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

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

When polishing or polishing nails, there are always remains of horn tissue, sawn parts of nails, old varnish and paint - all this turns into dust that needs to be removed. A manicure vacuum cleaner is an indispensable device for this. Without timely dust removal, particles of harmful elements - solvents and pigments - can soar in the air, get into the lungs, all this can provoke the occurrence of allergies, tracheitis and cause other ailments of the respiratory tract.

Harmful particles of nails that enter the body along with inhaled air can negatively affect the skin and lead to headaches. In addition, due to dust accidentally entering the eye, serious inflammation of the visual organ can occur. Cleaning the desktop should be done during each nail extension procedure. In addition, a clean workplace always makes a good impression on customers, and it’s much more pleasant for the master himself to work clean. If you purchase a high-quality manicure vacuum cleaner, this 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. Once in the device, harmful elements are separated and accumulated in a special bag. During operation, special attention should be paid to timely cleaning of this tank, 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 case with a fan installed inside and a bag for collecting dust. To make the device yourself, you can turn to the help of the Internet. Here are a lot of videos on the assembly of a manicure vacuum cleaner. The main element may be, for example, a computer cooler. This option can significantly save money when arranging a workplace for performing manicure.

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

The device works by connecting to the network through the power cord. Therefore, choosing a place to work in the house of the client, the master should be guided by the presence of an outlet. The mechanism of operation is the action of a fan, which is protected by a metal grill. The process of building and correction of nails can be done directly on the plastic case - all the dust will be automatically drawn into the hood.

This option is suitable for those who are very dear to the existing space for work. The metal mesh, behind which the hood is located, is installed directly in the desktop itself. Therefore, this variety is recommended to be mounted to masters who have already precisely decided on the place of work. During the correction of nails, the hood is located clearly under the client’s hands, which provides comfort to both the client and the master. In addition, this option looks quite aesthetically pleasing.

The advantages of the mortise variety are high power and the possibility of uninterrupted operation for several hours. The disadvantages include the inability to work when performing a pedicure. Italian built-in models were highly praised 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 its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include high power: for a minimum period, this vacuum cleaner will eliminate a large amount of dust. The device itself is a floor equipment with a massive body, which includes an electric motor, fan and dust collector. From the construction comes an exhaust hose, which sucks in the remnants of sawn nails. Relatively speaking, all 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 recommendations when choosing equipment.

• Pay attention to power. The indicated power consumption is in no way associated with dust retraction.
• The most important criterion is the number of fan revolutions. Choose a machine with a value of 2600-2800 rpm. If the fan will produce more revolutions, then it is able to produce a louder noise.
• Check out data such as the number of cubic meters of air driven. In order 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 may be destroyed by contact with those chemical elements that the master prefers to use in work.
• Check that the housing is easy to clean. It is better to choose options in which the grill and fan blades can be cleaned if necessary.
• Check how easily and conveniently dust bags are removed and installed.
• Give preference to devices with a fine lattice, then accidentally caught objects will not lead to damage to 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, a very powerful device. The fan runs at 65 watts. Applies to portable devices. The unique advantages include a low noise level (the device is audible only indoors), high power, low weight (only about 1.6 kg). Masters also highlight the elegance of the device. It has rounded shapes, and the lattice itself is hidden, due to which the design can be called ergonomic.

Of the minuses, it is worth noting the absence of an additional dust bag. Instead, the device is equipped with a multi-layer dust collector, which must be shaken out after 4–5 clients. In addition, some masters attribute high power to the shortcomings of the goods. This is explained by the fact that the vacuum cleaner at full power absorbs dust, 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 incomplete power.

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

Another portable option is Emil X2. The device is domestic production. The fan speed is 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, its respectable appearance, a pleasant to the touch white plastic case, and ease of operation are distinguished. During operation, hands are very comfortable to hold on the body.

Masters who choose this model recommend cleaning the dust bag after each procedure, as well as gently wiping the protective grill with soapy water so that moisture does not get inside.

The most suitable option for beginners. Firstly, it is a very easy-to-use model, and secondly, its cost is affordable for almost everyone. The weight of the device is only 1 kg, and the power is 24 watts.The case is made of special plastic, which is resistant to the effects of chemical components. Miniature is the main plus of this option. Novice masters often do not have time to get their own workplace early, and therefore work at the client’s home. The Ultratech model is very portable and appreciated by amateurs. The pluses include the availability of spare bags and a nice appearance. In appearance, the device resembles a regular palm rest, smooth and pleasant to the touch.

The main disadvantage of the device is its noisy work, so during the procedure a conversation with a client is almost impossible. In addition, there is a partial emission of dust to the outside, especially this problem is relevant in cases when the dust collector is full. In this regard, the bag should be cleaned after 3-4 customers. Masters advise choosing this model not only for beginning manicurists, but also for those who prefer to independently grow their nails. It is also recommended to work with the device at high speeds, due to this, the noise level is significantly reduced due to long-term rolling bearings.

Manicure hood “Tornado” is another version of Russian production. According to the manufacturer himself, the device purifies the air by 90–95%. Advantages include removable carbon and dust filters, as well as the presence of a bright LED lamp in the exhaust pipe, which greatly simplifies the process and also eliminates the need for additional lighting. The power of the equipment is 200 W, the fan makes 2600 revolutions per minute.

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, for its installation, no additional steps are required. When installing the built-in hood, insertion work should be carried out, floor equipment requires freeing up space near the table, and such problems do not arise with a portable device. Changing such a device after the warranty period expires is much easier than floor-standing or built-in appliances.

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