Overall I have to say that you also noted the considerable price in many places. So the suction accessories has become much more extensive, particularly for the car. The fine filter is now no more paper filter (which was hard to get, and then to astronomical prices), but a cloth bag that can be easily cleaned. The connecting cable for the cigarette lighter has also been improved. It is now high on the cable material and the suction-side connector is now a circular connector with neat tight fit, while the flat connector of the predecessor with extensive use highly prone to intermittent contact. In addition, a proper case for the device + Accessories Now is where the predecessor alone the accessories found space in a cheap bag whose pushbutton buckle fell at the first use apart. Only a separation equipment / accessories would still have been desirable in this case, so that the transparent part of the device is not unnecessarily scratched by accessories. Something incomprehensible I find only that the long nozzle and the broad Büstendüse can be combined only with the hose, which neatly costs through the suction hose length.
The suction power seems also improved vs. me. the predecessor how the battery capacity. Where its predecessor the suction quite abruptly broke at the end of about 50%, the new device is only gradually weaker and you can bring sucking still good to end. Also the device is running noticeably longer, but I have stopped any time.
The power supply for charging is energetically very frugal. If the cleaner is not connected, the line-side power is no longer measurable. If the cleaner is connected, the power consumption does not fall permanently even at full charge of the batteries under 2.8W. This willingness charge is then constantly. Who needs the device often, but that will gladly accept. I myself unplug it when not in use by the network and load it only when actually needed or every 2-3 weeks time. Unfortunately, Philips has installed only the ancient NiMH batteries in this car compatible model, where you still have to pay attention in a weakened form of the memory effect of the battery. The user-friendly Li-ion technology, it is unfortunately only in the other series.
I particularly like in the charging station that the two shorter accessory nozzles can remain plugged into the platform of the charging station below, where they are always at hand.
5 stars, buy recommendation!
