How to read this comparison

The fastest way to narrow down the range is to start with the two or three specs that matter most for your home. If you clean a larger house, prioritise suction (air watts) and run time. If you live in an apartment or carry your vacuum up stairs, weight matters more.

Two of the most common questions are the V15 Detect versus the Gen5detect — where the main difference is the Gen5detect's fully sealed HEPA filtration — and the lightweight V8 Cyclone for smaller spaces. Where a specification has not been confirmed, it is marked as needing verification rather than estimated.
