How long does the battery really last?

Up to 105 minutes is on the lowest power setting. Expect far less on max suction, where the motor draws much more. Most cleaning happens in the middle modes, so plan on well under the full figure for everyday use.

Is 270AW enough for carpet?

270AW is high for a cordless stick and handles low-pile carpet and rugs well. Deep-pile carpet and pet hair embedded in it still favor an upright or a vacuum with a powered brush head.

What does six-stage HEPA filtration mean?

The air passes through six filter stages before it leaves the vacuum, with a HEPA stage capturing fine dust and allergens. That makes it a reasonable pick for allergy sufferers, provided the filters are washed and dried on schedule.

How often do I empty the bin?

The 0.8-liter bin is larger than most stick vacuums, so it holds more before you empty it. On a full-home clean with pet hair you will still empty it a few times.

Is it good on hard floors?

Yes. Stick vacuums are at their best on hard floors and low-pile rugs, and the long runtime lets you cover a whole floor in one pass.

Shoppers who want the lightest possible stick for stairs and quick touch-ups, or who need maximum deep-carpet pickup, should look at lighter or more powerful rivals.
