The sleek G30 has its flaws however.

It has a bigger dust bin, which does not require more emptying. It also has boundary strips that keep it from certain areas. The G30 is, on the other hand is less expensive and a lot more manageable to maintain. Its smaller dust canister does not require emptying as often and it has less trouble with heavy materials like cereal.
