AW and performance
I would expect this is mentioned elsewhere, but AW doesn't directly relate to cleaning performance- it is a measure of pure suction, which is only of relevance for what you feel when you put your hand over the hose.
Flowrate with the tools on the floor is key for pickup (and is rarely quoted!).
There was a recent legal case that Gtech won against dyson where the ruling mentions that dyson's adverts imply AW and pickup are directly linked, and that it's misleading.

It has always been misleading. Air watts is a Dyson marketing word - it stands above the call of actual performance because it reinforces the old promise of 100% suction all the time and it was continually used as a measure alongside the claims that Dyson made.
There's a lot of truth in this video even if it is a push for central vac system.
