Vacuum cleaners can't just use "suction power"! Significance of "functions that can be used continuously" as seen in Hitachi's new cordless

On September 22, Hitachi Appliances released a new model of cordless stick cleaner "Power Boost Cyclone PV-BFH900" (actual price: 95,760 yen). It has a powerful power that can be used as a main even if it is cordless, and it can clean various places three-dimensionally. How much power is it actually and what new features are there? I have been interviewing at the recital!

In an era where double-income families and the elderly demand cordless sticks

It is well known that the demand for vacuum cleaners has shifted from the canister type to the cordless stick type in recent years. According to a survey by Hitachi Appliances, the ratio of cylinder type (canister type) and cordless sticks was 50:14 as of 2014, but it was 44:34 in 2017, three years later. Furthermore, it is expected to be almost equal at 40:40 in 2018.

The background to this is the increase in double-income households. Inevitably, the time required for housework such as cleaning will be reduced, so the need for cleaning as easily as possible will increase. In that respect, the cordless stick type can be used quickly when you want to use it, and it can be easily cleaned in the gap time, so it matches the social situation. Furthermore, this convenience is accepted by elderly people who are not confident in their physical strength, and it is said that the ownership rate of cordless stick type is increasing.

Furthermore, the performance of the cordless stick type itself has improved, which is one of the major reasons for the increased demand. Speaking of conventional machines, there was a strong image that the charging time is long but the usable time is short and the suction power is weak, but now it has the performance that can be used as the main machine, and many lightweight types are also available.

With that background in mind, let's take a look at the features of the new model that was born!
