Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (5 of 11). Matching specs are omitted.
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Two whitelisted testers went hands-on with this exact model (TechRadar, Reviewed/USA Today). Both praise extraordinary carpet suction and pet-hair pickup, but flag it as heavy, cumbersome to push and awkward for stairs. TechRadar measured 81dB (loud); Reviewed measured ~75% single-pass debris pickup. Powerful for pet owners, tiring to use. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Extraordinary suction, excellent deep-cleaning on carpets; Excellent pet-hair pickup with no brushroll tangling; Corners easily thanks to the ball joint.
Flagged: Heavy and awkward to lift; poor for stairs (no rear handle); Cumbersome to push; strong suction drags on high-pile carpet; Struggles to get under furniture.
