How it works and what it is for
The motor generates a cyclone airflow that separates dust from the air and collects it in the removable container. Eco mode provides longer running time for hard floors, delicate carpets and light dirt, while Boost mode increases suction power for heavier soiling. Removing the suction pipe converts the appliance into a handheld vacuum cleaner.
