Despite its small size this vacuum packs a mighty cleaning power, with a 21,000 Pa (Pascals) maximum suction capacity in Turbo mode. It also has a dual motor design that produces low-noise.

The Wyze does a fantastic job at sucking pet hair off carpeted floors and upholstery. However, it may struggle with larger debris like oatmeal and sand. Cleaning these types of items will require regular emptying of the bin and may cause battery depletion quite quickly.

On bare floors on floors that are not paved, the Wyze excels in its 'MEDIUM' mode and effortlessly collects dirt, rice, cereal, pebbles and other smaller debris. It struggles with larger debris such as cereal, but it is able to pulverize and scatter the material to make it easier to collect later.
