole is very compact and well thought-out. The set includes the most necessary accessories of decent quality. The turbo brush drives very well on the floor and thanks to its flexibility is able to quickly get to hard-to-reach places (rotates by 130 degrees).

The dust container is quite large and can be easily emptied using the bottom flap. The dust container can also be fully unfastened to clean it from the inside.

To sum up, I think that BlitzWolf BW-Ar182 is a great device for its price. It offers slightly less power than the more expensive models of competitors, but it is also a wireless and universal vacuum cleaner. As a basic vacuum cleaner in a large house it may not be enough, but it will certainly be a great addition to a vacuum cleaner or a bachelor vacuum cleaner. It is lightweight, takes up little space and allows for long and comfortable vacuuming without the need to pull the cable.
