Interesting how he noticed it doesn't perform as well as the Gen5 but didn't accurately explain why. You do have to be careful interpreting a test like that. Crevices should be deeper than typically found in a home, but they werent' quantified. People that do these tests also don't really explain what real-world value they have or what they're really showing about the machine.

Quantifying them doesn't matter a whole lot for comparative testing. The test slots and debris won't match the vast majority of actual use cases, but if one vacuum removes the test debris from larger slots than another, then you can expect that the former will perform better at removing real world debris from real world crevices and cavities.

I understand the test. It's just poorly defined and interpreted by many YT bedroom testers.

How do we test like how you understand though? I know the deep cleaning methods, but I don't know much about crevice cleaning.

So why are people calling the angled front a big issue? Just run parallel and rely on edge cleaning.

Geez, most reviewers aren't that smart.

See my thread. It's asking for the fix needed.

Modding the vacuum would just ruin the warranty though. I'm not going to spend money on an expensive product if I have to "hack" or "mod" it. I like jerry rigging stuff but a product should work out of the box. Maybe your mod does make it better than the Gen5

So your response is 'nuh uh'?

There needs to be a change of leadership so the more senior engineers that understand things get more power and say over what to release. I still can't believe the decision making on display, as I'll go through in the review.

There are several areas in my house where you can't run along a wall. I imagine I'm not alone in this.

In that case, that's because said areas are too narrow. Use the crevice or combi.

Some are narrow, but most are just areas under things like desks or beds.

You are right though, I suppose you could crawl around with a crevice tool in those areas. But personally I'd rather just use a vacuum with a straight cleaning head.
