The models' main caveat: Drop the premium price and extend real-world runtime so high-power mode lasts a whole home on one charge. The strongest alternative is Shark PowerDetect — Best mix of cleaning power, cordless convenience, self-emptying dock, floor/dirt detection, strong pet-hair pickup, and price for typical homes.
