I have in my household two dogs and two cats Kathäuser where daily some drops of hair and, of course, must be reabsorbed. Although I already have a high quality vacuum cleaner that also works fine, but my second sucker has given up the ghost, unfortunately, some time ago and now I have always over several floors the vacuum cleaner tow. , At first I had doubts as to whether this Philips Performer Expert would really withstand the high demands because my previous vacuum cleaner moving in a higher price segment. In his russet plastic housing this sucker looks very chic and high quality. To protect a rubber ring around the housing to furniture, door frames and of course the cylinder vacuum cleaner from scratches, if even colliding with each other, would have been desirable here, but is rated by me neutral. Two of the rollers are mounted back outside and give the suckers somehow an upbeat appearance. , On the rear top of the suction power can be adjusted by turning a knob, so the chore stooping, this I do not like quite as good. Below this power control are each two large pushbuttons once installed the on / off button next to the button for the cord storage facility. Beneath these push buttons is still a smaller pressure switch which opens a small door behind which the particulate filter is located. , On the front top of the Philips cylinder vacuum cleaner, a flap can be opened in order to get to the dust bag. An integrated accessory tray is not available. A crevice tool for narrow places and upholstery for the cushions, which you still may postpone an extra attachment in the front part for sensitive parts are attached to a separate holder, but must somehow be stored in a closet or. There are better solutions from the competition. , Besides TriActiveMax nozzle for hard floors is also a Super Turbo-suction brush attached for carpets, which knocks by the rotating brush pet hair and dust from deep-seated, high pile carpets and sucks at the same time. Such brush heads are not necessarily new, but usually have to be purchased separately. , But now to the acid test with the animal hair: We are a Langflorteppich in the entrance area, which was declared by our dogs to their carpet and on which they lie constantly. Their treat them once haul on this carpet, in order to then destroy with relish. Automatically fall small crumbs in the carpet. Also here runs throughout the day, a horde of teenagers through the house, often forget that outside the door is a doormat and the shoes to be really taken off. So this carpet captures all sorts of dirt, crumbs and pet hair that must be absorbed daily then, with a turbo brush can sometimes reach their limits. I had been genuinely surprised by the suction force of this canister vacuum cleaner and enthusiastic. Armed with the turbo brush I have taken this carpet as the first object in attack and was disappointed. The carpet looked after treatment although quite good, but I had quite often go about it before actually all particles were absorbed. This I know with a turbo brush but totally different. I had exactly in the middle and stopped the TriActiveMax nozzle then used that has because this is handled with flying colors. , The telescopic tube can be very nice to the desired length and TriActiveMax nozzle has done on the smooth floor you down even excellent. I had temporarily feel me festzusaugen the floor and could slightly reduce the suction power. On carpets the normal nozzle is also sufficient to leave without anything is there at crumbs or hair. The volume of the Philips canister vacuum cleaner is much lower than with my old vacuum cleaners. In my work I have checked the dust bag, and was amazed at how much dirt was inside. Apart from the turbo brush I find this Canister very good and now the children can also suck her room at the top itself.
