+ Processing: In contrast to our more favorable Philips FC8477 / 91 vacuum cleaner PowerPro Compact PowerCyclone4 without bag, EPA 10, ECO, the gray PowerPro Ulimate is processed significantly valent, is very pretty and therefore makes a solid, well-made impression. What is this price range but can also be quite expected.
+ Excellent energy efficiency: The vacuum cleaner is in the energy efficiency class A - and despite that consume little power, he does a lot!
+ Good range: When I plug in the vacuum cleaner center in our apartment (110m²), I'll go anywhere without having to change the electrical outlet. This really is very good! The manufacturer is the radius with 10m. I have not measured it, but this could go, because I really get on well through the apartment.
+ The volume: I feel this vacuum cleaner of the volume ago as a relatively pleasant. A really quiet vacuum cleaner I have ever experienced. I can not complain here - the volume is ok and more pleasant than with cheaper models.
+/- The Vacuum-cleaner: The PowerPro Ulimate FC9920 / 09 is well suited for those who are looking for an "all-rounder". Although he can not outstandingly good, but cleans both carpet and hard floor tidy. Personally, I like it better when the carpet (without pet hair - but with animal hair erstrecht) is cleaned with a rotating brush. Because the results of rotating brushes came so far, no other attachment and is also here like that. The cleaning performance is solid, but could be a bit better. This vacuum cleaner specializes neither on hard floors or on carpets, so it provides in all areas an average (but just not outstanding) cleaning performance.
+/- The dust collection container: First, I must say that the dust collector tank can be emptied well. Since I already had other models in the hand in which you still "rumwühlen" in the dirt had to rauszubekommen everything. I like that the Philips FC9920 / 09 quite well! However, I find it a pity that you can not wash the container. Because after months of use looks a Staubaufangbehälter be bagless models simply no longer so great - because it's handy if you can even clean it properly. This is unfortunately not possible.
+/- The manual: Who can read Bildchen / like is an advantage here. Text one searches in vain. There are only pictograms, explaining the most important things.
- Sucking under cabinets: Our living room cabinets have the floor to cabinet floor about 10 cm of free space. While I relaxed with the hard floor brush underneath come with our Dyson, I fail here with the Philips FC9920 / 09 and its somewhat bulky TriActiveMax nozzle. According to the manufacturer, there is a matching TriActiveZ nozzle that was not included. Possibly creates this situation? However, there is also no indication that you can purchase these separately nozzle (Stand 10.06.2014).
CONCLUSION: The Philips FC9920 / 09 PowerPro Ultimate is a good-quality, all-round vacuum cleaner bagless, which makes everything somehow quite well but without shine in any area. I'm missing a rotating brush for carpets and a flatter brush with which one also comes under cabinets. So it is enough for scarce four star.
