With a full charge, the cleaner head was kept in close contact with the floor under load (high power mode) and ran for 7 minutes and 00 seconds. (According to the manufacturer's website, the high power mode with the cleaner head/tool runs for about 5 minutes when new.) The running time is about 1 minute shorter with the direct drive head. The roller on the head rotates without any problems when the vacuum cleaner is running. Please note that the cleaning was only done briefly. Everything in the photos is included.
