Know before you buy
Most vacuums use one motor to handle both suction and brushroll rotation. The Tandem Air system uses two dedicated motors, allowing one to focus entirely on deep-cleaning carpets while the other manages powerful suction, resulting in better debris pickup.
Yes, it is specifically designed for pet owners. It includes a specialized 'Fur Get It' tool for upholstery and a granulated charcoal layer in the filtration system to help neutralize pet odors while you clean.
No. The metal brushroll features replaceable brushstrips, so you can swap out worn bristles yourself rather than replacing the entire unit. It also includes lifetime belt protection to prevent damage if the brushroll becomes jammed.
The vacuum features a 6-position manual height adjustment dial. This allows you to raise or lower the nozzle to maintain optimal airflow and cleaning performance whether you are transitioning from thick area rugs to bare hardwood floors.
The vacuum uses a sealed HEPA media filtration system, which is designed to trap 99.97% of dust, pollen, and dander inside the machine. This prevents fine particles from being recirculated back into your home's air while you vacuum.
You get a 15-foot stretch hose for above-floor cleaning and a 40-foot power cord. Combined, these provide a significant cleaning radius, allowing you to clean large rooms or entire staircases without needing to constantly unplug the unit.
