Reviewers commend the CY23 for its powerful 250 AW suction and efficient 2-Tier Radial Root Cyclone system, which together provide deep cleaning without loss of suction.

The only notable drawbacks mentioned by experts are its weight and the fact that it remains corded, limiting flexibility.
Everyday users consistently highlight the vacuum's strong suction, effective allergen capture, and the convenience of the hygienic bin and washable filter. Many appreciate the maneuverability offered by the ball and 360° handle.
