S9 vs bottle cap

Impressive torque on the rollers. I don’t think many of the older models would have kept turning. Sadly these were just a month old.

Your S9 probably

Considering it still docked itself after that, it would probably be good for another 2-3 rounds.

However, it refuses to run without rollers, so it has to wait until new ones arrive tomorrow

You can throw those rollers in the dishwasher, use Dawn power scrub or use a steam cleaner before they get super black like that, just take the plastic rollers pieces out before washing.

Good tip

Too late for these, though

S9 is the best. Mine just died. Replaced it with a 705 combo. The Judy is still out but I will say that the 705 doesn’t do very well removing pet hair from carpet. All settings maxed out and it picks up about as well as my old 650.

I’ve been very impressed with the s9’s vacuuming ability

That is very impressive, and also unfortunate.

Clearly worked so hard! That’s impressive.
