How does the AllFloor nozzle work on different surfaces?

The AllFloor nozzle features automatic surface detection technology that adjusts cleaning performance between carpets and hard floors. You can manually switch modes using the foot control without bending down. For carpets it increases agitation whilst on hard floors it provides gentle yet effective cleaning. The nozzle maintains optimal suction across all surface types.

What size particles does the HEPA filtration system capture?

The high filtration system captures 99.99% of particles as small as 1 micron including fine dust dust mites and allergens. This performance is based on internal testing using standard sand-dust particles sized 0.3-10 microns according to IEC62885-2:2021 standards. The system delivers cleaner output air making it suitable for households with allergy sufferers.

How often do I need to empty the dust bin?

The 3L dust capacity provides adequate storage for regular cleaning sessions. Empty frequency depends on your home size and dirt levels but typically ranges from weekly to bi-weekly for average households. The transparent bin lets you monitor fill levels whilst the one-hand emptying mechanism makes the process quick and hygienic.

Can this vacuum handle pet hair effectively?

Yes the vacuum includes a dedicated textile turbo nozzle with roller brush specifically designed for pet hair removal from carpets and upholstery. The main AllFloor nozzle also captures pet hair effectively from various surfaces. The cyclone separator prevents hair from clogging the system whilst maintaining consistent suction power.

What is the noise level during operation?

The vacuum operates at 78dB which is considered relatively quiet for a cylinder vacuum. This noise level allows for comfortable use without excessive disturbance to household members or neighbours. The sound is consistent throughout operation without sudden increases or mechanical rattling noises.

How do I maintain the filters?

The vacuum features washable filters that require periodic cleaning to maintain performance. Remove filters according to the manual rinse with cold water and allow to dry completely before reinstalling. This typically needs doing every 3-6 months depending on usage frequency. The washable design eliminates ongoing filter replacement costs.

What accessories are included with the vacuum?

The vacuum includes multiple cleaning attachments stored onboard for easy access. These include the textile turbo nozzle for pet hair removal plus additional tools for furniture and crevice cleaning. All accessories attach to the main wand or hose connection. The onboard storage system keeps tools organised and prevents loss.

Is the vacuum suitable for stairs?

Yes the compact design and 8.18kg weight make it manageable for stair cleaning. The 8.5m cord provides sufficient reach for most staircases whilst the included accessories handle different stair surfaces effectively. The ergonomic handle placement assists with carrying between levels though the weight may require breaks for some users.
