World first at IFA: THOMAS DryBOX Amfibia all-in-one vacuum cleaner

Innovative and refreshingly different for over 100 years
A pioneering spirit and innovative strength combined with an appreciation of tradition: In keeping with this motto, the company Robert Thomas has been developing its “made in Germany” products at the Neunkirchen site in Siegerland, North Rhine-Westphalia, for over 100 years – always with a special focus on durability, quality and functionality. Today, innovative THOMAS dust and washing vacuum cleaners demonstrate the visionary strength of the company, which has established itself as a strong competitor not only on the German market but internationally, particularly in Russia and Eastern Europe. With the launch of the new THOMAS DryBOX Amfibia, the German manufacturer is once again proving its technological prowess in dust and washing vacuum cleaners.

Refreshing vacuuming with the AquaBOX
This is demonstrated quite literally by the unique AQUA+ technology from THOMAS – the innovation-driven company’s signature technology. It combines bagless vacuuming, without losing any suction power, with a special water filter system in the AquaBOX, so dirt is vacuumed up and the air is freshened simultaneously. Dust, allergens, pollen and dirt are first dampened with water during the suction process and then safely and odourlessly bound in the water tank. The dirt particles can no longer escape into the air and are disposed of with the water – for the efficient removal of even the finest of dust particles and allergens leaving the air up to 100% fresher.

DryBOX cyclone – Efficient dry vacuuming
The cyclone DryBOX in the THOMAS DryBOX Amfibia can be inserted as an efficient alternative filtration system to using water but still helps one to breathe easier. The innovative technology employs a dual-chamber system to separate fine dust and allergenic particles from coarse dirt while vacuuming. Pesky fine dust goes directly into the fine dust chamber and is not released back into the air. To empty, the flap on the front of the box is simply opened and the contents hygienically disposed of into the bin, without having to come into contact with them.

Upholstery and floor cleaning made surprisingly easy
Fight stains naturally with water – the THOMAS DryBOX Amfibia’s integrated spray/wipe/suction function is another pioneering innovation by the German cleanliness specialist and provides an efficient wet cleaning method for upholstery, carpets and hard floors. Thanks to the effective spray pressure system and the special Sprühex nozzles – available for upholstery or floors – even stubborn dirt can be removed easily and conveniently in one go: The cleaning solution is pressure sprayed into the carpet, penetrating deep into the fibres to release the dirt and is then immediately vacuumed up again. Using the parquet cleaning nozzle with a microfibre pad included, even smooth floors such as tiles, parquet and laminate can be vacuumed, washed and dried – no contact with cleaning agents, ideal for those with sensitive skin. The wet vacuum function can also be used to easily, quickly and completely remove small amounts of liquid.

THOMAS innovations live at IFA
THOMAS invites interested journalists and trade professionals to visit the THOMAS trade fair stand at this year’s IFA (Hall 4.1, Stand 210) and see the innovations “made in Germany” for themselves. Manfred Donath, Marketing Manager, and Harald Vitocco, Sales Manager, or one of our other marketing and sales colleagues, look forward to telling guests all about the latest product highlights and technologies over a refreshing drink at the THOMAS AQUA Bar.
