Robotic vacuum cleaners are the king of smart cleaning these days, but there are still a number of situations where you simply can't do without a proper stick. And it's at times like these that models like Eureka RapidWash NEW430 GX5 Pro as a modern cordless vacuum cleaner that combines high performance, sophisticated design and surprisingly intelligent functions. Does that sound like a marketing phrase? It was with this expectation that I started testing it and nestI was amazed at how much this device was able to surprise me.
Technical specifications, processing and design
At first glance, the Eureka RapidWash NEW430 is a very elegant and mature-looking appliance. The design, which will fit into a modern household without any problems, combines matte and glossy plastic surfaces with several practical details that you will appreciate immediately after the first use. The body of the vacuum cleaner is perfectly balanced, weighs 8,16 kg and thanks to the sophisticated design of the handle and the joint between the body and the head, it is easy to maneuver, even around furniture or in corners.
The main brush uses technology RollRefresh™, which spins it up to 450 revolutions per minute during operation. Thanks to the double anti-winding system and zero edge, it reaches walls and skirting boards perfectly, and all this without unnecessary maintenance. The transparent water tank then gives you a great overview of its status and also pleases the well-arranged LED display with voice announcements. The engine is responsible for the performance BLDC s maxwith maximum suction power 15 Pa, which is more than some robot vacuum cleaners at twice the price. If you are interested in charging, it is done via a charging dock, in which you simply place the vacuum cleaner and let it fully charge.
Testing
Before I started RapidWash for the first time, I felt like I knew what to expect. I thought it was just a stick vacuum cleaner like any other, maybe with some tricks. But the first few minutes convinced me otherwise. The vacuum cleaner "drives itself", literally. All it really needs to do is set the direction and the integrated drive takes care of the rest, which pulls the vacuum cleaner forward and makes it easier to handle. This detail is absolutely invaluable for larger areas and reduces fatigue during longer cleaning sessions.
Switching between modes Eco, Turbo and Dry is a matter of one press, voice notifications are pleasantly discreet and not intrusive. An interesting option is the Dry mode, when the vacuum cleaner works purely as a dry vacuum cleaner, which is ideal for quickly covering the floor without the need for mopping. However, mopping is what you want to enjoy with this vacuum cleaner. But let's get back to vacuuming for a moment.
The vacuuming performance itself is really excellent. The brush works reliably even on rough floors or in corners where dust remains. I didn't notice any tangled hair, even when cleaning two cats - one two-legged and one four-legged. The tangles that normally force me to disassemble the brush every two weeks on the older model are a thing of the past.
When you arrive home with wet soles, or you have children who bring slush from outside, then you will appreciate the mopping capabilities. The brush not only vacuums, but also moistens and scrubs the floor at the same time. And it does this really well. Thanks to the "mops" rotating against each other, the floor is washed very precisely, even if it is already really dirty. Sure, with dried mud marks it was sometimes necessary to go over it twice, but the result was perfect every time - the floor is clean, no streaks, no residue. What's also great is that the vacuum cleaner does not over-wet the floor, thanks to which there is no risk of it ruining it and you can be sure that it will dry quickly.
After the cleaning is finished, he starts self-cleaning cycle, which is also very interesting in itself. Inserting it into the base and pressing a button starts a sequence during which the brush is rinsed and dried with warm air. No odors, no bacteria, no wet rollers waiting for manual intervention. Everything is perfectly automated in this respect and all you have to do is add water to the clean water tank, or pour out the one that is dirty after cleaning in the lower tank. Add to this the easily removable dirty water filter and we have a solution that takes care of itself.
The battery life in my case was approximately 35 minutes of real operation, which was enough to clean a two-story apartment of about 90 square meters. Charging then took a little over three hours.
Summary
Eureka RapidWash NEW430 GX5 Pro is a vacuum cleaner that will win you over before you even get to the next room.
