  The self-emptying Clean & Empty base automatically pulls debris from the onboard dust bin into a larger chamber that can hold weeks of dirt, reducing mess and manual emptying frequency, though sticky debris and the bagless dump can still create occasional cleanup and the system is trickier to clean than a simple bin.

  A flexible wand and compact floorhead make it easy to reach under and around furniture, and many testers find the steering smooth and responsive, though some still notice the top loaded chassis feeling heavier over longer sessions than lighter Dyson style sticks.
• Accessories & Tools ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.8
  Onboard tool storage keeps a basic combo attachment always connected to the vacuum for quick above-floor jobs, and the broader accessory set, including a pet multi tool and crevice brush, provides practical options for upholstery and tight spaces even if it is not the most extensive toolkit on the market.
• Runtime (Measured, Default) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 3.6
