Several reviewers describe a float/shutoff behavior that stops airflow/flow when the dirty tank is full, which helps prevent overfilling and makes the machine more forgiving during long sessions.
Pros: Floor Drying Time, Suitability for heavy-duty use
Cons: Weight, Suitability for small spaces
Dirty-water sensors were a recurring frustration when foam or water triggered shutoff before the tank seemed truly full.
Pros: Cord length, Cordless convenience
Cons: Under-Furniture Pickup, Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors)
