I had never had a Philips brand vacuum cleaner. I was surprised when opening the carton of "smallness" of the vacuum. I have long been a much more cumbersome Electrolux vacuum cleaner. The effectiveness is greater, in particular as regards the cat hair on the cushions, which is never easy. I have three cats and lots of cushions on which course I let them bask. Rendering after passage of the Philips insisting a little is good, better than with the Electrolux which always leaves hanging hair, I had to remove by hand. Nothing to say about the aspiration Parquet and tiles: impeccable (! It shows in the dust compartment) with the additional brush DiamondFlex very useful to pass under furniture and crannies, a real plus, more need remove brush: it is rotating and fine enough. Considering that the effectiveness - I ask above all for vacuum cleaner - is the big advantages of it are especially for me its light weight and small footprint, and the cable length: Wholesale I find it much easier to move about in the rooms of the house with my Electrolux. Finally, a real discovery for me: the "no bag". I was relatively reticent after bad echoes, and I discover proven technology here. The emptying of the tank is very easy, no question of asking questions on the type of bag to buy and especially bag obviously more to buy! No regular expenditure anticipated in excess of the purchase price, and the guarantee of maximum efficiency: just empty the tank (as I often expected that the bag is saturated before changing). Noise aside, nothing transcendent in relation to my Electrolux, but okay. Instructions for more than succinct use (only drawings), this is not enough me harm. Well, I finish with the negatives, which is never good, so I insist efficiency appointments, handling and some "bagless": an exciting discovery! A vacuum cleaner not matched by his predecessors, so note 5.
