ECONOMIC USAGE
• Your product is very economical to charge. While it is charging it uses less than half
the amount of electricity used by a common night light.
• When fully charged, the average effective usage times are between 10-12 minutes
with brush on (carpet), 12-14 minutes with brush on (hard floor) and 14-16 minutes
with vac only.
• It may take several chargings before these times can be achieved.
