Know before you buy
Tandem Air technology uses two motors working in unison: one motor focuses on agitating dirt from deep within carpet fibers, while the second motor provides powerful suction to pull that debris into the bag. This dual-motor approach ensures consistent airflow even when the bag begins to fill.
Yes, the vacuum is designed for versatile surface cleaning. It performs effectively on hardwood, tile, and laminate, while the metal brushroll provides the durability needed to deep-clean high-pile carpets.
The vacuum features a sealed HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Because the bags are self-sealing, you can dispose of collected dander and allergens without them escaping back into the air.
The dirt sensor uses light technology to detect debris that may be invisible to the naked eye. It alerts you when it senses dirt, ensuring you don't move on to the next area until the surface is truly clean.
No, the R40P includes lifetime belt protection. This feature is designed to prevent the belt from snapping if the brushroll becomes obstructed, saving you from frequent maintenance or repairs.
The integrated charcoal filter acts as a deodorizer, absorbing and neutralizing pet smells as air passes through the vacuum. This prevents the 'stale vacuum' odor that often develops in households with pets.
