The event tomorrow in Berlin from the teaser videos includes the V16 along with the new Robot that mops new Wash G model, the Pencil Vsc has appeared in some plus what might be a new fan or hair care product!
It’s a global launch of multiple products.

It's not really clear what that label is referring to specifically. One thing is clear from measurement, the motor's power drain on the battery is MUCH lower in all power modes than the Gen5—by a factor of 2 for boost mode! The performance data clearly shows the consequences and it's not an upgrade in its current state. It really looks like a software mistake. It shouldn't have happened.

So i am pretty much covinced now (labels + your collected power data) that the "900w" is just a marketing stunt and is the label of the used motor version.

Do you have access to IEC 62885-4:2023 for the AW rating? The gen5 was tested against the older 2020 version if i am not mistaken, curios if something major has changed here.

It may be true, but is hard to believe. The Gen5 absolutely did draw ~900+ W, so their motors definitely are capable of that. Why would they positively retrograde their core function for so little gain in noise and weight? It doesn't add up. I'll see if there are any equivalent labels on the Gen5 to compare against.

I can get access to that standard and will take a look later when I get time. I'm pretty sure if you start trying to engage with their customer support to probe this, you'll just end up with robotic guard dog behaviour that concludes you need a new part or something unrelated.

gen5 and v15.

If you take the 315AW unquestioned the 900w might just be a marketing "comparison indicator" how much power would be needed with the older v15 to achieve 315 AW. It is pretty close if you take the 230 AW Hepa version of the v15. 230 / 660 * 900 = 313,14.
It is also the same for the "first" AW rating of the gen5 of 262 AW (later changed to 280) : 262 / 752 * 900 = 313,56.
