How does the auto-empty hub work?

The vacuum docks into a floor-standing hub that pulls debris out of the stick's bin after each use. You empty or replace the hub's collection container far less often than a handheld bin.

Is it good on carpet?

It is built mainly for hard floors and low-pile carpet. Deep-pile carpet and pet hair embedded in rugs are better handled by a corded upright or a vacuum with a powered floor head.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on the power mode you use; the highest suction drains the battery fastest. Expect shorter runs on max power and longer runs on the low setting.

Does the hub need to be plugged in?

Yes. The hub charges the vacuum and runs the auto-empty cycle, so it needs a power outlet where you park it.

The stick vacuum, the auto-empty hub, a charger and the standard floor cleaning head. Extra tools and replacement bags are usually sold separately.

How does it compare with a Dyson stick?

The H60 Hub Ultra's draw is hands-free emptying; Dyson sticks generally offer stronger brand support and a wider tool range but you empty the bin yourself.
