Know before you buy
The brushroll is specifically designed with a comb-like feature that actively removes hair as you vacuum. This prevents long hair and pet fur from wrapping around the roller, so you don't have to manually cut it away.
Yes, the vacuum is designed for all floor types. You can use the suction control slider to reduce suction for delicate rugs or increase it for deep cleaning carpets, and the brushroll can be turned off for bare floors to prevent scattering debris.
Lift-Away allows you to detach the main vacuum pod from the floor nozzle. This makes the unit much lighter and more portable, allowing you to easily clean stairs, upholstery, and high-up areas like curtains or ceiling corners.
Yes, it features Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology combined with a HEPA filter. This system traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, preventing them from being released back into the air while you clean.
The filters are washable, which helps maintain suction power over time. Simply rinse them with water and let them air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling them back into the vacuum.
The vacuum is equipped with swivel steering, which allows you to pivot the head easily with a flick of your wrist. This makes it much simpler to navigate around table legs, chairs, and other obstacles in your home.
