Know before you buy
Yes, the 25.2-volt lithium-ion battery is removable. This allows you to charge the battery independently of the vacuum unit, which is convenient if you prefer to store the vacuum in a closet without a nearby outlet.
The PowerClean 4173 is well-suited for these areas because it converts into a handheld vacuum. Combined with the included upholstery and crevice tools, it is easy to maneuver over stair treads and into tight corners on sofas or chairs.
This model is designed for general home maintenance and works best on hard floors and low-pile rugs. Since the brush roll does not have an on/off switch, it may be difficult to push on very thick or high-pile carpets.
At 7 pounds, the vacuum is relatively lightweight and easy to carry between rooms or up and down stairs. Its cordless design further improves maneuverability, as you won't be tethered by a power cord while cleaning.
Because the brush roll is fixed, you should regularly check it for hair or debris tangles. Keeping the brush clear of obstructions will ensure the vacuum maintains consistent suction and performance over time.
