At the top of the vacuum cleaner we will see three purple lights, which indicate the battery level.

A little further down, there is the button from which we select the power level.

When extra power is necessary, for example on thick carpets, The brushless digital motor allows the P8 Max to reach 20.000 Pascals, a more than considerable suction power.
