Know before you buy
The S8380 includes the Electro Plus electrobrush, which features adjustable height settings specifically designed to agitate and lift embedded pet hair from medium to deep-pile carpets.
It features an Active Air Clean filter with an integrated charcoal layer. This filter is designed to neutralize and trap pet odors as air passes through the system, rather than simply masking them with fragrance.
Yes, the included Parquet Twister floorhead is specifically engineered for smooth surfaces. It features soft bristles and a flexible swivel neck that allows you to clean hardwood and tile floors gently and thoroughly.
The vacuum uses a large 4.76-quart dustbag. Depending on the frequency of use and the amount of pet hair collected, most households find they only need to replace the bag every few months.
At approximately 18 pounds, it is a mid-weight canister vacuum. While it is not the lightest model on the market, its design includes smooth-running wheels and a telescopic wand that make it easy to maneuver across different floor types.
The Mini Turbo Brush is a smaller, air-driven tool designed for upholstery. It is ideal for removing stubborn pet hair from sofas, chairs, and pet bedding where a full-sized floorhead would be too bulky.
