When it matters less

When it matters

- Rooms with many walls and furniture edges.
When it matters less

- no (assumed)
- Suitable for pet hair
When it matters
- Dogs and cats that shed.
- Long-haired pets, whose hair wraps around a brush.
When it matters less
- Without pets, ordinary hair and dust need nothing special.

Mopping 6 facts

- High-pile rugs that no mop lift clears.

Dock 12 facts
- Empties the dust bin
When it matters

- Dust allergy, since you rarely touch the dust yourself.
When it matters less

- yes
- Bagless
When it matters

When it matters less

When it matters less
- In one open room even simple navigation covers the floor.
