Rated poweriElectrical power of the vacuum as the maker publishes it, called motor power, rated power or wattage. It is not suction power in air watts. It is the maximum input power of the motor unit. A nozzle's own power is not added. The power of the charger or the dock does not count. When the maker states a rated figure and a higher maximum, such as LG's 350 W rated and 650 W in Turbo mode, the maximum is stored and the rated figure goes in the source note.

Bin and filtration

1 of 6 differ

Dustbin capacityiCapacity of the bin on the vacuum. Makers state the gross volume or the volume up to the max line. When both are given, the max-line volume is stored and the gross volume goes in the source note. A compaction claim, such as "holds three times more", is not stored. A dock bag that the maker calls the dust bin goes in the dock dust capacity.

0.4L4Retailer pagesylvane.com/products/bissell-powerclean-dual-brush-stick-vacuumRead 14 October 2026Spec table lists Collection Capacity 0.4 qt and bagless.

Battery and run time

5 of 8 differ

Battery voltageiNominal pack voltage, such as 25.2 V. A full-charge voltage, such as 29.4 V for seven cells, is not nominal.

25.2V4Retailer pagesylvane.com/products/bissell-powerclean-dual-brush-stick-vacuumRead 14 October 2026Spec table lists Voltage (V) 25.2 and Maximum Amperage 2.5 A. Page text says the 25.2V rechargeable battery. The manual's battery pack numbers 1644206 and 1643447 belong to the same 25.2 V PowerClean family. No capacity is stated.

21.6V2Maker product pagesharkninja.com/-auto-empty-system-battery-pack-w-charger-cord/XBTR625KSLNB.htmlRead 15 October 2026Maker battery page for XBTR625KSLN, the Auto-Empty System battery pack the BU3626 page sells as its add-on. Compatibility note says a rating voltage of 21.6V or pack model XBTR625KSLN fits. The pack capacity is not stated, so it is not stored.

Battery capacityiPublished pack capacity at the nominal battery voltage. A cell count times a cell capacity, such as "8 x 3,200mAh", is not a pack capacity. The cell capacity is the pack capacity only when all cells are in series. That holds when the pack voltage divided by the cell count is one lithium-ion cell voltage, 3.6 or 3.7 V, such as 8 x 2,200mAh at 29.6 V. The source note shows the check. When the maker gives a rated and a nominal capacity, the one that matches its stated Wh at the pack voltage is stored.

Batteries includediNumber of batteries in the box.

14Retailer pagesylvane.com/products/bissell-powerclean-dual-brush-stick-vacuumRead 14 October 2026Box list names one Battery.

16Maker product pagesharkclean.com.au/products/shark-powerlite-clean-emptyRead 15 October 2026Box list names one battery. The US page sells a battery pack as a spare add-on.

Run time (claimed)iOne row per maker run time claim on one battery. Power level puts the maker's mode on a common scale. Lowest is the weakest setting, such as Eco or Min. Highest is the strongest, such as Boost, Max or Jet. Middle covers every setting between them. Claims that add a second battery are not stored. A handheld configuration without a motorized head counts as non-motorized tool. On hard floor with the main head counts as motorized floor head. Leave the tool out when the maker says neither or its own pages disagree, and name them in the source note. A machine with one power setting uses highest. When the maker gives a range, such as 20 to 25 min, the top of the range is stored and the range goes in the source note. A boost button or trigger counts as a setting, so a machine with one setting and a boost has a lowest and a highest row. A wet cleaning mode, such as Dyson Wet or Samsung WET, is not a power level, so it is not stored.

A panel that shows numbers or text is a screen, even when the maker calls it an LED display. A panel of fixed icons or bars is LED indicators, even when the maker calls it a smart display.
