History
Vacuumtester was founded in 2020 by Robbert Tigchelaar, who, along with his brother Bram Tigchelaar, had been actively involved in reviewing vacuum cleaners since 2012. Together, they initiated a website designed to serve as an information hub dedicated to vacuum cleaners. Vacuumtester's primary objective is to meticulously assess and scrutinize vacuum cleaners, subsequently sharing its findings with a global audience. In a relatively brief period, Vacuumtester has witnessed substantial growth, expanding its presence to serve customers in six different countries.[3]
Platform overview
Vacuumtester specializes in rigorous vacuum cleaner testing and provides detailed reviews on its website. The platform covers over 35 vacuum cleaner models from various renowned brands, including Dyson, Philips, iRobot, Bosch, Miele, and Black + Decker. These reviews categorize vacuum cleaner types, such as robot vacuums, handheld vacuums, canister vacuums, cordless vacuums, and stick vacuums, and evaluate how well they perform on surfaces like hardwood floors, carpets, pet hair, cat litter, and furniture. Vacuumtester facilitates easy comparisons between models, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses.
During the review process, Robbert Tigchelaar conducts comprehensive evaluations, considering accessories, suction performance on different surfaces, airflow, user friendliness, weight, noise level, cord length, and maintenance requirements. The website also offers a comprehensive "How To" section, providing detailed guidance on vacuum cleaner usage, including basic operations like filter replacement, battery changes, garbage bag disposal, and minor repairs.
An essential feature of Vacuumtester is its status as an independent review platform. It has no affiliations with specific brands or companies and does not sell vacuum cleaners. This commitment to impartiality ensures reliable and unbiased vacuum cleaner reviews.
The platform's practice of paying for each vacuum cleaner tested with its own money further upholds its integrity. This approach underscores the importance of independence in producing trustworthy research and recommendations.
