Huh, did Raycop quit "that form"? ``The lightest model ever'' A home appliance professional reviews the surprising evolution

The first thing that comes to your mind when you hear Reycop's futon cleaner is its characteristic flat form. The design used to be synonymous with Raycop, but the new model "NewStyle RAYCOP" released in October this year has a completely different design, as the name suggests. As soon as I tried using it, it was extremely easy to use and evolved!

The design has been renewed from the flat type form

Speaking of conventional Raycop futon cleaners, as mentioned above, it has a flat type form and moves to make the futon crawl. It was characterized by using First, the brush in front of the futon brushes out and sucks fine dust from the futon, and the UV lamp behind it removes bacteria, viruses, and mites. It is still fresh in our memory that these functions were highly evaluated and the company's futon cleaner took the world by storm. On the other hand, there were also voices such as "the cord is in the way" and "I wish it was a little lighter ...", and "NewStyle RAYCOP" was developed in response to these voices.

When I saw the new design for the first time, I thought, "Is this a Raycop?" The long-awaited cordless design has been changed from the characteristic flat form to a slim stick cleaner type. And the main body is 1.4 kg and it is light anyway! Some previous models weighed over 3kg, but this one is truly the lightest in the history of Raycop. Moreover, once the head is placed on the futon, there is almost no weight on the hand, and it can be moved smoothly with light force. There is no stress that the head sticks to the futon and does not move.

Feel stress-free with free handling

It is also a big point that you can position your hands at the desired height. In the previous model, the main body and the handle were almost integrated, so it was necessary to squat down or bend down to adjust the position of the hand to the height of the futon. However, with this machine, there is a sufficient distance from the head to the handle, and the angle of the head can be moved from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, so the angle and height of the handle can be freely adjusted. You can clean your futon with a comfortable posture without any hesitation.

In addition, I realized the ease of use unique to cordless. After all, if there is a cord, it will run up on the cord, and the cord will be sluggish every time you move the main unit, which is quite an obstacle. The cord itself was ridiculously heavy and required extra force to pull it. It is really easy to clean easily without worrying about that point. It was truly stress-free.

In addition, it is convenient to make the handle stand at a right angle so that it can stand on its own without a stand. It's easy to stop cleaning, and it looks neat when stored. You can stand it up and store it near where you want to use it, so you can use it as soon as you think of it. It's so light, easy to store, and easy to take out. It seems that we can expect a lot of futon cleaning habits.

Equipped with a powerful brushless DC motor for excellent suction power!

So far, we have talked about the ease of use of the new style, but the important thing is its performance as a futon cleaner. Earlier, I mentioned that the head is easy to move without sticking to the futon, but isn't the suction power weak? There must be some people who think. No, actually, it has a strong suction power brushless DC motor, so the suction power is considerable. It is equipped with a fin punch brush that pushes out fine house dust, so fine dust and dust accumulates in the dust box, and it is pleasant to look at.

In addition, the cyclone structure makes it easy for the dust to clump together in a spiral, and it is also an advantage that the dust can be thrown away without scattering. Equipped with a HEPA filter that catches more than 99.99% (*1) of ultrafine dust of 0.3 μm, the exhaust is clean. It is also a point that the dust box is larger and easier to wash.

Reycop's original technology "UV" + "beating" + "suction" is integrated, so you can rest assured that it can reach every corner

Reycop's unique UV lamp sterilization function is still installed. By irradiating the futon with ultraviolet rays (UV-C) with a wavelength of 253.7 nm, it is said that it is possible to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria (*2) and 99.9% of viruses (*3). In addition, the UV lamp can be seen from above, making it easy to check the irradiation status and give you a sense of security that the bacteria are being thoroughly disinfected. Furthermore, 99.9% of mites can be removed (*4) by adding the tapping and suction functions.

Another important point is the position of the UV lamp. The conventional model has a powerful knocker and suction port in the front that knocks out fine house dust in the futon, and a UV lamp is placed behind it. Therefore, there was a weak point that UV could not be irradiated to the tip of the head. However, this time, we have newly developed a brush that integrates the brush and the UV lamp. Since UV irradiation can be performed along with tapping and suction, UV irradiation is possible even at the tip of the head, making it possible to sterilize the border area of ​​the headboard, which UV could not reach in the conventional model. It's nice to feel that the bacteria and viruses have been removed from every corner.

In addition, this "NewStyle RAYCOP" is equipped with a "UV only mode" that irradiates only UV rays without suction, so it is possible to disinfect and remove viruses not only in futons but also in areas of concern. When you want to use it on a vertical surface such as the back of a sofa, a curtain, or a wall, you can use the hook function to lock the head so that it can be used stably without wobbling. I'm happy in this age that it can be used to disinfect the whole house. Especially at home, my dog ​​often rides on the sofa, and I thought it would have a lot of things attached to it, but with this unit, I can easily take care of it, so I'm relieved.

Even if you already have a raycop, "NewStyle RAYCOP" is the answer!

This time, as someone who knows about conventional futon cleaners, I was surprised when I tried using "NewStyle RAYCOP". In addition to being light and cordless, it stands on its own without a stand and can be placed anywhere. If it's this easy, it's not an exaggeration, and it won't bother you even if you use it every day. From the point of view of the improved suction power and UV function, those who know the conventional model will be able to realize the merits.

The cleanliness of the futon is related to the quality of sleep. My elderly mother has always been interested in futon cleaners, and I highly recommend this one! I felt that. As a convenient item for housekeeping, it may be a good gift for moving celebrations. For those who want to keep their futons clean all the time, and those who feel that conventional futon cleaners are difficult to use, this is the one I would definitely recommend.
