How We Tested

We evaluated fine and larger debris on hard floors, surface debris and embedded sand on carpet, hair pickup, and post-cleaning roller condition. We also recorded pushing effort, power-control access, accessory limitations, and debris release during emptying. Runtime checks distinguished Medium from Max, with the powered floorhead attached. Charging time was recorded from depleted to full. The long-hair observations included strands around 14 inches, with inspection for material remaining around the roller. Our results describe the tested unit and recorded conditions. We have not converted a qualitative cleaning result into a recovery-by-weight percentage, or a visual containment observation into a numerical filtration rating. Different embedded-sand setups across our cordless evaluations also prevent a single comparable recovery table for every model.

Max lasted only 8.4 minutes with the powered floorhead. Higher power increased carpet pushing and pulling effort. Long hair wrapped around the brushroll. The head could push cereal and kibble ahead. Limited tested accessories restricted upholstery and stair cleaning.

How to read our ratings

Scores use a 10-point scale. The color, number, and label express the same rating band; the evidence and trade-offs still matter.

9–10Excellent7–8.9Good5–6.9Adequate3–4.9Poor1–2.9Very poor

Missing evidence is shown as “Not scored.” We do not turn unavailable results into a zero or estimate a score from a specification sheet.

Use the findings in context

The method, result tables, and review should agree. If a procedure or product variant changes, explain the effect before comparing results.
