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.

The Canada and UK pages list 3.72 and 3.71 kg and Shark's US catalog sheet for IP3252 lists a product-only weight of 8.22 lb. These figures are 0.1 kg higher and no document says why. The 7.96 lb figure is stored, with the stick and floor nozzle as the configuration.
