3.2. Cleaning Different Surfaces

• The lightweight design (9 pounds) makes it easy to maneuver around furniture and transport between areas.
• The low-profile design allows the vacuum to reach under furniture and other hard-to-access areas.
• Wall bumpers protect your furniture and baseboards from accidental bumps.
