Large-debris intake is mixed: it can pick up hay, litter, food, and crumbs, but larger cereal-like pieces can be harder.
Pros: Wool carpet compatibility, Area Rug Handling
Cons: Edge and Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors), Airflow blowback
Large hard-floor debris pickup was generally strong in Vacuum Wars and user tests, but TechGearLab found overall hardwood pickup below average.
Pros: Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup, Filtration / Dust Containment
Cons: Hair-removal channel issues, Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors)
Hard-floor large-debris intake is inconsistent, ranging from strong rice pickup in one test to poor results on big piles and hardwood.
Pros: Storage footprint and upright-stand stability, Weight
Cons: Noise level, Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors)
