After I briefly looked into the very clear and pleasing short-held manual and familiarized myself with the most important points kept me nothing and I put off ...
Extremely positive was the pleasant total weight, which is so easily maintained, that has not bitched for the first time in years, my back, which also but is sufficiently heavy to ensure a good ground contact even if one draws the curve times for me. Very well balanced !!!
And suck the curve is already the next keyword: This is in fact really good! The suction cup is so agile that a slight turn of the wrist (not the arm that is not necessary!) Is enough and leaves the foot in the desired direction ... very pleasant and extremely back-friendly! For other devices, one has to pull either the base unit ever behind him, which of course always happy caught on furniture corners, or, if you already have a device without a base unit, the cable tangled or remains under room doors hanging, or, or, or. So you are constantly pushing to turn, bend, pulling the unit, the cable is unknotted and ranked the floor unit and has his eyes always front and rear have the same time and play turncoat pictures ... all very unfortunately at the expense of back ...! All this eliminates the Philips PowerPro Uno, you have to slightly push only on the ergonomically shaped handle, twist and pull, and the device does it all in no time in the quasi literally ...! I was so thrilled that I sucked quasi accidentally our whole house in one go. And I was neither annoyed nor sweaty, yet I had back pain! I no longer had for years in the form! And the battery has persevered all the time well; the state I could at any time easily seen from the colorful LEDs.
In the coming weeks I tested the Philips PowerPro Uno almost daily because it so beautifully easily goes with the sucking. And I found that he was coping very well with our bedroom carpet with 1 cm pile height. Here I had my doubts at first, because I always thought, There must come a Akkusauger come to its limits. But the word "Power" in the name is actually program and the brush I turned tirelessly and took even the smallest crumbs from the carpet fibers. The Turbo-suction function I had in the whole week not even apply, he has sucked away everything in Normal mode.
At the end of the testing phase I have now but with a heavy heart decided the Philips PowerPro Uno to return. Why? Well, our dog is guilty ... No, of course not directly, rather his hair, which he likes a lot and distributed in the house. And as the cup is now unfortunately but its limit. However, I hope that Philips here could possibly create by slight modifications to the device Remedy.
The problem is that the dog hair does not get into the receiver, but in front of the (in my opinion too small) opening to collect no more suction is present. In the hair is then caught and the dust and crumbs and if you then releases the container from the machine to empty it, a fall towards all the dust and grime and dirty even the whole device and if one is very close to the device even the shoes (or socks). En route to the trash and then they pull a trail of rippling animal hair and dust balls behind them. The Philips PowerPro Uno sucks very well all on what he finds on the road, the suction is not enough well but from everything to blow into the container but only up to the opening.
Furthermore, he makes every time you turn on the right and left of the filter openings a cloud of dust. And even at the very first time, as I have freshly unpacked and mounted him. So I have apparently no new device, but one that has been well tested either by the manufacturer or it was already at another customers. In my euphoria of the first test I've ousted quickly, however, as he constantly blew these dust clouds, if you have turned on him, I could no longer ignore it and eventually it began to annoy. They want the house actually free from dust, but distributes it each time you start in the room somehow suboptimal ... here would perhaps still be improved on the filters ...
My conclusion again in a nutshell:
+ A very good suction result
+ The device is as easy as possible and only as heavy as necessary
+ The suction cup is very smooth
+ The handle is nice and long and thus make good use even for people from 1.80 m Height
+ The hopper is easy to remove, evacuate and re-engage
+ Battery performance enough long enough, because sucking is much faster than usual
+ Very back-friendly suction through low weight and good maneuverability
- Animal hairs (about 4 5 cm) will not be sucked into the container but accumulate before
- Then something falls on the feet and the unit when removing the container itself
- Through the filter openings a dust cloud is blown at power
Great for pet-free households with security. Good for sucking in between, as well as a full set for the "normal" wired vacuum cleaner. Good for back problems (like me ...) and good for small apartments, because little storage space is needed. I can express a clear buy recommendation in these cases, and I hope you enjoy vacuuming (no joke, really fun !!!) ...
And if I'm going Philips removes the problems addressed be the first to buy it back! And I hope this will be rectified soon ...!
