• Filtration - The filter and pre-filter are washable and can be used over and over.

• Suction - The suction is 3600Pa, with a maximum airflow of 1.3 cubic metres per minute.
• Dust Tank - The large dust tank has a capacity of 650ml. Such a large tank means that more time can be spent cleaning and less time emptying.
