Runtime is effectively unlimited for corded use, and one buyer praises not needing to charge it.
Pros: Assembly and Setup, Battery and Charging
Cons: Headlight and LED lights, Debris illumination
Runtime is functionally unlimited because it is corded, which one review framed as a benefit despite mobility tradeoffs.
Pros: Wool carpet compatibility, Area Rug Handling
Cons: Edge and Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors), Airflow blowback
Runtime was generally strong at about 40 minutes, but maximum performance mode could reduce usable time significantly.
Pros: Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors), Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake
Cons: Sanitizing performance, Clogging and debris prevention
