Engineered around the air, from floor to exhaust.
The F1 Glide is built on four systems: a 135,000 rpm digital motor, a cyclone array, a sealed HEPA path and a floor head that reads the surface. This is how each one works.

A digital motor, the size of a can of soda.
The F1 Glide runs a brushless motor. With no brushes there is nothing to wear down or spark, and the controller reads the load thousands of times a second, so suction holds steady from a full charge to the last minute.

Dust is spun out of the air before it reaches the filter.
Air enters the cones on a tangent and spirals down at speed. Anything heavier than air is flung against the wall and drops into the bin, so the filter only sees the finest particles and suction does not fade as the bin fills.

Sealed from the floor head to the exhaust.
A HEPA filter is only as good as the body around it. Nine gaskets close every joint the air passes, so nothing slips around the cartridge, and what leaves the machine is cleaner than the air in the room.

One head for boards, tiles and rugs.
A soft roller lifts fine dust off hard floors without scattering it, and a stiff bristle row behind it digs into pile. Both run off the same drive, so the head does not stall when it crosses from the kitchen tiles onto a rug.

Suction
Air watts at the cleaner head, at full power on a fresh charge, to IEC 62885-4. Robots are rated in pascals at the inlet.
Filtration
The whole machine is tested, not the filter alone: particles counted in and out at 0.3 µm, the size hardest to catch.
Run time
From full charge to stop, in the lowest power mode with a non-motorised tool. Expect less on boost.
Weight
The machine as you lift it to clean: body, wand and floor head, battery fitted, bin empty.
