KENT Vortex Plus Review: Wet & Dry Pick

KENT built its reputation on purifying water and air for Indian homes, and that filtration expertise shows in the Vortex Plus. The Cyclone5 system maintains suction as the tank fills - a common complaint with cheaper vacuums is that suction drops significantly after 10 minutes of use as the filter clogs. The washable filters are designed for Indian dust conditions where you might need to clean the filter after every other use in particularly dusty environments. At 4.5kg, this is the vacuum elderly parents can actually carry between floors in a multi-story Indian home. In duplex apartments and independent houses without elevators, this weight advantage is practical rather than trivial. The rubberized wheels protect marble and vitrified tile floors from scratching - a thoughtful detail for Indian homes where floor damage means expensive re-polishing. The 12L capacity is the compromise for the lightweight design. For a 1-2 BHK apartment, it is sufficient. For a 3 BHK or larger, you will empty the tank mid-session. At Rs 9,000-11,000, you are paying a premium for the filtration and portability. If allergies are a genuine health concern in your family, this premium is justified.
