## What reviewers say

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. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2024-07-28–2024-08-20.)

Praised: Extraordinary suction, excellent deep-cleaning on carpets; Excellent pet-hair pickup with no brushroll tangling; Corners easily thanks to the ball joint; Massive bin means infrequent emptying.
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; Mediocre on hard floors, needing multiple passes; Loud in use; Corded — trip hazard and tedious manual cord winding.
Disagreement: Hard-floor performance splits them: TechRadar left flour streaks and needed several passes on engineered oak, while Reviewed reported near-lossless edge-to-edge suction and smooth automatic carpet-to-hardwood transitions. Both agree it excels on carpet.
