99.9 % dust pick-up***
The TriActrive+ nozzle and high suction power ensure that 99.9% of fine dust particles are picked up***.
PowerCyclone 8 technology
PowerCyclone 8 technology maximises the air flow with powerful vortex movements for maximum suction power. The extremely accelerated airflow in the cylindrical chamber effectively separates dust from the air at >185 km/h, ensuring longer suction power for flawless cleaning results.
TriActive nozzle
The TriActive nozzle performs three cleaning steps in one operation. The specially developed suction surface removes all dust particles throughout the carpet, while the large opening at the front picks up larger particles. Air ducts and brushes on both sides of the nozzle pick up dust and dirt on walls or furniture.
Integrated accessories
The integrated accessories are conveniently stored in the rear compartment so that they are always to hand when you need them.
