#1

Hard-floor large debris intake was praised for taking in larger debris in one go.

#2

Hard-floor large debris pickup was usually good, especially for crumbs, rice, and oats, although edge scattering and target-zone issues appeared in some reviews.

#3

Hard-floor large debris intake was strong for Cheerios, litter, and similar debris in several tests.

#4

Large crumbs, rice, litter, and other debris are generally swallowed quickly on hard floors. Some rice scattered in one test, but overall intake remained strong.

#5

Large hard-floor debris handling was generally good, though some tests noted scattering or leftovers before later passes.

#6

Hard-floor large-debris pickup was strong in lab and home testing, especially Cheerios and dry oatmeal.

#7

The S2 handles mixed debris well, but grouped cereal and other bulky pieces can expose inconsistent approach behavior. Most remaining debris is recovered with additional coverage.

#8

Large debris handling was good overall, especially for crumbs and cereal, though one comparison test still found a few corn flakes left behind.

#9

Everyday crumbs and mixed debris are collected very well, but oversized hard objects can jam or rattle inside the conical head.

#11

Large-debris evidence was mixed: one reviewer said loose particles were collected quickly, while another expected bigger messes to be a struggle.

#12

Hard-floor large-debris intake is limited by PCMag finding clumps of rice and sand left around obstacles and rug transitions.

Large hard-floor debris is a weak spot when pieces approach cereal size. Cheerios were pushed, crushed, or trapped around the wheels instead of being cleanly collected.
