Know before you buy
The R30 uses two motors working in tandem: one dedicated to agitating and lifting debris from your carpet, and a second motor that provides powerful suction for the hose and tools. This dual-motor design ensures you don't lose cleaning performance when switching between floor cleaning and using attachments.
Yes, the self-cleaning Fur Get It tool is designed to remove embedded pet hair from various upholstered surfaces, including chairs, car interiors, and carpeted stairs. Its self-cleaning mechanism helps prevent hair from tangling around the tool's internal components.
Yes, it features a granulated charcoal filter specifically designed to absorb and neutralize pet odors before the air is exhausted back into your home. This works in conjunction with the HEPA media bag to ensure both smells and allergens are trapped.
Absolutely. The R30 features a six-position carpet height adjustment, allowing you to raise or lower the nozzle to maintain proper airflow and brush contact regardless of your carpet's thickness.
The brushroll is designed with replaceable brushstrips. This allows you to maintain the vacuum's cleaning efficiency over time without needing to replace the entire metal brushroll assembly.
The vacuum uses a self-sealing HEPA media bag that automatically closes when removed from the unit. This prevents dust, pet dander, and debris from escaping back into the air during the disposal process.
