Cons: Accessories and Tools, Stuck resistance
Reviewers generally found suction and airflow powerful, with repeated praise for hard-floor debris, pet hair and carpet pickup, though one early-look review noted it was below the stronger X9.

Reviewers repeatedly praised the X11’s suction and airflow, with lab-style and home tests calling it exceptionally powerful, though one PCMag stress test found carpet sand pickup weaker.
