Frequently Asked Questions
Can it handle heavy pet hair shedding from multiple dogs?+
Yes, it removes embedded pet hair that other vacuums miss. An owner of two large dogs found a full canister of hair and dust after running a cordless vac first.
How heavy is the vacuum, and is it hard to push on carpet?+
It weighs 17.3 lbs, which is heavier than many cordless models, and strong suction adds resistance on thick carpet. The ball design helps with steering, but carrying it upstairs takes effort.
Is this vacuum loud?+
It is not quiet but has a more refined sound than older Dyson models. The turbine tool attachment is noticeably louder when running.
How long is the power cord?+
The cord is 32.8 feet long, which is enough to clean an entire floor without unplugging. One reviewer with mixed flooring no longer needs to switch outlets during cleaning.
Does the tangle-free brush really prevent hair wrap?+
Yes, the Motorbar cleaner head's detangling comb works effectively. One owner used it for a month without needing to clean hair off the brush roll.
