Large hard-floor debris performance was mixed: dry vacuum heads often performed very well, but the mop head struggled with cereal, rice, and large pieces.

#11

Hard-floor large debris intake is mostly strong, especially for cereal and extra-large debris, but not flawless in every test.

Hard-floor large debris intake was mixed, with strong extra-large debris pickup in one review and rice scattering in another.

#17

Large debris pickup on hard floors was generally good for oats, cereal, and rice, though not perfect in every test.

#18

Hard-floor large-debris intake was mixed: some reviewers saw good crumb or cereal pickup, while others saw rice spread or kibble struggles.

#19

Large-debris intake was mixed: some labs saw excellent pickup of fine-to-large debris, while others found the floorhead pushed or scattered larger pieces.

Large-debris intake was mixed: some tests praised smooth pickup, while others found scattering, stuck cereal, or leftover debris.

#21

Large hard-floor debris handling was mixed because the side brush sometimes scattered oats or debris before later pickup.

#22

Large-debris intake was mixed: professional testing praised large-debris pickup, while one hands-on test failed on screws and bolts.

Large debris intake was one of the weakest areas, with cereal, Cheerios, and food pieces clogging, scattering, or getting pushed around.

#27

Large hard-floor debris was a major weakness, with repeated reports of Cheerios, Froot Loops, rice, and larger chunks clogging, snowplowing, or scattering.

#28

Large debris intake was weak, especially on hard floors where rice was thrown around and bare-floor debris pickup was only passable.
