STRENGTHS

CONCERNS
- Real-world powered-head runtime is ~25–30 min, not 60

- €749 buys diminishing returns over €450 rivals
SUITABILITY
BEST FOR
Allergy households with mixed floors who clean in short daily sessions.
SKIP IF
You deep-clean large carpeted areas in single sessions — runtime will frustrate you.
11 / DETECTIVE'S TAKE
“Excellent engineering carrying a brand premium. If allergies are the driver, the sealed HEPA system justifies serious consideration. If they're not, the mid-price alternatives clean 90% as well for 60% of the money.”
