Know before you buy
The system uses two rollers working in tandem: a soft roller for hard floors to capture fine dust and a PowerFin roller that digs into carpets to agitate and lift embedded debris. This dual-action design allows you to transition between hardwood, tile, and carpet without needing to switch heads.
Yes, the brushroll is specifically engineered to actively remove hair as you clean, preventing it from wrapping around the roller. It is highly effective for households with pets, significantly reducing the need to manually cut away tangled hair.
The vacuum features advanced swivel steering, which allows you to easily navigate around furniture and tight corners. While you are tethered by the cord, the lightweight design of the stick body makes it agile enough for quick cleaning sessions.
Absolutely. The unit converts into a handheld vacuum weighing under three pounds, making it ideal for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and car interiors. You can attach the cleaning tools directly to the handheld component for better reach.
The vacuum is designed for convenient storage; you can hang the handheld component on the base of the wand. This compact design allows it to stand upright or be tucked away in a closet without taking up much floor space.
The vacuum is bagless, so you simply detach the dustbin to empty it over a trash can. The foam and felt filters are washable, meaning you can rinse them with water and let them air dry completely before reinstalling them to maintain suction performance.
