How powerful is it?

Designed to tackle coarse, stubborn pet hair besides the usual dust and debris, we were impressed by how it managed to suck up both furls and loose hair quickly and effortlessly even with just one power setting, although it is quite loud. The deep cleaning attachment works like a charm to remove embedded pet hair on soft furnishings like the sofa and table runner, although suction power diminishes slightly if a lot of hair gets caught in the roller head.

How versatile is it?

Suitable for all floor surfaces, it also switches easily from a stick vacuum to a handheld one. The short crevice tool is conveniently stored in the handle unit which saves a bit of time when you are going from room to room and is great for reaching nooks and crannies, while the dusting brush and deep cleaning tool make it easy to clean the high areas, curtains and other surfaces.

Is it easy to use?

It’s basically foolproof to operate with only one start/stop button, glides smoothly on floors and rugs, and its slender design easily slides under low furniture and around corners. Both the main unit and floor cleaner head are fitted with LED lights so you can work just as well in dimmer spots. The K9 also comes with refillable scented cartridges you pop into the filter that actually produce a pleasant scent as you clean!

Overall

The Power Floor K9 is a very versatile and user-friendly unit that’s not just excellent for cleaning up after your furry friends, but great for your whole house as well.
