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.

Bin and filtration

2 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.

Sealed filtrationiThe maker states that the whole machine is sealed, so all air passes the filter before it leaves.

Battery and run time

6 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.

25.9V3Owner's manualgscs-b2c.lge.com/open/downloadFileRead 15 October 2026The A9L-PRIME, A9L-MULTI, A9L-AQUA and A9L-RAPTOR manual lists battery model EAC633822** at Rated Voltage 25.9 V and 2400 mAh. The A9L-AIR and A9L-STORM manual names the same battery model and 2400 mAh but prints no voltage. The voltage is read from the battery model. 25.9 V over 7 cells is 3.7 V per cell.

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.

2,400mAh2Owner's manualgscs-b2c.lge.com/open/downloadFileRead 15 October 2026Battery Specifications list model EAC633822** with Rated Capacity 2400 mAh.

Yes2Owner's manualgscs-b2c.lge.com/open/downloadFileRead 15 October 2026Operation steps say to insert the fully charged battery into the cavity at the bottom of the handle until it clicks. Safety text says to remove the batteries for long storage.

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.
