For cleaning furniture, stairs, car interiors, or other tight spaces, the main unit easily detaches to convert into a portable hand vacuum. Press the release button near the top of the extension wand to separate the hand vacuum unit.
Using Attachments
The included attachments enhance the vacuum's versatility:
- 2-in-1 Crevice Tool & Dusting Brush: Ideal for cleaning tight corners, edges, and delicate surfaces. The brush can be extended or retracted as needed.
- Upholstery Tool: Designed for effective cleaning of fabric surfaces like sofas, chairs, and car seats.
LED Headlights
Integrated LED headlights illuminate hidden dirt and debris on the floor.

For tougher messes or deeper cleaning, activate the Boost Mode by pressing the dedicated button on the handle. This provides increased suction power for a short duration.
Cleaning Different Surfaces

The slim and low-profile design of the floor nozzle allows you to easily maneuver the vacuum under furniture and into tight spaces, ensuring thorough cleaning throughout your home.
Maintenance
Emptying the Dirt Cup
The dirt cup features a one-touch release for easy and hygienic emptying.
For optimal performance, empty the dirt cup regularly, especially when debris reaches the MAX fill line. The dirt cup features a one-touch release mechanism for easy and hygienic disposal of collected dirt and debris.
Cleaning the Foam Filter
The vacuum uses a foam filter. To maintain suction power, it is important to clean the filter periodically.
- Remove the dirt cup from the vacuum.
- Carefully remove the foam filter from the dirt cup assembly.
- Tap the filter gently over a trash can to remove loose dirt and dust.
- If necessary, rinse the foam filter under cool running water until the water runs clear.
