    Questions shoppers ask before buying

    How do I know whether it fits my floors?

    Start with the floor types and cleaning-head details listed for this model. For delicate rugs or specialty flooring, ask an Imperial specialist to confirm the safest setup.

    What should I compare besides suction?

    Cleaning-head design, airflow, filtration, handling, reach, capacity and serviceability usually matter more than a single advertised power number.

    Can Imperial help after the sale?

    Yes. Imperial specialists can help with setup, compatible supplies and service options. Parts and service availability vary by brand and model.
