Know before you buy
The Tandem Air System uses two motors working in unison: one to agitate and lift deep-down dirt from carpets, and a second to provide powerful suction for debris removal. This dual-motor approach ensures a deeper clean on both carpets and bare floors compared to single-motor vacuums.
No, the Brilliance Deluxe features a lifetime belt protected by a Hall sensor. If the brush roll becomes jammed, the sensor automatically shuts off the motor to prevent belt damage, meaning you won't need to worry about routine belt maintenance.
Yes, it is highly effective for those concerns. It uses a 6-stage filtration system with HEPA media to trap 99.97% of particles, while the integrated charcoal filters help neutralize pet odors before the air is exhausted back into your home.
The vacuum weighs 22 pounds. While its robust metal construction provides excellent durability, it is a substantial machine, so you may find it requires more effort to carry between floors than lightweight plastic models.
Yes, the telescopic aluminum wand is designed for above-floor cleaning. Combined with the on-board tools, it provides the necessary reach to clean upholstery, baseboards, and high-up areas like ceiling fans or crown molding.
The vacuum uses a self-sealing HEPA bag, which is designed to lock dust and allergens inside the bag during removal. This prevents the 'dust cloud' effect often associated with emptying bagless vacuums.
