Pet usefulness centered on sealed debris containment and cat-hair pickup, though hair tangling kept pet performance from being uniformly strong.
Pros: Tool-change simplicity, Assembly and Setup

Pet tooling impressed some reviewers, especially the powered pet attachment, but other testing found hair wrap, stalling, and weak pet-hair results on carpet.

Cons: Scratch resistance, Surface safety with attachments
Pet readiness is mixed: many owners praise hair pickup, but heavy pet-hair households report the vacuum can fall behind.
Pros: Cordless convenience, Edge and Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors)
Cons: Carpet — High-Pile Pickup, Scratch resistance
Pet-related evidence is mixed: one comparison frames the 400 as better for people without pets, while another review says the included attachments can handle pet-hair cleanup.
