Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed for multi-surface cleaning. It includes a Parquet Twister for delicate hard floors and a Turbo Comfort turbobrush specifically for low-to-medium pile carpeting.
The vacuum features a 12-stage AirClean Sealed System paired with a HEPA filter. This combination traps 99.9% of fine dust and allergens inside the unit, ensuring the air exhausted back into your home is cleaner than the air it pulled in.
The Kona features a 36-foot operating radius, which includes the cord, hose, and wand. This allows you to clean large spaces or move between rooms without needing to constantly unplug and relocate to a new outlet.
Yes, the 1,200-watt Vortex Motor offers six different suction levels. You can easily dial down the power for cleaning curtains or upholstery, or increase it for deep-cleaning high-traffic carpet areas.
The vacuum uses a large 4.76-liter dust bag. Because of its generous capacity, most households will only need to replace the bag every few months, depending on the frequency of use and the amount of debris collected.
While it is a sturdy canister vacuum, it is designed for ease of use with a lightweight, telescopic stainless steel wand. The canister design allows you to pull the unit behind you, which reduces the weight you have to carry while cleaning.
