The Dyson V11 Animal’s build quality is only okay. Aside from the metal wand, the rest of the vacuum is made almost entirely out of plastic. It looks nice and doesn’t feel cheap, but the plastic used seems rather fragile, like it could crack on impact if dropped. On the upside, it has a pretty…
The S4 has excellent automation features. There are two apps available, the Mi Home and Roborock apps, which have the same layout and features, but Mi Home is compatible with other smart devices. Through the app, you can schedule cleaning times, set boundaries, designate cleaning in a specific room, and see when different parts need…
The Hoover WindTunnel 2 has a mediocre build quality. It’s entirely made of plastic, except for the metal wand. The plastic is sturdy overall, but could possibly break if dropped. The hose and the turbo brush also feel like they could break rather easily. There’s a button near the handle to turn the power on/off…
This vacuum is reasonably easy to maintain. The dirt compartment is quite small, so it needs to be emptied frequently, but it’s not much of a hassle. The latch that opens the dirt compartment can be a bit tricky to access when the vacuum is upright in stick mode, though. The filters are very easy…
The model we tested is the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Canister. However, there are a number of different Dyson vacuums with similar names. This Cinetic Big Ball lineup blends models from two different families of different Dyson vacuums: Cinetic = One of Dyson’s cyclone technologies that eliminates the need for washable or replaceable filters. Big Ball…
The V7 has good maneuverability, very similar to the Dyson V11 Animal Vacuum. It’s light, easy to carry around, and it’s easy to switch between tools. Unfortunately, the swivel on the main motorhead gets stuck in a straight position if it’s lifted too much. On its highest power setting, Max, the strong suction pulls the…
We tested the Shark ION F80 (IF281C) with a gold wand, and there are similar variants with different included parts, which are listed below. It seems that the model number changes depending on the retailer, but we don’t know this for sure. We expect our results to be valid for the different variants. Model Number Wand…
The RoboVac has excellent battery life. On the most powerful mode, the ‘Maximum Power’ setting, it lasts over an hour, and on the least powerful mode, the ‘Standard Power’ setting, it lasts just under two hours. Just before the vacuum completely runs out of battery, it searches for the dock station, but it still can…
Good maneuverability. Since the vacuum is quite big, it’s harder to use in tight spaces, but the ball makes it easy to move around. To clean under tables and couches, you need to attach the floor tool, and for furniture, either the turbo or crevice tools are a good choice. The tools are a bit…
We tested the 55″ Sony X900H (XBR55X900H), and for the most part, we expect our review to be valid for the 65″ (XBR65X900H), the 75″ (XBR75X900H), and the 85″ (XBR85X900H). In Europe, there’s also the XH9296 and the XH9096. Both are basically the same TV as the X900H, but they come with a 2-way position stand to accommodate smaller…
