What owners actually say

What the specs mean in practice

Suction is rated at 18,000 Pa, higher than 89% of tracked models. Pa is a manufacturer figure, not measured airflow — owners judge cleaning by pet hair and carpet results, so treat it as a floor rather than a verdict.

Runtime is not published.

The dock is listed as "omni station", which washes the mop for you and dries it to limit odours.

Mopping uses a roller system — rotating and roller mops draw more owner praise on hard floors than drag pads.
