Professional Reviews

Professional reviewers highlight the vacuum’s solid construction, balanced feel, and premium‑grade features such as AUTOSENSE, LED floor lights and an anti‑tangle brush, noting that it delivers strong suction and good performance on both carpet and hard floors, though runtime drops on carpet and the unit feels heavy for prolonged handheld use.

Everyday users generally praise the strong suction, LED illumination, and the convenience of the handheld conversion, especially for pet hair and quick spot cleaning, while recurring concerns focus on the weight, shorter carpet runtime and the single‑speed limitation.
