What owners actually say
"I love it so much!"
What the specs mean in practice
Suction is rated at 6,000 Pa, higher than 51% 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.
A 180-minute runtime is at or above the roughly 180-minute norm, enough for most single-floor homes in one pass.
Mopping uses a vibrating system — rotating and roller mops draw more owner praise on hard floors than drag pads.
